undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined
by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the

Safety instructions
Read all of these instructions before you operate your projector and save for future
reference.
1. Read instructions
All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the appliance is
operated.
2. Notes and warnings
All notes and warnings in the operating instructions should be adhered to.
3. Cleaning
Unplug the projector from the wall socket before cleaning. Use a damp cloth for
cleaning the projector housing. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
4. Accessories
Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall,
causing serious damage to the product.
Keep the plastic packing materials (from the projector, accessories and optional
parts) out of the reach of children as these bags may result in death by suffocation.
Be particularly careful around the small children.
5. Ventilation
The projector is equipped with ventilation holes (intake) and ventilation holes
(exhaust).
Do not block or place anything near these slots, or internal heat build-up may
occur, causing picture degradation or damage to the projector.
6. Power sources
Check that the operating voltage of your unit is identical with the voltage of your
local power supply.
7. Servicing
Do not attempt to service this projector yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified
service personnel.
8. Replacement parts
When replacement parts are required, be sure that the replacement parts are
specified by the manufacture. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric
shock or other hazards.
9. Moisture Condensation
Never operate this projector immediately after moving it from a cold location to a
warm one. When the projector is exposed to such a change in temperature,
moisture may condense on the lens and the crucial internal parts. To prevent the
unit from possible damage, do not use the projector for at least 2 hours when there
is an extreme or sudden change in temperature.
ii
Notes on the AC power cord
AC Power Cord must meet the requirement of countries where you use this projector.
Please confirm your AC plug type with the graphics below and ensure that the proper
AC Power Cord is used. If the supplied AC Power Cord does not match your AC
outlet, please contact your sales dealer. This projector is equipped with a grounding
type AC line plug. Please ensure that your outlet fits the plug. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of this grounding type plug. We highly recommend using a video source
device also equipped with a grounding type AC line plug to prevent signal interference
due to voltage fluctuations.

mouse related multi-function keys.
Remote control code
The projector can be assigned to 8 different remote control
codes, 1 to 8. When several adjacent projectors are in
operation at the same time, switching the remote control
codes can prevent interference from other remote
controls. Set the remote control code for the projector first
before changing that for the remote control.
To switch the code for the projector, select from among 1
to 8 in the SYSTEM SETTING: ADVANCED > Remote
Control Code menu.
10
To switch the code for the remote control, press ID set and the corresponding button
from 1 to 8 buttons on the remote control together for 5 seconds or more. The initial
code is set to1. When the code is switched to 8, the remote control can control every
projector.
Note
• If different codes are set on the projector and remote control, there will be no response
from the remote control. When that happens, switch the code for the remote control
again.

• In the connections shown above, some cables may not be included with the projector
(see "Package contents" on page 2). They are commercially available from electronics
stores.
• The connection illustrations above are for reference only. The rear connecting jacks
available on the projector vary with each projector model.
• For detailed connection methods, see pages 15-17.

Connecting a computer or monitor
Connecting a computer
The projector provides two VGA input sockets that allow you to connect them to both
IBM® compatibles and Macintosh® computers. A Mac adapter is needed if you are
connecting legacy version Macintosh computers.
To connect the projector to a notebook or desktop 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 1 or COMPUTER
IN 2 signal input socket on the projector.
Important
• Many notebooks do not turn on their external video ports when connected to a
