21) Heat – The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or
other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
About the Temperature Monitor Function:
• If the projector starts to overheat due to set-up problems or a dirty air filter, “TEMP.” will flash
in the upper-left corner of the picture. If the temperature continues to rise, then the lamp will
turn off, the TEMPERATURE WARNING indicator will flash, and after a 90-second cooling-off
period the power will shut off. Refer to page 31, “Maintenance Indicators,” when the “TEMP.”
warning appears in the picture.
• The cooling fan regulates the internal temperature, and its performance is automatically
controlled. The sound of the fan may change during operation due to changes in the fan speed.
About the Lamp Monitor Function:
• If the lamp is used for more than 1900 hours, “LAMP” will flash in yellow letters on the screen
for 60 seconds, as shown on the right, when you turn the projector on. This is to alert you that
it is time to replace the lamp. Replace the lamp according to the procedure given on page 32.
• When the number of hours the lamp is used reaches 2000, the power automatically turns off
and the projector enters the standby condition.
• Refer to page 27, “Maintenance Indicators,” when the “LAMP” warning appears on the screen.

CAUTIONS:
• Do not touch the lamp, lamp cage cover, cooling
fun, and their surrounding areas while the projector
is on. They are very hot and may cause burns.
• Allow at least 4" (10 cm) of space between the
cooling fan (exhaust vent) and the other nearest
wall or obstruction.
• If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a protection
device will automatically turn off the projector lamp.
This does not indicate a malfunction. Remove the
projector plug from the wall outlet and wait 10
minutes. Then turn on the power by plugging the
cord back in. This will return the projector to its
normal mode.

If the main power switch on the remote contol is left on and the remote
control is not used for ten or more minutes, the energy save mode will
activate and turn off the power. When in this state, any button operation
exceding one second will reactivate the power.
Using the remote
control in a dark room
• Press the LIGHT button
to turn on the back-lights
for the operation buttons
for about 10 seconds.
The back-light colors are
explained in the table to
the right.
E-7
Using the optional cable with the remote control
• When the remote control cannot be used due to the
range or positioning of the projector (rear projection,
etc.), connect the optional cable from the Wired
Remote Control Jack of the remote control to the
Wired Remote Input on the back of the projector.
Note:
• The signal transmitter does not function when the optional
cable is connected to the remote control.
Inserting the Batteries
Remove the battery cover as shown and insert four AA
size batteries making sure their polarities match the (+)
and (–) marks inside the battery compartment.
Notes:
Incorrect use of batteries may cause them to leak or burst.
• Insert the batteries with the (+) and (–) polarities as indicated.
• Remove the batteries if the remote control will not be operated
for an extended period of time.
• Maintain the batteries in a clean condition.
• Do not mix different brands of batteries. The life expectancy of
the new batteries will be shortened and the old batteries may
leak.
• When the batteries have been used up, remove them
immediately to prevent leakage and damage. Leaked battery
fluid may irritate the skin. Remove any battery fluid by wiping
with a cloth.
• Due to storage conditions and the shelf life of the supplied
batteries, they may run out after a short time. If so, replace
them with new batteries as soon as possible.
Remote control positioning
Use the remote control as shown in the figures on the left.
Note:
• The signal from the remote control can be reflected off the
screen for easy operation. However, the effective distance of
the signal may differ due to the screen material.

How to set up the projector and screen
Caution: When setting up the projector
• Do not place it in humid or dusty places, or places where the air is sooty of full of cigarette smoke. If the lens,
mirror, or other optical components become dirty, the picture will blur or darken, making viewing difficult.
• Do not expose to extreme heat or cold.
Operating temperature: 41°F to 104°F (5°C to 40°C)
Storage temperature: -4°F to 132°F (-20°C to 60°C)
• Do not tilt the projector more than 5°.
■ Position the screen so that it is not in direct sunlight or room light. Light falling directly onto the screen washes out
colors, making viewing difficult. Close the curtains and dim the lights when using the screen in a bright or sunny
room.
■ The best picture will be obtained when the projector is at a 90 degree angle to the screen. Position the projector
and screen as shown on the previous page.

Example of a standard setup
■Using the horizontal reverse function makes the following setups possible.
Example of a reversed image setup
• By placing a mirror (normal flat type) in front of the lens and using the horizontal reverse function, the image
reflected from the mirror can be projected onto the screen.
• Rear projection with a rear projection screen is also possible when using the horizontal reverse function.
