*1 About Cool Down Mode
After projection, the heated lamp will go through a 60-
second cool-down process known as the cool down 
mode. This function is to prevent damage and 
deformation that heat from the heated lamp may cause 
to the internal components of this unit. It also prevents 
lamp breakage and shortened lamp life.
The cool down mode is indicated by the blinking 
[STAND BY] indicator. When in the cool down mode, the 
[OPERATE ON] button will be disabled.
After the cool down process is completed, the unit will 
automatically switch to the standby mode.CAUTION:
When in the cool down mode, do not pull out the plug 
from the power outlet. Also, do not block the air inlets/
exhaust vents by standing this unit on its end or laying it 
on its side.

Loading Batteries into the Remote Control
Precautions for Using Batteries
If batteries are incorrectly used, they may crack or 
leak. This could cause fire, burn, malfunction, and 
staining or damaging of the surroundings. Beware 
of the following:
●Do not mix new and old batteries.
●Do not mix different type of batteries as they are 
different in characteristics.
●Insert batteries according to the FG marks on the 
battery case.
●Be sure to insert the minus G end in first to prevent 
short circuit.
●Do not put batteries into fire or recharge them.
●Use only designated batteries.
●Remove the batteries if the remote control is not to be 
used for a prolonged period.
●Use manganese batteries wherever possible. Do not 
use rechargeable, alkaline batteries.
●Read the cautions displayed on the batteries.
Battery Life
Batteries last for 6 months to 1 year under normal use. 
However, batteries provided are for confirming operation 
and may not last that long. When the remote control fails 
to operate properly, replace the batteries with new ones.
Battery Leakage
When the batteries are totally exhausted and can no 
longer be used, replace them immediately.
Leaving the batteries in the battery compartment causes 
leakage, which may in turn lead to malfunction.

Installing the Projector
Please read the following carefully when installing this unit.
Minimum Space Required
Precautions for Installation
Installation EnvironmentPrecautions for Usage
This unit is a precision device. Do not install it at 
the following places. Doing so may cause fire or 
malfunction of the unit.
●Where there is water, humidity or dust
●Where the unit may be subjected to oily or cigarette 
smoke
●On a soft surface such as carpet or cushion
●Where the unit may be subjected to high temperature 
due to direct sunlight
●When temperature is high or low
Allowable operation temperature range: +5 f to +35 f
Allowable relative humidity range: 20 % to 80 % (no 
condensation)
Allowable storage temperature range: -10 f to +60 f
●Any room in which there is cigarette smoke or grease
Even where smoke and grease levels are minimal, 
prolonged exposure will affect this unit. This unit emits 
heat and optical components are cooled down by taking 
in a large amount of air. The optical path may be soiled 
by grease/dirt, thus causing images to become dark or 
color projection to deteriorate. When soiling on the 
optical components occurs, removal of grease/dirt totally 
will not be possible.
This unit makes use of a light source lamp that 
may reach a high temperature during projection. 
Do not allow projection under the following 
conditions. Doing so may cause fire or 
malfunction of the unit.
●Projection with the unit laid on its sides
●Projection with the unit installed in an unreasonable 
angle
Avoid using this unit at an angle of more than 5  
horizontally and 25  vertically. Doing so may cause 
unevenness in the color or shorten the lamp life.
●Projection at a location that blocks the air inlets or 
exhaust vents
●Projection at a place exposed to air blasts from an air-
conditioner
Do not use a cover which may enclose this unit 
or block the air inlets/exhaust vents. Allow 
sufficient space around this unit. When this unit 
is enclosed in a space of dimensions as 
indicated on the left, use an air-conditioner so 
that internal and external temperatures are the 
same.

When mounting of this unit is required, do so by removing the 4 feet and make use of the 4 screw holes (M8 nuts) at 
the bottom of this unit. Allow sufficient space around the air inlets to avoid blocking them.
Mounting this Unit
Air InletPrecautions for Ceiling-mount
●To ceiling-mount this unit, special expertise and 
techniques are necessary. Be sure to ask your dealer 
(or a specialist) to perform mounting (to ceilings, etc.).
●Do not mount at places that may be subjected to 
vibration and shock.
●Depth of the screw holes (screw length) is 30 mm. Use 
screws shorter than 30 mm but longer than 19 mm.
Otherwise, the screws may damage the internal parts 
of this unit and cause malfunction.
●Install at a safe place in case this unit or a part of it may 
drop. If the light-source lamp is broken, small pieces of 
glass from the mesh of the filter may appear outside 
this unit.

The optimum image can be obtained when the center of this projector’s lens and the screen are placed perpendicular 
to each other. Take note of the projection angle when placing them. Failing to do so may give rise to trapezoidal 
distortion of the projected image.
●This unit does not come with a function to correct trapezoidal distortion or adjust horizontal gradient.
