3. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

4. Always open the lens shutter or remove the lens cap when the projector light source is on.

5. In some countries, the line voltage is NOT stable. This projector is designed to operate safely within a mains voltage between 100 to 240 volts AC, but could fail if power cuts or surges of ±10 volts occur. In areas where the mains voltage may fluctuate

or cut out, it is recommended that you connect your projector through a power stabilizer, surge protector or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

6. Do not block the projection lens with any objects when the projector is under operation as this could cause the objects to become heated and deformed or even cause a fire. To temporarily turn off the light source, press BLANK on the remote control.

7. Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall, sustaining serious damage.

8. Do not attempt to disassemble this projector. There are dangerous high voltages inside which may cause death if you should come into contact with live parts.

Under no circumstances should you ever undo or remove any other covers. Refer servicing only to suitably qualified professional service personnel.

9. Do not place this projector in any of the following environments.

- Space that is poorly ventilated or confined. Allow at least 50 cm clearance from walls and free flow of air around the projector.

- Locations where temperatures may become excessively high, such as the inside of a car with all windows rolled up.

- Locations where excessive humidity, dust, or cigarette smoke may contaminate optical components, shortening the projector's life span and darkening the picture.

- Locations near fire alarms

- Locations with an ambient temperature above 40°C / 104°F

- Locations where the altitudes are higher than 3000 m (10000 feet).

13. Do not place liquids near or on the projector. Liquids spilled into the projector may cause it to fail. If the projector does become wet, disconnect it from the power supply's wall socket and call your local service center to have the projector serviced.

14. This product is capable of displaying inverted pictures for ceiling mount installation.

Use only qualified ceiling mount kit for mounting the projector and ensure it is securely installed.

15. When the projector is under operation, you may sense some heated air and odor from its ventilation grill. It is a normal phenomenon and not a product defect.

16. Do not use the Security bar for transporting or installation. It should be used with a commercially available theft prevention cable.

Safety instructions for ceiling mounting of the projector

We want you to have a pleasant experience using your projector, so we need to bring this safety matter to your attention to prevent damage to person and property.

If you intend to mount your projector on the ceiling, we strongly recommend that you use a proper fitting projector ceiling mount kit and that you ensure it is securely and safely installed.

If you use an inappropriate projector ceiling mount kit, there is a safety risk that the projector may fall from the ceiling due to an improper attachment through the use of the wrong gauge or length screws.

You can purchase a projector ceiling mount kit from the place you purchased your projector. We recommend that you also purchase a separate security cable and attach it securely to both the anti-theft lock slot on the projector and the base of the ceiling mount bracket. This will perform the secondary role of restraining the projector should its attachment to the mounting bracket become loose.

As with any bright light source, do not stare into the beam, RG2 IEC 62471-5:2015.

Connecting a computer or a monitor

Connecting a computer

1. Take the supplied VGA cable and connect one end to the D-Sub output socket of the computer.

2. Connect the other end of the VGA cable to the COMPUTER IN signal input socket on the projector.

Many notebooks do not turn on their external video ports when connected to a projector. Usually a key combo like FN + F3 or CRT/LCD key turns the external display on/off. Locate a function key labeled CRT/LCD or a function key with a monitor symbol on the notebook. Press FN and the labeled function key simultaneously. Refer to your notebook's documentation to find your notebook's key combination.

Connecting a monitor

If you want to view your presentation close-up on a monitor as well as on the screen, you can connect the MONITOR OUT signal output socket on the projector to an external monitor with a VGA cable following the instructions below:

1. Connect the projector to a computer as described in "Connecting a computer" on page

20.

2. Take a suitable VGA cable (only one supplied) and connect one end of the cable to the D-Sub input socket of the video monitor.

Or if your monitor is equipped with a DVI input socket, take a VGA to DVI-A cable and connect the DVI end of the cable to the DVI input socket of the video monitor.

3. Connect the other end of the cable to the MONITOR OUT socket on the projector.

The MONITOR OUT output only works when COMPUTER IN connection is made to the projector.

To use this connection method when the projector is in standby mode, turn on the Active VGA Out function under the SOURCE > Standby Settings menu.

Connecting Video source devices

You can connect your projector to various Video source devices that provide any one of the following output sockets:

• HDMI

• Component Video

• Video (composite)

You need only connect the projector to a Video source device using just one of the above connecting methods, however each provides a different level of video quality. The method you choose will most likely depend upon the availability of matching terminals on both the projector and the Video source device as described below:

Best video quality

The best available video connection method is HDMI. If your source device is equipped with an HDMI socket, you can enjoy uncompressed digital video quality.

See "Connecting an HDMI device" on page 21 for how to connect the projector to an HDMI source device and other details.

If no HDMI source is available, the next best video signal is Component video (not to be confused with composite video). Digital TV tuner and DVD players output Component

video natively, so if available on your devices, this should be your connection method of choice in preference to (composite) video.

See "Connecting a Component Video source device" on page 22 for how to connect the projector to a component video device.

Least video quality

Composite Video is an analog video and will result in a perfectly acceptable, but less than optimal result from your projector, being the least video quality of the available methods described here.

See "Connecting a composite Video source device" on page 23 for how to connect the projector to a composite Video device.

Connecting audio

The projector has built-in stereo speaker(s) which is designed to provide basic audio functionality accompanying data presentations for business purposes only. It is not designed for, nor intended for stereo audio reproduction use as might be expected in home theater or home cinema applications.

If you wish, you can make use of the projector speaker in your presentations, and also connect separate amplified speakers to the Audio Out socket of the projector. The audio output is a stereo signal and controlled by the projector Volume and Mute settings.

If you have a separate sound system, you will most likely want to connect the audio output of your Video source device to that sound system, instead of to the stereo audio projector.

Connecting an HDMI device

You should use an HDMI cable when making connection between the projector and HDMI devices.

1. Take an HDMI cable and connect one end to the HDMI output port of the video device.

2. Connect the other end of the cable to the HDMI input port on the projector.

In the unlikely event that you connect the projector to a DVD player via the projector’s HDMI input and the projected picture displays wrong colors, please change the color space to YUV. See "Changing HDMI input settings" on page 28 for details.

The projector is capable of playing stereo audio. See "Connecting audio" on page 21 for details.

Connecting a HDBaseT device

HDBaseT is a technology to transmit image signal use LAN function, RS-232 function and IR function through a LAN cable.

Connect Cat5e/Cat6 cable from HDBaseT TX Box for HDBaseT signal received. Video Signal - Connect it to HDBaseT output equipment (Such as high-definition TV

source, Blu-ray Player....etc).

LAN Function - Key in the correct IP Address or the computer host name which is the same as the projector’s host name, then you can remote control the projector by internet.

RS-232 Function: When the projector connects to HDBaseT by RS-232 communication, the projector can be controlled with RS-232 commands from the computer. For details of RS232 commands, refer to RS-232 Communication command table.

Please turn On the HDBaseT from Network Settigs and HDBaseT channel from RS232 settings in the OSD menu when using LAN function / RS232 function.

LAN port and RS-232C port are disabled when Network Settigs to the HDBaseT and RS232 settings to HDBaseT channel.

Use LAN cables of up to 100m long. Exceeding this length, the image will be deteriorated, and can experience malfunction on LAN transmission.

HDBaseT BEST PRACTICE: i. When In Doubt, Use Shielded Cat6 With Shielded Plugs. ii. Use Proper Grounding. iii.Isolate HDBaseT Cat Cables from Other Signal Types.

Connecting a Component Video source device

Examine your Video source device to determine if it has a set of unused Component Video output sockets available:

• If so, you can continue with this procedure.

• If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to the device.

1. Take a VGA (D-Sub)-Component adaptor cable and connect the end with 3 RCA type connectors to the Component Video output sockets of the Video source device. Match the color of the plugs to the color of the sockets; green to green, blue to blue, and red to red.

2. Connect the other end of the VGA (D-Sub)-Component adaptor cable (with a D-Sub type connector) to the COMPUTER IN socket on the projector.

If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on and the correct video source has been selected, check that the Video source device is turned on and operating correctly. Also check that the signal cables have been connected correctly.

Connecting a composite Video source device

Examine your Video source device to determine if it has a set of unused composite Video output sockets available:

• If so, you can continue with this procedure.

• If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to the device.

1. Take a Video cable and connect one end to the composite Video output socket of the Video source device.

2. Connect the other end of the Video cable to the VIDEO socket on the projector.

You need only connect to this device using a composite Video connection if Component Video input is unavailable for use. See "Connecting Video source devices" on page 20 for details.

Connecting a 3D Sync

Connect to 3D IR glasses transmitter unit.

Playing sound through the projector

You can make use of the projector speaker in your presentations, and also connect separate amplified speakers to the AUDIO OUT socket of the projector.

If you have a separate sound system, you will most likely want to connect the audio output of your Video source device to that sound system, instead of to the audio projector.

Once connected, the audio can be controlled by the projector On-Screen Display (OSD) menus. See "Adjusting the sound" on page 42 for details.

About the microphone input

• If you wish to use a microphone, connect a 3.5 mini jack cable microphone to the

projector.

• There are one way to adjust microphone volumes.

• Directly set microphone volume levels in the Basic > Audio Setting >

Microphone Volume menu.

• Set projector volume levels in the Basic > Audio Setting > Audio Volume menu,

or press or on the remote control. (The projector volume setting will affect the microphone volume.)

• To make the microphone input available when the projector is in standby mode, turn on

the Basic > Audio Setting > Microphone menu.

• If the microphone is not working, check the volume setting and cable connection.

• You might get feedback noise from the microphone when you are too close to the

speaker of the projector. Move the microphone away from the speaker of the projector. The greater volume you require, the greater distance you need to be away from the Speaker to prevent the noise.
