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’	polarity	(+/−)	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.

Operating Range for Wireless Remote Control
•	 The	 infrared	 signal	operates	 by	line-of-sight	 up	to	a	distance	 of	about	 22	feet/7	 m	and	 within	 a	60-degree	 angle	of	
the	remote	sensor	on	the	projector	cabinet.
•	 The	 projector	 will	not	 respond	 if	there	 are	objects	 between	 the	remote	 control	and	the	sensor,	 or	if	strong	 light	falls	
on	the	sensor. 	Weak	batteries	will	also	prevent	the	remote	control	from	properly	operating	the	projector.
1Press 	the 	catch 	and 	remove	
the	battery	cover.
2Install 	new 	ones 	(AA). 	Ensure	
that	 you	have	 the	batteries’ 	polar-
ity	(+/−)	aligned	correctly.
3Slip	 the	cover	 back	over	the	batteries	 until	it	
snaps	into	place.
NOTE:  Do  not  mix  different  types  of  batteries  or 
new and old batteries.

 Operating Environment for Downloadable Software
The	following	software	programs	can	be	downloaded	from	our	website.
Name	of	software	programFeatures
Image	Express	Utility	2.0•	 This	is 	a 	software 	program 	used 	to 	send 	the 	screens 	of 	your 	personal 	comput-
ers	to	the	projector	via	wired/wireless	LAN	(Meeting	mode).
	 Projected	images	can	be	transferred	and	saved	to	personal	computers.
	 When	 “Meeting	 Mode”	is	 used,	 projected	 images	can	be	sent	 and	saved	 to	
the	personal	 computers. 	Images	 can	be	sent	 from	 a	personal	 computer	 to	
not	only	 one	projector	 but	also	 to	two	 or	more	 projectors	 at	the	 same	 time.	
(→	page	188)
PC	Control	Utility	Pro	4This	is	a	software	 program	used	to	operate	 the	projector	 from	the	computer	 when	
the	computer	 and	the	projector	 are	connected	 with	LAN	 (wired	 or	wireless)	 or	
a	serial	cable. 	(→	page	199)
Image	Express	Utility	for	Mac•	 This	is 	a 	software 	program 	used 	to 	send 	the 	Mac’s 	screen 	image 	to 	the 	projec-
tor	 over	 a	network	 (wired	or	wireless	 LAN).	For	 Mac’s	 operating	 environment,	
see	page	200.
Virtual	Remote	 ToolWhen	the 	computer 	and 	projector 	are 	connected 	using 	a 	network 	(wired/wireless	
LAN),	 such	operations	 as	turning	 the	projector’s	 power	on	and	 off	and	 switching	
the	signal	 can	be	performed. 	It	 is	 also	 possible	 to	send	 an	image	 to	the	 projector	
and	 register	 it	as	 the	 background	 logo.	Once	 the	image	 is	registered,	 it	can	 be	
locked	to	prevent	the	logo	from	being	overwritten.	(→	page	204)
Viewer	PPT	Converter	3.0This	 is	a	software	 program	used	to	convert	 files	created	 with	PowerPoint	 into	
JPEG	files	that	can	be	displayed	 with	the	viewer	 function	 of	the	 projector	 when	
a	USB	memory	device	is	inserted	into	the	projector. 	(→	page	207)
*	A	separately	sold	wireless	LAN	unit	is	required	to	use	a	wireless	LAN.
NOTE:
•	 Image	Express	Utility	for	Mac	does	not	support	“Meeting	Mode”	which	is	provided	in	Image	Express	Utility	2.0.

2. Projecting an Image (Basic Operation)
 Connecting Your Computer/Connecting the Power Cord
NOTE:
•	 Install	a	lens	before	performing	the	following	steps.	(→ page 157)
1.	 Connect	your	computer	to	the	projector.
	 This	section	 will	show	 you	a	basic	 connection	 to	a	computer. 	For	 information	 about	other	connections,	 see	“(2)	
Making	Connections” 	on	page	160.
	 Connect	the	computer	 cable	(VGA)	 between	 the	projector’s	 COMPUTER	 1	IN	 connector	 and	the	computer’s	 port	
(mini	D-Sub	15	Pin). 	Turn	two	thumb	screws	of	both	connectors	to	fix	the	computer	cable	(VGA).
2.	 Connect	the	optional	power	cord	to	the	projector.
WARNING:	TO	PREVENT	FIRE	OR	SHOCK,	DO	NOT	EXPOSE	 THIS	UNIT	TO	RAIN	OR	MOISTURE.
DO	NOT 	USE 	THIS 	UNIT’S 	PLUG 	WITH 	AN 	EXTENSION 	CORD 	OR 	IN 	AN 	OUTLET 	UNLESS 	ALL 	THE 	PRONGS	
CAN	BE	FULLY	INSERTED.
•	 Use 	the 	VOLTAGE 	SELECT 	switch 	according 	to 	the 	voltage 	being 	used. 	Select 	“100V” 	for 	100 	to 	130V 	and 	“200V” 	
for	200	to	240V. 	
	 Important	Information:
•	 When	plugging	in	or	 unplugging	 the	optional	 power	cord,	make	 sure	that	the	main	 power	 switch	 is	pushed	 to	the	
off	[O]	position. 	Failure	to	do	so	may	cause	damage	to	the	projector.
•	 Do	not	use	a	three-phase	power	supply. 	Doing	so	may	cause	malfunction.
	 First	connect	 the	optional	 power	cord’s	three-pin	 plug	to	the	 AC	IN	of	the	 projector,	 and	then	 connect	 the	other	 plug	
of the optional power cord in the wall outlet.

2. Projecting an Image (Basic Operation)
Using the Power Cord Stopper
To	prevent	 the	power	 cord	from	 accidently	 removing	from	the	AC	IN	of	the	 projector,	 attach	the	power	 cord	stopper	
to	clamp	the	power	cord.
NOTE:
•	 Do	not	clamp	the	power	cord	with	other	cables.	Doing	so	can	generate	noise,	which	can	affect	adversely	the	signal	cable.
 CAUTION
•	 Do	not	bundle	the	power	cord. 	Doing	this	could	cause	heat	or	a	fire.
•	 Do	not	clamp	 two	power	 cords	that	would	 be	used	 when	 stacking	 two	projectors. 	Doing	 this	could	 cause	 a	
fire.
NOTE:	Be	careful	not	to	insert	the	band	inversely.	Once	the	band	is	attached,	it	cannot	be	removed	from	the	slot.
Attaching the power cord stopper
1.	 Insert	the	end	of	band	of	the	power	cord	stopper	into	the	slot	next	to	the	AC	IN	on	the	terminal	panel.
2.	 Use	the	power	cord	stopper	to	clamp	the	power	cord.
	 Push	the	clamper	to	lock	it.

 Turning on the Projector
NOTE:
•	 The	projector	has	two	power	switches:	A	main	power	switch	and	a	POWER	button	(POWER	ON	and	OFF	on	the	remote	control)
•	Turning	on	the	projector:
1.	 Press	the	main	power	switch	to	the	ON	position	(I).
	 The	projector	will	go	into	standby	mode.
2.	 Press	the	POWER	button	.
	 The	projector	will	become	ready	to	use.
•	Turning	off	the	projector:
1.	 Press	the	POWER	button.
	 The	confirmation	message	will	be	displayed.
2.	 Press	the	POWER	button	again.
	 The	projector	will	go	into	standby	mode.
3.	 Press	the	main	power	switch	to	the	OFF	position	(O).
	 The	projector	will	be	turned	off.
 
Remove	the	lens	cap.
1.	 Press	the	main	power	switch	to	the	ON	position	(	I	). 	
	 The	projector	 will	go	into	 standby	 mode.	When	 in	standby	
mode,	 the	POWER	 indicator	 will	light	 orange	 and	the	STA-
TUS	 indicator	 will	light	 green	 when	[NORMAL]	 is	selected	
for	 [STANDBY	 MODE].	See	 the	Power	 Indicator	 section.
(→ page 222) 
	 When	you	are	working	 in	a	dark	 room,	 it	is	 convenient	 to	
use the LED lights on the projector.
	 Press	the	LIGHT	 button	to	turn	 on	the	 LED	 lights	 to	illu-
minate  the  control  panel  and  the  terminal  panel;  press  it 
again to turn off the LED light.
