WARNING: 
Unplug immediately if there is something wrong with 
your projector. 
Do not operate if smoke, strange noise or odor comes out of your pro-
jector. It may cause fire or electric shock. In this case, unplug immedi-
ately 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 specifically explained in 
User Manual, do not attempt to se rvice this product by yourself. 
Please contact your dealer when you want to fix, adjust, or inspect the 
projector. 
Do not modify the projector. It can lead to fire 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 fire if 
you keep using the damaged projector. 
Do not face the projection lens to the sun. It can lead to fire. 
Use correct voltage. If you use incorrect voltage, it can lead to fire. 
Do not place the projector on uneven surface. Place the projector on a level and stable surface only.  
Do not look into the lens when the projector is operating. It may hurt your eyes. Never let children look into the lens when the 
projector is on. 
Do not unplug the power cord during operation. It can lead to lamp breakage, fire, electric shock or other trouble. Wait 
for the fan to stop before unplugging the power cord. 
Do not touch the air outlet grilles and bottom plate. Do not touch them or put other equipment close to the air outlet grilles 
because they become hot during operation. The heated air outlet 
grilles and bottom plate may cause injury or damage to other equip-
ment. Also, do not put the projector on  a desk that is easily affected by 
heat. 
Do not look into the air outlet grilles when projector is 
operating. 
Heat, dust, etc. may blow out of them and hurt your eyes. 
Do not block the air inlet and outlet grilles. If they are blocked, heat may be generated inside the projector, caus-
ing deterioration in the projector quality and fire. 
Do not use flammable solvents (benzene, thinner, etc.) 
and flammable aerosols near the projector.
Flammable substances may ignite ca using fire 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, do not use the pr ojector at any place subjected to 
high temperature and high humidity. Please maintain an operating 
temperature, humidity, and altitude as specified below. 
• Operating temperature: between +41°F (+5°C) and +95°F (+35°C) 
• Operating humidity: between 30% and 90% 
• Never put any heat-producing device under the projector to pre- vent the projector from being overheated. 
• Do not install the projector at a place that is unstable or subject to  vibration. 
• Do not install the projector near any equipment that produces a  strong magnetic field. Also refrain from installing the projector near 
any cable carrying a large amount of current. 
• Place the projector on a solid, vibration-free surface. Otherwise it  may fall, causing serious injury or damage. 
• Do not stand the projector on its end. It may fall, causing serious  injury or damage. 
• 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 
humidifier to avoid hot or moist air to the exhaust and ventilation 
hole of the projector.

For the first time use:
1. To release it from the set, press the remote control lock button, and the remote control will eject automatically.
2. Remove the transparent insulation tape by pulling it before use.
For battery change:
1. Remove the battery holder.
2.
Remove the old Lithium coin cell and install new one (CR2025). Ensure that the side with the mark + is up.
3.Push the battery holder back into the remote control until you feel a click.
Caution:
• Risk of explosion if battery is  replaced by an incorrect type.
• Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
Important:• Replace battery with Matsushi ta Battery. Type CR2025 only.
• Battery may explode if mistreated. Do not recharge, disassemble or dispose of in fire.
• Keep battery in original package until ready to use.  Discard used battery promptly. Keep out reach of children.
• Never put battery in mouth for any reason  as it can easily be accidentally swallowed. If battery is accidentally swallowed, contact your physician 
or your poison control center.
• Keep the battery out of the reach of children. There is a danger of death by accidentally swallowing the battery.
• Do not recharge the used battery or  expose the battery to fire or water.
• Do not dispose of the used battery along  with household waste. Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.
• Danger of explosion may happen if batteries are incorrectly re placed. Replace only with the same type recommended by the manuf acturer.
• The battery used for the slim remote cont rol is a button type. The battery power of this type will be exhausted faster than th at of AA or AAA size 
batteries used for other types of remote controls. There are tw o remote controls included in the package. When the first batter y is exhausted, 
replace with the other one as soon as possible.
Operation range (of the remote control)The maximum operation distance of the remote control is about  7 m (or about 22 feet) when the remote control is pointed at the remote control sen-
sor of the projector. When the remote control is pointed to the screen, the distance from the remote control to the projector v ia the screen should be 
5 m or less. However, the operation distance varies depending on the type of the screen used and the lighting condition where t he projector is used.
Reception angle (vertical)
Important:
• Do not expose the remote control sensor to direct sunlight or fluorescent. Keep a distance at least 2 m (6.5 feet) between the  remote control sensor and the fluorescent 
light to ensure correct operation of the remote control.
Inverted fluorescent light, if located near the projector, may interfere the remote control.
• When you use the remote control too close to the remote control sensor, the remote control may not work correctly.
• When you operate the remote control from the rear side of th e projector, the infrared will reflect from the screen, and the operating distance will become shorter. In this 
case, please remove the remote control on the top of the projector to improve the operating distance.

Caution:• Placing the projector directly on a carpet impairs ventilation by the fans, causing damage or failure. Put a hard board under the pro-
jector to facilitate ventilation.
• Place the projector at least 50 cm (or 20 inch) away from the wall  to prevent the air inlet grille and the air outlet grilles that emit hot 
air from being blocked.
• Do not use the projector in the following locations and manners,  which may cause fire or electric shock.
• In a dusty or humid place.
• In a sideways or upside-down position.
• Near a heater.
• In an oily, smoky, or damp place such as a kitchen.
• In direct sunlight.
• Where the temperature rises high, such as in a closed car.
