Precautions for Installation

CAUTIONS

1. Before instalation, do not conne ct the projector’s power cord.

2. Do not install the projector in the following places:

• Where there is water, humidity or dust.

• Where the projector may be subjected to oil, smoke or cigarette smoke.

• On a soft surface such as a carpet or cushion.

• Where the projector may be subjected to direct sunlight.

• Where temperature is high or humidity is low.

Allowable operation temperature range: 41°F to 95°F (+5°C to +35°C) Allowable relative humidity range: 20% to 80% (no condensation) Allowable storage temperature range: 14°F to 140°F (–10°C to +60°C)

■

When installing the projector, observe the following:

• Do not use the projector placed on its side. Avoid using the projector placed on its side. This could cause a malfunction.

• Use the projector within the specified angle. Do not use the projector inclined ±30° horizontally (left/right). This could cause color variation or shorten the lamp life.

• Do not block the exhaust vents. Do not use a cover which encloses the projector air-tight or blocks the exhaust vents. Allow sufficient space around the projector. When the projector is enclosed in a space of the following dimensions, use an air conditioner so the temperature inside becomes equal to the outside temperature.

Installing the Projector

Projection Distance and Screen Size

• The projector’s projection lens is a zoom lens of about 1.5 x. The screen size at the maximum enlargement is 1.5 times that of the minimum size.

• The projection distance that can be focused is 2.5 to 20 m. Install the projector within this range.

* Also, refer to the table of “Relationship between Projector Distances and Projector Screen Size” on page 19 as a referen ce.

Notes

• For detailed relationship between projection distances and projection screen sizes, refer to Appendix A. The relationships for both 4:3 and 16:9 ratios are listed there.

• When installing a screen, use a 4:3 aspect-ratio picture.

• (A 16 : 9 aspect-ratio picture is projected based on the width of the range in which a 4:3 aspect-ratio picture is projected.)

• The diagonal length of a 16:9 aspect-ratio screen is about 91.8% that of a 4:3 aspect-ratio screen. This value is only a guide

(reference).

• If sunlight or lamp light strikes the projection screen directly, the picture tends to become pale and dim. Use a curtain or other means to shield the light.

• Set the projector horizontally on a surface that is within the range of adjustable angles (up/down adjustment angle: +7° ; horizontal adjustment angle: ±1.5°).

• If the keystone is adjusted, the projected screen becomes smaller.

• When hanging from the ceiling, use a dedicated hanging fixture (not supplied).

Setting the Position Selecting Screw for Ceiling Mounting

When using the projector in an upside-down, ceiling-mounted position (inverted top-to-bottom and right-to-left), the “position selecting screw for ceiling mounting” must be turned to switch to ceiling mounting. This will correct variance in color images (shading), which otherwise would occur in ceiling mounting. To revert to normal desktop setting, turn the “position selecting screw for ceiling mounting” back to the initial position (factoryshipped).

When using the projector in an upside-down, ceiling-mounted position:

Turn the “position selecting screw for ceiling mounting” fully counterclockwise (until it is turning idly).

To again use the projector in a normal desktop setting:

Turn the “position selecting screw for ceiling mounting” fully clockwise (until it firmly tightens).

For normal desktop mounting:

Turn the screw clockwise.

For upside-down, ceiling-mounting:

Turn the screw counterclockwise.

•To ceiling-mount and adjust the projector, special expertise and technique are necessary. Be sure to ask your dealer or a specialist to perform this work.

Replacing the Light-Source Lamp

The light-source lamp has a service life of approximately 1000 hours.

When the light-source lamp approaches the end of its service life, degradation progresses rapidly. The LAMP indicator and the message on the screen warn you that replacement of the lamp is required, as follows:

Purchase a new light-source lamps (Part No. : BHL5001-SU) from the authorized dealer where you purchased the projector, or consult the Service Center.

CAUTIONS

• If the projector is set up in a constricted place which is unsuitable for work, and if you perform replacement work there, this could cause injury. Move the projector to a place large enough for work, and then replace the light-source lamp.

• Use a genuine product for the light-source lamp. If you use other than a genuine product, this could cause a malfunction. Also, never use an old light-source lamp. This could cause marked degradation in performance or explode, possibly causing the projector to malfunction or broken pieces to injure you.

• Do not replace the light-source lamp immediately after the projector has been used. The temperature of the light-source lamp is still high and could cause a burn. Allow a cooling period of one hour or more before performing replacement.

• Before starting light-source lamp replacement work, turn off the MAIN POWER switch, and disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet. If you perform the replacement work with the power cord connected, this could cause injury or electric shock.

• The light-source lamp used in this projector is a high pressure mercury lamp. Be careful when disposing of the light-source lamp. If anything is unclear, please consult your dealer.
