Setting up

Install the projector according to the environment and manner the projector will be used in.

Arrangement

Refer to table T-1 and ﬁgures F-1 and F-2 at the end of User's Manual (concise) to determine the screen size and projection distance.

The values shown in the table are calculated for a full size screen: 1280 x 800 a Screen size (diagonal)

• For the case of installation in special conditions such as on the wall or ceiling, the speciﬁed mounting accessories and service may be required. Before installing the projector, consult your dealer about your installation.

•

The screen position may shift after installation if the projector is mounted on locations such as the wall or ceiling, due to the ﬂexibility of the plastic projector body. If readjustment is necessary, consult with your dealer or service personnel.

• The projected image position and/or focus may change during warm-up (approx. 30 minutes after the lamp is turned on) or when the ambient conditions change. Readjust the image position and/or focus as necessary.

• Since the projector features an ultra short throw, be aware that it is required to select a screen carefully to have better performance.

- A soft screen such as a pull-down screen may cause serious distortion of a projected

image. A hard screen such as a board screen is recommended for use with this projector.

- A high-gain screen such as a bead screen that has narrow viewing angle is not suitable

for this projector. A low-gain screen (around 1.0) such as a matte screen that has wide viewing angle is recommended for use with this projector.

- A screen with a weave pattern may cause moiré on the projected image, which is not

a failure of the projector. A screen that has less moiré effects is recommended for use with this projector.

About the remote control signal

The remote control works with the projector’s remote sensor. This projector has a remote sensor on the front. The sensor senses the signal within the following range when the sensor is active:

60 degrees (30 degrees to the left and right of the sensor) within 3 meters about.

NOTE

If it is difﬁcult to send the signal to the sensor directly, attempt to make the signal reﬂect.

• The remote control uses infrared light to send signals to the projector (Class 1 LED), so be sure to use the remote control in an area free from obstacles that could block the remote control’s signal to the projector.

•

The remote control may not work correctly if strong light (such as direct sun light) or light from an extremely close range (such as from an inverter ﬂuorescent lamp) shines on the remote sensor of the projector. Adjust the position of projector avoiding those lights.

NOTE

• Do not place the projector near equipment that may emit electromagnetic waves or radio waves, such as a radio transmitter, TV, copier, or air-conditioner.

• Avoid excessively dusty places, or places that are subject to extremely high or low temperature or humidity.

• The pen makes use of infrared light to detect positions. Avoid using it at a place where the screen surface is directly exposed to sunlight. Also, note that the pen may not function properly if it is used near an equipment that emits infrared wavelengths (plasma display, motion sensor, or automatic lighting sensor, etc.).

• The pen detects positions using ultrasonic waves, and therefore may not function properly when used in an environment where resonance is likely to occur, such as at the corner of a room or beside a metallic shelf.

• Malfunction may occur when two or more projectors are used in the same room.

• The pen movement may be disrupted if the projector is used near an inverter ﬂuorescent light, or when the light of an inverter ﬂuorescent light falls directly on the screen.

• The PEN sensor may not work correctly if strong light (such as direct sunlight) or light from an extremely close range (such as from an inverter ﬂuorescent lamp) falls on the PEN sensor of the projector. Adjust the position of projector avoiding those lights.

• When dust accumulates on the two horns of the pen sensor, the pen may malfunction, or it may not function at all. When this occurs, check the horns of the pen sensor, and remove any dust accumulated on them using a vacuum cleaner.

• Install and use at a position where the screen size is between 60"-100" when digital zoom is at the maximum (100%).

(3) Connect the USB TYPE B port of the projector to the USB type A port of the

computer with a USB cable.

(4) Connect the power supply of the projector and computer.

NOTE

• When Interactive Function is in use, it is recommended that you make use of input signals from the COMPUTER IN1 and COMPUTER IN2 ports. Optimal performance cannot be achieved using input signals from the USB TYPE B and LAN ports.

• Noise through the USB cable may trigger a malfunction depending on the computer and projector you are using. When this occurs, check to ensure that the power cables of the computer and projector are grounded. Malfunction may occur if the cables are not grounded.

• The pen sensor may be blocked if the projector is placed directly on the ﬂoor. It is recommended the projector be mounted on the wall or ceiling. The Interactive Function does not work during rear projection.

CAUTION

►Be careful of the wired cables. Tripping over the cables may

result in injury or damage the projector or computer.

Presentation tools

Interactive Function (continued)

Preliminary preparation

To use the Interactive Function, a special pen is needed (6). Insert battery into the pen before using (

18).

Using the pen

To write or draw using the pen, press the tip of the pen against the screen surface and move the pen accordingly. Writing ends once the tip of the pen is moved away from the screen surface. Pay attention to the two points below when using the pen.

(1) When drawing using the pen, hold it perpendicularly to the screen as much as

possible, and draw objects by pressing the tip of the pen against the screen to apply writing pressure. When information is sent out correctly from the pen, a faint operating sound can be heard. Be aware that this is not a failure or malfunction.

(2) The tip of the pens comes with a mini built-in transmitter. Transmission of

drawing data from the pen may fail if you hold the pen at the transmission unit while writing or drawing. If the characters or objects that you have written or drawn on the screen cannot be loaded correctly on the computer, check whether the problem can be resolved by changing the way you hold the pen.

CAUTION

►Do not drop the pen or mishandle it.

• Do not expose the pen to water or other ﬂuids. If the pen is wet accidentally, wipe it dry immediately.

• If you do not intend to use the pen for a long time, remove the battery.

• When using the pen, do not hold it at the black line or any area beyond it. Otherwise, the pen may not function properly.

NOTE

• The projector detects the pen coordinates by reading infrared and ultrasound signals emitted by the pen. Therefore, input may fail if transmission between the pen and the projector is blocked. Make sure that signal transmission is not obstructed.

Note that each lamp has a different lifetime, and some may burst or burn out soon after you start using them. Preparation of a new lamp and early replacement are recommended. To prepare a new lamp, make contact with your dealer and tell the lamp type number.

Type number : DT01181

Replacing the lamp

Turn the projector off, and unplug the power cord.

Allow the projector to cool for at least 45 minutes. Prepare a new lamp. If the projector is mounted on

a ceiling, or if the lamp has broken, also ask the dealer to replace the lamp.

In case of replacement by yourself, follow the following procedure.

Loosen the screw (marked by arrow) of the lamp

cover and then slide and lift the lamp cover to the side to remove it.

Loosen the 2 screws (marked by arrow) of the lamp,

and slowly pick up the lamp by the handle. Never loosen any other screws.

Insert the new lamp, and retighten ﬁrmly the 2

screws of the lamp that are loosened in the previous process to lock it in place.

While putting the interlocking parts of the lamp cover

and the projector together, slide the lamp cover back in place. Then ﬁrmly fasten the screw of the lamp cover.

WARNING

The projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp. The lamp

HIGH TEMPERATURE

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, if the bulb bursts, it is possible for shards of glass to ﬂy into the lamp housing, and for gas containing mercury and dust containing ﬁne particles of glass 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, consult 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 projector’s internals, or cause injury during handling, so please do not try to clean the projector or replace the lamp yourself.

•

Disconnect

the plug from the

power outlet

If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), ventilate the room well, and make sure not to inhale the gas or ﬁne particles that come out from the projector's vent holes, and not to get them into 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 mounted on a wall or 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. At the lamp replacing, make sure that the screws are screwed in firmly. Loose screws could result in damage or injury.

• Use only the lamp of the specified type. Use of a lamp that does not meet the lamp speciﬁcations for this model could cause a ﬁre, damage or shorten the life of this product.

• 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, consult 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.
