Caution:
• Do not spill liquid on the lamp or place it near flam­mable objects or where children can touch it. Oth­erwise, it could cause injury or fire.
• Be sure that the projector guide is firmly inserted between the right and left lamp guides.
Interval of the lamp replacement
The interval of the lamp replacement about 1,500 hours of consecutive use. Replacement span may differ according to operating environment, and may be shorter than 1,500 hours. Decreases in luminescence and/or color brightness will indi­cate that the light source lamp needs to be replaced. When lamp operation time exceeds 1,000 hours*1, 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 1,400 hours*1, the message “LAMP!!.” will appear on the screen for one minute everytime the power is turned on. When the lamp has been used for about 1,500 hours*1,*2, 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.

Important:
Make sure that your computer and projector are turned off before connection.
Turn on the projector after the computer is started up.
(If you do not follow this order, the Comport may not function.)
Adapters may be necessary depending on the PC connected to this projector. Contact your dealer for details.
1) Interface
PROTOCOL RS-232C BAUD RATE 9600 [bps] DATA LENGTH 8 [bits] PARITY BIT NONE STOP BIT 1 [bit] FLOW CONTROL NONE
This projector uses RXD, TXD and GND lines for RS-232C control. For RS-232C cable,the reverse type cable should be used.
2) Control command diagram
The command is structured by the address code, function code, data code and end code. The length of the command is different by each function.
Address code Function code Data code End code HEX 30h 30h Function Data 0Dh ASCII '0' '0' Function Data
[Address code] 30h 30h (In ASCII code, '0' '0') fixed. [Function code] A code of each fixed control move. [Data code] A code of each fixed control data (number) and not always indicated. [End code] 0Dh (In ASCII code, ' ') fixed.

3) Control sequence
(1) Send the command from a personal computer to the projector. (The commands must be sent at least
400ms apart.)
(2) The projector will send a return command 400ms* after it has received an end code. If the command is
not received correctly, the projector will not send the return command.
(3) The personal computer checks the command and confirms if the command which has been sent has been
executed or not.
(4) This projector sends various codes other than the return code. When having a control sequence by RS-
232C, reject other codes from personal computer side.
* : The sending time of return command may delay depending on the condition (during changing the input signal, etc.).
