5 Checking Energy-Saving Effect [CARBON METER]
This	
feature	 will	show	 energy-saving	 effect	in	terms	 of	CO2	emission	 reduction	 (kg)	when	 the	projector’s	 [ECO	
MODE]	is	set	to	[ON].	This	feature	is	called	[CARBON	METER].
There	are	two	 messages:	 [TOTAL	CARBON	 SAVINGS]	 and	[CARBON	 SAVINGS-SESSION].	 The	[TOTAL	 CAR-
BON	SAVINGS]	 message	shows	the	total	 amount	 of	CO2	emission	 reduction	 from	the	time	 of	shipment	 up	to	now.	
You	can	check	the	information	on	[USAGE	TIME]	from	[INFO.]	of	the	menu.	(→	page	75)
The	 [CARBON	 SAVINGS-SESSION]	 message	shows	the	amount	 of	CO2	emission	 reduction	 between	the	time	
of	changing	 to	ECO	 MODE	 immediately	 after	the	time	 of	power-on	 and	the	time	 of	power-off.	 The	[CARBON	
SAVINGS-SESSION]	 message	will	be	displayed	 in	the	 [POWER	 OFF/	ARE	YOU	 SURE?]	 message	 at	the	 time	 of	
power-off.
TIP:
•	 The	formula	as	shown	below	is	used	to	calculate	the	amount	of	CO2	emission	reduction.
	 Amount	 of	CO2	emission	 reduction	 =	Power	 consumption	 in	OFF	 for	ECO	 MODE	 –	Power	 consumption	 in	ON	 for	ECO	 MODE	 x	
CO2	conversion	factor.*
	 *		Calculation	 for	amount	 of	CO2	emission	 reduction	 is	based	 on	an	OECD	 publication	 “CO2	Emissions	 from	Fuel	Combustion,	
2008	Edition”.
•	 The	[TOTAL	CARBON	SAVINGS]	is	calculated	based	on	savings	recorded	in	15	minutes	intervals.
•	 This	formula	will	not	apply	to	the	power	consumption	which	is	not	affected	by	whether	[ECO	MODE]	is	turned	on	or	off.

❷ Projecting images stored in a USB memory device (Basic operation)
This	section	explains	the	basic	operation	of	the	Viewer.	
The	 explanation	 provides	the	operational	 procedure	when	the	Viewer	 [OPTIONS]	 menu	(→	page	4 5)	 is	 set	 to	the	
factory	default.
-	Starting	the	Viewer	......................................................................below
-	Removing	the	USB	memory	from	the	projector	 ......................page	4 2
-	Exiting	the	Viewer	....................................................................page	4 3
Preparation:	Before	starting	the	Viewer,	store	images	to	the	USB	memory	using	your	computer.
Starting the Viewer
1.  Turn on the projector. (→ page 1 6)
2.  Insert  the  USB  memory  into  the  USB  port  of  the  pro-
jector.
-  To  remove  the  USB  memory  from  the  projector,  select 
“REMOVE  USB  DEVICE”  from  the  OPTIONS  menu.  ( → 
Step 5 on page  43)
3.  Press the ▶ (SOURCE) button.
 The SOURCE list will be displayed.
•	 Another	 way	to	display	 the	SOURCE	 list	is	to	 press	 the	
VIEWER button on the remote control. Go on to Step [5].
4. Press  the ▶  (SOURCE)  three  times  to  select  the  cur -
sor to [VIEWER].
  Each  ti me  the ▶  but ton  is  pressed  quickly,  the  nex t 
source will be highlighted.
•	 During	 this	time,	 do	not	 press	 and	hold	 the	▶ button for 
2  seconds  or  longer.  Doing  so  will  start  the  projector  to 
detect the signal automatically.
  Highlighting [VIEWER] for a while will start the Viewer to 
project images stored in the USB memory (slide screen).
