Usage Guidelines
•
Do not look directly into the projection lens when the lamp is
turned on. The bright light may harm your eyes.
•
Do not block the grills on the projector. Restricting the air flow
can cause it to overheat and turn off. If this happens, you must
wait a minute before attempting to turn it back on.
•
Handle the projector as you would any product with glass
components. Be especially careful not to drop it.
•
Avoid leaving the projector in direct sunlight or extreme cold
for extended periods of time. If this happens, allow it to reach
room temperature before use.
•
Transport the projector in a vendor-approved hard or soft case.
Part numbers for these cases are listed on page 50.

SETTING UP THE PROJECTOR
Place the projector on a flat surface.
1
•
The projector must be within 10 feet (3 m) of your power
source and within 6 feet (1.8 m) of your computer.
•
If you want to project from behind a translucent screen, set
up the projector behind your screen. See “Rear Projection”
on page 36 to reverse the image.
•
If you are installing the projector on the ceiling, refer to the
installation guide that comes with the Ceiling Mount Kit for
more information. To turn the image upside down, see
“Ceiling Projection” on page 36. The Ceiling Mount Kit is
sold separately; see “Optional Accessories” on page 50.
Position the projector the desired distance from the screen.
2
•
The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen and
the zoom lens setting determine the size of the projected
image. Table 1 shows example projected image sizes and
minimum and maximum distances to the screen.
The formulas for distance to the screen are:
Max distance (ft) = diagonal image size (ft) ÷.49
Min distance (ft) = diagonal image size (ft) ÷.69

USING THE PROJECTOR
This section describes how to use and make adjustments to the
projector. It also provides a reference to the keypad and remote
buttons and the options available from the on-screen menus.
Basic Image Adjustment
Make sure you have powered up your equipment in the right
1
order (page 16).
If the image doesn’t display completely, zoom the image
2
(page 20), adjust the height of the projector (page 20) or center
the image by adjusting its horizontal or vertical position
(page 34). Be sure the projector is at a 90 degree angle to the
screen.
If the image is out of focus, rotate the focus lens (page 20).
3
If the image appears to shimmer or if it has blurry vertical
4
bars after you have adjusted the focus, turn Auto Image
(page 32) off and then back on to reset the automatic sync and
tracking. If that doesn’t clear up the image, turn Auto Image
off and adjust the sync (page 33) and/or the tracking
(page 33) manually.
If the colors don’t look right, adjust the brightness (page 28).

computer cable to the computer (see page 12) or a type B USB
mouse cable to your computer and the projector (see page 11).
This feature is not supported on the Macintosh platform.
Point the remote control at the projection screen or at the top of
the projector. The range for optimum operation is about 25 feet. If
you point the remote at the projection screen, the distance to the
screen and back to the projector must be less than or equal to 25
feet. For best results, point the remote directly at the front or the
rear of the projector.
The projector ships with a full-feature remote (see page 24 for a
description of the buttons) which includes a laser pointer. The
remote has a disk mouse and two mouse buttons, one on the top
of the remote and one on the bottom (Figure 19).

Video Standard
When Video standard is set to Auto, the projector attempts to
pick the video standard (NTSC, NTSC 4.43, PAL, PAL-M, PALN,PAL-60, or SECAM) automatically based on the input signal it
receives. (The video standard options may vary depending on
your region of the world.) The input signal for SECAM video is
similar to other video signals and cannot be automatically
detected, therefore SECAM must be chosen manually. If the projector is unable to detect the correct standard, the colors might
not look right or the image might appear “torn.” If this happens,
manually select a standard by clicking the left or right mouse button and cycling through the standards.
NOTE: If you already know the

Turn the remote face down in your hand.
1
Slide the battery cover off the end of the remote.
2
Remove the old batteries and dispose of them in an environ-
3
mentally proper manner.
Install two new AA alkaline batteries. Make sure you install
4
each in the correct direction.

Troubleshooting
Problem: Nothing on projection screen
•
Make sure that the power cord is properly connected to a fully
functional AC electrical outlet. Make sure that the power cord
is also properly connected to the projector.
•
If the projector is plugged into a power strip, make sure the
power strip is turned on.
•
Make sure you have removed the lens cap on the projection
lens at the front of the projector.
•
Make sure the lamp is switched on.
•
Check the projector’s lamp to ensure that it is securely con-
nected in the lamp module. See “Replacing the Projection
Lamp” on page 41.
•
Make sure that the cables do not have any bent pins.
Problem: Color or text not being projected
•
You might need to adjust the brightness up or down until the
text is visible. Refer to “Brightness” on page 28 for more information.
Problem: The screen resolution is not right
•
Make sure the computer’s video card is set for a resolution of
no greater than 1280x1024.
Problem: Image isn’t centered on the screen
•
Move the projector to reposition the image.
•
Reposition the image using the software. Refer to “Horizontal
position” on page 34 and “Vertical position” on page 34.
•
Be sure the projector is at a 90 degree angle to the screen.
Problem: Only the start-up screen displays
•
Verify that the cables are connected correctly. See page 12
through page 14 for connection procedures.
•
Verify that the proper input source is connected and active. See
“Source (keypad only) or Comp and Video (remote only)” on
page 26.
45
Maintenance & Troubleshooting
•
You might need to turn everything off and power up the
equipment again in the proper order. Refer to your computer’s documentation to determine the correct order.
•
Make sure your laptop’s external video port is turned on. See
the “Portable and Laptop Activation Chart” on page 52 or
your computer’s manual for details.
•
Make sure your computer’s video board is installed and con-
figured correctly.
•
Make sure your computer has a compatible video board. The
projector isn’t CGA, EGA or SXGA compatible.
If you’re using Windows 98:
Open “My Computer” icon, the Control Panel folder and
1
then the Display icon.
Click the Settings tab.
2
Verify that the Desktop area is set to 1280x1024 or less.
3
Problem: Image is too wide or narrow for screen
•
Adjust the zoom or projector placement.
•

•
Make sure the projection screen is at least 3.3 feet (1 m) from
the projector.
•
Check the projection lens to see if it needs cleaning.
Problem: Image and menus are reversed left to right
•
Rear projection mode is probably turned on. Turn Rear Projec-
tion off in the Controls menu. The image should immediately
return to forward projection. See “Rear Projection” on
page 36.

Many laptop computers do not automatically turn on their external video port when a projector is connected. Activation commands for some laptop computers are listed in the following
table. (If your computer is not listed or the given command does
not work, refer to the computer’s documentation for the appropriate command.) On many laptops, the activation function key
is labeled with an icon, for example or the text CRT/LCD.

Using Video Mirroring with a PowerBook Computer
When you turn video mirroring (called SimulScan in newer PowerBooks—see below) on, the projector displays the same information that appears on your PowerBook’s built-in screen. When
video mirroring is off, the projector acts like a separate display.
To turn on video mirroring for the first time:
Open the Monitors control panel; click on Monitor 2.
1
Set the number of colors you want.
2
Open the Control Strip, then click on the monitor icon.
3
Select “Turn Video Mirroring On.”
4
Now you can turn video mirroring on and off from the Control
Strip without having to open the Monitors control panel again.
When using video mirroring and high color graphics such as
slide shows, the projected image occasionally might turn black
and white. If this happens, perform the following steps:
Turn off video mirroring.
1
Open the Monitors control panel.
2
Move the white menu bar to Monitor 2 to set the projector as
3
the primary monitor.
Restart the PowerBook.
4
Using SimulScan
Some newer PowerBooks display images on an external monitor
or projector differently than previous ones. When using
SimulScan, the projector displays the same information that
appears on your PowerBook
To select SimulScan:
Open the Control Panel, then double-click Monitors and
1
Sound.
In the Resolution list, choose the SimulScan mode, then click
2
OK.
If this changes your display settings, a dialog box appears.
3
Click OK to confirm the change.

request (indicated by a “?”) or a write request (indicated by 1 to 4
ASCII digits).
A read request format: (AAA?) where
(starts the command

Appendix
NOTE: To assure the projector
can process a command, wait 3
seconds before entering the next
command.
A read command returns the range and the current setting, for
example:
FunctionCommandResponse
Brightness (BRT?) (0-22, 10)
Volume (VOL?)(0-80, 0)
Lamp hours(LMP?)(0-9999, 421)
A write request example: (AAA####) where
(starts the command
AAAdenotes the command
####denotes the value to be written
(leading zeros not necessary)
)ends the command
Some commands have ranges, while others are absolute. If a
number greater than the maximum range is received, it is automatically set to the maximum number for that function. If a command is received that is not understood, a “?” is returned. With
absolute settings, “0” is off, 1-2147483647 is on. The one exception
is the Power command, where 0 is off and 1 is on.
