Remedy
Is the remote control light-emitting area pointing towards the 
remote receiver on the projector when it is operated?
Point the remote control to wards the remote receiver.
The operating angle for the remote control is about 30 °
 horizontally, and about 15 °
 vertically.
Is the remote control too far from the projector?
The operating range for the re mote control is about 6 m.
Is direct sunlight or strong light from fluorescent lamps 
shining onto the remote receiver?
Set the projector up in a locatio n where strong light does not sh ine onto the remote receiver.
Are the batteries dead or have the batteries been inserted 
correctly?
Make sure the batteries are inserted correctly or  replace the batteries with new ones if necessary.  sp.66
Was a remote control button pressed for more than 30 
seconds?
If any of the buttons on the remote control are presse d down for more than 30 seconds, the remote control 
stops sending signals (remote controls sleep mode).  When the button is released, normal remote control 
operation resumes. This can prevent the batteries  from running down accidentally because Sleep Mode 
operates when the remote control is stored in a  bag or if an object is placed on top of it.

Installation MethodsThe projector supports the following four different projection methods.  
Install according to th e conditions of the installation location. 
 Wa r n in g
 A special method of in stallation is required when suspending the 
projector from a ceiling (ceiling mount). If it is not installed 
correctly, it could fall causing an accident and injury.
 If you use adhesives on the ceiling mount to prevent the screws  from loosening, or if you use things such as lubricants or oils on 
the projector, the projector case may crack causing it to fall from 
its ceiling mount. This could cause  serious injury to anyone under 
the ceiling mount and co uld damage the projector.
When installing or adjusting th e ceiling mount, do not use 
adhesives to prevent the screws from loosening and do not use oils 
or lubricants and so on. AttentionDo not use the projector on its side . This may cause malfunctions to 
occur.  
 Project images from front of  the screen. (Front projection)  Project images from behind a 
translucent screen. (Rear 
projection)
 Suspend the projector from the ceiling and project images 
from front of the screen. 
(Front/Ceiling projection)  Suspend the projector from 
the ceiling and project images 
from behind a translucent

projection)q
 An optional ceiling mount is  required when suspending 
the projector from a ceiling.

CleaningYou should clean the projector if it becomes dirty or if the quality of 
projected images starts to deteriorate.Cleaning the Projectors Surface
Clean the projectors surface by wi ping it gently with a soft cloth.
If the projector is particularly  dirty, moisten the cloth with water 
containing a small amount of neutral de tergent, and then firmly wring the 
cloth dry before using it to  wipe the projectors surface.
Cleaning the Lens
Use a commercially available cloth for cleaning glasses to gently wipe the 
lens.
Cleaning the Air Filter and Air Intake Vent
Clean the air filter and the air intake  vent when the following message is 
displayed.
The projector is overheating.  Make su re nothing is blocking the air vent, 
and clean or replac e the air filter sHow to replace the air filter  p.71AttentionDo not use volatile substances such as wax, alcohol, or thinner to 
clean the projectors surface. The qu ality of the case may change or 
become discolored.AttentionDo not rub the lens with harsh materials or subject the lens to 
shocks, as it can easily become damaged.
AttentionIf dust collects on the air filter it  can cause the internal temperature 
of the projector to rise, and this  can lead to problems with operation 
and shorten the optical engines se rvice life. Clean the air filter 
immediately when the message is displayed.q
 If a message is frequently disp layed, even after cleaning, it 
is time to replace the air filter. Replace it with a new air 
filter. 
s
p.71
 It is recommended that you clean these parts at least once  every three months. Clean them  more often than this if 
using the projector in a particularly dusty environment.

Replacing ConsumablesThis section explains how to replace the remote control batteries, the 
lamp, and the air filter. Replacing the Remote Control Batteries
If delays in the responsiveness of the  remote control occur or if it does not 
operate after it has been used for so me time, it probably means that the 
batteries are becoming flat.  When th is happens, replace them with new 
batteries. Have two spare AA-size al kaline or manganese dry batteries 
ready to use. You can only use AA -size alkaline or manganese dry 
batteries.A
Remove the battery cover. While pushing the battery cove r catch, lift the cover up.
B
Replace the old batteries with new batteries.
 Caution
Check the positions of the (+) a nd (-) marks inside the battery 
holder to ensure the batteri es are inserted the correct way.
AttentionMake sure you read the Safety Instructions/Support and Service 
Guide before handling the batteries.

fHow to replace the lamp
Attention The lamp replacement message is  set to appear after the following 
time periods in order to maintain  the initial brightness and quality 
of the projected images. 
s
Brightness Control  p.43
- When used continually at high brightness: About 2900 hours
- When used continually at low brightness: About 3900 hours
 If you continue to use the lamp  after the replacement period has 
passed, the possibility that the lamp  may explode increases. When 
the lamp replacement message appears, replace the lamp with a 
new one as soon as possible, even if it is still working.
 Depending on the characteristics of the lamp and the way it has  been used, the lamp may become  darker or stop working before 
the lamp warning message appears.  You should always have a 
spare lamp ready in case it is needed. 
 Wa r n in g
When replacing the lamp becaus e it has stopped illuminating, there 
is a possibility that the lamp may be broken.
If replacing the lamp of a projecto r which has been installed on the 
ceiling, you should always assume that the lamp is broken, and you 
should stand to the side of the lamp cover, not underneath it.  
Remove the lamp cover gently.  Small pieces of glass may fall out 
when the lamp cover is opened.  If pieces of glass get into your eyes 
or mouth, seek medical advice immediately.
 Caution
Wait until the lamp has cooled down  sufficiently before removing 
the lamp cover. If the lamp is still hot, burns or other injuries may 
result.  It takes about one hour af ter the power has been turned off 
for the lamp to be cool enough.
