Controls and Features

Loading Batteries into the Remote Control

Please load batteries into the remote control. If the remote control starts to work erratically, replace the batteries.
1.
Open the back cover
• Push the hook on the back cover lightly in the direc­tion of the arrow and lift it up.
2.
Load the batteries
• Place the two supplied batteries (AA/R6-size) into the remote control as illustrated below. To prevent short circuit, be sure to insert the minus · end of the battery first.
Precautions for using batteries
If batteries are used incorrectly, they may crack or leak. This could cause fire, burn, malfunction, staining or damaging of the surroundings.
Beware of the following:
• Do not mix new and old batteries.
• Do not mix different types of batteries as they are differ­ent in characteristics.
• Place batteries so they match the polarities indicated on the cartridge.
• Be sure to insert the minus · end in first to avoid short­circuiting.
• Do not put batteries into a fire or try to recharge them.
• Use only designated batteries.
• Remove the batteries if the remote control is not to be used for a prolonged period.
Battery Life
Batteries run for six months to one year in normal use. How­ever, the batteries supplied are for confirming operation and may not run that long. When the remote control starts failing to work properly, replace the batteries with new ones.
Battery Leakage
When the batteries are totally exhausted and can no longer be used, replace them immediately. Leaving the batteries in the battery compartment causes battery leakage which in turn causes malfunction. Further, in cases where the leakage comes to contact with the skin, wipe it away with a cloth, otherwise skin problems may occur.

Installing the Projector

Precautions for Installation

Please read the following properly when installing the projector.
Installation Environment
Please do not install or use this projector in the follow­ing places. The projector is a precision device and do­ing so could cause a fire or malfunction.
• Where there is water, humidity or dust
• Where the projector may be subjected to oil, smoke or cigarette smoke
• On a soft surface such as a carpet or cushion
• Where the projector may be subjected to direct sunlight
• Where temperature is high or low Allowable operation temperature range : +5 °C to +35 °C Allowable relative humidity range : 20 % to 80 %
(no condensa­tion)
Allowable storage temperature range : –10 °C to +60 °C
•Any room in which there is smoke and grease Even where smoke and grease levels are minimal, pro­longed exposure will affect the projector. The projector emits heat and optical components are cooled down by taking in large amount of air. The optical path being soiled by grease/dirt can cause images to become dark and the color projection to deteriorate. After soiling, removing grease/dirt totally from the optical parts is not possible.
Precaution for Usage
This projector uses a light-source lamp which reaches high temperatures when projecting. Please DO NOT use it in the following ways as doing so may result in fire or malfunction.
• Projecting images while the projector is on its side.
• Projecting images outside the specified angle. Do not use the projector while it is set more than ±5° horizontally (left/right), or more than ±25° vertically (up/ down). This could cause color variation or shorten the lamp life.
• Use while blocking the exhaust vents.
Minimum Space Required
Do not use a cover which may enclose the projector air-tight or block the exhaust vents. Allow sufficient space around the projector. When the projector is en­closed in a space of the following dimensions, use an air conditioner so that internal and external tempera­tures are the same.
300 mm
150 mm
300 mm

downward from the vertical line.

Mounting the Projector

When mounting of the projector is required, do it using the embedded three screw holes (M6 nuts) at the bottom of the projector.
Precaution for ceiling-mount
•To ceiling-mount and adjust the projector, special exper­tise and techniques are necessary. Be sure to ask your dealer or specialist to perform the work.
• Do not mount on places that will be subjected to knocks and vibrations.
• As the depth of the screw holes is 10 mm, use screws shorter than 10 mm but longer than 6 mm. Otherwise, the screws will damage the internal parts of the projector caus­ing malfunction.
