EN-5 WARNING: Unplug immediately if there is something wrong with your projector. Do not operate if smoke, strange noise or odor comes out of your projector. It might cause fi re or electric shock. In this case, unplug immediately and contact your dealer. Never remove the cabinet. This projector contains high voltage circuitry. An inadvertent contact may result in an electric shock. Except as specifi cally explained in the User Manual do not attempt to service this product by yourself. Please contact your dealer when you want to fi x, adjust or inspect the projector. Do not modify this equipment. It can lead to fi re or electric shock. Do not keep using the damaged projector. If the projector is dropped and the cabinet is damaged, unplug the projector and contact your dealer for inspection. It may lead to fi re if you keep using the damaged projector. Do not face the projector lens to the sun. It can lead to fi re. Use correct voltage. If you use incorrect voltage, it can lead to fi re. Do not place the projector on uneven surface. Place the projection on a leveled and stable surface only. Please do not place equipment on unstable surfaces. Do not look into the lens when it is operating. It may hurt your eyes. Never let children look into the lens when it is on. Do not turn off the main power abruptly or unplug the projector during operation. It can lead to lamp breakage, fi re, electric shock or other trouble. It is best to wait for the fan to turn off before turning the main power off. Do not touch the air outlet grille and bottom plate, which become hot. Do not touch them or put other equipment in front of the air outlet grille. The air outlet grille and bottom plate, when heated, may cause injury or damage to other equipment. Also, do not set the projector on the desk which is easily affected by heat. Clean the air-fi lter once a month. Clean the air-fi lter frequently. If the fi lter or ventilation slots become clogged with dirt or dust, the temperature inside of the projector may rise and cause some troubles, such as damage of inside parts, and shortening the life of panel. Do not look into the air outlet grille when projector is operating. Heat, dust, etc. may blow out of it and hurt your eyes. Do not insert your fi ngers in the space between the lens and the cabinet. The lens may shift causing injury or damage to the projector. Do not block the air inlet and outlet grilles. If they are blocked, heat may be generated inside the projector, causing deterioration in the projector quality and fi re. Do not use fl ammable solvents (benzene, thinner, etc.) and fl ammable aerosols near the projector. Flammable substances may ignite causing fi re or breakdown because the temperature inside the projector rises very high while the lamp is illuminating. Do not use the projector with condensation on it. It can lead to breakdown or other failure. Place of installation For safety’s sake, refrain from setting the projector at any place subjected to high temperature and high humidity. Please maintain an operating temperature, humidity, and altitude as specifi ed below. • Operating temperature: between +41°F (+5°C) and +104°F (+40°C) • Operating humidity: between 30% and 90% • Never put any heat-producing device under the projector so that the projector does not overheat. • Do not attach the projector to a place that is unstable or subjected to vibration. • Do not install the projector near any equipment that produces a strong magnetic fi eld. Also refrain from installing near the projector any cable carrying a large current. • Place the projector on a solid, vibration free surface; otherwise it may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the product. • Do not stand the projector; it may fall, causing serious injury and damage to the projector. • Slanting the projector more than ±10°(right and left) or ±15°(front and rear) may cause trouble or explosion of the lamp. • Do not place the projector near air-conditioning unit, heater, or humidifi er to avoid hot or moist air to the exhaust and ventilation hole of the projector.

EN-6 Preparing your projector 1 23 Checking accessories The following accessories are provided with this projector. Check to be sure that all of the accessories are packed in the package. Important: • The attached power cords are to be used exclusively for this product. Never use them for other products. Inserting the batteries into the remote control 1. Remove the rear lid of the remote control. 2. Check the polarity (+), (-) of the batteries, and set them correctly, inserting their (-) side fi rst. • If the battery is inserted from the (+) side fi rst, inserting the (-) side is diffi cult because the coil spring end hits on the battery side. If the battery is forced to insert in this way, the outer label of the battery may get ripped and it may cause a short-circuit and heating. 3. Attach the rear lid. Important: • Use two size-AA batteries (LR6). • Replace the 2 batteries with new ones when the remote control is slow to operate. Removing the batteries from the remote control Remove the back lid of the remote control and take out the batteries. Caution: • Use of a battery of wrong type may cause explosion. • Only Carbon-Zinc or Alkaline-Manganese Dioxide type batteries should be used. • Dispose of used batteries according to your local regulations. • Batteries may explode if misused. Do not recharge, disassemble, or dispose of them in fi re. • Be sure to handle the batteries according to the instructions. • Load the batteries with its positive (+) and negative (-) sides correctly oriented as indicated on the remote control. • Keep batteries out of reach of children and pets. • Remove the batteries, if the remote control is not used for a long time. • Do not combine a new battery with an old one. • If the solution of batteries comes in contact with your skin or clothes, rinse with water. If the solution comes in contact with your eyes, rinse them with water and then consult your doctor.

Otherwise, the remote control may malfunction. • If there is an inverter-operated fl uorescent lamp near the remote control, the remote control opera- tion may become unstable. • When you use the remote control too close to the remote control sensor, the remote control may not work correctly. Reception angle Vertical directions Vertical directions (ceiling mount)Front of projectorRear of projector Operate the remote control within a distance of 10 m (30 feet) from the projector, pointing the light beam at the remote control photo- sensor (front or rear) of the projector. When operating the remote control, keep the distance from the remote control to the projector via the screen within about 5 m (15 feet). The operable range of the remote control, however, depends on the characteristics of the screen. Using the wired remote control Attached remote control for this projector can be used as a wired remote control with remote control cable. Wired remote control is useful for operating in a distance or outside of the operating area. • For connection, use the pin-pin cable of ø3.5 stereo type, which is commercially available. However, some cable may not work correctly. • When REMOTE OUT terminal on this projector is connected to the REMOTE IN terminal on the other projector, the two projectors can be controlled together by using the remote control. (Up to two projectors can be controlled.) • When the remote control is connected with remote control cable, it does not work as a wireless remote control. • When using the wired remote control, the laser beam may be darker. It is normal. REMOTE IN REMOTE OUT REMOTE IN
EN-10 Setting up your projector Setting up the screen Install the screen perpendicularly to the projector. If the screen can not be installed in such a way, adjust the projection angle of the projector. (See page 11.) • Install the screen and projector so that the projector’s lens is placed at the same height and horizontal position of the screen center. • Do not install the screen where it is exposed to direct sunlight or lighting. Light directly refl ecting on the screen makes the projected images whitish and hard to view. Screen size and projection distance Refer to the following table to determine the screen size and projection distance. W1 H1 H2 H L W1W LW1 H1 H2 H L W1W L • You are recommended to install the projector as close to the screen as possible within the specified projection distance range for your screen size. • Depending on the installation conditions, warm air that is emitted from the exhaust vents may fl ow into the intake vent, causing the projector to display “TEMPERATURE!!” and then stop projecting images.
