About the ﬁlter cover for bottom-up use

WARNING ►Do not replace the ﬁlter cover during use or immediately

after use. While the projector connects with a power supply, or the projector is in a high temperature state, handling could cause an electric shock, a ﬁre, a burn and/or malfunction to the projector.Before handling, make sure the power switch is off and the power cord is not plugged in, then wait at least 45 minutes.

When the projector is installed bottom up, please use the accessory ﬁlter cover for bottom-up use. It is higher than usual ﬁlter cover, to keep the space for intake ventilation. Please change in the following procedure.

After making sure that the projector is cool adequately, slowly turn the projector so that the lens-side is facing up. Please be careful for a projector

not to fall. While the projector is placed lens-side up, hold the projector.

Putting a ﬁnger on the ﬁlter cover’s knob, slide the ﬁlter cover in the direction of the arrow to remove it.

Replace the ﬁlter cover for bottom-up use and snap it back into place.

Slowly turn the projector so that the top is facing 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

to the

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 adjust 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.

About Plug-and-Play capability

Plug-and-Play is a system composed of the computer, its operating system and peripheral equipment (i.e. display devices). This projector is compatible with VESA DDC 2B. Plug-and-Play can be achieved by connecting this projector to computers that are VESA DDC (display data channel) compatible.

• Please take advantage of this function by connecting the accessory RGB cable to the RGB IN1 port (DDC 2B compatible). Plug-and-Play may not work properly if any other type of connection is attempted.

• Please use the standard drivers in your computer as this projector is a Plug-and-Play monitor.

Putting batteries

WARNING ►Always handle the batteries with care and use them only as

directed. Improper use may result in battery explosion, cracking or leakage, which could result in ﬁre, injury and/or pollution of the surrounding environment.

• Be sure to use only the batteries speciﬁed. Do not use batteries of different types at the same time. Do not mix a new battery with used one.

• Make sure the plus and minus terminals are correctly aligned when loading a battery.

• Keep a battery away from children and pets.

• Do not recharge, short circuit, solder or disassemble a battery.

• Do not allow a battery in a ﬁre or water. Keep batteries in a dark, cool and dry play.

• If you observe a leakage of a battery, wipe out the ﬂower and then replace a battery. If the ﬂower adheres your body or clothes, rinse well with water immediately.

Remove the battery cover. Slide back and remove the battery cover in the direction of the arrow.

nsert the batteries. Align and insert the two AA batteries according to their plus and minus terminals as indicated in the remote control.

ENGLISH

Remote control

Using the remote control

CAUTION ►Be careful in handling the remote control.

• 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 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.

• 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.
