What is PIN code?
PIN (Personal Identification Number) code is a security
code that allows the person who knows it to operate the
projector. Setting the PIN code prevents unauthorized use
of the projector.
A PIN code consists of a four-digit number. Refer to the PIN
code lock function in the Setting Menu on pages 50-51 for
locking operation of the projector with your PIN code.
CAUTION ON HANDLING THE PIN CODE
If you forget your PIN code, the projector can no
longer be started. Take a special care in setting a
new PIN code; write down the number in a column
on page 72 of this manual and keep it at hand.
Should the PIN code be missing or forgotten,
consult your dealer or service center.

LIFE. TURN OFF THE PROJECTOR AND LET STAND
FOR ABOUT AN HOUR IN EVERY 24 HOURS.
“Power off” disappears after 4 seconds.
✔Note:
• When the On start function is “On,” this projector is
turned on automatically by connecting the AC power cord
to an AC outlet (p. 49).
• The running speed of cooling fans is changed according
to the temperature inside the projector.
• Do not put the projector in a case before the projector is
cooled enough.
• If the WARNING indicator blinks or emits a red light, see
“Warning Indicator” on page 57.
• While the POWER indicator is blinking, the lamp is being
cooled down and the projector cannot be turned on. Wait
until the POWER indicator stops blinking to turn on the
projector again.
• The fan rotation will terminate directly if the AC power
cord is unplugged immediately after the projector is
turned off.
• The projector can be turned on after the POWER indicator
turns red. The waiting time to restart will be shortened
when the normal power-off processing for fan cooling is
completed, compared with the time the AC power cord is
immediately unplugged after the power-off.

Antitheft Alarm Function
How to Use the Antitheft Alarm Function
Antitheft alarm function is provided to prevent the projector from being stolen. When this function is set to
“On,” the alarm rings as an unauthorized person tries to move the projector.
To activate the Alarm function for the first time after purchase, you must turn on the power once.
✔Note:
•This function is not a guarantee against stealing.
• The alarm does not ring while the AC power cord is connected to an outlet even if the projector detects
vibrations.
•The alarm will stop, as the AC power cord is connected to an outlet, except when the battery cover is open.
• Pressing the buttons is always accompanied by a sound. If no sound is produced after pressing a button, you
need to press it again.
The Alarm function is operated by a built-in rechargeable
battery. The alarm will not work properly if the battery is not
charged enough. See page 55 for details.
Set and release the Antitheft alarm function
The Alarm setting and release and PIN Code change can be
made without an AC power connection.
Set the alarm
Press the F button three times to turn the alarm function
on. The ALARM indicator blinks for a few seconds and the
projector enters the warning mode. (If the battery is not
charged enough for the alarm function to operate normally,
it bleeps and the Alarm indicator will blink red every 20
seconds.)
During the Antitheft alarm function is on, the projector emits
a low-pitched sound when it detects vibration.
When the projector does not detect vibration for a few
seconds after the sound, it goes back to the warning mode.
When the projector detects more vibrations after the lowpitched sound, the alarm starts ringing.
The Alarm operating configuration (Battery charge, Alarm
volume, Sensitivity, and Ringing time) can be selected in the
menu. See page 54.
✔Note:
• You can test the alarm sound without setting the alarm
function. Press and hold the F button, then the alarm
starts ringing. The duration of the alarm sound is the
same as the “Ringing Time” setting (p.54).

LAMP HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
This projector uses a high-pressure lamp which must be handled carefully and properly. Improper handling
may result in accidents, injury, or create a fire hazard.
● Lamp life may differ from lamp to lamp and according to the environment of use. There is no guarantee
of the same life for each lamp. Some lamps may fail or terminate their life in a shorter period of time
than other similar lamps.
● If the projector indicates that the lamp should be replaced, i.e., if the LAMP REPLACE indicator lights
up, replace the lamp with a new one IMMEDIATELY after the projector has cooled down.
(Follow carefully the instructions in the Lamp Replacement section of this manual.) Continuous use of
the lamp with the LAMP REPLACE indicator lighted may increase the risk of lamp explosion.
● A Lamp may explode as a result of vibration, shock, or degradation as a result of hours of use, as it
comes to the end of life. Risk of explosion may differ according to the environment or conditions in
which the projector and lamp are being used.
IF A LAMP EXPLODES, THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN.
If a lamp explodes, disconnect the projector’s AC plug from the AC outlet immediately. Contact an
authorized service station for a checkup of the unit and replacement of the lamp. Additionally, check
carefully to ensure that there are no broken shards or pieces of glass around the projector or coming out
from the cooling air circulation holes. Any broken shards found should be cleaned up carefully. No one
should check the inside of the projector except those who are authorized trained technicians and who
are familiar with projector service. Inappropriate attempts to service the unit by anyone, especially those
who are not appropriately trained to do so, may result in an accident or injury caused by pieces of broken
glass.
