Projector Features

The following six preset colour modes are provided so that you can easily
obtain optimum images simply by selecting a Colour mode.
In addition, if projecting onto blackboards rather than projection screens in
places such as schools, you can select the "Blackboard" setting to allow
images to be projected in their natural tints.

The brightness of the lamp can be set to one of two settings.
Fine and clear images can be obtained even in a bright room like a
conference room and a classroom.
If projecting images in a dark room or onto a small screen and the images are
too bright, change the setting to "Low".
The advantages of the "Low" setting are

• Reduction in power consumption of approximately 20%

• Reduction in operating noise of approximately 12%

• Approximately 1.5 times longer lamp life

sp.62

The vertical angle of the projector is detected, so that any vertical keystone
distortion in the projected images can be automatically corrected. sp.41

The projector is compact B5 size (19.3 (D) × 27.6 (W) × 7 (H) cm) and
lightweight (EMP-745/737 : approx. 1.8 kg, EMP-740/732 : approx. 1.7 kg).
Easy to carry it with the included Soft carrying case which has a pocket to
put cables and other accessories.

Despite its compact size, the projector can display images at high resolutions
with a high degree of luminance, providing beautifully clear images even in
bright environments.

Automatically detects images input from connected equipment. You can
switch between the images with just a single touch of a button. sp.37

Projector Features

The accessory remote control can be used to carry out operations such as
pausing projection (Freeze function sp.51), zooming in on important parts
of images (E-Zoom function sp.52) and pointing out important parts of
images using a pointer icon (Pointer function sp.53).

In addition, the remote control can be used to move the pointer around on the
computer screen during projection (Wireless Mouse Function sp.22).

Password protect function assists administration
and theft prevention

Password protection function allows you to limit the use of the projector.
This means that the projector cannot be used if it is taken without
authorisation, and thus serves as a theft-prevention feature. sp.31

Direct Power On

You can make the projector turn on and be ready to project images simply by
connecting the power cable. You can also turn the power on for projectors in
places such as meeting rooms where the power is centrally controlled,
simply by turning the power on at the central control point.

This function locks the buttons on the projector's control panel.

This function is useful at times such as during shows and exhibitions, or in
places such as schools to limit the range of buttons that can be used. sp.54

TIP

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. Have two spare AAA-size alkali
batteries ready to use when required.

Before Using the Remote Control

Inserting the Batteries

The batteries are not already inserted into the remote control at the time the
projector is purchased. You will need to insert the batteries that are
provided with the projector before the remote control can be used.

PROCEDURE

Remove the battery cover.

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

12

Insert the batteries.

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

Replace the battery cover.

Press the battery compartment cover until it clicks into place.

Using the Remote Control

The remote control is used in the following way.

PROCEDURE

Point the remote control light-emitting area toward one of
the remote control light-receiving areas on the projector
and operate the remote control buttons.

TIP

•Do not allow sunlight or light from fluorescent lamps to shine
directly onto the projector's remote control light-receiving areas,
otherwise it may interfere with the reception of signals from the
remote control.

•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. If this happens, replace
the batteries with new ones.

s

p.12

•If any of the buttons on the remote control are pressed down for
more than 30 seconds, the remote control stops to send signals
(remote control's sleep mode) . The purpose of this is to prevent the
batteries from being consumed due to something being placed on top
of the remote control.
When the button is released, normal remote control operation will
resume.

Connecting to a Computer

CAUTION

When connecting the projector to a computer, make sure you check
the following.

•Turn the power off for both the projector and the computer before
connecting them. If the power for either device is on at the time of
connection, damage may result.

•Check the shapes of the cable connectors and the device ports before
making the connections. If you try to force a connector to fit a device
port with a different shape or number of terminals, damage to the
connector or port may result.

•Do not bind the power cable and the connecting cable together. If the
power cable and the connecting cable are bound together, image
interference or errors in operation may result.

CAUTION

Be sure to read the separate Safety Instructions/World-Wide Warranty
Terms before cleaning.

CAUTION

Do not use volatile substances such as wax, alcohol or thinner to
clean the projector's surface. These can cause the projector to warp
and make the coating finish peel off.

CAUTION

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

TIP

If the air filters are broken or if the warning message reappears after
they have been cleaned, they should be replaced. Replace with a new
air filter. See "Replacing the Air Filter".

Maintenance

This section describes maintenance tasks such as cleaning the projector and
replacing consumable parts.

Cleaning

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

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. Then wipe it again
with a soft, dry cloth.

99

Cleaning the Air Filters and Air Intake Vent

If dust collects on the air filter or the air outlet, it can cause the internal
temperature of the projector to rise, and this can lead to problems with
operation and shortening of the optical engine's service life.
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
particularly dusty environments.

Cleaning the Lens

Use a commercially-available air blower, or use a lens cleaning paper to
gently wipe the lens.
