Controls and Features (cont.)

Left-hand side / Back Side

Intake area (filter)

9, w

Air is taken in through this area to cool the light-source lamp. If this area is blocked or if something that obstructs taking-in or exhausted air is placed around the projector, heat may build up inside and could cause a fire. For details, refer to “Precautions for Installation” on pages 17 and 18.

CAUTIONS

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

• Clean the filter periodically. Deposition of dirt on the filter works to reduce the cooling effect, causing heat to build up inside, which could cause a fire or malfunction. For details, refer to “Cleaning and Replacing the Filters” on pages 48 and 49.

Exhaust vent (for the light-source lamp power supply)

This vent dischrages warm air from the cooling fan for the light-source lamp power supply. This fan continues running as long as the MAIN POWER switch is on.

Installing Batteries

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

Open the back cover.

Open the back cover in the direction of the arrow.

Install the batteries.

Place the two batteries (AA/R6-size) supplied in the remote

control unit 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 unit starts failing to work properly, replace the batteries with new ones.

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.
