Adjusting the projector's elevator

CAUTION ►If you press the elevator button without holding the projector,

the projector might crash down, overturn, smash your ﬁngers and possibly result in malfunction. To prevent damaging the projector and injuring yourself, always hold the projector whenever using the elevator buttons to adjust the elevator feet. ►Do not incline the projector rightward or leftward. Also do not incline it backward or forward exceeding 9 degrees. Exceeding these range could cause malfunction, and could shorten the lifetime of the consumables. ►Except for inclining by the elevator feet adjustment, place the projector horizontally.

You can use the elevator feet to make adjustments if the surface on which you need to set the projector is uneven or if you otherwise need to adjust the angle of projection. The adjustment range of the elevator feet is 0 to 9 degrees.

Elevator feet

After making sure that the projector is cool adequately, press and hold in the

elevator buttons while holding the projector.

Setting up

Connecting your devices

CAUTION ►Turn off all devices prior to connecting them to the projector.

Attempting to connect a live device to the projector may generate extremely loud noises or other abnormalities that may result in malfunction and/or damage to the device and/or projector. ►Use the accessory cable or a designated-type cable for the connection. Some cables have to be used with core set. A too long cable may cause a certain picture degradation. Please consult with your dealer for details. For cables that have a core only at one end, connect the core to the projector. ►Make sure that you connect devices to the correct port. Incorrect connection may result in malfunction and/or damage to the device and/or projector.

NOTE • Whenever attempting to connect a laptop computer to the projector, be sure to activate the laptop’s RGB external image output (set the laptop to CRT display or to simultaneous LCD and CRT display). For details on how this is done, please refer instruction manual of the corresponding laptop computer.

• Secure the screws on the connectors and tighten.

• Some computers may have multiple display screen modes. Use of some of these modes will not be possible with this projector.

• For some RGB signal modes, the optional Mac adapter is necessary.

• When the image resolution is changed on a computer, depending on an input, automatic adjustment function may take some time and may not be completed. In this case, you may not be able to see a check box to select “Yes/No” for the new resolution on Windows. Then the resolution will go back to the original. It might be recommended to use other CRT or LCD monitors to change the resolution.

Remote control

Using the remote control

CAUTION ►Be careful in handling the remote control.

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

• Do not get the remote control wet or place it on wet objects. It 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 malfunctioning.

• 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 the light from directly hitting the projector’s remote sensor.

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

30º

approx. 3 meters

• The range of the remote sensor is 3 meters with a 60 degree 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 to use the reﬂected signal.

• 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

HIGH VOLTAGE

HIGH TEMPERATURE

HIGH PRESSURE

►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 it in a trash. Dispose of it in accordance with environmental laws. For lamp recycling, go to www.lamprecycle.org. (in the US) For product disposal, contact your local government agency or www.eiae.org (in the US) or www.epsc.ca (in Canada). For more information, call your dealer.

• 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 inside of the projector, or cause injury during handling, so please do not try to clean the projector or replace the lamp yourself.

cord, 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.

• Never unscrew except the appointed (marked by an arrow) screws.

• Do not open the lamp cover while the projector is suspended from the ceiling. 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. To replace the lamp, make sure that the screws are tightened firmly. Loose screws could result in damage or injury.

• Use only the lamp of the speciﬁed type.

• 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.

• Using the lamp for long periods of time, could cause it dark, not to light up or to burst. When the pictures appear dark, or when the color tone is poor, please replace the lamp as soon as possible. Do not use old (used) lamps; this is a cause of breakage.
