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.

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

Replace the battery cover.

Installing the Projector

Installation Methods

Before installing, you first need to setup the top and bottom projectors. See the following manual for more information on setting up the projectors and the installation methods.

Startup Guide

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 projectors from the ceiling and project images from in front of a screen. (Front/Ceiling projection)

• Project images from behind a translucent screen. (Rear projection)

• Suspend the projectors 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.

• You cannot view 3D images when projecting onto a rear screen. To

view 3D images, project onto the front of a silver screen designed for passive 3D images. s "Optional Accessories" p.94

• An optional Ceiling mount is required when suspending the projector from a ceiling. s "Optional Accessories" p.94

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

Extended - Projection p.61

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

Maintenance

This chapter provides information on maintenance procedures to ensure the best level of performance from the projector for a long time to come.

Page 82

Cleaning

You should clean the projector if it becomes dirty or if the quality of projected images starts to deteriorate.

Caution

Turn off the projector's power before cleaning. Otherwise, it could cause an electric shock.

Cleaning the Projector's Surface

Clean the projector's surface by wiping it gently with a soft cloth.

If the projector is particularly dirty, moisten the cloth with water containing a small amount of neutral detergent, and then firmly wring the cloth dry before using it to wipe the projector's surface.

Attention

Do not use volatile substances such as wax, alcohol, or thinner to clean the projector's surface. The quality of the case may change or become discolored.

Attention

Do not rub the lens with harsh materials or subject the lens to shocks as it can easily become damaged.

Cleaning the Polarizer

Clean the polarizer's surface by wiping it gently with a soft cloth.

Cleaning the Lens

Use a commercially available cloth for cleaning glasses to gently wipe the lens.

Warning

Do not use sprays that contain flammable gas to remove dust and lint from the lens. The projector may catch fire due to the high internal temperature of the lamp.

Attention

Do not rub the polarizer with harsh materials or handle it too roughly as it can easily become damaged.

Cleaning the 3D Glasses

Clean the lenses of the glasses by wiping them gently with a soft cloth.

Page 83

Cleaning

Attention

• Do not rub the lenses of the glasses with harsh materials or handle them too roughly as they can easily become damaged.

Cleaning the Air Filter

Clean the air filter and the air intake vent when the following message is displayed.

Regarding the numbers displayed next to icons; 1 indicates the commander and 2 indicates the receiver.

• If a message is frequently displayed, even after cleaning, it is time to replace the air filter. Replace it with a new air filter.

s "Replacing the Air Filter" p.88

• It is recommended that you clean these parts at least once every three months. Clean them more often than this if using the projector in a particularly dusty environment.

Clean or replace the air filter for the projector indicated by the arrow.

Attention

• If dust collects on the air filter, it can cause the internal temperature of the projector to rise, and this can lead to problems with operation and shorten the optical engine's service life. Clean the air filter immediately when the message is displayed.

• Do not rinse the air filter in water. Do not use detergents or solvents.

Page 84

Replacing Consumables

This section explains how to replace the lamp and the air filter.

Replacing the Lamp

Lamp replacement period

It is time to replace the lamp when:

• The following message is displayed.

Regarding the numbers displayed next to icons; 1 indicates the commander and 2 indicates the receiver.

Replace the lamp for the projector indicated by the arrow. The message is displayed for 30 seconds.

• The lamp indicator flashes orange.

Attention

• The lamp replacement message is set to appear after the following time periods in order to maintain the initial brightness and quality of the projected images.

When using Power Consumption continually at Normal: About 3900 hours When using Power Consumption continually at ECO: About 4900 hours s Settings - Power Consumption p.60

• If you continue to use the lamp after the replacement period has passed, the possibility that the lamp may explode increases. When the lamp replacement message appears, replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible, even if it is still working.

• Do not repeatedly turn off the power and immediately back on. Turning the power on and off frequently may shorten the lamp's operating life.

• Depending on the characteristics of the lamp and the way it has been used, the lamp may become darker or stop working before the lamp warning message appears. You should always have a spare lamp unit ready in case it is needed.

How to replace the lamp

The lamp can be replaced even when the projector is suspended from a ceiling.

• The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.

Page 85

Replacing Consumables

Warning

Replacing the lamp for the commander

• When replacing the lamp because it has stopped illuminating, there is a possibility that the lamp may be broken. If replacing the lamp of a projector which has been installed on the ceiling, you should always assume that the lamp is cracked, and you should stand to the side of the lamp cover, not underneath it. Remove the lamp cover gently. Be careful when removing the lamp cover as shards of glass may fall out and could cause an injury. If any shards of glass get into your eyes or mouth, contact your local physician immediately.

• Never disassemble or remodel the lamp. If a modified or disassembled lamp is installed in the projector and used, it could cause a fire, electric shock, or an accident.

Caution

• Wait until the lamp has cooled down sufficiently before removing the lamp cover. If the lamp is still hot, burns or other injuries may result. It takes about one hour after the power has been turned off for the lamp to be cool enough.

• When the projectors are in a stacked configuration, follow the steps in the User's Guide to replace the lamps. If the steps are not followed correctly, the product could fall, or your fingers could get caught, which could cause an injury to occur.
