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

Remove the battery cover.

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

Caution

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

If the batteries are not used correctly, they could explode or leak causing a fire, injury, or damage to the product.

Replace the old batteries with new batteries.

Replace the battery cover.

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.

• 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.

Attention

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

• An optional ceiling mount and attachment plate are required when

suspending the projector from a ceiling. s "Optional Accessories" p.121

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

s Extended - Projection p.84

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

Summary of correction procedure

When multiple projectors are set up and you need to make corrections, use the following procedure to correct one projector at a time.

1. Set the projector ID.

Set a unique projector ID for the target projector so that you can limit which projector is being corrected.

2. Correct the color difference.

You can carry out color correction when projecting from multiple projectors. You can adjust from black to white in five stages called levels 1 to 5, and in each of these 5 levels you can adjust the following two points.

• Correcting brightness You can correct the image brightness to make them all equal.

• Correcting color You can correct the image color so that they match closely.

Setting an ID and using the remote control

By setting an ID for each projector, you can limit which projector is operated from the remote control.

Correcting the Color Difference when Projecting from Multiple Projectors

When multiple projectors are lined up and projecting images, you can correct the brightness and color tone of each projector's image with multiscreen color adjustment so that the colors of images from each projector match closely.

In some cases the brightness and color tone may not match completely

even after correction.

You can set an ID for the projector within a range of "1" to "9". The default value is Off.

On the remote control, select the Projector ID from 0 to 9 for the projector you want to operate. The following examples show the combination of IDs for the Projector ID and the ID selected with the remote control.

When the supplied or optional wireless LAN unit is installed and being used in Advanced connection mode, it is strongly recommended that you set security. Select one of the following security methods.

• WEP

Data is encrypted with a code key (WEP key). This mechanism prevents communication unless the encrypted keys for the access point and the projector match.

• WPA

This is an encryption standard that improves security which is a weak point of WEP. Although there are multiple kinds of WPA encryption methods, this projector uses TKIP and AES.

WPA also includes user authentication functions. WPA authentication provides two methods: using an authentication server, or authenticating between a computer and an access point without using a server. This projector supports the latter method, without a server.
