Remote Control (continued)

Operating The Remote Control

ATTENTION • Do not drop or otherwise expose the remote control to physical
impact.

• Do not get the remote control wet or place it on wet objects. Doing so may result in
malfunction.

• Remove the batteries from the remote control and store them in a safe place if you
won’t be using the remote control for an extended period.

• Replace the batteries whenever the remote control starts to malfunction.

• When strong lights, such as direct sunlight or light from an extremely close range
(such as from an inverter fluorescent lamp), hit the projector’s remote sensor, the
remote control may cause to function. Adjust the direction of the projector to keep light
from directly hitting the projector’s remote sensor.

• The remote control works with the projector’s remote
sensor.

• The range of the remote sensor is 3 meters with a 60­degree range (30 degrees to the left and right of the
remote sensor).

Also a remote signal reflected in the screen etc. may be
available. If it is difficult to send a remote signal to the
sensor directly, please try.

• Since the remote control uses infrared light to send
signals to the projector (Class1 LED), be sure to use the
remote control in an area free from obstacles that could
block the remote control’s output signal to the projector.

WARNING

The projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp. The lamp can break with a
loud bang, or burn out, if jolted or scratched, handled while hot, or worn over time.

Note that each lamp has a different lifetime, and some may burst or burn out soon after
you start using them. In addition, when the bulb bursts, it is possible for shards of
glass to fly into the lamp housing, and for gas containing mercury to escape from the
projector’s vent holes.

About disposal of a lamp • This product contains a mercury lamp; do not put in
trash. Dispose of in accord with environmental laws.

• If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), unplug
the power cord from the outlet, and make sure to request a replacement
lamp from your local dealer. Note that shards of glass could damage the
projector’s internals, or cause injury during handling, so please do not try
to clean the projector or replace the lamp yourself.

Disconnect the

plug from the

power outlet

• If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), ventilate
the room well, and make sure not to breathe the gas that comes out of
the projector vents, or get it in your eyes or mouth.

• Before replacing the lamp, make sure the power switch is off and the
power cable is not plugged in, then wait at least 45 minutes for the lamp
to cool sufficiently. Handling the lamp while hot can cause burns, as well
as damaging the lamp.

• Do not open the lamp cover while the projector is suspended from
above. This is dangerous, since if the lamp’s bulb has broken, the
shards will fall out when the cover is opened. In addition, working in high
places is dangerous, so ask your local dealer to have the lamp replaced
even if the bulb is not broken.

• Do not use the projector with the lamp cover removed. At the lamp
replacing, make sure that the screws are screwed in firmly. Loose
screws could result in damage or injury.

HIGH VOLTAGE HIGH TEMPERATURE HIGH PRESSURE

• Use only the lamp of the specified type DT00621

• If the lamp breaks soon after the first time it is used, it is possible that
there are electrical problems elsewhere besides the lamp. If this
happens, contact your local dealer or a service representative.

• Handle with care: jolting or scratching could cause the lamp bulb to
burst during use.

• If the indicators or a message prompts you to replace the lamp (see the
section “Related Messages” and “Regarding the indicator Lamps”),
replace the lamp as soon as possible. Using the lamp for long periods of
time, or past the replacement date, could cause it to burst. Do not use
old (used) lamps; this is a cause of breakage.
