•

It may not be possible to control notebook PCs, and other computers with built-in pointing devices (e.g.
track balls), using this remote control. In this case, before connecting go into BIOS (system setup) and
select external mouse, and disable the pointing devices. In addition, the mouse may not function if the
computer does not have the needed utility program. See your computer’s hardware manual for details.

•

The USB control can be used with Windows 95 OSR 2.1 or higher. It may not be possible to
use the remote control, depending on the computer’s configurations and mouse drivers.

•

The USB control can only be used for the functions listed above. You cannot do things like press two buttons
at once (for instance, pressing two buttons at the same time to move the mouse pointer diagonally).

•

This function is not available while the lamp is warming up (the POWER indicator flashes green), while adjusting the volume and

THE LAMP

HIGH VOLTAGE
HIGH TEMPERATURE
HIGH PRESSURE

Before replacing the lamp, check the serial number of the replacement lamp bulb (sold separately:
DT00511 for ED-S3170A/DT00521 for ED-X3270A), then contact your local dealer. Before replacing
the lamp, turn off the power, and unplug the power cord, then wait at least 45 minutes, in order to
ensure that the lamp is properly cooled. Removing the lamp bulb while it is still hot could cause
burns, or cause the lamp bulb to burst.

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

ENGLISH

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.

•

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

•

If the replace lamp indicator (see "Related Messages" (Vol.2 ) and "Regarding the
indicator Lamps" (Vol.2 )) comes on, replace the lamp as soon as possible. Using the

8

7

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.

•

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.

25

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, or a message prompts you to replace the lamp when you power up
the projector, the lamp needs to be replaced. (See "Related Messages" (Vol.2 ) and "Regarding the
Indicator Lamps" (Vol.2 ) for details.)

Turn off the projector, and unplug the

power cord. Allow the lamp bulb to cool
for at least 45 minutes, and prepare a

•

Do not reset the lamp timer without replacing the lamp. Reset the lamp timer always when replacing
the lamp. The message functions will not operate properly if the lamp timer is not reset correctly.

• When the lamp has been replaced after the message of "CHANGE THE LAMP ...THE POWER
WILL TURN OFF AFTER 0 hr." is displayed, or the LAMP indicator is red, complete the following
operation within 10 minutes of switching power ON.

NOTE

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.

Make sure that the screws are screwed in firmly. Loose screws could result in damage or injury.

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

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.)

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

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

• 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.

28

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.

NOTES

Note 1: Although this message will be automatically disappeared after around 3 minutes, it will be

reappeared every time the power is turned ON.

Note 2: Lamps have a finite product life. Lamps are characterized by the fact that, after long hours of

usage, a lamp will no longer light up, or the lamp will break or burst, etc. This unit is equipped
with an automatic shut-down function, such that the power will automatically be turned OFF
when lamp usage time has reached 2,000 hours. Please be aware, however, that among lamp
types, there are major differences in product lifetimes; a lamp may thus fail to light even prior
to the functioning of the automatic shut-down function of this unit.
