Remote Control Parts

DLP® Projector – User’s Manual
Important:
1. Avoid using the projector with bright fluorescent lighting turned on. Certain high-frequency fluores-
cent lights can disrupt remote control operation.
2. Be sure nothing obstructs the path between the remote control and the projector. If the path between the remote control and the projector is obstructed, you can bounce the signal off certain reflective sur­faces such as projector screens.
3. The buttons and keys on the projector have the same functions as the corresponding buttons on the remote control. This user’s manual describes the functions based on the remote control.

Remote Control Operating Range
The remote control uses infrared transmission to control the projector. It is not necessary to point the remote directly at the projector. Provided you are not holding the remote perpendicular to the sides or the rear of the projector, the remote will function well within a radius of about 10 meters (33 feet) and 30 degrees above or below the projector level. If the projector does not respond to the remote control, move a little closer.

Projector and Remote Control Buttons

The projector can be operated using the remote control or the buttons on the top of the projector. All operations can be carried out with the remote control; however the buttons on the projector are lim­ited in use. The following illustration shows the corresponding buttons on the remote control and on the projector.
Some buttons on the projector have two functions. For example, item 10/13 on the projector functions both keystone button and as the up cursor key in OSD menus.

Maintenance and Security

Replacing the Projection Lamp

The projection lamp should be replaced when it burns out. It should only be replaced with a certified replacement part, which you can order from your local dealer.
Important:
1. The lamp contains a certain amount of mercury and should be disposed of according to local ordi-
nance regulations.
2. Avoid touching the glass surface of the new lamp: Doing so may shorten its operation life.
Warning:
Be sure to turn off and unplug the projector at least an hour before replacing the lamp. Failure to do so could result in a severe burn.
Note:
Safety glasses should be worn when replacing the lamp while the projector is ceiling mounted.

Cleaning the Projector

Cleaning the projector to remove dust and grime will help ensure trouble-free operation.
Warning:
1. Be sure to turn off and unplug the projector at least an hour before cleaning. Failure to do so could
result in a severe burn.
2. Use only a dampened cloth when cleaning. Do not allow water to enter the ventilation openings on the projector.
3. If a little water gets into the projector interior while cleaning, leave unplugged in a well-ventilated room for several hours before using.
4. If a lot of water gets into the projector interior when cleaning, have the projector serviced.

Cleaning the Lens

You can purchase optic lens cleaner from most camera stores. Refer to the following to clean the pro­jector lens.
37
Page 46
DLP® Projector – User’s Manual
1. Apply a little optic lens cleaner to a clean soft cloth. (Do not apply the cleaner directly to the lens.)
2. Lightly wipe the lens in a circular motion.
Caution:
1. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
2. To prevent discoloration or fading, avoid getting cleaner on the projector case.

Cleaning the Case

Refer to the following to clean the projector case.
1. Wipe off dust with a clean dampened cloth.
2. Moisten the cloth with warm water and mild detergent (such as used to wash dishes), and then wipe the case.
3. Rinse all detergent from the cloth and wipe the projector again.
Caution:
To prevent discoloration or fading of the case, do not use abrasive alcohol-based cleaners.

Using the Kensington® Lock

If you are concerned about security, attach the projector to a permanent object with the Kensington slot and a security cable.
Note:
Contact your vendor for details on purchasing a suitable Kensington security cable. The security lock corresponds to Kensington’s MicroSaver Security System. If you have any comment,

Troubleshooting

Common problems and solutions

These guidelines provide tips to deal with problems you may encounter while using the projector. If the problem remains unsolved, contact your dealer for assistance.
Often after time spent troubleshooting, the problem is traced to something as simple as a loose con­nection. Check the following before proceeding to the problem-specific solutions.
Use some other electrical device to confirm that the electrical outlet is working.
Ensure the projector is turned on.
Ensure all connections are securely attached.
Ensure the attached device is turned on.
Ensure a connected PC is not in suspend mode.
Ensure a connected notebook computer is configured for an external display. (This is usu-
ally done by pressing an Fn-key combination on the notebook.)

Tips for Troubleshooting

In each problem-specific section, try the steps in the order suggested. This may help you to solve the problem more quickly.
Try to pin point the problem and thus avoid replacing non-defective parts. For example, if you replace batteries and the problem remains, put the original batteries back and go to the next step.
Keep a record of the steps you take when troubleshooting: The information may be useful when call­ing for technical support or for passing on to service personnel.
