2.Load the batteries making sure that they are positioned correctly (+ to +, and - to -).

• Load the batteries from - spring side, and make sure to set them tightly.

3.Replace the back cover.

Caution:

•Use of a battery of wrong type may cause explosion.

•Only Carbon-Zinc or Alkaline-Manganese Dioxide type batteries should be used.

•Dispose of used batteries according to your local regulations.

•Batteries may explode if misused. Do not recharge, disassemble, or dispose of in fire.

•Be sure to handle the battery according to the instructions.

•Load the battery with its positive (+) and negative (-) sides correctly oriented as indicated on the remote control.

•If the solution of batteries comes in contact with your skin or clothes, rinse with water. If the solution comes in contact with your eyes, rinse them with water and then consult your doctor.

Operation range (of the remote control)

The maximum operation distance of the remote control is about 10 m (or about 32 feet) when the remote control is pointed at the remote control sensor of the projector. When the remote control is pointed to the screen, the distance from the remote control to the projector via the screen should be 5 m or less. However, the operation distance varies depending on the type of the screen used.

Reception angle (vertical)

Reception angle (horizontal)	Reception angle (vertical), ceiling mount

Important:

Ask a specialist for installation. For details, consult your dealer.

Caution:

•Placing the projector directly on a carpet impairs ventilation by the fans, causing damage or failure. Put a hard board under the projector to facilitate ventilation.

•Place the projector at least 50 cm (or 20 inch) away from the wall to prevent the air inlet grille and the air outlet grilles that emit hot air from being blocked.

•Do not use the projector in the following locations and manners, which may cause fire or electric shock.

•In a dusty or humid place.

•In a sideways or upside-down position.

•Near a heater.

•In an oily, smoky, or damp place such as a kitchen.

•In direct sunlight.

•Where the temperature rises high, such as in a closed car.

•Where the temperature is lower than +41°F (or +5°C) or higher than +95°F (or +35°C ).

Important:

•Do not apply force to the lens, because the lens may be damaged.

•We don't recommend using the projector at an altitude of 1500 meters or higher. Use at an altitude of 1500 meters or higher may affect the projector's life.
