 ●	 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.

Remote Control Code
The	two	different	remote	control	codes	(Code 1 -	Code 2)	are	assigned	to	this	projector.	Switching	the	remote	
control	codes	prevents	interference	from	other	remote	controls	when	several	projectors	or	video	equipment	
next	to	each	other	are	operated	at	the	same	time.	Change	the	remote	control	code	for	the	projector	first	before	
changing	that	for	the	remote	control.	See	"Remote	control"	in	the	Setting	Menu	on	page	54.
Press	and	hold	the	MENU	and	IMAGE	buttons	for	more	
than	five	seconds	to	switch	between	the	Code 1 and Code

Positioning the Projector
For	projector	 positioning,	 see	the	figures	 below.	The	projector	 should	be	set	 perpendicularly	 to	the	 plane	 of	the	
screen.	 The	projector	will	focus	at	distance	from	2.09'	to	3.93'	(63.6	cm	to	119.7	cm).
Installation
Note:
  • This	projector	is	not	equipped	with	an	optical	zoom.	 To	adjust	the	screen	size,	change	the	throw	distance.
	 •	The	brightness 	in 	the 	room 	has 	a 	great 	influence 	on 	picture 	quality. 	It 	is 	recommended 	to 	limit 	ambient	
lighting	in	order	to	obtain	the	best	image.
	 •	All	measurements	are	approximate	and	may	vary	from	the	actual	sizes.
Adjustable	Feet
Projection	angle	can	be	adjusted	up	to	10.0	degrees	with	the	
adjustable	feet.	
Rotate	the	adjustable	feet	and	tilt	the	projector	to	the	proper	
height;	to	raise	the	projector,	rotate	the	both	feet	clockwise.
To	lower	the	projector	or	to	retract	the	adjustable	feet,	rotate	
the	both	feet	counterclockwise.
To	correct	keystone	distortion,	press	the	KEYSTONE	
button	on	the	remote	control	or	on	the	top	control	or	select	
Keystone	from	the	menu	(see	pages	23,	46).

Installation
Connecting the AC Power Cord
This	projector	uses	nominal	input	voltages	of	100-240	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	center.
Connect	the	projector	with	all	peripheral	equipment	before	
turning	it	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.
Connect	the	 AC	power	cord

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	55-56	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	►	button	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	◄	button	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	76	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
Basic Operation
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.

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	remote	control	
or	on	the	top	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	 57.)	
At	this	 time,	 you	can	unplug	 the	AC	 power	 cord	even	 if	
the	fans	are	still	running.

When	the	projector	has	cooled	down	enough,	the	
POWER	indicator	stops	blinking	and	you	can	turn	on	
the	projector.	
Note:
	 •	When	the	Direct	on	function	is	set	to	On,	the	projector	
will	be	turned	on	automatically	by	connecting	the	 AC	
power	cord	to	an	AC	outlet.		(p.	52)
	 •	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	60.
	 •	While	the	POWER	indicator	is	blinking,	the	lamp	is	
being	cooled	down	and	the	projector	can	not	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.	
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.
Basic Operation
You	can	disconnect	the	power	cord	from	the	
wall	outlet	or	turn	off	the	breaker	even	during	
projection	without	pressing	the	ON/STAND-BY 	
button.
Note:
•	When	using	the	Direct	OFF	function,	you	
cannot	restart	the	projector	immediately	after	
the	power	is	disconnected.	If	the	external	
power	supply	is	suddenly	cut	off,	the	fans	
stop	immediately.	The	lamp	remains	high	
temperature	and	needs	to	be	cooled.
Direct OFF Function
