Operation of the Remote Control
• Please use the remote control within a range of about 7 m from the remote control IR sensor of the projector (located at both 
the  front  and  rear)  and  within  an  angle  of  10  degrees  to  the  left  and  10  degrees  to  the  right.  Note  that  this  distance  may  be 
shorter depending on battery consumption.
• The remote control will not function when there is an obstacle located between the remote control and the remote control IR 
sensor of the projector.
Battery Replacement
1
Insert  the  battery  with  the  +  side  facing  up  as  illus-
trated on the inside of the case.
Firmly  hold  the  remote  control  with  your  hand  and 
insert the tip of a ballpoint pen or some other pointed 
object into the hole on the rear side.
Note that there is the risk of scratching the case when 
using a pointed item such as an awl.
Slide  the  battery  holder  toward  you  by  pressing  from 
above with the pointed item, then remove the holder.

3
Return the battery holder to its original state.4
Before Using the Projector
An insulation sheet has been inserted for protection during transportation prior 
to shipping. Please pull out and remove the sheet before use.
Insulation sheet
Handling of the Remote Control
• Do not subject the remote control to a strong shock such as dropping it from a table. Doing so could 
damage it and render it inoperable.
• Do not expose it to water or other liquid. If the remote control becomes wet, wipe it dry immediately.
• Avoid exposure to heat and steam. Remove the coin-type lithium battery when the remote control will 
not be used for an extended period.
• Do not disassemble or heat the coin-type lithium battery, nor throw it into a fire.
• Please follow the disposal method of your region in disposing of the used coin-type lithium battery.
• The  remote  control  may  fail  to  operate  or  performance  may  worsen  when  it  is  used  near  an  inverter 
type fluorescent lamp.
• Please store the coin-type lithium battery in a place that is out of the reach of children. If the battery is 
swallowed, promptly seek the care of a doctor.
• Please handle the remote control with care, since there are some operations available only with it.
CAUTION
NOTE: When it is time to replace the battery, please purchase a CR2025 coin-type lithium battery. The use of batteries having a 
different shape such as the CR2032 may make removal difficult.

Please  use  the  following  diagrams  to  determine  the  screen  display  size  and  the  type  of  screen  required  for  any 
given projector location.
Projection distances that will be in focus will be 1.3 m (4.3 feet) to 11 m (36 feet) from the front of the lens. Please 
arrange the setup within this range.

Setup Location
• Do not place the projector in locations that will reach high temperatures or low temperatures.
 Operation ambient temperature: 0°C (32°F) to 35°C (95°F)
• Set  the  screen  so  that  it  is  not  exposed  to  direct  sunlight  or  the  light  of  direct  illumination.  When 
light hits the screen, the screen show a white cast and will be difficult to watch.
 In  a  bright  room,  the  curtains  should  be  drawn  or  blinds  closed  and  the  area  around  the  screen 
kept dark.
• Do  not  set  up  the  projector  in  locations  exposed  to  dampness,  dust,  greasy  smoke  or  tobacco 
smoke.
 Doing so will result in the adhesion of dirt to lenses, mirrors, and other optical parts and cause a 
degradation of image quality.
• Do not place the projector in a location where the ventilation vents will be blocked or in closed ar-
eas having poor ventilation. Doing so will cause the temperature to rise and could cause a fire or 
accident. (The exhaust vents are at the front of the projector and the air intake vents are located 
at the side.)

NOTE:
•  After connecting the PC connection cable, set the external output and the computer’s screen display settings on the computer.
•  When the settings of the external output have not been made, "No signal being input" will be displayed.
• When a condition in which a signal has not been input continues for 15 minutes or longer, the lamp is turned off automatically.
 (This only functions when the auto power off mode is set to “ON”. See page E-40.)

Connection Precautions
• To protect this projector and the equipment to be connected, switch off the power of each unit be-
fore making connections.
• Please  read  the  various  equipment  instruction  manuals  for  information  about  the  connection  of 
the equipment and the method of use.
• When  connection  is  made  with  a  notebook  computer  and  the  image  is  displayed  on  the  LCD 
screen  of  the  notebook  computer,  a  proper  display  might  not  be  obtained  on  projection  screen. 
Switching  off  the  display  of  the  notebook  computer  will  result  in  a  proper  display.  The  method  of 
switching off the display of the notebook computer will differ depending on the PC manufacturer. 
Please read the instruction manual of the notebook computer for details.
• Connection might not be possibly depending on the model and settings of the personal computer. 
Please contact your dealer of purchase for further information.

Connecting Macintosh Computers
•  When the monitor output is set to the VGA port (mini D-SUB 15-pin), mount the PC connection cable included with the main unit.
•  An optional Apple video adapter cable is required when the monitor output is a video port or DVI port.
• Please do not make a USB connection because iP Viewer* does not support the Macintosh.
 * The iP Viewer function is only available on the iP-30SE.
NOTE: The  RGB  (15-pin)  input  connector  of  the  projector  is  of  the  analog  type.  This  cannot  be  connected  with  a  digital  output 
type of personal computer.

Connections with the Personal Computer
Please check the matters described below when the image of the personal computer is not projected or when there 
is projection but the image is not correct.
● The image is not projected
When the external output signal from the personal computer is not input to the iP-30, "No signal being input" is displayed on the 
display screen of the iP-30. Should this occur, please check the following matters.
1 Try restarting the personal computer.
  When  the  iP-30  is  connected  after  the  personal  computer  has  been  started,  the  connection  of  the  iP-30  might  not  be  rec-
ognized  by  the  personal  computer.  When  the  iP-30  has  not  been  recognized,  the  external  output  signal  from  the  personal 
computer will not be output and there will not be an image to project.
2 Check the functions of the personal computer.
  Depending on the notebook computer, some computers will require an operation to output a signal from the external output 
connector. If this operation is not performed, the external output signal from the notebook computer will not be output.
 Please  see  the  instruction  manual  of  the  notebook  computer  you  are  using  and  perform  the  operation  that  will  output  the 
signal from the external output connector.
(Operation Example)
IBM PC/AT and DOS/V computers:
Press the [Fn] key + "any one of the [F1] to [F12] keys (noting that the operation will differ depending on the model)"
PC98 notebook computers later than the Nr Series (with the exception of the PC-98NX):
Press the "Suspend Resume" switch.

When the Image of the Personal Computer Screen Is Not Projected
● The screen of the personal computer is correct, but the image is not projected properly
Please check the functions of the personal computer.
Even  though  the  LCD  screen  of  the  notebook  computer  is  properly  displayed,  the  projected  image  might  not  be  projected 
properly.  Due  to  restrictions  of  the  notebook  computer  there  will  rarely  be  instances  in  which  the  setting  of  a  simultaneous 
display (i.e., simultaneous output of the external output signal while displaying the screen of the personal computer) will re-
sult in a signal that greatly deviates from the range supported by the iP-30 and proper projection will not be possible.
Should this occur, a proper image will not be obtained even when adjustments are made with the iP-30.
In  some  instances,  the  personal  computer  screen  will  be  properly  projected  by  the  iP-30  when  the  simultaneous  display  is 
cancelled and an operation is performed to output only the external output signal. Please see the instruction manual of the 
notebook computer you are using for details.

• When the resolution of the input signal is lower than 1024  768 dots, the image is enlarged and displayed; if the resolution 
is higher than 1024  768 dots, the image is reduced and displayed.
• The  signals  above  marked  with  (*)  may  not  display  properly  when  full  keystone  correction  is  applied.  When  using  these  sig-
