Precautions on handling

Cautions when moving the projector

Be sure to attach the lens cover before moving the projector.

The projection lens is extremely susceptible to vibration and shocks. When moving the projector, use the accessory carrying bag. When placing the projector inside the carrying bag, position it so that the lens is facing upward.

Cautions regarding setting-up

Observe the following at all times when setting up the projector.

Avoid setting up in places which are subject to vibration or shocks.

If the projector is set up in locations with strong vibration, such as near a motor, or if it is installed inside a vehicle or on board a ship, the projector may be subjected to vibration or shocks which can damage the internal parts and cause malfunctions or accidents. Accordingly, set up the projector in a place which is free from such vibrations and shocks.

Do not set up the projector near high-voltage power lines or near motors.

The projector may be subject to electromagnetic interference if it is set up near high-voltage power lines or motors.

If installing the projector to the ceiling, ask a qualified technician to carry out all installation work.

If the projector is to be suspended from the ceiling, you will need to purchase the separate installation kit (Model No.: ET-PKE300). Furthermore, all installation work should only be carried out by a qualified technician.

If using this projector at high elevations (above 1400 m), set the FAN CONTROL to HIGH. (Refer to page 40.)

Failure to observe this may result in malfunctions.

Notes on use

In order to get the best picture quality

If outside light or light from indoor lamps is shining onto the screen, the images projected will not have good contrast. Draw curtains or blinds over any windows and turn off any fluorescent lights near the screen to prevent reflection.

Do not touch the surfaces of the lens with your bare hands.

If the surface of the lens becomes dirty from fingerprints or anything else, this will be magnified and projected onto the screen. Moreover, when not using the projector, retract the lens and then cover it with the accessory lens cover.

Preparation

About the SD memory card slot

Make sure that there are no foreign objects inside the slot when inserting an optional SD memory card. Failure to observe it may damage the card and the slot.

About the screen

If the screen you are using is dirty, damaged or discolored, attractive projections cannot be obtained. Do not apply any volatile substances to the screen, and do not let it become dirty or damaged.

About the lamp

The lamp may need to be replaced earlier due to variables such as a particular lamp’s characteristics, usage conditions and the installation environment, especially when it is subjected to a continuous use for more than 10 hours.

About the liquid crystal panel

The liquid crystal panel of the projector is built with very high precision technology giving you fine picture details. Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point of blue, green or red. Please note that this does not affect the performance of your LCD.

Before carrying out cleaning and maintenance, be sure to disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet.

Wipe the cabinet with a soft, dry cloth.

If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in water with a small amount of neutral detergent in it, squeeze the cloth very well, and then wipe the cabinet. After cleaning, wipe the cabinet dry with a dry cloth.

If using a chemically-treated cloth, read the instructions supplied with the cloth before use.

Do not wipe the lens with a cloth that is dusty or which produces lint. If any dust or lint gets onto the lens, such dust or lint will be magnified and projected onto the screen. Use a blower to clean any dust and lint from the lens surface, or use a soft cloth to wipe off any dust or lint.

Basic Operation

Turning off the power

# Press the POWER button. “POWER OFF” is

displayed on the screen.

$ Select “OK” using the I and H buttons and

press the ENTER button.

The lamp unit will switch off and the picture will stop being projected. (The power indicator on the projector will illuminate orange.)

% Wait until the power indicator on the projector illuminates red (until

the cooling fan stops).

Do not in any way cut power to the projector while the cooling fan is still operating. Be careful not to switch off the MAIN POWER switch of the projector, unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet or turn off in-line switches such as tabletop power switches.

& Press the MAIN POWER switch to the “O” side to turn off the power.

NOTE:

B After the power is turned off, the lamp unit will take some time to cool

down. If you turn the power back on again before the lamp unit has cooled down, the lamp unit may not turn on straight away, but it will turn on automatically after a short period. (During this time, the power indicator on the projector will flash orange.)

B When the projector is in standby mode (the power indicator on the

projector is illuminated red), the projector will still draw a maximum 1.5 W of power, even when the cooling fan has stopped.

B If the MAIN POWER switch is accidentally turned off while the projector is

being used, the lamp unit may not turn on straight away after the power is turned back on. In such cases, the lamp unit will turn back on automatically after a short period. (During this time, the power indicator on the projector will flash green.)

B A tinkling sound may be heard while the power indicator is turned off, but

this is not a sign of a malfunction.

B You can also turn off the power by pressing the POWER button twice or

by holding down it for at least 0.5 seconds.
