Remote Control Operating Range
The remote control uses infrared transmission to control the projector. It is not necessary to point the
remote directly at the projector. Provided you are not holding the remote perpendicular to the sides
or the rear of the projector, the remote will function well within a radius of about 7 meters (23 feet)
and 15 degrees above or below the projector level. If the projector does not respond to the remote
control, move a little closer.
Projector and Remote Control Buttons
The projector can be operated using the remote control or the buttons on the top of the projector. All
operations can be carried out with the remote control; however, the buttons on the projector are
limited in use. The following illustration shows the corresponding buttons on the remote control and
on the projector.
Remote Control
Some buttons on the projector have two functions. For example, item 6/11 on the projector functions
as both the volume down button and as the left cursor key in OSD menus.

XGA (1024 x 768), SXGA (1280 x 1024@up to 60Hz) and HD 1080p (1920 x 1080 @
50Hz/60Hz).
Computer 2 in (see Terminal Panel Features on page 8) is an analog signal; use a
DSUB-15 cable-to-5BNC connection.
Computer 1 in as shown below (see Terminal Panel Features on page 8) is an analog
signal that uses a standard RGB computer cable.

Cleaning the Filters
The projector uses three filters to keep the fans free of dust and other particles, and should be
cleaned every 500 hours of operation. In dusty environments, it is recommended to clean the filters
more frequently. If the filter is dirty or clogged, your projector may overheat. When the message
below is displayed, the filters must be cleaned.

Replacing the Lamps
When a lamp reaches the end of it’s usable life, the following message is displayed. Replace the lamp.
The projection lamps should be replaced when they burn out. They should only be replaced with a
certified replacement part, contact your local dealer if unsure.
Note:
1. Lamps are positioned differently. Take care not to force the lamps when replacing.
2. Installation of both lamp modules (Lamp 1 and Lamp 2) is required to operate the projector in dual
or single lamp mode. If only a single lamp module is installed, the projector's lamp will not turn on
and will appear as a lamp failure.
3. Lamps last approximately 2000-2100 hours (2500-2600 hours in Eco mode) and the End of lamp
life message is displayed during the lamps' final 100 hours of operational life. Please replace during
2000-2100 hour.
Important:
1. The lamp contains a certain amount of mercury and should be disposed of according to local
ordinance regulations.
2. Avoid touching the glass surface of the new lamp: doing so may shorten its operation life.
Caution:
Lamp Handling Precautions
This projector uses a high-pressure lamp which must be handled carefully and properly. Improper
handling may result in accidents, injury, or create a fire hazard.
Lamp life may differ from lamp to lamp and according to the environment of use. There is no
guarantee of the same life for each lamp. Some lamps may fail or terminate their life in a shorter
period of time than other similar lamps.
If the projector indicates that the lamp should be replaced, i.e., if LAMP 1 and/or LAMP 2 light up,
replace the lamp with a new one IMMEDIATELY after the projector has cooled down. (Follow
carefully the instructions in the Lamp Replacement section of this manual.) Continuous use of the
lamp with LAMP 1 and/or LAMP 2 lighted may increase the risk of lamp explosion.
A Lamp may explode as a result of vibration, shock or degradation as a result of hours of use as its
lifetime draws to an end. Risk of explosion may differ according to the environment or conditions in
which the projector and lamp are being used.
If a lamp explodes, the following safety precautions should be taken:
Disconnect the projector’s AC plug from the AC outlet immediately. Contact an authorized service
station for a checkup of the unit and replacement of the lamp. Additionally, check carefully to ensure
that there are no broken shards or pieces of glass around the projector or coming out from the
cooling air circulation holes. Any broken shards found should be cleaned up carefully. No one should
check the inside of the projector except those who are authorized trained technicians and who are
familiar with projector service. Inappropriate attempts to service the unit by anyone, especially those
who are not appropriately trained to do so, may result in an accident or injury caused by pieces of
broken glass.
