Warning, Notices and Safety Instructions
cleaned routinely to prolong the projector's lifecycle. Cleaning of the projector's interior should only
be performed by qualified service personnel dispatched by your local dealer and you should not
attempt to clean the inside of the projector by yourself.
If other light source is directly projected onto the projector screen, the color of the image from the
projector will appear to be pale and the image quality will be lower. In addition, your eyes would
be more prone to fatigue. Therefore, it is recommended that the projector be installed in places
without direct exposure to sunlight or other sources of intense light.
The ideal operating temperature range for the projector is between 32°F ~ 104°F (0°C ~ 40°C)
The ideal storage temperature range for the projector is between -4°F ~ 104°F (0ºC ~ 40°C)

Can’t >15°
Can’t >15°
Configurations for projector operation at high altitudes
When operating the projector at higher altitudes, be sure to manually set the fan mode to "High"
or it could shorten the life of the optical system in the projector.High altitude is defined as
places being 1500 meters (4900 feet) or higher.
Please refer to Chapter VI on OSD Menu Lamps High Altitude Mode.
Keep the projector's ventilation inlets and outlets free from obstructions
Be sure to keep objects for no less than 30cm away from the ventilation inlets and outlets of the
projector and note the direction of air flow at the designated spot of installation. Do not let the
hot air released from the outlet flow back to the inlet as it will prevent proper cooling and lead to
damage of the projector's internal structure.
In the event of high temperature due to malfunctioning of the internal cooling fan caused by
clogging at the ventilation inlets and outlets, the projector will activate its automatic protection
mode and shutdown. When this happens, it does not necessary mean that the equipment is
malfunctioning. Try to unplug the power cord from the wall outlet and wait for approximately 15
minutes before operating the projector again (remember to remove the objects that have caused
poor ventilation so that the projector will not go into the protection mode again).Please refer to the
chapter on “LED STATUS”.
Description: The regulation of temperature inside the projector by the cooling fan is automatic. And
as such, the sound of cooling fan changing its operating speed does not imply that a problem has
occurred with the projector.
Protect the projector with care
When placing the projector at a high position, be sure to secure the projector firmly so that
it would not fall and cause injuries.Take care to protect the projector's lens from collision,
abrasion or other damages.Be sure to close the lens cover or cover the projector with a dust
cover if you need to store the projector or if it will not be used for an extended time.

Color Temperature
You can choose from 3200K, 5400K, 6500K, 9300K and Native.
Color temperature refers to the change in light color under different energies that is perceived
by the naked eye.The change of color temperature from low to high for visible light goes from
orange red white blue .
The projector's default color temperature is set at 6500K and it is suitable for most situations.
As color temperature rises, the image will appear to be more blue; as it decreases, the image
will appear redder.When you choose "Native", the projector will disable the white adjustment
function of the input device.
Input Balance
Regardless of the change in ambient light, the human eye is equipped with an automatic
adjustment mechanism that makes a white object appears white and black object black.
However, since no machine has such an incredible innate feature, you may need to make
certain adjustments to the projector's settings when the ambient light changes so that the
image will appear closer to the actual colors.
Offset
This refers to the control of color imbalance in the darker areas of the projected image.It is
recommended that you use an external test image with many areas of dark and gray colors
(i.e. an image of 30IRE-window). If you notice minimal amount of red, green or blue in the
gray areas, adjust the offset of the corresponding color accordingly.This function will shift the
entire color spectrum for the whole image and change its brightness.

When set to Normal mode, the wattage of the lamp will be at 280W. If the projection
environment requires brighter image, you can set the lamp to Normal for the highest
projection brightness.
Power
•
If the image brightness at Eco mode is too dark for you and the Normal mode gets too
bright, you can set it to Power to specify the power of the lamp yourself to make fine
adjustments to the brightness of the projected image.you could encounter situations where
the image from projector A being brighter than projector B. When this occurs, you can

brightness of the two projectors to achieve consistent image brightness. To access this
function, go to the OSD Menu LAMPS Power and adjust accordingly.
LAMPS
Depending on the application condition, either single lamp or dual lamps can be selected via
OSD menu. When the projector was switched from single lamp to dual lamps, an hourglass
OSD will block the user from the further OSD operation for 7 seconds. When the projector
was switched from dual lamp mode to single lamp, the lamps selection OSD will be blocked

OSD Menu description
High Altitude Mode
Use this function to control the projector's cooling fan. You can set it to Off or On. The default
setting is Off.
Under normal circumstances, the projector will operate normally with this function set to
Off. By default, the projector will detect the temperature of the surrounding environment to
regulate the speed of the cooling fan. When the ambient temperature rises, fan speed will
increase (generates louder noise) to make sure the heat inside the projector gets discharged
and keep the projector working normally.
However, if you were to operate the projector in environment of excessive heat or in areas of
high altitude, the projector may automatically shut down. When this happens, you can enable
this function by setting it to On to force the cooling fan to work at a higher speed to regulate
the temperature inside the projector.
High altitude region refers to area with elevation over 1500 meters (4900 feet).
When operating in normal altitude environments, the projector will adjust the cooling fan according to the
temperature of the working environment. When the temperature rises above 30C, the projector will automatically
increase fan speed.
According to the product specication, the maximum operating altitude for the projector is at 3000m@25C.This
means that you should not be operating the projector in high altitudes when the working environment is over 25C.
(Due to the air thinning substantially at high altitudes, the result of cooling achieved by the cooling fan is
signicantly reduced compared to operation on level ground. With low atmospheric pressure and high operating
temperature, the cooling fan will not be able to disperse the heat adequately)
6
Power
This function will not be available if you have set the lamp to Eco or Normal modes (OSD
Menu LAMPS Mode); you can only adjust this setting when the lamp has been set to
”Power”. You can specify the lamp power in the range of 82% ~ 100%. Generally speaking,
the lower the power, the dimmer the image will be but the lamp will have longer lifecycle.
In contrast, the higher the power, the brighter the image will be at the cost of shorter lamp
lifecycle.

Dynamic Contrast
Use this function to configure the projector to automatically adjust image contrast from the
source upon start up or shut down. When activated, the projector will dynamically adjust the
image contrast from the beginning of the projection until the content has ended.
Gamma
Different Gamma settings will affect viewers' perception of the image. Generally speaking,
for images that are darker, it is recommended that Gamma be set higher to yield better image
quality in darker regions by sacrificing details in brighter areas. In contrast, when projecting
brighter images, you can set the Gamma lower to give up details in the darker areas to make
the brighter areas (i.e. clouds) more visible.
You can choose from five different gamma settings (1.8, 2.0, 2.2, 2.35 and 2.5) on the
projector. The projector's default gamma value is at 2.2.
Every setting has precisely defined phases to display all primary colors (red, green, blue) and
secondary colors (yellow, cyan, magenta) in millions of pixels. Changing any number in the
setting will change the resulting color and rearrange the color "triangle".

IR Address
Use this function to configure the projector's IR code receive commands from the remote
control. The default value is 1.If you have other equipment in your home that could pick up
the command from the projector's remote control, it is recommended that you set the remote
control code to 2.
When you are running two projectors via serial connection, you can set the code on one
projector as "1" and "2" for the other projector. By doing so, you will be able to control two

Lamp and lter maintenance
Lamp replacement
The lifecycle of ordinary projection lamp
typically lasts for 1500-2000 hours before
requiring replacement (different lamp
configurations will affect lamp life). From the
OSD Menu, you can go to LAMPS Lamp1
or 2 Run Time to check how long a lamp has
been used. You should also replace the lamp
when the projected image gets noticeably
darker. Contact your local dealer to purchase
new certified lamps for your projector.
To replace the projector lamp
1. Turn off the projector and unplug
the power cord. Let the projector
cool for approximately 60 minutes
before removing the lamp module for
replacement.
5. Insert the new lamp in the direction
shown in the illustration into the lamp
assembly; tighten the two screws
using a screw diver and make sure
the lamp is rmly secured to prevent
the lamp from shaking or poor
contact.
When you turn off the projector, the lamp
inside the projector will still be very hot
(approximately 200 ~ 300°C). If you attempt to
replace the lamp without allowing the projector
to cool, you could risk scalding yourself. This
is why you should wait for no less than 60
minutes for the lamp to cool down in order to
perform the replacement safely.
2. Loosen the lamp cover.
Loose the
two screws
3. Use a screw driver to loosen the

Cleaning the lter
In order to keep the interior of the projector
clean, the projector is equipped with a filter to
keep out dust and other small particles. It is
recommended that you clean the projector's
filter around 500 hours of projector operation.
If you are operating the projector in a dusty
environment, it is recommended that you
clean the filter more often.
Dust clogs at the filter will prevent the
projector from drawing cool air to lower
the internal temperature. This could lead
to overheating and cause the projector to
malfunction or become damaged.
Use a vacuum cleaner to clean the
ventilation slots.
Lamp and lter maintenance
Take out the filter
and clean it.
3. Insert the clean lter.
Put the clear filter
inside the cover
4. Reattach the lter cover and tighten
the two screws.

To clean the filter at the ventilation slots,
refer to the following illustration:
1. Loosen the two screws on the cover
of the ventilation slot.
Loosen the
2 screws
2. Remove the dirty lter; you can clean
it directly using water. Leave it to dry
before replacing it for further use. If
the lter is broken, purchase a new
one to replace it.
