Installing the Projector

Projection Distance and Screen Size

• The range of projection distances that can be focused depends on the lens unit (optional) to be used. When the aspect ratio of the screen is 4:3, the range is as follows and you need to install the projector within this range.

Lens type GL-M2910G 0.77 m to 4.03 m GL-M2915SG 1.76 m to 4.50 m GL-M2920ZG 2.77 m to 19.71 m GL-M2930SZG 4.74 m to 29.87 m *: The value for projection distance is a guide (reference) one. The projected image size may vary depending on the

manufacturing tolerance of the projection lens.

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).

■ Optional Lenses

This projector does not include a lens. You can select one of the optional lenses to adjust the projection distance. Please ask your authorized dealer or service center to install the lens.

Power cord (supplied)

power input terminal of the projector.

Insert the main plug of the supplied

power cord into a suitable wall outlet.

CAUTIONS

To prevent fire and electric shock, observe the following:

• When you do not use devices, pull out their power cords from wall outlets.

• Do not connect the devices with power cords other than those supplied.

• Do not use mains voltage other than the power voltage indicated.

• Do not scar, damage, or work on the power cords. Also, do not put a heavy object on, heat, or stretch the power cords, otherwise they may be damaged.

• Do not insert or pull out the plugs with a wet hand.

Removing the Lens Cap

Remove the lens cap before using the projector.

Notes

• The lens cap is supplied with the lens unit (optional). It should be attached to the lens when the projector is not used.

• Do not operate the projector with the lens cap attached. Doing so can deform the lens cap because of the heat. A metallic lens cap can get hot and cause injury.

CAUTIONS

• Do not turn on the projector without installing the lens unit (optional). Doing so can cause the lens-hole blind cover (black one) initially installed to be deformed by heart from the light-source lamp.

• Since the power requirement of the projector is high, insert the power plug directly into a wall outlet.

• Use the supplied power cord with the ferrite core only.

• Do not remove the ferrite core from the supplied power cord; Otherwise, there may be a possibility that a harmful interference occurs.

Warning

Lamp replacement

ESCAPE

Purchase a new light-source lamps (Part No. : BHL5003-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.
