Page 11
Ensure that you read the following safeguards when setting up your projector.
Caution concerning the lamp unit
Potential hazard of glass particles if lamp rup­tures. In case of lamp rupture, contact your nearest EIKI Authorized Dealer or Service Center for replacement. See “Replacing the Lamp” on page 96.
Caution concerning the setup of the pro­jector
For minimal servicing and to maintain high image quality, EIKI recommends that this pro­jector be installed in an area free from hu­midity, dust and cigarette smoke. When the projector is subjected to these environments, the vents and lens must be cleaned more often. As long as the projector is regularly cleaned, use in these environments will not reduce the overall operation life of the unit. Internal cleaning should only be performed by an EIKI Authorized Dealer or Service Cen­ter.
Do not set up the projector in places ex­posed to direct sunlight or bright light.
Position the screen so that it is not in direct sunlight or room light. Light falling directly on the screen washes out the colors, making viewing difficult. Close the curtains and dim the lights when setting up the screen in a sunny or bright room.
The projector may be safely tilted to a maximum angle of 9 degrees.
Placement should be within 9 degrees of horizontal. If you have application requiring tilt angle exceeding 9 degrees, please check with your local EIKI sales office.
9°
When using the projector in high-altitude areas such as mountains (at altitudes of approximately 1,500 meters (4,900 feet) or more)
When you use the projector in high-altitude areas with thin air, set “Fan Mode” to “High”. Neglecting this can affect the longevity of the optical system.
Warning about placing the projector in a high position
When placing the projector in a high posi­tion, make certain it is carefully secured to avoid personal injury caused by the projec­tor falling down.
Do not subject the projector to hard im­pact and/or vibration.
Protect the lens so as not to hit or damage the surface of the lens.
Rest your eyes occasionally.
Continuously watching the screen for long hours will cause eye strain. Take regular breaks to rest your eyes.
Avoid locations with extremes of tem­perature.
The operating temperature of the projector is from 41°F to 104°F (+5°C to +40°C).
The storage temperature of the projector is from –4°F to 140°F (–20°C to +60°C).

Info
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Do not block the intake and exhaust vents.
Allow at least 11 13/16 inches (30 cm) of space between the exhaust vent and the nearest wall or obstruction.
Be sure that the intake vents and the exhaust vent are not obstructed.
If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a pro­tection circuit will automatically put the pro­jector into standby mode to prevent overheat damage. This does not indicate a malfunc­tion (See pages 94 and 95.). Remove the pro- jector power cord from the wall outlet and wait at least 10 minutes. Place the projector where the intake and exhaust vents are not blocked, plug the power cord back in and turn on the projector. This will return the projector to the normal operating condition.
Caution regarding usage of the projector
When using the projector, take care not to sub­ject it to hard impact and/or vibration, as this can result in damage. Take extra care with the lens. If you are not to use the projector for a long time, make certain you unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, and disconnect any other cables connected to it.
Do not carry the projector by holding the lens.
When storing the projector, ensure you at-
tach the lens cap to the projector. (See page
13.)
Do not expose the projector to direct sunlight or place it near heat sources. Doing so may affect the cabinet color or cause deformation of the plastic cover.
Using the projector in other countries
The power supply voltage and the shape of the plug may vary depending on the region or country you are using the projector in. When using the projector overseas, make sure you use an appropriate power cord for the country you are in.
Temperature monitor function
If the projector starts to over­heat due to setup problems or blockage of the air vents, “ and “ the lower left corner of the picture. If the tem­perature continues to rise, the lamp will turn off, the temperature warning indicator on the pro­jector will blink, and after a 90-second cooling­off period the projector will enter the standby mode. Refer to “Maintenance Indicators” on page 94 for details.
The cooling fan regulates the internal tem­perature, and its performance is automati­cally controlled. The sound of the fan may change during projector operation due to changes in the fan speed. This does not indicate malfunction.
Even if you unplug the power cord after projector operation, the cooling fan con­tinues to run for a while. When you place the projector into the storage case, make sure that the cooling fan has stopped.
” will illuminate in
Other connected equipment
When connecting a computer or other audio­visual equipment to the projector, make the connections AFTER unplugging the power cord of the projector from the AC outlet and turning off the equipment to be connected.
Please read the owner’s manuals of the pro­jector and the equipment to be connected for instructions on how to make the connections.

Setting Up the Projector

Setting Up the Projector

For optimal image quality, position the projector perpendicular to the screen with the projector’s feet flat and level. Doing so will eliminate the need for Keystone correction and provide the best image quality.
Note
The projector lens should be centered in the middle of the screen. If the horizontal line passing through the lens center is not perpendicular to the screen, the image will be distorted, making viewing difficult.
For an optimal image, position the screen so that it is not in direct sunlight or room light. Light falling directly on the screen washes out the colors, making viewing difficult. Close the curtains and dim the lights when setting up the projector in a sunny or bright room.
Standard Setup (Front Projection)
Place the projector at the required distance from the screen according to the desired picture size. (For details, refer to “SETUP MANUAL” contained on the supplied CD-ROM.)
Indication of the Projection Image Size and Projection Distance
For details, refer to “SETUP MANUAL” contained on the supplied CD-ROM. Example : NORMAL Mode (4:3) for the standard zoom lens (AH-51401)

Maintenance

Cleaning the projector
Ensure that you have unplugged the power cord before cleaning the projector.
The cabinet as well as the operation panel is made of plastic. Avoid using benzene or thinner, as these can damage the finish on the cabinet.
Do not use volatile agents such as insecticides on the projector. Do not attach rubber or plastic items to the projec­tor for long periods. The effects of some of the agents in the plastic may cause damage to the quality or finish of the projector.
Mild detergent
Mild detergent
diluted with water
Cleaning the air vents and the intake vent cover
Use a vacuum cleaner to clean dust from the ex­haust vent, the intake vents and the intake vent cover (on the bottom of the projector).
If you want to clean the air vents and the intake vent cover during projector operation, ensure
you press
remote control and put the projector into standby mode. After the cooling fan has stopped, unplug the power cord from the AC socket and clean the air vents and the intake vent cover.

Thinner
Wax
Wipe off dirt gently with a soft flannel cloth.
When the dirt is hard to remove, soak a cloth in a
mild detergent diluted with water, wring the cloth well and then wipe the projector. Strong cleaning detergents may discolor, warp or damage the coating on the projector. Make sure to test on a small, inconspicuous area on the projec­tor before use.
Cleaning the lens
Use a commercially available blower or lens clean­ing paper (for glasses and camera lenses) for clean­ing the lens. Do not use any liquid type cleaning agents, as they may wear off the coating film on the surface of the lens.
As the surface of the lens can easily get damaged, be careful not to scrape or hit the lens.
Cleaning the intake vent cover
Note
Cleaning
Paper
The air vents and the intake vent cover should be cleaned every 100 hours of use. Clean the air vents and the intake vent cover more often when the pro­jector is used in a dusty or smoky location.
Ensure that the intake vent cover is securely in­stalled. The power will not turn on unless it is cor­rectly installed.

Info
If the temperature warning indicator blinks and the projector enters the standby mode, the temperature
warning indicator starts to illuminate. Check whether any of the ventilation holes are blocked (see page 10) and then try turning the power back on. Wait until the projector has cooled down completely before plugging in the power cord and turning the power back on. (At least 10 minutes.)
If the power is turned off for a brief moment due to power outage or some other cause while using the projector, and the power supply recovers immediately after that, the lamp indicator will illuminate in red and the lamp may not be lit. In this case, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet, replace the power cord in the AC outlet and then turn the power on again.
The cooling fan keeps the internal temperature of the projector constant and this function is controlled automatically. The sound of the cooling fan may change during operation because the fan speed may change and this is not a malfunction.

Regarding the Lamp

Lamp

It is recommended that the lamp units (optional: AH-50001 and AH-50002) be replaced when the re­maining lamp life becomes 5% or less, or when you notice a significant deterioration in the picture and color quality. The lamp life (percentage) can be checked with the on-screen display. See page 83.
Purchase a replacement lamp unit of type AH-50001 and AH-50002 from your place of purchase, nearest EIKI Authorized Dealer or Service Center.
Hg LAMP CONTAINS MERCURY For State Lamp Disposal Information www.lamprecycle.org or 1-800-242-3454

Caution Concerning the Lamp

This projector utilizes a pressurized mercury lamp. A loud sound may indicate lamp failure. Lamp failure can be attributed to numerous sources such as: excessive shock, improper cooling, surface scratches or deterioration of the lamp due to a lapse of usage time. The period of time up to failure largely varies depending on the individual lamp and/or the condition and the frequency of use. It is important to note that failure can often result in the bulb cracking.
When the lamp indicator and on-screen display icon are illuminated, it is recommended that the lamp be replaced with a new one immediately, even if the lamp appears to be operating normally.
Should the lamp break, the glass particles may spread inside the lamp cage or gas contained in the lamp may be vented into the room from the exhaust vent. Because the gas in this lamp includes mercury, ventilate the room well if the lamp breaks and avoid all exposure to the released gas. In case of exposure to the gas, consult a doctor as soon as possible.
Should the lamp break, there is also a possibility that glass particles may spread inside of the projector. In such a case, it is recommended you contact your nearest EIKI Authorized Dealer or Service Center to assure safe operation.
U.S.A. ONLY

Replacing the Lamp

Caution
Do not remove the lamp unit from the projector right after use. The lamp will be very hot and may cause burn
or injury.
Wait at least one hour after the power cord is disconnected to allow the surface of the lamp unit to fully cool
before removing the lamp unit.
Carefully change the lamp by following the instructions described in this section. *If you wish, you
may have the lamp replaced at your nearest EIKI Authorized Dealer or Service Center.
* If the new lamp does not illuminate after replacement, take your projector to the nearest EIKI Authorized
Dealer or Service Center for repair.
