near a swimming pool, and the like.
Accessories – Do not place this product on an
unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The
product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or
adult, and serious damage to the product. Use only
with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the
product. Any mounting of the product should follow
the manufacturer's instructions, and should use a
mounting accessory recommended by the
manufacturer.
Ventilation – Slots and openings in the cabinet
are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable
operation of the product and to protect it from
overheating, and these openings must not be blocked
or covered. The openings should never be blocked
by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other
similar surface. This product should not be placed in
a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack
unless proper ventilation is provided or the
manufacturer's instructions have been adhered to.
Power Sources – This product should be operated
only from the type of power source indicated on the
marking label. If you are not sure of the type of
power supply to your home consult your appliance
dealer or local power company. For products
intended to operate from battery power, or other
sources, refer to the operating instructions.
Grounding or Polarization – This product may be
equipped with either a polarized 2-wire AC line plug
(a plug having one blade wider than the other) or a 3wire grounding type plug, a plug having a third
(grounding) pin. The 2-wire polarized plug will fit into
the power outlet only one way. This is a safety
feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into
the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still fails
to fit, contact your electrician to replace your
obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the polarized plug. The 3-wire grounding type plug
will fit into a grounding type power outlet. This is a
safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug
into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace
your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the grounding type plug.
Power-Cord Protection – Power-supply cords
should be routed so that they are not likely to be
walked on or pinched by items placed upon or
against them, paying particular attention to cords at
plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where
they exit from the product.
Lightning – For added protection for this product
during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended
and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from
the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable
system. This will prevent damage to the product due
to lightning and power-line surges.
Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets,
extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles
as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
A product and cart
combination should be moved
with care. Quick stops,
excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause the
product and cart combination
to overturn.
Object and Liquid Entry – Never push objects of
any kind into this product through openings as they
may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out
parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
Servicing – Do not attempt to service this product
yourself as opening or removing covers may expose
you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all
servicing to qualified service personnel.
2

from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified
service personnel under the following conditions:
When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into
the product.
If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
If the product does not operate normally by following
the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls
that are covered by the operating instructions as an
improper adjustment of other controls may result in
damage and will often require extensive work by a
qualified technician to restore the product to its
normal operation.
If the product has been dropped or damaged in any
way.
When the product exhibits a distinct change in
performance - this indicates a need for service.
Replacement Parts – When replacement parts are
required, be sure the service technician has used
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or
have the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric
shock or other hazards.
Safety Check – Upon completion of any service or
repairs to this product, ask the service technician to
perform safety checks to determine that the product
is in proper operating condition.

5. VARIOUS FUNCTIONS
Lighting
The lighting for presenting printed matter or other
material is installed on standard.
Each time the lighting button [LAMP] on the wireless
remote control is pressed, the lighting operates in order
of the L-side lamp alone lights up the L- and R-side
lamp goes off the L- and R-side lamps light up.
Reference When the R-side lamp unit is put away
while the L-side lamp alone is lighting,
large material can be effectively moved.
Note: When the lightness of the material surface is not
sufficiently high or a 3-D object is presented, a
sharp image with good color rendering can be
obtained with the upper lighting unit on.

7. TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
Symptom
No image on TV monitor
Out of focus
The lamp is not quickly turned ON
Possible cause/countermeasure
• Cable is not properly connected to the video-in terminal of
monitor.
• The power cord is disconnected from the wall AC outlet.
• The plug is disconnected from the power cord receptacle of the
Presenter.
• The power switch is not turned ON.
• Zoom is set at TELE to display only white/black part of the
material.
• The switch is turned ON immediately after it is turned OFF. In
this case, the Presenter may not start. Wait several seconds after
turning OFF the power switch, and then turn ON the power
switch.
• The object is too close to the lens. Check if it does not stand
higher than 15 cm (5.9 in.) above the stage surface.
• Zoom is set at TELE after focusing at WIDE angle.
Focus on the point of max. TELE.
• In the auto-focus, focusing is difficult in some cases.
• For protection purposes, the lamp is turned ON after preheating
for 2 seconds. This is not a fault.
Image is too dark
The image of printed matter is striped
The image flickers
• The ambient light is not sufficient. Press the lighting unit button
[LAMP] to turn ON the upper lamp.
• This is caused by the interference between the dots of printed
matter and the scanning line.
• The light from the discharge tube (50Hz) does not come to the
screen. This trouble may be reduced by setting the shutter
selection switch to [50]. (Refer to p. 8 )
