Important Information

Air Circulation

Openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered.

CAUTION

Hot air is from the exhaust vent. When using or installing the projector, the following precautions should be taken.

−Do not put any flammable objects or spray cans near the projector, hot air is exhausted from the air vents.

−Keep the exhaust vent at least 3 feet (1 m) away from any objects.

−Do not touch peripheral parts in the exhaust vents, especially screws and metallic parts. These areas will become hot while the projector is used.

−Do not put anything on the cabinet. Objects put on the cabinet will not only get damaged but may also cause a fire hazard.

Cooling fans are provided to cool down the projector. The fans’ running speed is changed according to the temperature inside the projector.

Installing the Projector in Proper Position

IMPORTANT!

Clean the Filter Regularly!!

The projector uses a lamp which generates significant heat. The cooling fans and air vents are provided to dissipate the heat by drawing air into the housing and the filter is located in the intake vents to prevent dust from getting inside of the projector.

In order to care for the projector appropriately, regular cleaning is required. Remove any dirt or dust that has accumulated on the projector and on or in the filter.

When the “Please clean filter” message is displayed, stop using the projector immediately and clean or replace the filter.

Blocking the air vents and leaving the projector uncleaned for a long time may not only damage the projector and may require costly repairs but may also cause accidents or fire.

For maintenance of the filter, refer to “Option” on page 83 and “Replacing the Filters” on pages 97 – 98.

Damages to the projector caused by using an un-cleaned filter or improper maintenance will void the warranty on the projector.

Install the projector properly. Improper installation may reduce the lamp lifetime and cause a fire hazard.

Do not tilt the projector more than 10 degrees above and below.

Do not point the projector up to project an image.

NO UPWARD

NO SIDEWAYS

1. Introduction

Important:

Avoid using the projector with bright fluorescent lighting turned on. Certain high-frequency fluorescent lights can disrupt remote control operation.

2.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.

Note:

* To turn off the projector, press the STAND-BY button twice.

Operating Range for Wireless Remote Control

Point the remote control toward the projector (to Infrared Remote Receivers) when pressing the buttons. Maximum operating range for the remote control is about 16.4 feet (5 m) and 60 degrees in front and rear of the projector.

Infrared remote receivers are provided both in front and back of the projector. You can conveniently use both of the receivers.

Remote Control Precautions

The following precautions ensure that the remote operates correctly and safely.

•Use two (2) AA or LR6 type alkaline batteries.

• Always replace batteries in sets.

•Do not use a new battery with a used one.

•Avoid contact with water or liquid.

•Do not expose the remote control to moisture or heat.

•Do not drop the remote control.

•If the battery has leaked on the remote control, carefully wipe the case clean and install new batteries.

•Risk of an explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.

•Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

Remote Control Codes

This projector provides eight different remote control codes (Code 1–Code 8); the factory-set, initial code (Code 1) and the other seven codes (Code 2 to Code 8). This switching function prevents remote control interference when operating several projectors or video equipment at the same time.

The same code should be set on both the projector and the remote control.

For example operating the projector in “Code 7”, both the projector and the remote control must be switched to “Code 7”.

To change the code for the projector;

Select a remote control code in the Menu.

To change the code for the remote control;

Check the Reset Switch to Use position in the compartment lid on back of the remote control.

With holding down the MENU button, press the IMAGE button. By pressing the IMAGE button, the code switches in a sequential order.

To reset the code for the remote control;

Slide the Reset Switch to "Reset position" in the compartment lid on back of the remote control.
