							Operation 31
Remote paging operations
Connect the projector to your PC or notebook with a USB cable prior to using the paging 
function. See Connection on page 15 for details.
You can operate your display software program (on a connected PC) which responds to page 
up/down commands (like Microsoft PowerPoint) by pressing PAGE UP/PAGE DOWN on 
the remote control.
If remote paging function doesnt work, check if the USB connection is correctly made and 
the mouse driver on your computer is updated to the latest version.
The remote paging function cannot work with Microsoft® Windows®98 operating system. 
Windows®XP or higher operating systems are recommended.
Freezing the image
Press  Freeze on the remote control to freeze the image. The word “FREEZE” will display 
in the upper left corner of the screen. To release the function, press any key on the projector 
or remote control.
Even if an image is frozen on the screen, the pictures are running on the video or other 
device. If the connected devices have active audio output, you will still hear the audio even 
though the image is frozen onscreen.
Hiding the image
In order to draw the audiences full attention to the presenter, you can use BLANK on the 
projector or remote control to hide the screen image. The word “BLANK” appears in the 
corner of the screen while the image is hidden. When this function is activated with an audio 
input connected, the audio can still be heard. 
You can set the blank time in the 
SYSTEM SETUP: Basic > Operation Settings > Blank 
Timer menu to let the projector return the image automatically after a period of time when 
there is no action taken on the blank screen. The length of time can be set from 5 to 30 
minutes in 5-minute increments.
If the preset time spans are not suitable for your presentation, select Disable.
No matter 
Blank Timer is activated or not, you can press most of the keys on the projector 
or remote control to restore the picture.
Do not block the projection lens from projecting as this could cause the blocking object to 
become heated and deformed or even cause a fire.

Operating in a high altitude environment
We recommend you use the High Altitude Mode when your environment is between 1500 m 
–3000 m above sea level, and ambient temperature is between 0°C–35°C.
Do not use the High Altitude Mode if your altitude is between 0 m and 1500 m and ambient 
temperature is between 0°C and 35°C. The projector will be over cooled, if you turn the mode 
on under such a condition.
To activate the High Altitude Mode:
1. Press MENU/EXIT and then press  /  until the SYSTEM SETUP: Advanced menu 
is highlighted.
2. Press  to highlight High Altitude Mode and press  /  select On. A confirmation 
message displays.
3. Highlight Ye s and press MODE/ENTER.
Operation under High Altitude Mode may cause a higher decibel operating noise level 
because of increased fan speed necessary to improve overall system cooling and 
performance.
If you use this projector under other extreme conditions excluding the above, it may display 
auto shut-down symptoms, which is designed to protect your projector from over-heating. 
In cases like this, you should switch to High Altitude mode to solve these symptoms. 
However, this is not to state that this projector can operate under any and all harsh or 
extreme conditions.
