with a projector which 
causes it to suddenly stop 
working, it may not be 
possible for the projector to 
send a message.
If Standby Mode is set to 
Communication ON in 
the Extended menu, the 
projector can still be 
monitored even if the 
projector is in standby mode 
(when the power is off).

to allow the projector to be detected by AMX Device Discovery.
8. When you’re done making these settings, press 
Esc. Choose

Using a Browser to Control the Projector
You can use a standard web browser to monitor and control the 
projector through the network. Because you can use your computer’s 
keyboard, you may find it easier to make network settings using your 
browser than using the projector’s remote control.
1. Make sure the projector is set up for your network, as described 
on page 86. (Standby Mode in the Extended menu should be set 
to 
Communication On to monitor the projector in standby 
mode.) When using a browser to access the projector, you cannot 
connect through a proxy server.
2. Open your web browser and enter the IP address of the projector 
you want to monitor in the browser window. 
If you’re not sure what the address of the projector is, turn the 
projector on and select 
Net. Info.-Wired LAN or Net. 
Info.-Wireless LAN
 from the Network menu to display the IP 
address of the projector. Do not enter the leading zeroes.

projector’s Network menu, enter your user name and password, 
then press 
Enter. You see a screen like the following:
4. Select one of the menu options listed on the screen, then change 
any of the settings as needed. These settings correspond to those

menu
■User’s Logo, High Altitude Mode, and Language in the 
Extended menu
■Reset All and Reset Lamp Hours in the Reset menu
■Password protection

Using Web Remote Control
When you access the projector through your browser, you can display 
a “virtual remote control” on your computer screen. This lets you 
change sources and perform many of the same functions as you can 
with the physical remote control.
From the Projector Control menu, select 
Web Remote. You see the 
following screen:
■The Power button turns the projector on and off.
■The Search button searches for signal sources (see page 43).
■The Computer button selects a computer signal (connected to the 
Computer1 or Computer2 port).
■The Video button selects a video signal (connected to the Video 
or 
S-Video port).
■The LAN button selects a network signal or wireless signal (using 
the optional wireless unit).
■The USB button selects USB computer display (see page 25) or a 
signal from equipment connected to the 
TypeA  (flat) USB 
port, such as a document camera (see page 37).
■The Pause button stops the image (see page 61).

Maintaining the Projector
Your projector needs little maintenance. All you have to do on a 
regular basis is clean the lens, and check that the air filter and vents are 
clean. A clogged air filter or vent can block ventilation needed to cool 
the projector.
The only parts you should replace are the lamp and air filter. If any 
other part needs replacing, contact your dealer or a qualified servicer.
This chapter covers the following:
■Cleaning the projection window
■Cleaning the projector case
■Cleaning the air filter
■Replacing the air filter
■Replacing the lamp
■Replacing the pen batteries
■Replacing the remote control batteries
■Transporting the projector
warning
Before you clean any part of 
the projector, turn it off and 
unplug the power cord. 
Never open any cover on the 
projector, except the lamp 
cover. Dangerous electrical 
voltages in the projector can 
injure you severely. Do not 
try to service this product 
yourself, except as specifically 
explained in this User’s 
Guide. Refer all other 
servicing to qualified service 
personnel. 
						

							110Maintaining the Projector
Cleaning the Projection Window
Clean the projection window whenever you notice dirt or dust on the 
surface.
To remove dirt or smears on the window, use a commercially available 
cloth for cleaning glasses.
Cleaning the Projector Case
Before cleaning, turn off the projector and unplug the power cord.
■To remove dirt or dust, wipe the case with a soft, dry, lint-free 
cloth.
■To remove stubborn dirt or stains, moisten a soft cloth with water 
and a neutral detergent and firmly wring the cloth dry. Then wipe 
the case.
caution
Do not rub the projection 
window with harsh 
materials or subject it to 
shocks, or you may damage 
the window.
Do not use wax, alcohol, 
benzene, paint thinner, or 
other chemical detergents. 
These can damage the case.
