Replacing the remote control batteries

If delays in the responsiveness of the remote control occur or if it does not operate after it has been used for some time, it probably means that the batteries are becoming flat. When this happens, replace them with new batteries. Have two AA size manganese or alkaline batteries ready. You cannot use other batteries except for the AA size manganese or alkaline.

Attention

Make sure you read the following manual before handling the batteries. s Safety Instructions

Caution

Remove the battery cover.

While pushing the battery compartment cover catch, lift the cover up.

Replace the old batteries with new batteries.

Check the positions of the (+) and (-) marks inside the battery holder to ensure the batteries are inserted the correct way.

Replace the battery cover.

Press the battery compartment cover until it clicks into place.

Installing the Projector

Installation Methods

The projector supports the following four different projection methods. Install the projector according to the conditions of the installation location.

• Project images from in front of the screen. (Front projection)

• Suspend the projector from the ceiling and project images from in front of a screen. (Front/Ceil‐ ing projection)

• Project images from behind a translucent screen. (Rear projec‐ tion)

• Suspend the projector from the ceiling and project images from behind a translucent screen. (Rear/Ceiling projection)

Warning

• A special method of installation is required when suspending the projector from a ceiling (ceiling mount). If it is not installed correctly, it could fall causing an accident and injury.

• If you use adhesives on the Ceiling mount fixing points to prevent the screws from loosening, or if you use things such as lubricants or oils on the projector, the projector case may crack causing it to fall from its ceiling mount. This could cause serious injury to anyone under the ceiling mount and could damage the projector. When installing or adjusting the ceiling mount, do not use adhesives to prevent the screws from loosening and do not use oils or lubricants and so on.

Attention

• Do not use the projector on its side. This may cause malfunctions to occur.

• Do not cover the projector's air intake vent or air exhaust vent. If either of

the vents are covered, the internal temperature could rise and cause a fire.

• An optional Ceiling mount is required when suspending the

projector from a ceiling. s "Optional Accessories" p.115

• The default Projection setting is Front. You can change from Front to Rear from the Configuration menu.

s Extended - Projection p.81

• You can change the Projection mode as follows by pressing down the [A/V Mute] button on the remote control for about five seconds.
