– This product should be operated only with the type of

power source indicated on the label. If you are not sure
of the type of power supply to your home, consult your
product dealer or local power company.

– This product is equipped with a three-wire plug. This

plug will fit only into a grounded power outlet. If you are
unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your
electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the grounded plug.

– Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not

likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or
against them. Pay particular attention to cords at doors,
plugs, receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
product.

– For added protection of this product during a lightning

storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long
periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the cable system. This will prevent damage
to the product due to lightning and power line surges.

– Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or

convenience receptacles on other equipment as this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

– Never push objects of any kind into this product through

openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or
short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

– Do not attempt to service this product yourself as

opening or removing covers may expose you to
dangerous voltages and other hazards. Refer all service
to qualified service personnel.

– Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer service

to qualified service personnel under the following
conditions:

a) When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.
b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen on the

product.
c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
d) If the product does not operate normally by following

the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls

Air inlet (filter)

Air is taken in through the filter to cool the light-source
lamp. If the filter is blocked or if something that obstructs
the flow of air is placed around the projector, heat may
build up inside and could cause a fire. For required
space, refer to “Precautions for Installation” on page 15.

CAUTION

• Be careful as paper, cloth or soft cushion could be drawn in
if placed nearby. Do not block the filter, or heat may build
up and could cause a fire.

• Clean the filter periodically. For details, refer to “Cleaning
and Replacing the Filter Cover” on page 60. Deposition of
dirt on the filter reduces the cooling effect, causing heat to
build up inside, which could cause a fire or malfunction.

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

Approximate projection distance
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 imag e 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-rati o 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.

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.

■

Using as a wired remote control unit

Connect the supplied remote cable between the wired terminal of the remote control unit and the REMOTE terminal on the
rear of the projector.
Using it as a wired remote control, you do not have to worry about the operative angle of the unit, though the operative
distance is limited by the length of the remote cable (approx. 9.84 ft (approx. 3 m.))

Note

• When the remote control unit is used as a wired unit, its signal transmitter and the projector’s remote sensor do not work.

CAUTION

• Do not extend the remote cable. Doing so could cause a malfunction of 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.

•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.

•To turn the “position selecting screw for ceiling mounting”, use a Philips
screwdriver with a 30-mm or longer shank.
The screw is located in the hole shown in the illustration.

Note

• When using the projector in a ceiling-mounted position, you should reverse the projected image by changing the settings of
Right Left rev. and Top Bottom inv. menus. For details, refer to page 52. You can also change these settings without
receiving a video signal. In this case, refer to “Menu Transition Diagram in No signal Menu Mode” on page 37.

When installing (adjusting/setting) the unit

• When using “Top Bottom inv.” on the “Options” menu, reset the unit by following the procedure below.

• This reset procedure must be performed before operating the unit.

1. Change the “Top Bottom inv.” Setting on the “Options” menu.

2. Press the OPERATE button to enter the unit into the stand-by mode.

3. Press the OPERATE button again to turn on the unit.

Be sure that the computer to be used suffices the following conditions:

• The computer has the video signal output port.
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 page 23.
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

S

) and G on Sync signals cannot be handled depending on the devices connected.

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.

1

Insert the supplied power cord into the
power input terminal of the projector.

2

Insert the main plug of the supplied
power cord into a suitable wall outlet.

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.

Removing the Lens Cap

Remove the lens cap before using the projector.

Note

• 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.

terminal, the message “No image signal is inputted.” is
displayed on the screen. (Refer to page 64.)

• When the PC2 input terminal is used, “PC2 (BNC)” must be
selected from the menu options. (Refer to page 52.)

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. : 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.
