Power connection

1. Remove the projector lens cap.

2. Plug the attached power cord into the AC power socket of this projector.

3. Plug the other end of the power cord into a power outlet.

Grounding
terminal

1

Power cord (example)

• The power cords for use in the U.S., UK and Europe are included with this projector. Use the

appropriate one for your country.

• This projector uses the power plug of three-pin grounding type. Do not remove the grounding

pin from the power plug. If the power plug doesn’t fit your wall outlet, ask an electrician to

change the wall outlet.

• The provided power cord for the U.S. is rated at 120 V. Never connect this cord to any outlet or

power supply using other voltages or frequencies than rated. If you use a power supply using

other voltage than rated, prepare an appropriate power cord separately.

• Use 100-240 V AC 50/60 Hz to prevent fire or electric shock.

• Do not place any objects on the power cord or do not place the projector near heat sources to

prevent damage to the power cord. If the power cord should be damaged, contact your dealer

for replacement because it may cause fire or electric shock.

• Do not modify or alter the power cord. If the power cord is modified or altered, it may cause fi

re or electric shock.

Caution:

• Plug in the power cord firmly. When unplugging, hold and pull the power plug, not the power cord.

• Do not plug in or out the power cord with your hand wet. It may cause electric shock.

Audio and Video Devices Connectivity Configuration

ViewSonic Pro8100 offers a full complementary video input connectivity - from the hi-tech HDMI

to the basic composite video.

There are vast possibilities of audio & video connectivity configurations user can choose from.

However the best setup combination relies on user’s equipments and using preferences.

Please seek professional advice for best matching setup. The video input type priority sequence is

listed below:

• HDMI •Component Video • S-Video • Composite Video

The illustration below shows some recommended setup configuration possibilities.

6

A. Using Home Theater System as hub

This setup is recommended if a highly sophisticated home theater system is available.

This setup offers a great ease on utility for user, since settings of both audio and video can be changed without manual matching.

Pros: Eliminate audio and video source matching between projector and audio amplifier. Increase number of connecting devices. Reduce cabling to the projector.

Cons: High cost.

B. Using Projector as hub

This setup is recommended for low to mid range home theater system.

When changing input source, both projector and home theater system’s remote controls need to be activated.

Projector and home theater system controls can be centralizing controlled by 3rd party‘s home appliances control system (Projector is via RS232).

Please seek professional advice for best suited type of home appliances control system.

Pros: Low budget.

Cons: It is required to match audio and video sources between projector and audio amplifier manually. Masses of routing cables need to be connected to projector.

ADVANCED OPERATION

Maintenance

The projector needs proper maintenance. You should keep the lens clean as dust, dirt or spots will

project on the screen and diminish image quality. If any other parts need replacing, contact your

dealer or qualified service personnel. When cleaning any part of the projector, always switch off

and unplug the projector first.

Warning:

Never open any of the covers on the projector. Dangerous electrical voltages inside the projector

can cause severe injury. Do not attempt to service this product yourself. Refer all servicing to

qualified service personnel.

Cleaning the Lens

Gently wipe the lens with Micro-fiber wiping cloth. Do not touch the lens with your hands.

Cleaning the Projector Housing

Gently wipe with a soft cloth. If dirt and stains are not easily removed, use a soft cloth damped

with water, or water and neutral detergent, and wipe dry with a soft, dry cloth.

Maintaining the Air Filter

The air filter, which is located at the back of the projector, should be replaced or cleaned when

warned by system either because 200 hours of use or rise of internal temperature. If it is not

cleaned periodically, it can become clogged with dust and prevent the projector from being

ventilated properly. This can cause over heating and damage the projector.

To clean the air filter:

1. Pull down the filter module cover.

2. Remove the filter module cover.

3. Remove the dirty filter directly.

4. Attach the clean air-filter.

5. Attach the filter cover to the projector.

Replacing the Air Filter

The air filter should be replaced when cleaning is ineffective contact an authorized service center

for the optional air filter.

« NOTE »

• Turn off the projector and remove the AC power cord from the power outlet before beginning

maintenance work.

• Make sure the lens is cool before cleaning.

• Do not use detergents or chemicals other than those noted above. Do not use benzene or

thinners.

• Do not use chemical sprays.

• Use a soft cloth or lens paper only.

42

Replacing the Lamp

Projector lamps have a finite life. Replace the lamp when:

• A warning message “Lamp is approaching the end of its useful life in full power operation.

Replacement suggested!” appears on the screen.

• The image becomes darker and hues become weaker after a lamp has been for a long period

of time.

• The projector lamp LED indicator turns into amber. Refer to section titled “LED Indicator Mes-

sages” for further details.

« NOTE »

• The lamp will remain in high temperature even after the projector’s power is turned off. Wait

for at least 45 minutes after power off to cool down the lamp. Touching the lamp prior proper

cool down time can cause skin scalding.

• Do not touch any glass portion of the lamp at any time. The lamp may explode due to

improper handling or grease generated from finger.

• Lamp lifetime may differ from lamp to lamp and according to the environment of use. There

is no guarantee of the same lifetime for each lamp. Some lamps may fail or terminate their

lifetime in a shorter period of time than other similar lamps.

• A lamp may explode as a result of vibration, shock or degradation as a result of hours of use

as its lifetime draws to an end. Risk of explosion may differ according to the environment or

conditions in which the projector and lamp are being used.

• Wear protective gloves and eyeglasses when fixing or detaching the lamp.

• Short on-off-cycles will damage the lamp and reduce lamp life. Wait at least for 7 minutes to

turn off the projector after powering on.

• Do not operate the lamp in proximity to paper, cloth, or other combustible material nor cover it

with such materials. Otherwise it could cause a fire.

• Do not operate the lamp in an atmosphere containing an inflammable substance, such as

thinner. Otherwise it could cause a fire or explosion.

• Thoroughly ventilate the area or the room when operating the lamp in an oxygen atmosphere (in

the air). If ozone is inhaled, it could cause headaches, nausea, dizziness, etc.

• The lamp contains inorganic mercury. If the lamp bursts, the mercury inside the lamp will go

out of the projector. Leave the area immediately if the lamp shatters while being operated and

ventilate the area for at least 30 minutes in order to avoid the inhalation of mercury fumes.

Otherwise it could be harmful to user’s health.

To replace the lamp:

1. Loosen the two screws of lamp cover.

2. Remove the lamp cover.

3. Loosen the two screws of lamp module.

4. Pull out the old lamp module by lamp handle.

5. Mount the new lamp.

6. Replace the lamp cover.

7. Reset the lamp timer.

« NOTE »

• Dispose of the used lamp according to local regulations.

• Ensure that screws are tightened properly. Screws not tightened fully may result in injury or

accidents.

• Since the lamp is made of glass, do not drop the unit and do not scratch the glass.

• Do not reuse the old lamp. This could cause the lamp to explode.

• Be sure to turn off the projector and unplug the AC power cord before replacing the lamp.

• Do not use the projector with the lamp cover removed.
