3.0 INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

Ver tical and Horizontal Offset Setting

The optimum image can be obtained when the centre of this projector’s lens and the screen are placed perpendicular to each other. Take note of the projection angle when placing them. Failing to do so may give rise to

trapezoidal distortion of the projected image.

This unit comes with a vertical and horizontal shift to suit most installations. Make sure that your installation does not exceed 80% vertical offset and 34% horizontal offset.

This unit comes with a optical shift that features vertical and horizontal adjustment of the projection screen position. Adjust the picture to your screen.

Do not mix new and old batteries. Do not mix different type of batteries as they are different in characteristics. Insert batteries according to the + and - marks on the battery case. Do not put batteries into ﬁre or recharge them if they are not design to. Remove the batteries if the remote control is not to be used for a prolonged period. Use manganese batteries wherever possible, Do not use rechargeable batteries.

NOTICE

If the remote control has to be brought closer to the projector to operate, it means that the batteries are wearing out. When this happens, replace the batteries. Insert the batteries according to the + and - marks.

4.3 How to use the remote control unit

The operable distance of the remote control unit is about 7m for direct reception and within 30 degree angle with respect to the sensor.

Back InfraRed sensor

Front InfraRed sensor

The remote control unit can be used by having the transmission signal reﬂected off a screen, as the effect of signals reﬂected from the RCU differ with the type of screen used, operable distance may decrease.

CAUTION AGAINST FIRE AND ELECTRIC SHOCK

Since the power consumption of this unit is high, insert the power plug directly into a wall outlet. When not using devices, remove the power plug from the wall outlet. Do not use power cords for connection other than speciﬁed. Do not use a power voltage different from that which is indicated. Do not cut, tear or modify the power cords. Also, do not place a heavy object on, heat or stretch the power cords as this may cause damage to the cords. Do not insert or pull plugs with a wet hand.

ABOUT COOL DOWN MODE

After projection or when warning occurred, the heated lamp will go through a 60-seconds cool-down process known as the Cool Down mode. This function is to prevent damage and deformation from the heated lamp may cause to the internal components of the projector. It also prevents lamp breakage and shortened lamp life. The Cool Down mode is indicated by the blinking red [STANDBY/ON] Indicator. When in Cool Down mode, the projector cannot be turned ON for 60 seconds. After the Cool Down process is completed, the unit will automatically switch to the Standby mode.

CAUTION

When in Cool Down mode, do not pull out the plug from the outlet. Also, do not block the air inlets/exhaust vents by standing the projector on its end or laying it on its side.

8.1 Clean Dirt on the Cabinet

Always use a soft cloth. In case of heavy soiling, soak a cloth in neutral detergent diluted with water, wring dry and wipe, followed by wiping again using a dry cloth.

Caution

Pay attention to the following as the cabinet may deteriorate in condition, get damaged or paint may come off.

• Do not wipe with a stiff cloth.

• Do not wipe with force.

• Do not wipe with thinner or benzene.

• Do not spray volatile chemicals like insecticide.

• Do not allow prolonged contact with rubber or plastic products.

8.2 Dirt on the Lens

The lens shall be cleaned using commercial blowers or lens cleaning papers (for cleaning glasses and cameras). Do not use ﬂuid-type cleaning agents. This may lead to peeling of the surface coating ﬁlm. The lens surface is fragile. Avoid rubbing it hard or knocking.

8.3 Replacing the Lamp

Light-source Lamp and Lamp Usage Time

The life of light-source lamps used for this unit is about 2000 hours.

• The lamp life of 2000 hours is merely the average life span of light-source lamps and we do not provide any guarantee for this ﬁgure. The lamp life may not reach 2000 hours depending on the operating conditions. Deterioration progresses rapidly when the remaining lamp usage time is short. Get ready or replace with a new lamp when the accumulated usage time exceeds 1900 hours. Depending on the operating conditions, the lamp may have to be exchanged earlier. If the image is dark or color tone abnormal, replace the lamp as soon as possible.

•You can also check the accumulated hours of usage. Please refer to Lamp Time of the Information menu.

• Setting Power Save of the Options menu to On does not affect the usage time of the light-source lamp.

Please consult your authorized dealer when purchasing a new lamp unit. When the lamp usage time exceeds 1900 hours (but less than 2000 hours

The [LAMP] indicator lights On orange and the Lamp replacement message will be displayed on the screen when projection starts.

• The message can be cleared by pressing any button on the remote control or this unit.

When the lamp usage time exceeds 2000 hours

The [LAMP] indicator lights On orange and the Lamp replacement message will be displayed on the screen when projection starts and the Warning mark will appear blinking.

• Press the [EXIT] button to clear the display. However, the same Warning and Lamp replacement messages will be displayed after 1 hour.

• When the unit is switched to the standby mode or turned off after the lamp usage time exceeds 2000 hours, it cannot be switched back to the projection mode again. In this case, replace with a new lamp and reset the lamp time.

• The projection mode (operating mode) cannot be restored until a new lamp is replaced and the lamp time reset.

8.0 MAINTENANCE

ABOUT LAMP REPLACEMENT

If this unit is installed in a constricted place, attempting to replace the lamp in that place may cause injury. Move this unit to a place large enough to perform work. Use only genuine replacement parts for the lamp unit. Otherwise, malfunction may occur. Also, never attempt to reuse an old lamp unit. This may cause marked performance deterioration or lamp blowout, thus leading to unit malfunction. Broken pieces of the lamp outside this unit may also cause injuries during lamp unit exchange. Do not replace the lamp immediately after this unit has been used. The temperature of the lamp is still high and this may cause a burn. Allow a cooling period of 1 hour or more before replacement. Before replacing the lamp unit, pull out the power plug from the outlet while the [STANDBY/ON] indicator is still light red. Replacing a lamp with the plug connected to the outlet may cause injuries or electric shocks.

Procedure for Lamp Replacement

During the lamp replacement process, you may have access to sensitive parts of the projector.

• Open the lamp Cover, on the side of the projector.

• Loosen the 2 screws on the lamp unit and lift up the handle.

• Pull out the lamp unit.

• Insert the new lamp unit until it is fully in.

• Tighten the screws of the lamp unit and close the handle.

• Attach the lamp cover and fasten the screw.

Resetting Lamp Time

After installing a new lamp, reset the lamp time. The lamp time counter will be reset and a new count

lamp time resets and the unit returns to the standby mode ([STANDBY/ON] indicator lights up red).

TO ENSURE THE LAMP TIME HAS BEEN RESET

The lamp time can be checked via the Lamp Time item of the Information menu.

CAUTION DURING RESET WORK

Reset the lamp time only when you have replaced the lamp. Never reset it when the lamp is still in use. Otherwise, the approximate standard for gauging replacement time may be inaccurate, lamp performance may deteriorate and lamp blowout may occur.

8.4 Cleaning and Replacing the Dust Filter

The ﬁlter must be cleaned regularly to allow an efﬁcient air intake. If the ﬁlter is extremely dirty and cannot be cleaned, or if it is damaged, replace the ﬁlter with a new one. Otherwise, dirt may enter the unit and appear on the screen, preventing you from enjoying the video fully. If dirt has entered the unit or if you need information about the ﬁlter, please consult your authorized dealer.

Pull out the plug from the power outlet

Pull out the power plug from the outlet while the [STANDBY/ON] indicator is still on.

Remove the inner ﬁlter

Push up and lift the claw at the base of the inner ﬁlter, followed by drawing out the ﬁlter.
