• 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.

• 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, turn the projector off and unplug the power 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.

RS-232C Communication (continued)

Requesting projector status (Get command)

(1) Send the request code Header + Command data (‘02H’+‘00H’+ type (2 bytes)+

‘00H’ +‘00H’) from the computer to the projector.

(2) The projector returns the response code ‘1DH’+ data (2 bytes) to the computer.

Changing the projector settings (Set command)

(1) Send the setting code Header + Command data (‘01H’+‘00H’+ type (2 bytes) +

setting code (2 bytes)) from the computer to the projector. (2) The projector changes the setting based on the above setting code. (3) The projector returns the response code ‘06H’ to the computer.

Using the projector default settings (Reset Command)

(1) The computer sends the default setting code Header + Command data (‘06H’+

‘00H’ + type (2 bytes) +‘00H’+‘00H’) to the projector. (2) The projector changes the speciﬁed setting to the default value. (3) The projector returns the response code ‘06H’ to the computer.

Increasing the projector setting value (Increment command)

(1) The computer sends the increment code Header + Command data (‘04H’+

‘00H’+ type (2 bytes) +‘00H’+‘00H’) to the projector. (2) The projector in creases the setting value on the above setting code. (3) The projector returns the response code ‘06H’ to the computer.

Decreasing the projector setting value (Decrement command)

(1) The computer sends the decrement code Header + Command data (‘05H’+

‘00H’+ type (2 bytes) +‘00H’ + ‘00H’) to the projector. (2) The projector decreases the setting value on the above setting code. (3) The projector returns the response code ‘06H’ to the computer.

When the projector cannot understand the received command

When the projector cannot understand the received command, the error code ‘15H’ is sent back to the computer. Sometimes the projector cannot properly receive the command. In such a case, the command is not executed and the error code ‘15H’ is sent back to the computer. If this error code is returned, send the same command again.

When the projector cannot execute the received command.

When the projector cannot execute the received command, the error code ‘1cH’ + ‘xxxxH’ is sent back to the computer. When the data length is greater than indicated by the data length code, the projector ignore the excess data code. Conversely when the data length is shorter than indicated by the data length code, an error code will be returned to the computer.

NOTE • Operation cannot be guaranteed when the projector receives an undeﬁned

command or data.

• Provide an interval of at least 40ms between the response code and any other code.

• The projector outputs test data when the power supply is switched ON, and when the lamp is lit. Ignore this data.

• Commands are not accepted during warm-up.
