To	ensure	safe	operation,	please	observe	the	following	precautions	:
	●	 Use	two	(2)	 AAA	or	LR03	type	alkaline	batteries.
	●	 Always	replace	batteries	in	sets.
	●	 Do	not	use	a	new	battery	with	a	used	battery.
	●	 Avoid	contact	with	water	or	liquid.
	●	 Do	not	expose	the	remote	control	to	moisture	or	heat.
	●	 Do	not	drop	the	remote	control.
	●	 If	the	battery	has	leaked	on	the	remote	control,	carefully	wipe	the	case	clean	and	install	new	batteries.
	●	 Risk	of	an	explosion	if	battery	is	replaced	by	an	incorrect	type.	
	●	 Dispose	of	used	batteries	according	to	the	instructions	or	your	local	disposal	rule	or	guidelines.

Installation
Connecting the AC Power Cord
This	projector	 uses	nominal	 input	voltages	 of	100-120	 V	or	
200–240	 V	AC	 and	 it	automatically	 selects	the	correct	 input	
voltage. 	It 	is 	designed 	to 	work 	with 	single-phase 	power	
systems 	having 	a 	grounded 	neutral 	conductor. 	To 	reduce	
the	 risk	 of	electrical	 shock,	do	not	 plug	 into	any	other	 type	of	
power	system.
If	you 	are 	not 	sure 	of 	the 	type 	of 	power 	being 	supplied,	
consult	your	authorized	dealer	or	service	station.
Connect 	the 	projector 	with 	all 	peripheral 	equipment 	before	
turning	the	projector	on.
Note:
					Unplug	the	 AC	power	cord	when	the	projector	is	not	
					in	use.		When	this	projector	is	connected	to	an	outlet
					with	the	AC	power	cord,	it	is	in	Stand-by	mode	and
					consumes	a	little	electric	power.
To	the	AC	outlet.
(200 - 240 V AC)
NOTE ON THE POwER CORD
AC	power	cord	must	meet	requirement	of	the	country	where	you	use	the	projector.
Confirm	the	 AC	plug	type	with	the	chart	below	and	proper	 AC	power	cord	must	be	used.

what is PIN code?
PIN	(Personal	Identification	Number)	code	is	a	security	
code	that	allows	the	person	who	knows	it	to	operate	the	
projector.	Setting	a	PIN	code	prevents	unauthorized	use	of	
the	projector.
A	PIN	code	consists	of	a	four-digit	number.	Refer	to	the	PIN	
code	lock	function	in	the	Setting	Menu	on	pages	53-54	for	
locking	operation	of	the	projector	with	your	PIN	code.
Enter a PIN code
Use	the	Point	▲▼	buttons	to	enter	a	number.	Press	the	
Point	◄	►	buttons	to	fix	the	number	and	move	the	red	
frame	pointer	to	the	next	box.	 The	number	changes	to	“”.	
If	you	fixed	an	incorrect	number,	use	the	Point	◄	►	buttons	
to	move	the	pointer	to	the	number	you	want	to	correct,	and	
then	enter	the	correct	number.
Repeat	this	step	to	complete	entering	a	four-digit	number.
After	entering	the	four-digit	number,	move	the	pointer	to	Set.	
Press	the	SELECT	button	so	that	you	can	start	to	operate	
the	projector.
If	you	entered	an	incorrect	PIN	code,	PIN code	and	the	
number	()	will	turn	red	for	a	moment.	Enter	the	
correct	PIN	code	all	over	again.
CAUTION ON HANDLING PIN CODE
If	you	forget	your	PIN	code,	the	projector	can	no	
longer	be	started.	Take	a	special	care	in	setting	
a	new	PIN	code;	write	down	the	number	in	a	
column	on	page	75	of	this	manual	and	keep	it	
on	hand.	Should	the	PIN	code	be	missing	or	
forgotten,	consult	your	dealer	or	service	center.
After	the	OK	icon	disappears,	
you	can	operate	the	projector.		
PIN Code Input Dialog Box
Note:
	 •	If	the	PIN	code	number	is	not	entered	within	three	
minutes	after	the	PIN	code	dialog	box	appeared,	the	
projector	will	be	turned	off	automatically.
	 •	The	“1234”	is	set	as	the	initial	PIN	code	at	the	factory.
Basic Operation 
						

							20
TO	MAINTAIN	THE	LIFE	OF	THE	LAMP,	ONCE	
YOU	TURN	 THE	PROJECTOR	ON,	WAIT 	AT 	
LEAST 	FIVE	MINUTES	BEFORE	 TURNING	IT	
OFF.
Power off?	disappears	after	4	seconds.
Turning Off the Projector
Press	the	ON/STAND-BY 	button	 on	the	 top	control	 or	
on	the	 remote	 control,	 and	Power off? appears	 on	the	
screen.
Press 	the 	ON/STAND-BY 	button 	again 	to 	turn 	off 	the	
projector.	 The	POWER	 indicator	 starts	to	blink	 red,	and	
the	cooling	 fans	keep	 running.	 (You	can	select	 the	level	
of	fans’ 	quietness	 and	speed.	 See	“Fan”	 on	page	 55.)	
At	this	 time,	 you	can	unplug	 the	AC	 power	 cord	even	 if	
the	fans	are	still	running.

3When 	the 	projector 	has 	cooled 	down 	enough, 	the	
POWER 	indicator 	stops 	blinking 	and 	you 	can 	turn 	on	
the	projector.	
Note:
	 •	When	 the	On	start	 function	 is	set	 to	On,	the	 projector	 will	
be	turned	 on	automatically	 by	connecting	 the	AC	 power	
cord	to	an	 AC	outlet	(p.50).
	 •	The	running 	speed	 of	cooling	 fans	is	changed	 according 	
to	the	temperature	inside	the	projector.
	 •	Do	not	put	the	projector	 in	a	case	 before	 the	projector	 is	
cooled	enough.
	 •	If	the	WARNING	indicator	blinks	or	lights	red,	see	
“WARNING	indicator”	on	page	58.
	 •	While	the	POWER	 indicator	 is	blinking,	 the	lamp	 is	being	
cooled	 down	and	the	projector	 cannot	be	turned	 on.	Wait	
until	 the	POWER	 indicator	 stops	blinking	 to	turn	 on	the	
projector	again.
		•	The 	fan 	rotation 	will 	terminate 	directly 	if 	the 	AC 	power	
cord 	is 	unplugged 	immediately 	after 	the 	projector 	is	
turned	off.
		•	The 	projector 	can 	be 	turned 	on 	after 	the 	POWER	
indicator 	turns 	red. 	The 	waiting 	time 	to 	restart 	will 	be	
shortened	when	the	normal	power-off	processing	for	fan	
	 	 cooling	 is	completed,	 compared	with	the	time	 the	AC	
power	 cord	is	immediately	 unplugged	after	the	power-
off.	
Basic Operation
DO	NOT 	OPERATE	 THE	PROJECTOR	
CONTINUOUSLY 	WITHOUT	REST.	
CONTINUOUS	USE	MAY 	RESULT	IN	
SHORTENING	 THE	LAMP	LIFE.	TURN	OFF	 THE	
PROJECTOR	 AND	LET	STAND	FOR	 ABOUT	AN	
HOUR	IN	EVERY 	24	HOURS.
