Usage Notice
Eye Safety Warnings
Avoid staring directly into the projector beam at all times. Minimize standing facing into the beam. Keep your back to
the beam as much as possible.
A stick or laser pointer is recommended to avoid the need for
the user to enter the beam.
Ensure that projectors are located out of the line of sight from
the screen to the audience; this ensures that, when presenters look at the audience, they do not also have to stare at the pro­jector lamp. The best way to achieve this is by ceiling-mount-
ing rather than oor or table-mounting the projector.
When projector is used in a classroom, adequately supervise
students when they are asked to point out something on the screen.
In order to minimize the lamp power needed, use room blinds
to reduce ambient light levels.

Each display mode (Present/ Bright/ Movie/ sRGB/ User) has its
own color temperature and can memorize user’s selection.
When you adjust the color setting item, the color temperature will be set as “User” automatically. And this set “User” is the same for all display mode.
Different color setting will be memorized at 4 different source groups. But they will be same under same source.
1. DVI / VGA
2. Component-p (480p/576p/720p/1080i)
3. Component-i (480i/576i)
4. Video / S-Video
When we adjust color setting the current color temperature will be memorized before it auto switch to “User”. Because the memo rized color temperature will be a base of “User”. For example:
1.) Colour temp. is Low.
2.) User create his favorite color based on “Low” setting of colour
temperature. So when user switch “Colour temp.” to “User”,
will nd the image color temperature close to “Low”.
