B Overview

Precautions

Safety

• Check that the operating voltage of your unit is identical with the voltage of your local power supply.

• Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it further.

• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be used for several days.

• To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

• The wall outlet should be near the unit and easily accessible.

• The unit is not disconnected to the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.

• Do not look into the lens while the lamp is on.

• Do not place your hand or objects near the ventilation holes. The air coming out is hot.

• Be careful not to get your fingers caught in the adjuster.

• Do not spread a cloth or paper under the unit.

Illumination

• To obtain the best picture, the front of the screen should not be exposed to direct lighting or sunlight.

• Ceiling-mounted spot lighting is recommended. Use a cover over fluorescent lamps to avoid lowering the contrast ratio.

• Cover any windows that face the screen with opaque draperies.

• It is desirable to install the unit in a room where floor and walls are not of lightreflecting material. If the floor and walls are of reflecting material, it is recommended that the carpet and wall paper be changed to a dark color.

Preventing internal heat build-up

After you turn off the power with the ?/1 key, do not disconnect the unit from the wall outlet while the cooling fan is still running.

Caution

The unit is equipped with ventilation holes (intake) and ventilation holes (exhaust). Do not block or place anything near these holes, or internal heat build-up may occur, causing picture degradation or damage to the projector.

Cleaning

• To keep the cabinet looking new, periodically clean it with a soft cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth lightly dampened with a mild detergent solution. Never use strong solvents, such as thinner, benzene, or abrasive cleansers, since these will damage the cabinet.

• Avoid touching the lens. To remove dust on the lens, use a soft dry cloth. Do not use a damp cloth, detergent solution, or thinner.

• Clean the filter at regular intervals.

LCD data projector

• This LCD data projector is manufactured using high-pre cision technology. You may, however, see tiny black points and/or bright points (red, blue, or green) that appear continuously on the LCD data projector. This is a normal result of the manufacturing process and does not indicate a malfunction

Overview

Precautions

Notes on Installation and Usage

Unsuitable Installation

Do not install the projector in the following situations. Installation is these situations

or locations may cause a malfunction or damage to the unit.

Poorly ventilated locations

• Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat build-up. Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the ventilation holes. When internal heat builds up due to blockage of ventilation holes, the temperature sensor will function, and the power will be turned off automatically.

• Leave space of more than 30 cm (11 inches) around the unit.

• Be careful not to allow the ventilation holes to inhale tiny objects such as pieces of paper or clumps of dust.

Hot and humid

• Avoid installing the unit in a location where the temperature or humidity is very high, or the temperature is very low.

• To avoid moisture condensation, do not install the unit in a location where the temperature may rise rapidly.

Locations subject to direct cool or warm air from an air-conditioner

Installing the projector in such a location may cause a malfunction of the unit due to moisture condensation or a rise in temperature.

Near a heat or smoke sensor

Notes on Installation and Usage

Malfunction of the sensor may occur.

Very dusty, extremely smoky locations

Avoid installing the unit in a very dusty or extremely smoky environment. Otherwise, the air filter will become obstructed, and this may cause a malfunction of the unit or damage it. Dust preventing the air passing through the filter may cause a rise in the internal temperature of the unit. Clean the filter periodically.

Unsuitable Conditions

Do not use the projector under the following conditions.

Standing the unit upright on one side

Avoid using the unit standing upright on its side. It may cause malfunction.

Blocking the ventilation holes

Overview

Avoid using a thick-piled carpet or anything that covers the ventilation holes (exhaust/ intake); otherwise, internal heat may build up.

Placing a blocking object just in front of the lens

Do not place any object just in front of the lens that may block the light during projection. Heat from the light may damage the object. Use the PIC MUTING key on the Remote Commander to cut off the picture.

Usage at High Altitude

When using the projector at an altitude of 1,500 m or higher, turn on “High Altitude Mode” in the INSTALL SETTING menu. Failing to set this mode when using the projector at high altitudes could have adverse effects, such as reducing the reliability of certain components.

Tilting the unit to the right or left

Avoid tilting the unit to an angle of 15°, and avoid installing the unit in any way other than placing it on a level surface or suspending from the ceiling. Such an installation may cause color shading or shorten the lamp life excessively.

Note on the screen

When using a screen with an uneven surface, a striped pattern may rarely appear on the screen depending on the distance between the screen and the projector or the zooming magnification settings used. This is not a malfunction of the projector.

About the Preset Memory No.

This projector has 45 types of preset data for input signals (the preset memory). When a preset signal is input, the projector automatically detects the signal type and recalls the data for the signal from the preset memory to adjust it to an optimum picture. The memory number and signal type of that signal are displayed on the INFORMATION menu (See page 34). You can also adjust the preset data through the INPUT SETTING menu. This projector has 20 types of user memories for Input-A into which you can save the setting of the adjusted data for an unpreset input signal. When an unpreset signal is input for the first time, a memory number is displayed as 0. When you adjust the data of the signal using the INPUT SETTING menu, it will be registered in the projector. If more than 20 user memory items are registered, the newest memory always overwrites the oldest one.
