DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK)

NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE

REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED

SERVICE PERSONNEL.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended
to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the
product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric
shock.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the
presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the litera­ture accompanying the appliance.

WARNING:

TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

CAUTION:

TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT USE THIS (POLARIZED) PLUG WITH AN EXTENSION
CORD, RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE BLADES CAN BE FULLY INSERTED TO
PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE.

NOTE:

SINCE THIS PROJECTOR IS PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT, THE SOCKET-OUTLET MUST BE IN­STALLED NEAR THE EQUIPMENT AND SHOULD BE EASILY ACCESSIBLE.

WARNING

Use the attached specified power supply cord. If you
use another power-supply cord, it may cause interfer­ence with radio and television reception.

Use the attached RGB cable, RS-232C cable with this
equipment so as to keep interference within the limit
of a FCC Class A device.

This apparatus must be grounded.

The projector automatically shuts off when the
lamp is used up in about 2,000 hours and cannot
be used until the lamp is replaced and the inter­nal timer is reset. See page 22.

COMPLIANCE NOTICE

This LCD - Video Projector complies with the re­quirements of the EC Directive 89/336/EEC “EMC
Directive” as amended by Directive 93/68/EEC and
73/23/EEC “Low Voltage Directive” as amended by
Directive 93/68/EEC.

The electro-magnetic susceptibility has been chosen
at a level that gains proper operation in residential
areas, on business and light industrial premises and
on small-scale enterprises, inside as well as outside
of the buildings. All places of operation are
characterised by their connection to the public low
voltage power supply system.

WARNING

Use the attached RGB cable or RS-232C cable with
this equipment so as to keep interference within the
limits of a EN55022 Class B and EN55013. Please

the power plug. If you are unable to insert the plug
into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace
your A/C outlet.

• The supplied power cord for U.S. is used for 120V
only. Never connect to any outlet or power supply
having a different voltage or frequency. If you
connect to the power supply having a different
voltage, please use the appropriate power cord.

• Use 100-240V AC 50/60Hz correct voltage other­wise it may lead to fire or electric shock.

• Do not place any objects on the power cord, and keep
the projector away from heat sources to avoid dam­aging the power cord. A damaged power cord can
cause fire or electric shock.

• Do not modify or alter the power cord otherwise it
may cause fire or electric shock.
Contact your dealer if the cord is damaged.

Caution:

• Plug in firmly and unplug by holding the plug, not
by pulling the cable out.

• Do not plug in or out with wet hands. It may cause
an electric shock.

The interval of the lamp replacement about 2,000 hours
of consecutive use. Replacement span may differ ac­cording to operating environment, and may be shorter
than 2,000 hours. Decreases in luminescence and/or
color brightness will indicate that the light source lamp
needs to be replaced. When lamp operation time ex­ceeds 1,500 hours, the indicator will flash alternately
between green and red (while the lamp is in operation;
when the lamp is not in operation, the indicator will
appear red only). When the lamp has been used for
about 1,900 hours, the message “LAMP!!.” will appear
on the screen for one minute. When the lamp has been
used for about 2,000 hours, the projector will automati­cally shut off for safety and the power indicator light
will be red. The projector cannot be used until the lamp
has been replaced and operation timer has been reset.

Caution:

• The lamp is fragile. If broken, be careful not to cut
yourself with glass fragments.

• The replacement span of the lamp depends on the
environment. For replacement lamps, please con­tact your dealer.

The projector automatically shuts off when the
lamp is used up in about 2,000 hours and cannot
be used until the lamp is replaced and the inter­nal timer is reset.

Maintenance

Caution:

Be sure to turn off the projector and unplug the power
cord from the wall outlet before you perform any main­tenance on the projector.

Cleaning the air-filter

Clean the air-filter frequently (about once a month). If
the filter or ventilation slots become clogged with dirt
or dust, the temperature inside of the projector may
rise and cause some troubles, such as damage of in­side parts, and shortening the life of panel.

• When the temperature inside of the projector
rises, the TEMP indicator blinks in red, and the
power will be shut off to be stand-by which LAMP
indicator is turned off.

For side air outlet grill

1. To remove the filter cover, press the ridged area gently,
push the cover in the direction of the arrow and lift.

2. Remove the air-filter from
the filter cover.

3. Wash the air-filter.

• Use water or a mild

detergent diluted with

Rinse the filter thoroughly and let it dry
completely.
