x Important Information Regulatory Statement: Operation of this device is subjected to the following National regulations and may be prohibited to use if certain restriction should be applied. France: Outdoor use limited to 10mW e.i.r.p. within the band 2454 – 2483.5 MHz. Derogation in French overseas departments of Guyane and La Reunion: outdoor use not allowed in band 2400 - 2420 MHz. • Cautions on security when using wireless LAN products With a wireless LAN, radio waves are used instead of LAN cables for the exchange of data between the wireless access points (computers, etc.), offering the advantage that LAN connections can be made freely within the range of the radio waves. On the other hand, the radio waves reach all points within this range, regardless of walls or other obstacles, possibly resulting in the problems described below if the proper security measures are not taken. • Contents of transmissions may be intercepted Malicious third parties may purposely intercept the radio waves and steal information contained in the transmissions, including such personal information as ID numbers, passwords, credit card numbers, e-mail messages, etc. • Improper intrusions Malicious third parties may without permission access the personal or company network and steal personal or confidential information, pretend to be someone else and leak incorrect information, rewrite information that has been intercepted, introduce computer viruses or otherwise damage data or the system, etc. Wireless LAN cards and wireless access points generally include security measures for dealing with these problems. Making the proper security settings before using the products can reduce the risk of such problems arising. We recommend that you fully understand the problems that can arise when using the products without making the security settings, then that you make the security settings based on your own decision and at your own discretion.

2 1. Introduction Introduction to the Projector This section introduces you to your new projector and describes the features and controls. Congratulations on Your Purchase of the Projector This projector is one of the very best projectors available today. The projector enables you to project precise images up to 300 inches across (measured diagonally) from your PC or Macintosh computer (desktop or notebook), VCR, DVD player, or document camera. You can use the projector on a tabletop or cart, you can use the projector to project images from behind the screen, and the projector can be permanently mounted on a ceiling*1. The remote control can be used wirelessly. *1 Do not attempt to mount the projector on a ceiling yourself. The projector must be installed by qualified technicians in order to ensure proper operation and reduce the risk of bodily injury. In addition, the ceiling must be strong enough to support the projector and the installation must be in accordance with any local building codes. Please consult your dealer for more information. Features you’ll enjoy: • Quick start (3 seconds*1), Quick Power Off (0 seconds), Direct Power Off 3 seconds*1 after turning on the power, the projector is ready to display PC or video images. The projector can be put away immediately after the projector is powered down. No cool down period is required after the projector is turned off from the remote control or cabinet control panel. The projector has a feature called “Direct Power Off ”. This feature allows the projector to be turned off (even when projecting an image) by using the Main Power Switch or disconnecting the AC power supply. To turn off the AC power supply when the projector is powered on, use a power strip equipped with a switch and a breaker. *1 The quick start time is only when [STANDBY MODE] is set to [NORMAL] in the on-screen message. • 0.2 W (100-130 V AC)/0.4 W (200-240 V AC) in standby condition with energy saving technology Selecting [POWER-SAVING] for [STANDBY MODE] from the menu can put the projector in power-saving mode that consumes only 0.2 W (100-130 V AC)/0.4 W (200-240 V AC). • 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 [AUTO ECO], [ECO1], or [ECO2]*2. The amount of CO2 emission reduction will be displayed in the confirmation message at the time of power-off and in the INFO of the on-screen menu. *2 [ECO2] is available on P350X only. • Lamp life up to 5000 hours (P350X)/3500 hours (P420X/P350W) without cleaning the filters regularly Using in Eco Mode allows you to prolong the projector’s lamp life up to 5000 hours (up to 4000 hours in NORMAL Mode (ECO Mode OFF)). For P420X and P350W: Using in Eco Mode allows you to prolong the projector’s lamp life up to 3500 hours (up to 3000 hours in NORMAL Mode (ECO Mode OFF)) The two-layer, large filters require no regular cleaning. Filter replacement is requred only when lamp replacement is done. • Vertical lens shift mechanism offers installation flexibility Manual lens shift that can be adjusted by turning dials on the top of the projector. • HDMI input port provides digital signal The HDMI input provides HDCP compatible digital signals. The HDMI input also supports audio signal.
