Precautions for using batteries

If batteries are used incorrectly, they may crack or leak liquid. This could cause a fire, burn, malfunction, or staining or damaging of the surroundings.

Beware of the following:

• Do not mix new and old batteries.

• Do not mix different types of batteries as they differ in

characteristics.

• Place batteries so they match the polarities indicated: (+) to (+) and (–) to (–).

• Be sure to put the minus (–) end in first to avoid short-circuiting.

• Use only designated batteries.

• Remove the batteries if the remote is not to be used for a

prolonged period.

• When the batteries are exhausted, replace them immediately. Otherwise, liquid could leak, or malfunction could occur due to leaking liquid. If the leaked liquid contacts the skin, wipe it off with a cloth, otherwise the skin could become rough.

• Do not put batteries into a fire or try to recharge them.

• Batteries run for six months to one year in normal use.

However, the batteries supplied are for confirming operation and may not run that long. When the remote control starts failing to work properly, replace the batteries with new ones.

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).

Installing the Projector

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.

CAUTIONS

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

•To turn the “position selecting screw for ceiling mounting”, use a Philips screwdriver with a 30-mm or longer shank.

Be sure that the computer has the video signal output port by reading the instruction book of the computer. The video signal output port is generally called as “RGB port”, “monitor port”, or “video port”. If the computer-monitor hybrid type or note type is used, it may need to prepare for an external output port. Also, there will be the type to which an external output port cannot be installed.

• The resolution and the scanning frequencies are within the range specified in the table on page23.

Be sure that the resolution and the scanning frequencies of the video signal are within the range. A video signal out of range cannot be used. (Even signals out of the range could be projected. However, it may not sharp enough. On the other hand, even some of the signals within the range may require adjustment depending on the video board used.) When a signal other than listed in the table on page 23 is input, the image could be partially erased or an unneeded fold-over image could appear. Even signals in the frequency range that can be input may not be displayed normally depending on the type of the signal. Composite sync (C

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:

Accumulated used hours of the light-source l amp

900 hours

1000 hours

1010 hours

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 malfu nction. 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.

• The LAMP indicator lights up on the projector.

• On the screen, “Lamp replacement” appears in red.

To cancel this message, press the EXIT button.

• Arrange for a new light-source lamp or replace the lightsource lamp a little earlier.

* Every time the projector is turned on, the message appears.

• The LAMP indicator blinks on the projector.

• On the screen, “Warning Lamp replacement” appears in red

and the word “Warning” blinks. Replace the light-source lamp. To cancel this message, press the EXIT button. However, the same message will appear every one hour.

* Only OPERATE button to stop the projector and the EXIT

button are operative.
