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

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.

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

Suspend the projector from the ceiling and project images from behind a translucent screen.

(Rear/Ceiling projection)

Attention

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

aAn optional Ceiling mount is required when suspending the projector from a ceiling.

that it

is parallel

to the screen.

If the projector is installed at an angle to

the screen, keystone distortion

occurs in the projected

image.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Place the projector on a level surface.

If the projector is tilted the projected image is also tilted.

aSee the following if you cannot install the projector parallel to the screen.

s "Correcting Keystone Distortion" p.39

See the following if you cannot install the projector on a level surface.

s "Adjusting the Horizontal Tilt" p.45 s "Correcting Keystone Distortion" p.39

Screen Size and Approximate Projection Distance
