Important Operating Considerations for Safety
Place the projector in a horizontal position no greater than 15 degrees
off axis.
Locate the projector in a well-ventilated area without any obstructions
to intake or exhaust vents. Do not place the projector on a tablecloth or other soft covering that may block the vents.
Locate the projector at least 4' (1.2 m) away from any heating or cooling
vents.
Use only approved ceiling mounts.
Use only the power cord provided. A surge-protected power strip is
recommended.
Refer to this manual for proper startup and shutdown procedures.
In the unlikely event of the lamp rupturing, discard any edible items
placed in the surrounding area and thoroughly clean the area along all sides of the projector. Wash hands after cleaning the area and handling the ruptured lamp. This product has a lamp which contains a very small amount of mercury. Dispose of it as required by local, state or fed­eral ordinances and regulations. For more information see
www.eiae.org
.
Follow these instructions to help ensure image quality and lamp life over the life of the projector. Failure to follow these instructions may affect the warranty.
Do not place objects or people in the 2 foot (.6m) area along the side of the projector. For ceiling mount applications, this area should be 5 feet (1.5m).

Shutting down the projector
Troubleshooting your setup
The projector automatically blanks the screen after no active source is detected for 30 minutes. This blank screen helps preserve the life of the pro­jector. The image returns when an active source is detected or a remote or keypad button is pressed. The Interactive Display on the projector indicates the shutdown status.
Screen Save
You can make the blank screen appear after five minutes by turning on Screen Save in the Settings>System menu. See page 32. There are six time options for the Screen Save feature. They range from five minutes to 30 min­utes with five minute intervals.
Power Sav e
The projector also has a Power Save feature that automatically turns the lamp off after no signals are detected for 5 minutes. After 3 additional min­utes with no signal, the projector powers down. If an active signal is received before the projector powers down, the image is displayed. You must press the Power button to display an image after 30 minutes have passed. When Power Save is enabled, Screen Save is disabled. See page 32.
Turning off the projector
To turn off the projector, press the Powe r button and verify that you want to turn the projector off by pressing the Powe r button again within 3 seconds. You can cancel the shutdown by not pressing the Power button a second time. The lamp turns off and the LED blinks green for 1 minute while the fans continue to run to cool the lamp. When the lamp has cooled, the LED lights green and the fans stop. Unplug the power cable to completely power off the projector.
If your image appears correctly on the screen, skip to the next section (page 24). If it does not, troubleshoot the setup. The Interactive Display and LED on top of the projector indicate the state of the projector and can help you troubleshoot.

the software is initializing, or the projec­tor is powering down and the fans are running to cool the lamp.
A fan or lamp failure has occurred. Make sure the vents aren’t blocked (see page 21). Turn off the projector and wait one minute, then turn the projector on again. If the Replace Lamp message appears, replace the lamp and reset the lamp timer.
The following tables show common problems. In some cases, more than one possible solution is provided. Try the solutions in the order they are pre­sented. When the problem is solved, you can skip the additional solutions.

Using the remote control
The remote uses two (2) provided AA batteries. They are easily installed by sliding the cover off the remote’s back, aligning the + and - ends of the bat­teries, sliding them into place, and then replacing the cover.
To operate, point the remote at the projection screen or at the projector (not at the computer). The range of optimum operation is about 30 feet (9.14m).
Previous and Next buttons allow you to navigate through your PowerPoint presentation while in Slide Show mode. Connect the USB connector on the computer cable to your computer to use these buttons. When you do this for the first time, the Add New Hardware wizard may appear. See page 9 for details on loading the correct USB drivers.
Press the remote’s Menu button to open the projector’s menu system. Use the arrow buttons to navigate, and the Select button to select features and adjust values in the menus. See page 28 for more info on the menus.
previous button
navigation buttons
next button
The remote also has a Power button to turn the projector on and off (see page 15 for shutdown info), Vol u me and Mute buttons to control the sound, and Video and Computer buttons to switch between sources.
Two presentation-specific features are also provided. Use the Blank button to display a blank screen instead of the current slide (you can choose which color is displayed, see page 33); use the Effect button to invoke a user-defin­able action, such as freeze or zoom (see page 34 to learn to program this but­ton).
Troubleshooting the remote
Make sure the batteries are installed in the proper orientation and are not dead. The LED at the top of the remote lights when any button is pressed when the battery power is adequate.
Make sure you’re pointing the remote at the projector, not the com­puter, and are within the remote range of 30 feet (9.14m).
If you are trying to advance PowerPoint slides, make sure the USB cable is connected. If using a USB cable, make sure the correct drivers are installed.

To mute the sound, press the Mute button.
Troubleshooting audio
If there is no sound, check the following:
Make sure the audio cable is connected.
Make sure mute isn’t active.
Make sure the volume is turned up enough. Press the Vol um e button on the keypad or remote.

Optimizing computer images
Presentation features
After your computer is connected properly and the computer’s image is on the screen, you can optimize the image using the onscreen menus. For gen­eral information on using the menus, see page 28.
Adjust the Keystone, Contrast, or Brightness in the Picture menu.
Change the Aspect Ratio. See page 29 for details.
Adjust the Color Temperature in the Advanced menu.
Adjust the Phase, Tracking, or Horizontal or Vertical position in the Advanced menu.
Once you have optimized the image for a particular source, you can save the settings using Presets. This allows you to quickly recall these settings later. See page 30.
Adjust the Room Lighting. Select Dark if you are in a dark room, Light if in a bright room (page 30).
Several features are provided to make giving presentation easier. The fol­lowing is an overview, details are found in the menu section on page 28.
•The remotes Effect button allows you to assign various features to the key. The default effect is Freeze. You can select from Blank, Mute, Aspect Ratio, Source, Auto Image, Freeze, Zoom, About, PiP, and Mask. See page 34 for details.
The Freeze effect allows you to freeze the displayed image. This is use­ful if you want to make changes on your computer without your audi­ence seeing them.
•The Blank button on the remote allows you to display a blank screen instead of the active source. See page 33.
The PiP effect lets you show a video source in a smaller window on top of the computer image. See page 34.
The Startup Logo menu option lets you change the default startup screen to a black, white, or blue screen. See page 33.
Two menu options, Power Save and Screen Save, are provided to auto­matically shut down the projector after several minutes of inactivity or display a blank screen. This helps preserve lamp life. See page 32.

tor’s startup Chime on and off.
Sources: allows you to assign a particular input to a specific source key
when using the optional Integrator remote. Also allows selection of a default Startup Source and enables or disables Autosource.
Sources>Startup Source: this determines which source the projector checks first for active video during power-up.

Cleaning the dust filters
The dust filters catch dust and other particles in the air. If the filters become clogged, the projector does not cool properly and may malfunction. In dirty or dusty environments, they should be cleaned after every 100 hours of use. Failure to do so may result in premature lamp failure. There are two filters, one mesh filter attached to the dust filter door and one metal grid filter adjacent to the lamp door.
1 Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable.
