Important:
1. Avoid using the projector with bright fluorescent lighting turned on. Certain high-frequency fluores-
cent lights can disrupt remote control operation.
2. Be sure nothing obstructs the path between the remote control and the projector. If the path between the remote control and the projector is obstructed, you can bounce the signal off certain
reflective surfaces such as projector screens.
3. The buttons and keys on the projector have the same functions as the corresponding buttons on
the remote control. This user’s manual describes the functions based on the remote control.

Remote Control Operating Range
The remote control uses infrared transmission to control the projector. It is not necessary to point the
remote directly at the projector. Provided you are not holding the remote perpendicular to the sides or
the rear of the projector, the remote will function well within a radius of about 7 meters (23 feet) and
15 degrees above or below the projector level. If the projector does not respond to the remote control,
move a little closer.
Projector and Remote Control Buttons
The projector can be operated using the remote control or the buttons on the top of the projector. All
operations can be carried out with the remote control; however, the buttons on the projector are limited in use. The following illustration shows the corresponding buttons on the remote control and on
the projector.

Installing or Removing the Optional Lens
Caution:
Do not shake or place excessive pressure on the projector or the lens components as the projector
and lens components contain precision parts.
When shipping the projector with the optional lens, remove the optional lens before shipping the
projector. The lens and the lens shift mechanism may encounter damage caused by improper handling during transportation.
Before removing or installing the lens, be sure to turn off the projector, wait until the cooling fans
stop, and turn off the main power switch.
Do not touch the lens surface when removing or installing the lens.
Keep fingerprints, dust or oil off the lens surface. Do not scratch the lens surface.
Work on a level surface with a soft cloth under it to avoid scratching.
If you remove and store the lens, attach the lens cap to the projector to keep off dust and dirt.
Removing the Existing Lens From the Projector
Pull out the lens cap.

Throw Distance and Screen Size
Example of GB940G:
The further your projector is from the screen or wall, the larger the image. The minimum size the image can be is approximately 40 inches (1 m) measured diagonally when the projector is roughly 65
inches (1.7 m) from the wall or screen. The largest the image can be is 500 inches (12.7 m) when the
projector is about 843 inches (21.4 m) from the wall or screen.

Caution:
Ceiling installation must be done by a qualified professional. Contact your dealer for more informa-
tion. It is not recommended you install the projector yourself.
Only use the projector on a solid, level surface. Serious injury and damage can occur if the projec-
tor is dropped.
Do not use the projector in an environment where extreme temperature occurs. The projector must
be used at temperatures between 41 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius) and 104 degrees
Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius).
Screen damage will occur if the projector is exposed to moisture, dust or smoke.
Do not cover the vents on the projector. Proper ventilation is required to dissipate heat. Damage to
the projector will occur if the vents are covered.

Making Connections
Connecting Your PC or Macintosh Computer
Enabling the computer’s external display:
Displaying an image on the notebook PC’s screen does not necessarily mean it outputs a signal to
the projector. When using a PC compatible laptop, a combination of function keys will enable/disable
the external display. Usually, the combination of the Fn-key along with one of the 12 function keys
activates the external display.
To connect a PC or Macintosh computer to the projector, refer to the following guide.
1. Connect a computer to the projector through one of the three available input data connections
before turning on the PC or the projector. The best signal order (from best to least suitable) is
as follows:
Computer 3 in (see Terminal Panel Features on page 5) is a digital signal and offers the
best connection to your computer.
Note:
The DVI (DIGITAL) connector (COMPUTER 3) accepts VGA (640 x 480), 1152 x 864,
XGA (1024 x 768), SXGA (1280 x 1024@up to 60Hz) and UXGA(1600 x 1200 @
60Hz).

Computer 2 in (see Terminal Panel Features on page 5) is an analog signal; use a DSUB-
15 cable-to-5BNC connection.
Computer 1 in as shown below (see Terminal Panel Features on page 5) is an analog sig-
nal that uses a standard RGB computer cable.
2. Turn on the projector and select the chosen method of connection from the source menu before turning on the PC (see Selecting an Input Source on page 23).
3. Turn on the PC.
