Open the back cover.

Open the back cover in the direction of the arrow.

2

Install the batteries.

Place the two batteries (AA/R6-size) supplied in the remote control as illustrated below.

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 the surrounding. 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 shortcircuiting.

• Use only designated batteries.

• Remove the batteries if not used for a prolonged period of time.

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

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

• Batteries run for six months to one year in normal use. But 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 (Cont.)

■ Observe the following points when installing the projector by hanging it from the ceiling

• To prevent falling or overturning, it is recommended that the projector be fixed to its stand with bolts.

• When mounting the projector to the ceiling, first install a special shelf and then set the projector on it securely. For safety

and maintenance purposes, a suitable facility is necessary to easily lift and lower the projector from the shelf for maintenance access.

305 mm (12”) or more

■ Light energy decreases as it passes a glass. So, no more than one glass should be used in the projecting room.

■ Avoid using panes of glass as much as possible.

■ Pay attention to the angle of the glass and the installed angle of the projector so that the light emitted from the

projector does not come back into the lens after reflection.

Install the projector so the center of the projection screen is the same height as the center of the lens.

The separately sold lenses used on the projector have a lens shift function. With the lens used, you can adjust the projected image vertically using the setting menu or the remote control’s SHIFT button U or D. When using the projectors in a stack configuration (stacked one over another), make adjustment so that the picture of one projector overlays exactly that of another using the lens shift function.

No.51666

For detailed adjustment procedures, refer to “Operating the Setting Menu” (page 30) and “Controls and Features” (page 11). For maximum amount of shift, refer to “Maximum Amount of Shift” (page 17). (When the lens needs to be adjusted in horizontal angles, consult your dealer or service center.)

Note

• Some of the lenses (except GL-M4023SZ and GL-M4015S) to be introduced in the future may not feature the lens shift function.

Memo

Stack configuration: Up to four projectors can be stacked and used together (stack configuration). Using two or more projectors together, high image brightness can be attained. This allows you to project suf ficiently bright image in a fairly large auditorium or relatively bright place without using a heavy-duty projector.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to the projector during shipment, a shift center lock pin was used to fix the lens mechanism when the projector was shipped out the factory. If you implement “SHIFT LENS” on the setting menu and the lens does not either move up or down, the shift center lock pin may not have been removed. Consult your dealer or service center.

CAUTIONS and NOTES

• When installing the 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 picture is about 91.8% that of a 4 : 3 aspect ratio picture. This value is a guide and should be used as a reference.

• When projecting at the maximum projection distance, we recommend that the projector be used with the zoom on the Tele (T).

• If sunlight or lamp light strikes the projection screen directly, the picture becomes whitish and dim. Be sure to use a curtain, etc. to shield the light.

• Trapezoidal distortion may not be corrected. Adjust the projector within the range of angle adjustment (up/down adjustment angle: +4°; horizontal adjustment angle: ±5°) so that it is set up level.

CAUTIONS and NOTES

Do not turn off the MAIN POWER switch suddenly while the projector is being used or immediately after it has been used. This could cause a malfunction.

•Since the projector uses a high-intensity lamp and is heated to high temperature, cooling fans are operating even during

projection. So, after use, the cooling fans continue to run until the light-source lamp is sufficiently cooled down after the OPERATE button was pressed. During the cooling-down, never turn off the main power switch. T urn it off only after the cooling fans (except the one for the light-source lamp power supply) have stopped running. (The cooling fans will run for about 10 minutes after the STAND BY indicator has changed from flashing (for about 20 seconds) to steady lighting.)

•If you press the OPERA TE button immediately after the light-source lamp lights, it takes about 30 seconds for the lamp to go

off. To turn the lamp on again, wait 20 seconds or more before pressing the OPERATE button.

When the TEMP indicator lights, the power turns off automatically.

•While the light-source lamp is on, if an abnormal temperature rise is detected, the TEMP indicator comes on, the power is

automatically cut off, and the projector’s EMERGENCY indicator blinks (goes into an emergency mode).

When the EMERGENCY indicator blinks, turn off the main power switch after the fans have stopped running.

•If the following abnormality occur to the projector, it goes into an emergency mode (the EMERGENCY indicator blinks).

When the projector goes into an emergency mode, it stops projecting automatically and the cooling fans will continue to run for about 10 minutes more before they stop (except the cooling fan for the light-source lamp power supply which continues running as long as the MAIN POWER switch is on). – When the fans stop running. – When the temperature inside rises abnormally high.

•When the projector goes into an emergency mode:

After the fans have stopped, turn off the MAIN POWER switch and pull out the power cord. After that, re-insert the power cord and try to operate the projector. If it goes into emergency again, after the fans have stopped, turn off the main power switch, pull out the power cord, and consult your authorized dealer or service center for repair.

Note

• There is a relationship between the adjustment of items R-GAIN, G-GAIN, and B-GAIN and that of item CONTRAST. For example, when adjustment values are : R-GAIN: 0, G-GAIN: 5, B-GAIN: 0, and CONTRAST : 0, changing CONTRAST to 1 changes the adjustment values as follows: R-GAIN: 1, GGAIN: 6, and B-GAIN: 1. Also, when the adjustment value of any of R-GAIN, G-GAIN, and B-GAIN has reached -30 (minimum) or +30 (maximum), CONTRAST cannot be adjusted to any higher value. For example, when R-GAIN is 0, G-GAIN is 5, B-GAIN is 0, and CONTRAST is 0, increasing CONTRAST allows the other adjustment values to increase until R-GAIN: 25, G-GAIN: 30, and B-GAIN: 25, then CONTRAST becomes 25 and cannot be adjusted to any higher value.

Filter Maintenance and Light-Source Lamp Replacement

Note

• If the filter is clogged with dirt, etc., the projector goes into an emergency mode (the EMERGENCY indicator blinks). So, clean the filter periodically. For the emergency mode, refer to pages 8 and 24.

1

Bring the projector into stand-by state, and turn off the MAIN POWER switch.

Put the projector into stand-by, and make sure the ST AND BY indicator is lit, then tun off the MAIN POWER switch. After that, disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet and the projector. For detailed procedures, refer to “Turning off the power” (page 25).

2

Remove the filter cover screws.

Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the six screws fixing each filter. Two filters are used, one on the right side and the other on the back of the projector.

3

Remove the filters.

To remove the filter, pinch the center portion of the filter with your fingers and pull it toward you.

(The filter is held by four tabs.)

There are two filters used.

Cleaning and Replacing the Filter

The filters should be cleaned periodically. If they are heavily stained, do not become clean if cleaned, or are damaged, replace them with new filters (Parts number: LC30505); otherwise, dirt and dust may get inside, possibly causing an adverse effect on the screen and preventing you from enjoying clear pictures.

■ The projector has two filters installed, one on the right side and the other on the back.

About Light-Source Lamp Replacement

The light-source lamp has its service life. It is approximately 1000 hours.

When the light-source lamp approaches the end of its service life, its degradation progresses rapidly. When the lamp’s used hours exceed 900 hours, the projector’s LAMP indicator comes on. Also, at the start of projection (lamp energized), the message “REPL.-LAMP” appears on the projection screen for about two minutes. Then, the light-source lamp needs to be replaced. When lamp’s service has reached 1000 hours, the projector’s LAMP indicator starts blinking. The specified lamp replacement period is 1000 hours, but depending on use conditions, the replacement period may vary. If video image is dark and its color tint is extraordinary even after you have adjusted color tint and brightness, replace the light-source lamp a little earlier. For replacing the light-source lamp, consult the dealer where you purchased your projector or a local service center.

60

CAUTIONS

• Put on rubber gloves when using neutral detergent.

Install batteries in the remote control. If the remote control has started to work erratically, replace the batteries.

1

Open the back cover.

Open the back cover in the direction of the arrow.

2

Install the batteries.

Place the two batteries (AA/R6-size) supplied in the remote control as illustrated below.

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 the surrounding. 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 shortcircuiting.

• Use only designated batteries.

• Remove the batteries if not used for a prolonged period of time.

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

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

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

Relationship relative to Glass Surface

Precautions for Installation (Cont.)

■ Observe the following points when installing the projector by hanging it from the ceiling

• To prevent falling or overturning, it is recommended that the projector be fixed to its stand with bolts.

• When mounting the projector to the ceiling, first install a special shelf and then set the projector on it securely. For safety

and maintenance purposes, a suitable facility is necessary to easily lift and lower the projector from the shelf for maintenance access.

305 mm or more

■ Light energy decreases as it passes a glass. So, no more than one glass should be used in the projecting room.

■ Avoid using panes of glass as much as possible.

■ Pay attention to the angle of the glass and the installed angle of the projector so that the light emitted from the

projector does not come back into the lens after reflection.
