Close the back cover.

First fit the claws on the back cover in the case, then close the back cover in the direction of the arrow.

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.

Precautions for Installation

CAUTIONS

1. Before instalation, do not connect 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.

Trapezoidal-distortion correctable maximum angle

■

The projector has a function to correct the trapezoidal distortion of the projected image on the screen. To correct this distortion, use the KEYSTONE buttons on the projector. (Refer to “Removing the Trapezoidal Distortion of the Image” on page 34.) Also, correction is possible by using the “Keystone” menu. (Refer to “Setting and Adjusting Other Functions (OPTIONS)” on page 53.)

Correctable angle:

Up to approx. 20° upward from the horizontal l ine

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.

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).

Effective Range and Distance of the Remote Control Unit

The remote control unit can be used as either a wireless remote control unit or a wired one.

■

Using as a wireless remote control unit

Aim the remote control unit toward the remote sensor on the front or the rear of the projector. The operable distance of the remote control unit is about 10 m for direct reception. The remote control unit can be used by having it reflected on the screen. In this case, the total distance of “A+B” should be about 10 m or less. The operable angles of the remote control unit are 15° right and left, and 15° up and down.
