3 Close the back cover.
First fit the claw on the back cover into 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 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.

Installing the Projector
Precautions for Installation
CAUTIONS
•Since the projector weighs approx. 70 kg (154 lbs.), be sure to use four or more people when lifting or moving it; otherwise, the projector could possibly drop, causing personal injury and/or damage to the projector.
•Do not install the projector in the following places :
•There is much water, humidity or dust.
•The projector may be subjected to oil smoke or cigarette smoke.
•On a soft surface such as a carpet or cushion.
•The projector may be subjected to direct sunlight.
•Temperature is high or humidity is low.
Allowable operation temperature range: + 5°C to + 40°C (41°F to 104°F)
Allowable relative humidity range: |
90% or less (no condensation) |
Allowable storage temperature range: |
–5°C to +60°C (23°F to 140°F) |
■ When installing the projector, observe the followings:
• Do not use the projector placed on its side or upside down.
The projector can not be used by being placed on its side or upside down ;Otherwise, it could malfunction.
• Use the projector within the installed angle.
Avoid using the projector inclined ±5° or more right-to-left or left-to-right. This could cause color variation or harm 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.

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.

Center line of the lens
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.
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 sufficiently 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.

Lens Shift Function (Cont.)
Maximum amount of shift
The maximum amount of vertical shift is restricted by the amount of horizontal shift made.
The amount of shift is defined as follows:
With the screen width taken as 1, horizontal shift is defined as a ratio (%) of the screen width, while with the screen height taken as 1, vertical shift is defined as a ratio (%) of the screen height.

Projection Distances and Screen Sizes
Lenses that can be used are a 3 : 1 ~ 7 : 1 zoom lens and a 1.5 : 1 fixed-focus lens. With a zoom lens used, you have a wider latitude in selecting projection distance and installation space than with a fixed lens.
For how to install the lens, consult the dealer who installed and adjusted your projector or service center.

Note
Video image displayed on devices whose image signal is unstable, such as a video deck, may be disturbed. (This can occur when the projectors is not yet adjusted at the time of installation, or when a new device is added.)
In such a case, ask the dealer where you purchased the projector or a local service center to adjust the projector.
It is recommended that you use a video deck that is equipped with an image signal correction function (such as time base corrector or frame synchronizer).
