General Safety Information
Do not open the unit case. Aside from the projection lamp, there are no user-serviceable parts in
the unit. For servicing, contact qualified service personnel.
Follow all warnings and cautions in this manual and on the unit case.
The projection lamp is extremely bright by design. To avoid damage to eyes, do not look into the
lens when the lamp is on.
Do not place the unit on an unstable surface, cart, or stand.
Avoid using the system near water, in direct sunlight, or near a heating device.
Do not place heavy objects such as books or bags on the unit.
ii
Projector Installation Notice
Place the projector in a horizontal position
The tilt angle of the projector should not exceed 15 degrees, nor should the projector be installed in any way other than the desktop and ceiling mount, otherwise lamp life could decrease dramatically.
Allow at least 50 cm clearance around the exhaust vent.
Preface
Ensure that the intake vents do not recycle hot air from the exhaust vent.
When operating the projector in an enclosed space, ensure that the surrounding air temperature
within the enclosure does not exceed 5 – 35°C while the projector is running, and the air intake and exhaust vents are unobstructed.
All enclosures should pass a certified thermal evaluation to ensure that the projector does not
recycle exhaust air, as this may cause the device to shutdown even if the enclosure temperature is with the acceptable 5 – 35°C range.

Power Safety
Only use the supplied power cord.
Do not place anything on the power cord. Place the power cord where it will not be in the way of
foot traffic.
Remove the batteries from the remote control when storing or not in use for a prolonged period.
Replacing the Lamp
Replacing the lamp can be hazardous if done incorrectly. See Replacing the Projection Lamp on page 42 for clear and safe instructions for this procedure. Before replacing the lamp:
Unplug the power cord.
Allow the lamp to cool for about one hour.
Caution:
In rare cases the lamp bulb may burn out during normal operation and cause glass dust or shards to be discharged outward from the rear exhaust vent.
Do not inhale or do not touch glass dust or shards. Doing so could result in injury.
Always keep your face away from the exhaust vent so that you do not suffer from the gas and bro­ken shards of the lamp.
Cleaning the Projector
Unplug the power cord before cleaning. See Cleaning the Projector page 45.
Allow the lamp to cool for about one hour.

DLP Projector – User’s Manual
Important:
1. Avoid using the projector with bright fluorescent lighting turned on. Certain high-frequency fluo-
rescent 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.
