Safety Precaution

WARNING: ● THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED.

● TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR
ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS

APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

– This projector produces intense light from the projection
lens. Do not stare directly into the lens, otherwise eye
damage could result. Be especially careful that children
do not stare directly into the beam.
– Install the projector in a proper position. Otherwise it may
result in fire hazard.
– Allowing the proper amount of space on the top, sides,

air circulation and cooling of the unit. The dimension
shown here indicate the minimum space required.
If the projector is to be built into a compartment or
similarly enclosed, these minimum distances must be
maintained.
– Do not cover the ventilation slot on the projector. Heat
build-up can reduce the service life of your projector, and
can also be dangerous.

Positioning the Projector

For projector positioning, see the figures below. The projector should be set perpendicularly to the plane of the
screen.

✔ Note:

• The brightness in the room has a great influence on picture quality. It is recommended to limit ambient
lighting in order to obtain the best image.

• All measurements are approximate and may vary from the actual sizes.

Adjustable Feet

Projection angle can be adjusted up to 12.0 degrees with
the adjustable feet.

Lift the front of the projector and press the feet lock latches
on both side of the projector.

Release the feet lock latches to lock the adjustable feet and
rotate the adjustable feet to a proper height and tilt.

Connecting the AC Power Cord

L R

This projector uses nominal input voltages of 100-120 V or
200–240 V AC and it automatically selects the correct input
voltage. It is designed to work with single-phase power
systems having a grounded neutral conductor. To reduce
the risk of electrical shock, do not plug into any other type of
power system.
If you are not sure of the type of power being supplied,
consult your authorized dealer or service station.
Connect the projector with all peripheral equipment before
turning the projector on.

CAUTION

The AC outlet must be near this equipment and must be
easily accessible.

✔ Note:

Unplug the AC power cord when the projector is not
in use. When this projector is connected to an outlet
with the AC power cord, it is in Stand-by mode and
consumes a little electric power.

Installation

Connect the AC power cord (supplied) to the
projector.

NOTE ON THE POWER CORD

AC power cord must meet requirement of the country where you use the projector.
Confirm the AC plug type with the chart below and proper AC power cord must be used.
If supplied AC power cord does not match your AC outlet, contact your sales dealer.

correct PIN code all over again.

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 a 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 54-55 for
locking operation of the projector with your PIN code.

PIN Code Input Dialog Box

After the OK icon disappears,
you can operate the projector.

CAUTION ON HANDLING 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 76 of this manual and keep it
on hand. Should the PIN code be missing or
forgotten, consult your dealer or service center.

✔Note:

• If the PIN code number is not entered within three
minutes after the PIN code dialog box appeared, the
projector will be turned off automatically.

• The “1234” is set as the initial PIN code at the factory.

19

Basic Operation

Turning Off the Projector

Press the ON/STAND-BY button on the top control or

1

on the remote control, and Power off? appears on the

At this time, you can unplug the AC power cord even if
the fans are still running.

When the projector has cooled down enough, the

3

POWER indicator stops blinking and you can turn on
the projector.

TO MAINTAIN THE LIFE OF THE LAMP, ONCE
YOU TURN THE PROJECTOR ON, WAIT AT
LEAST FIVE MINUTES BEFORE TURNING IT
OFF.

Power off? disappears after 4 seconds.

DO NOT OPERATE THE PROJECTOR
CONTINUOUSLY WITHOUT REST.
CONTINUOUS USE MAY RESULT IN
SHORTENING THE LAMP LIFE. TURN OFF THE
PROJECTOR AND LET STAND FOR ABOUT AN
HOUR IN EVERY 24 HOURS.

✔Note:

• When the On start function is set to On, the projector will
be turned on automatically by connecting the AC power
cord to an AC outlet (p.52).

• 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 lights red, see
“WARNING indicator” on page 59.

• 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 power­off.
