Useful Features and Functions
z Mercury-free Hybrid Light Source
A CASIO-original laser and LED hybrid light source delivers high luminance up to 2,700 lumens. This
projector does not use a mercury lamp, making it environmentally friendly.
z No-wait Projection
A CASIO hybrid light source reaches maximum brightness immediately after power is turned on,
compared with a wait of approximately one minute normally required with a mercury lamp. The light
source will even reach maximum brightness immediately if you turn it back on right after you turn it
off. A mercury lamp requires a longer wait in this case to cool down.
z Eco Mode
You can select from among five levels that provide different combinations that balance power
saving with projection brightness.
z Support for Three Input Sources
Analog RGB, component video (Y·Cb·Cr, Y·Pb·Pr), and HDMI input sources are supported.
z Vertical Keystone Correction
Manual adjustment to correct for vertical keystoning (distortion of the projected image shape
caused when projecting from below or above the projection surface) and return the projected image
to a rectangular shape.
z AUDIO OUT Terminal for Audio Output
Audio input via the projector’s HDMI terminal or AUDIO IN terminal is output from its AUDIO OUT
terminal. Amped speakers or other equipment can be connected to the AUDIO OUT terminal when
you want to output audio from another device via the projector.
z Ceiling Mounted and Rear Projection Support
The projector can be configured to project an image of normal orientation even when installed
upside down (for ceiling projection) or when projecting from behind the screen.
z Direct Power On
The projector can be configured to turn on automatically and start projecting as soon as it is
plugged into a power outlet.
z Firmware update
Firmware (software in the projector flash ROM) updates can be transferred to the projector from a
computer as required.

Getting Ready
This section explains how to select a location for the projector, how to connect its cables, and how to
perform other operations required before using it.
Setting Up the Projector
Locate the projector on a desk, table, or stand that is firm and level. Make sure that you allow
sufficient space around the sides and back of the projector for proper ventilation. The illustrations
below show how the projector should be oriented relative to the screen for optimum projection.
Screen
Make sure the projector is at a right angle to the screen.
Setup Precautions
z Use a conveniently located power outlet that you can reach easily when you need to unplug the
projector.
z Do not located any objected within 30 cm (11.8 inches) around the projector. Particular care is
required to keep objects away from projector air intake and exhaust openings.
z Airflow from air conditioning equipment can blow the heat being exhausted from the area around
the projector’s lens in a way that causes heat ripples to appear in the projected image. If this
happens, adjust the airflow of the air conditioning equipment or move the projector.
6
Connecting Projector Cables
Connect the projector to a power outlet and to an input source device.
Use an RGB cable to connect to the RGB output terminal of a computer or other input source.

Password Protection
The password feature lets you keep unauthorized individuals from using the projector. You can specify
whether password input is required whenever you turn on the projector, and you can specify and
change the password as required. Use the Setup Menu “Option Settings 1 3 Password” setting to
configure password settings.
Using the Password Feature
Note the following precautions whenever you use the password feature.
z The password feature protects against unauthorized use of the projector. Note that it is not an
anti-theft measure.
z You will need to enter the initial factory default password the first time you use the projector after
turning on the password feature. Change the initial factory default password to a different one of
your choice as soon as possible after turning on the password feature.
z Remember that password operations are always performed using the remote controller, so you
should take care not to lose or misplace the remote controller.
z Also note that you will not be able to input the password if the remote controller batteries are dead.
Replace the remote control batteries as soon as possible after it starts to go low.
If you forget your password...
If you forget the password, you will need to bring the following two items to your CASIO distributor to
have the password cleared. Note that you will be charged to have the password cleared.
1. Personal identification (original or copy of your driver’s license, employee I.D., etc.)
2. Projector unit
Note that your CASIO distributor will not be able to clear the password of your projector unless you
bring both of the items listed above.
Also, keep the projector’s warranty in a safe place.
Important!
z Having your password cleared using the procedure described above will return all of the
settings of your projector, except for the Light Time, to their initial factory defaults.
Keep a written record of your password!
You will not be able to use the projector if you forget its password. We strongly suggest that you keep
a written or other type of record of the password so you can look it up when necessary.

Cleaning the Projector
Make it a habit to clean the projector at regular intervals as described in this section. Before cleaning
the projector, be sure to unplug it from the power outlet and make sure it is cooled down completely.
Cleaning the Projector Exterior
Wipe the exterior of the projector with a soft cloth that has been moistened in a weak solution of water
and a mild neutral detergent. Be sure to wring all excess moisture from the cloth before wiping.
Never use benzene, alcohol, thinner, or any other volatile agent for cleaning.
Cleaning the Lens
Carefully wipe the lens with a commercially available lens cloth or optical lens paper, like those for
eyeglasses or camera lenses. When cleaning the lens, do not apply undue force and take care to avoid
damaging the lens.
Cleaning Vents
Dust and dirt tend to collect around the intake vents. Because of this, you should use a vacuum
cleaner to clean away accumulated dust and dirt periodically (about once a month) as shown below.
Important!
z Continued use of the projector after dust has accumulated around the intake vents can cause
overheating of internal components and lead to malfunction.
z Certain operating conditions also can cause dirt and dust to accumulate around the
projector’s exhaust vents. If this happens, use the same procedure as that described above to
clean the exhaust vents.

Updating Firmware
The projector’s firmware (software in the projector flash ROM) can be updated from a computer
connected to the projector’s SERVICE port (USB port for ROM updating) with a USB cable.
To connect the projector’s SERVICE port with a computer’s
USB port
Use a commercially available USB cable to connect the projector’s SERVICE port to the computer’s
USB port.
SERVICE port
Use a USB cable with a micro USB plug on one end for connection to the projector’s SERVICE port,
and a plug on the other end with a shape that is compatible with the computer USB port.
Note
z For details about how to update the firmware, see the “Projector Firmware Update Guide”,
which is available at the CASIO website.
Hanging the Projector from a Ceiling
The projector can be hung from a ceiling. When doing so, the projector should be turned upside down,
and secured to the ceiling.
For full details, contact the retailer where you purchased the projector.
Important!
z When hanging the projector from a ceiling, make sure that it is at least one meter away from
fire detectors, fire alarms, and other fire protection devices. Locating the projector too close to
a fire protection device creates the risk of mis-operation of the device due to warm air
exhausted from the projector. Also, avoid locating the projector close to fluorescent lights or
other strong light sources. Bright light can shorten the operating range of the remote controller
or even make remote control impossible. When selecting a location for the projector, be sure
to test for proper operation of the remote controller.
z The vertical and horizontal orientation of the projected image is reversed from the normal
configuration when projecting from a projector hung from the ceiling. You need to change the
setup of the projector in order to correct for this. For details, see “Screen Settings 3 Ceiling
Mount” (page 20) under “Setup Menu Settings”.
