Projector Placement Guidelines
To get the best results when projecting your images, it is
important to position the projector at the proper height and
distance relative to the screen.
When projecting from a table or desk, place the projector so
the lens is aligned as closely as possible with the bottom of
your screen:
When projecting from the ceiling, align the lens as closely as
possible with the top of your screen:
To determine the projection distance when you know the
diagonal size of the screen image:
❏
Inches:
Maximum projection distance = (2.1593
Minimum projectiondistance = (1.6562
❏
Centimeters:
Maximum projection distance = (2.1593

162.5 inch es (4.2 m) 212.9 inch es (5.4 m)
The distance between the projector and the screen determines
the actual image size. To determine the exact distance required
for a particular image size (or to determine the size of an image
at a particular distance), use the following formulas.
(Remember that the size of the image can be changed by
rotating the zoom ring.)
To determine the minimum and maximum diagonal size of an
image when you know the projection distance:
❏

Maximum image size = (0.6038

Using the Remote Control
The remote control uses a line-of-sight infrared signal. To use
the remote control, point it toward the infrared receiver
located at the front of the projector.
To be able to use the remote control as a cordless mouse,
connect the projector to your computer with the mouse cable
(PS/2 or Mac) that came with the projector or with the
optional ELP Link III set cables.
You can use the remote control up to about 32 .8 feet
(10 meters) from the projector. (This distance m ay be shorter
if the remote control batterie s are low.) You must also be

Note:
The p rojector may not respond to remote control commands
in these conditions: ambient light is too bright; a certain type of
fluorescent light is present; a strong light source (such as direct
sunlight) shines into the infrared receiver; or other equipment
emitting infrared energy is present (such as a radiant room
heater). Correct these conditions to use the remote control or
control the projector from a computer.

Cleaning the Air Filter
Clean the air filter at the bottom of the projector after every
100 hours of use. If it is not cleaned periodically, it can
become clogged with dust, preventing proper ventilation. This
can cause overheating and damage the projector. To clean the
air filter, follow these steps:
1. Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable from the
electrical outlet.
2. Place the projector on its side with the handle at the top so
that the filter is easily accessible.

4. The air filter is attached to the inside of the filter cover. It is
recommended that you use a small vacuum cleaner designed
for computers or other office equipment to clean the filter. If
you dont have one, use a dry, lint-free cloth.
If the dirt is difficult to remove or if the filter is torn, replace
the air filter.
Note:
An air filter comes with each replacement lamp.
5. Place the air filter back inside the filter cover.
6. Plug the power cable back into the electrical outlet.
Replacing the Lamp
The projector lamp typically lasts for about 2000 hours of use.
It is time to replace the lamp when:
❏
The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate
❏
The projector lamp indicator is red or is flashing orange and
red alternately
❏
The message
LAMP REPLACE

Warning:
Let the lamp cool before replacing it. Also, do not touch
the glass portion of the lamp assembly; this can cause premature
lamp failure.
1. Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable from the
electrical outlet and the projector. Wait at least 20 minutes
for the bulb to cool.
2. Place the projector on its side with the handle at the top so
the lamp cover is easily accessible.
3. Use a screwdriver, coin, or similar object to loosen the
retaining screw on the lamp cover. When the screw is loose,
lift off the lamp cover. (You cannot remove this screw from
the cover.)

4. Use a screwdriver, coin, or similar object to loosen the two
screws holding the lamp unit in position. (You cannot
remove these screws.)
Caution:
Do not touch the glass portion of the lamp assembly;
this can cause premature lamp failure.
5. Lift up the handle and pull out the lamp assembly.
6. Gently insert the new lamp assembly by lowering it into
position. Make sure its inserted securely. Tighten the screws
on the new lamp assembly.
7. Replace the lamp cover and tighten the cover screw. (Make
sure the lamp cover is securely fastened. The projector will
not run if the lamp cover is open.)
