Remote control effective range 
 
Infra-Red (IR) remote control sensors are located on the front and the back of the projector. 
The remote control must be held at an angle within 30 d egrees of the projector’s IR remote control sensors to 
function correctly. The distance between the remote c ontrol and the sensors should not exceed 6 meters (~ 
20 feet). 
 
 
Make sure that there are no obstacles between the 
remote control and the IR sensors on the projector 
that might obstruct the infra-red beam.
 
 
 
 
Replacing the remote control battery 
1. Pull out the battery holder. 
2. Insert the new battery  into the holder. Note: 
The positive polarity should face outward. 
3. Push the holder into the remote control 
until it clicks into place. 
λ Avoid excessive heat and humidity. There 
may be battery damage if the battery is 
incorrectly replaced. 
λ Replace only with the same or equivalent type 
battery, as recommended by the battery manufacturer. 
λ Dispose of the used battery according  to the manufacturer’s instructions. 
λ Never throw a battery into a fire. There may be danger of an explosion. 
λ If the battery is dead, or if you will not be using the re mote control for a long time, remove the battery to 
prevent damage to the remote control from the possibility of battery leakage.

Connection 
When connecting a signal source to the projector, be sure to: 
1. Turn all equipment off before making any connections; 
2. Use the correct signal cables for each source; and 
3. Ensure that the cables are firmly inserted. 
In the connections shown below, some cables may not be included with the projector (see  Shipping 
Contents on page 6 ). They are commercially available from electronics stores.
 
 
Cable connection 
 
Connecting video source devices 
This section describes how to connect the projector to  video source devices using video cables. Video cable 
connections are recommended for video presentations. 
You can connect your projector to various video source  devices that provide any one of the following output 
sockets: 
λ  S-Video 
λ Video (composite) 
You need only connect the projector to a video source device using just one of the above connecting 
methods; however, each provides a different level of  video quality. The method you choose will most likely 
depend upon the availability of matching terminals on  both the projector and the video source device as 
described below:
 
 
Better video quality 
The S-Video method provides a better qualit y analog video than standard composite video. 
If you have both composite Video and S-Video output terminal s on your video source device, you should elect to 
use the S-Video option. 
 
Lesser video quality 
Composite Video is an analog video and will result in a perfect ly acceptable, but less than optimal, result from your 
projector, being the lesser video quality of  the available methods described here. 
 
Connecting audio 
The projector has a built-in mono speaker  that is designed to provide basic audio functionality accompanying data 
presentations for business purposes only. It is not desi gned for, nor intended for, stereo audio reproduction use as 
might be expected in home theatre or home cinema applicati ons. Any stereo audio input (if provided) is mixed into a 
common mono audio output through the projector speaker. 
  
						

							
 13
If you have a separate sound system, you will most likely  want to connect the audio output of your video source 
device to that sound system, instead  of to the mono audio projector. 
 
The audio connections illustrated in the following secti ons are provided for informational purposes only. You need 
not connect audio to the projector if there is an alternat e sound system available, or if audio is not required. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
						

							
Operation 
Start-up 
1. Plug the power cord into the projector and into a wall socket. Turn on the wall socket switch (where fitted). 
Check that the Power indicator on our projector ada pter lights orange after power has been applied. 
2. Plug the DC plug into the projector’s 12VDC socket. Re move the lens cap. If it is left on, it could become 
deformed due to the heat produced by the projection lamp. 
3. Switch on the main power at the left side of the proj ector. Check that the Power inductor on the projector 
lights green.   
3. Press the Power button on the remote control or pr ojector to start the unit. The Power indicator lights off 
and lights green after 3 seconds when the unit is on. 
4. The start-up procedure takes about 5 seconds after  pressing Power, and the image will appear as normal   
(If necessary). Rotate the focus ring to adjust the image clearness. 
If the projector is still hot from previous activity, it will run the cooling fan for approximately 45 
seconds before energizing the lamp.  
5. Switch all of the connected equipment on. 
6. You can also press Source on the projector or remote  control to select your desired input signal. For more 
information, please refer to  Switching input signal on page 1 4. 
If the frequency/ resolution of the input signal exceed the projector’s operating range, you will see the 
message “Out Range” displayed on a blue screen.
 
 
Switching input signal 
The projector can be connected to multiple devices at the same time; 
however, it can only display one at a time. To cycle through the available 
input sources, press the Enter button  on the projector control panel, or the 
Source button on the remote control. T he selected source name will display 
at the Top-Left of the screen for 10 seconds after each button press.   
The brightness level of the projected image will change accordingly 
when you switch between different input signals. Data (graphic) PC 
presentations using mostly static images are generally brighter than 
Video presentations using mostly moving images (movies). 
The input type affects the options available for the Application Mode. See  Selecting an application 
mode on page  18 for details.

Shutdown 
1. Press Power to turn the projector off. 
2. The Power indicator light flashes green and the lamp shuts down. The fans continue to run for 
approximately 45 seconds to cool down the projector. 
λ  To protect the lamp, the projector will not respon d to any commands during the cooling process. 
λ To shorten the cooling time, you can also  activate the Quick Cooling function. 
3. Switch off the main Power at the left side and di sconnect the power cord at the adaptor from the wall 
socket. 
λ  Do not unplug the adaptor or power cord before t he projector shutdown sequence is complete, or 
during the 45-second cooling down process.
 
λ  If the projector is not properly shut down, you risk  damaging the lamp. Do not move the projector while 
the lamp is hot.

Troubleshooting 
THE PROJECTOR DOES NOT TURN ON. 
Cause Remedy 
There is no power from the power cable. 
 
Plug the power cord into the AC inlet on the projector, 
and plug the power cord from the power outlet. If the 
power outlet has a switch, make sure that it is switched 
on.
 
Attempting to turn the projector on again during the 
cooling process.
 
Wait until the cooling down process has completed. 
 
 NO PICTURE.  
Cause Remedy 
The video source is not turned on or connected 
correctly.
 
Turn the video source on and check that the signal 
cable is connected correctly.
 
The projector is not correctly connected to the input 
source device. 
 
Check the connection. 
The input signal has not been correctly selected. Select the correct input signal with the Source key on 
the projector or remote control.
 
The lens cap is still attached to the lens.  Remove the lens cap. 
 
BLURRED IMAGE. 
Cause Remedy 
The projection lens is not correctly focused. Adjust the focus of the lens using the focus adjuster. 
The projector and the screen are not aligned properly. Adjust the projection angle and direction, as well as the 
height of the unit (if necessary).
 
The lens cap is still attached to the lens.  Remove the lens cap. 
 
REMOTE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK. 
Cause Remedy 
The battery is out of power.  Replace the battery with a new one. 
There is an obstacle between the remote control and the 
projector. 
 
Remove the obstacle. 
You are too far away from the projector. Stand within 6 meters (19.5 feet) of the projector.
