Remote Control Precautions
•	 Handle	the	remote	control	carefully.
•	 If	the	remote	control	gets	wet,	wipe	it	dry	immediately.
•	 Avoid	excessive	heat	and	humidity.
•	 Do	not	short,	heat,	or	take	apart	batteries.
•	 Do	not	throw	batteries	into	fire.
•	 If	you	will	not	be	using	the	remote	control	for	a	long	time,	remove	the	batteries.
•	 Ensure	that	you	have	the	batteries’	polar ity	(+/−)	aligned	correctly .
•	 Do	not	use	new	and	old	batteries	together,	or	use	different	types	of	batteries	together.
•	 Dispose	of	used	batteries	according	to	your	local	regulations.
•	 The	remote	control	sensor	on	the	back	of	the	projector	cannot	be	used	when	the	separately	sold	cable	cov er	is	
mounted	on	the	projector.

❷ Connecting Your Computer/Connecting the Power Cord
1.	 Connect	your	computer	to	the	projector.
 This section will show you a basic connection to a computer. For information about other connections, see “5. 
Installation	and	Connections”	on	page	73.
	 Connect	the	computer	cable	(VGA)	between	the	projector’s	COMPUTER	IN	terminal	and	the	computer’s	port	(mini	
D-Sub 15 Pin). Turn two thumb screws of both terminals to fix the computer cable (VGA).
2.	 Connect	the	supplied	power	cord	to	the	projector.
	 First	connect	the	supplied	pow er	cord’s	three-pin	plug	to	the	AC	IN	of	the	projector,	and	then	connect	the	other	
plug of the supplied power cord in the wall outlet.
 The projector’s power indicator will flash for a few seconds and then will light red* (standby mode).
*	 This	will	apply	for	both	indicators	when	[NORMAL]	is	selected	for	[STANDBY	MODE].	See	the	Po wer	Indicator	
section.(→ page 115) 
COMPUTER IN
Make	sure	that	the	prongs	are	fully	inserted	into	both	the	A
C	IN	and	the	w all	outlet.

❸ Turning on the Projector
 WARNING
The	projector	produces	a	strong	light.	When	turning	on	the	power,	make	sure	no	one	within	projection	range	is	
looking	at	the	lens.
1. Remove the lens cap.
 With the lens cap’s stopper pressed up, pull forward and 
off.
Stopper
2. Press the  (POWER) button on the projector cabinet 
or the POWER ON button on the remote control. 
 The POWER indicator lights blue and the image is projected 
on the screen.
TIP:	
•	 When	the	message	“PROJECTOR	IS	LOCKED!	ENTER	YOUR	
PASSWORD.”	is	displayed,	it	means	that	the	[SECURITY]	
feature	is	turned	on.	(→	page	38)
 After you turn on your projector, ensure that the computer 
or video source is turned on.
NOTE:	When	no	input	signal	is	present,	the	no-signal	guidance	is	
displayed	(factory	menu	setting).

Note on Startup screen (Menu Language Select screen)
When	you	first	turn	on	the	projector,	you	will	get	the	Startup	menu.	This	menu	gives	you	the	opportunity	to	select	one	
of	the	30	menu	languages.
To	select	a	menu	language,	follow	these	steps:
1. Use the ▲, ▼, ◀ or ▶ button to select one of the 30 
languages from the menu.
 
2. Press the ENTER button to e xecute the selection.
After	this	has	been	done,	you	can	proceed	to	the	menu	
operation.
If	you	want,	you	can	select	the	menu	language	later.
(→	[LANGUAGE]	on	page	39	and	52)
 
NOTE:	
•	 If	one	of	the	following	things	happens,	the	projector	will	not	turn	on.
-	 If	the	internal	temperature	of	the	projector	is	too	high,	the	projector	detects	abnormal	high	temperature.	In	this	condition	the	
projector	will	not	turn	on	to	protect	the	internal	system.	If	this	happens,	wait	for	the	projector’s	internal	components	to	cool	
down.
-	 If	the	STATUS	indicator	lights	orange	with	the	power	button	pressed,	it	means	that	the	[CONTROL	PANEL	LOCK]	is	turned	on.	
Cancel	the	lock	by	turning	it	off.	(→	page	54)
•	 While	the	POWER	indicator	is	blinking	blue	in	short	cycles,	the	power	cannot	be	turned	off	by	using	the	power	button.

Detecting the Signal Automatically
Press	the	SOURCE	button	once.	The	projector	will	search	for	the	avail-
able	input	source	and	display	it.	The	input	source	will	change	as	follows:	
[HDMI1]	→	[HDMI2]	→	[COMPUTER]	→	[VIDEO]	→	[HDBaseT]	→	[APPS]
•	 With	the	SOURCE	screen	displayed,	you	can	press	the	SOURCE	
button	a	few	times	to	select	the	input	source.
TIP:	If	no	input	signal	is	present,	the	input	will	be	skipped.
 
Using the Remote Control
Press	any	one	of	the	COMPUTER	1,	HDMI1,	HDMI2,	VIDEO,	HDBaseT,	
or	APPS	buttons.

TIP:	
•	 When	the	projector	and	computer	are	connected	and	the	projector	is	in	standby,	it	is	possible	to	turn	on	the	projector’s	power	
and	project	the	computer’s	screen	automatically	by	detecting	the	computer	signals	or	HDMI	signals	issued	from	the	computer.
	 ([AUTO	POWER	ON]	→	page	61)
•	 On	Windows	7,	a	combination	of	the	Windows	and	P	keys	allows	you	to	set	up	external	display	easily	and	quickly.

Adjusting the vertical position of a projected image (Lens shift)
 CAUTION
Perform	the	adjustment	from	behind	or	from	the	side	of	the	projector.	Adjusting	from	the	front	could	expose	your	
eyes	to	strong	light	which	could	injure	them.
1. Open the lens shift cover.
 Open with the cover’s stopper pushed forward.
•	 The	lens	shift	cover	cannot	be	removed.
Stopper
2. Turn the lens shift dials clockwise or counterclockwise.
 Vertical dial
	 Turn	this	clockwise	or	counterclockwise	to	adjust	the	projection	position	in	the	vertical	direction.
 Horizontal dial
	 Turn	this	clockwise	or	counterclockwise	to	adjust	the	projection	position	in	the	horizontal	direction.

NOTE:
•	 The	dials	can	be	turned	more	than	one	full	turn,	but	the	projection	position	cannot	be	moved	more	than	the	range	indicated	
on	the	following	page.	Do	not	force	to	turn	the	dials.	Doing	so	may	damage	the	dials.
•	 If	the	lens	is	shifted	to	the	maximum	in	the	diagonal	direction,	the	edges	of	the	screen	will	be	dark	or	shaded.
•	 The	vertical	shift	adjustment	must	be	finished	with	an	image	shifted	upward.	If	you	finish	the	vertical	shift	adjustment	with	an	
image	shifted	down,	the	zoom/focus	adjustments	or	strong	shaking	may	cause	a	projected	image	to	slightly	shift	down.
