Important Information About Your PowerLite 7000Important Safety InformationWARNING: Never look into the projector lens when the lamp is turned on; the bright light can damage your eyes. Never let children look into the lens when it is on. Never open any cover on the projector, except the lamp and filter covers. Dangerous electrical voltages inside the projector can severely injure you. Except as specifically explained in this User’s Guide, do not attempt to service this product yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.WARNING: The PowerLite 7000 projector and its accessories come packaged in plastic bags. Keep plastic bags away from small children to avoid any risk of suffocation.Caution : When you replace the lamp, never touch the new lamp with your bare hands; the invisible residue left by the oil on your hands may shorten the lamp life. Use a cloth or glove to handle the new lamp.Remote Control InformationYou can operate the PowerLite 7000 by remote control via a line-of-sight infrared (IR) receiver at the front and rear of the projector. The projector may not respond to remote control commands under the following conditions:p There is an object between the remote control IR emitter and the IR receiver on the projector. p Ambient light is too bright. p Certain types of fluorescent lighting are used. p A strong light source shines into the IR receiver. p Other equipment that emits infrared energy, such as a radiant room heater, is in the room. These conditions commonly cause problems for most infrared-controlled equipment. Try the following solutions:p The remote control unit’s batteries may be low on power; replace them. p Dim the ambient lighting and/or turn off any fluorescent lights. p Close any window coverings and/or move the projector out of direct sunlight. p Turn off other equipment that emits infrared energy. If the remote control still does not work properly, remember you can always control your computer-based presen-tation directly from the computer, even in an environment containing one of the conditions listed above. pro-insd.fm Page iii Tuesday, May 13, 1997 2:26 PM

Getting the Most Out of Your Projector n n n n n n n n xi Remote Control The buttons on the remote control enable you to turn the projector on and off, and provide direct access to auto set up, blank, freeze, volume, mute, and image source switching. Use the remote control buttons to access custom functions (with the ELP Link II software) and the projector’s menu system. You can even use the remote control to control your computer in place of your computer’s mouse. Sleep Mode Sleep mode conserves electricity by automatically turning off the lamp after the projector has not been used for 30 minutes. In sleep mode, the projector remains on but the lamp is turned off, conserving electricity, cooling the projector, and extending the life of the lamp. Control Panel The control panel buttons on the projector duplicate the remote control buttons and let you perform additional functions, such as adjusting the tracking and sync for computer images. pro-int.fm Page xi Tuesday, May 13, 1997 2:26 PM
