USING THE REMOTE CONTROL

Putting batteries into the remote control unit

CAUTION

Always handle the batteries with care and use them only as directed. Improper use may result in

battery cracking or leakage, which could result in fire, injury and/or pollution of the surrounding environment.

• Keep the battery away from children and pets.

•

Be sure to use only the batteries specified for use with the remote control. Do not mix new batteries with used ones.

•

When inserting batteries, verify that the plus and minus terminals are aligned correctly (as indicated in the remote control).

• When you dispose the battery, you should obey the law in the relative area or country.

Remove the battery cover

1

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

Insert the batteries

2

Align and insert the two AA batteries (that came with the
projector) according to their plus and minus terminals (as
indicated in the remote control).

Close the battery cover

3

Replace the battery cover in the direction of the arrow and
snap it back into place.

Precautions to observe in regards to the batteries

13

USING THE REMOTE CONTROL (continued)

Operating the remote control

WARNING • The laser pointer of the remote control transmitter is used in
place of a finger or rod. Never look directly into the laser beam outlet or point

the laser beam at other people. The laser beam can cause vision problems.

CAUTION
other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

This remote control has the switch to disable the laser function. Refer to "The Remote Control".

•

The remote control works with both the
projector's front and rear remote sensors.

•

The range of the remote sensor on the front is 3
meters with a 60-degree range (30 degrees to the
left and right of the remote sensor), and back is 3
meters with a 40-degree range.

•

Since the remote control uses infrared light to send
signals to the projector (Class 1 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.

•

The wired remote control:
You can use the remote control as a wired remote control, by connecting the REMOTE CONTROL ports of the
main unit and remote control via an audio cable (3.5 dia. stereo mini cable with plugs).

ATTENTION

Precautions to observe when using the remote control

• Do not disassemble 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.

• Do not place the remote control near the projector’s lens, fan, or vents.

• 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 light, such as direct sunlight or light from an extremely close range (such as from an
inverter fluorescent lamp), hits the projector's remote sensor, the remote control may cease to function.
Adjust the direction of the projector to keep light from directly hitting the projector's remote sensor.

THE LAMP

HIGH VOLTAGE
HIGH TEMPERATURE
HIGH PRESSURE

To replace the lamp, check the model number of the replacement lamp (sold separately) and
contact your local dealer.
Replacement lamp model number: DT00571
If the projector is mounted on the ceiling, or if the lamp has broken, ask your dealer to replace the
lamp. Lamp replacement is hazardous and should not be attempted by the user.
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.

WARNING

The LCD projector uses a glass lamp bulb. It is a mercury lamp with high

internal pressure. High-pressure mercury lamps can break with a loud
bang, or burn out, if jolted or scratched, or through wear over time. 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.

•

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.

•

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

•

If the replace lamp indicator (see "Regarding the indicator Lamps" (Vol.2 )) comes on,

9

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.

•

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.

•

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.

•

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.

•

Obey local ordinances when disposing of used lamps. In most cases, it is possible to dispose of used
bulbs in the same manner as used glass bottles, but in some cases, bulbs are sorted separately.

• Do not use the projector with the lamp cover removed.

27

THE LAMP (continued)

Replacing the lamp

All projector lamps will wear out eventually. If used for long periods of time, the image could become
darkened, and the color contrast could be impacted as well. We recommend that you replace your lamps
early. If the LAMP indicator turns red, the lamp needs to be replaced. (See "Regarding the Indicator
Lamps" (Vol.2 ) for details.)

9

Turn off the projector, and unplug the

1

power cord. Allow the lamp bulb to cool
for at least 45 minutes, and prepare a
new lamp (serial number: DT00571)

After making sure that the projector has

2

cooled adequately, slide the knob of a
lamp cover lock as shown in the figure.
Then, one side of the lamp cover is
raised. Pull up the lamp cover and
remove it, as shown in the figure

• The LAMP indicator is also red when the lamp unit reaches high temperature.

Before replacing the lamp, switch power off, wait approximately 20 minutes, and switch power on
again. If the LAMP indicator is still red, replace the lamp.

THE AIR FILTER

Caring for the air filter

The air filter should be cleaned about every 100 hours. If the LAMP indicator and
TEMP indicator blink red simultaneously, or a message prompts you to clean the air
filter when you turn on the unit, the filter needs to be cleaned. (See "Related
Messages" (Vol.2 ) and "Regarding the Indicator Lamps" (Vol.2 ) for details.)

• Do not use with air filter cover removed.

• If the air filter becomes clogged by dust or the like, internal temperature rises and could cause

malfunction. The power is automatically turned off in order to prevent the unit from overheating
internally.

30

OTHER CARE

Caring for the inside of the projector :

In order to ensure the safe use of your projector, please have it cleaned and inspected by
your local dealer about once every 2 years. Never try to care for the inside of the unit
yourself. Doing so is dangerous.

Caring for the lens :

Lightly wipe the lens with a commercially available lens-cleaning wipe. Do not touch the
lens directly with your hand.

Caring for the cabinet and remote control transmitter :

Wipe lightly with gauze or a soft cloth. If soiling is severe, dip a soft cloth in water or a
neutral cleanser diluted in water, and wipe lightly after wringing well. Then, wipe lightly
with a soft, dry cloth.

ATTENTION • Make sure to turn off the power and unplug the power cord before caring for

the unit. Please carefully read "Safety Instructions" in this manual, in order to care for your projector
correctly.

• Do not use cleaners or chemicals other than those listed above, including benzene and paint
thinner.

• Do not use aerosols or sprays.

• Do not polish or wipe with hard objects.
