Loading Batteries into the Remote Control

Load batteries into the remote control. If the remote control starts to function erratically, replace the batteries.
1 Open the back cover
Press the back cover slightly and slide it in the direction of the arrow.
2 Load the batteries
Insert the 2 (AAA) batteries supplied according to the 9, ( marks. To prevent short circuit, be sure to insert the (
(minus) end of the battery first.
Precautions for Using Batteries
If batteries are incorrectly used, they may crack or leak. This could cause fire, burn, malfunction, and staining or damag­ing of the surroundings.
Beware of the following:
Do not mix new and old batteries.
Do not mix different type of batteries as they are different in
characteristics.
Insert batteries according to the ª · marks on the battery case.
Be sure to insert the minus · end in first to prevent short circuit.
Do not put batteries into fire or recharge them.

Replacing the Lamp

Light-source Lamp and Lamp Usage Time

The light-source lamp has a service life. The life of lamps used for this unit is about 2000 hours.
The lamp life of 2000 hours is merely the average life span of lamps and we do not provide any guarantee for this figure. The
lamp life may not reach 2000 hours depending on the operating conditions. When the light-source lamp approaches the end of its service life, deterioration progresses rapidly. Get ready or replace with a new lamp (lamp unit) when the accumulated lamp usage time exceeds 1900 hours. Depending on the operating conditions, the lamp may have to be exchanged earlier. If the image is dark or color tone abnormal, replace the lamp as soon as possible. You can also check the accumulated hours of usage. Please refer to the “Lamp Time” item of the “Information” menu. (Pages 22,
25)
Please consult your authorized dealer when purchasing a new lamp unit.

About Lamp Replacement
If this unit is installed in a constricted place, attempting to replace the lamp in that place may cause injury. Move this unit
to a place large enough to perform the work.
Use only genuine replacement parts for the lamp unit. Otherwise, malfunction may occur. Also, never attempt to re-use an
old lamp unit. This may cause marked performance deterioration or lamp blowout, thus leading to Broken pieces of the lamp outside this unit may also cause injuries during lamp unit exchange.
Do not replace the lamp immediately after this unit has been used. The temperature of the lamp unit is still high and this
may cause a burn. Allow a cooling period of 1 hour or more before replacement.
Before replacing the lamp unit, pull out the power plug from the outlet while the [STAND BY] indicator is still on. Replacing
a lamp with the plug connected to the outlet may cause injuries or electric shocks.
