STAND BY Indicator
ON : When in stand-by mode.
Blinking : When in cool-down mode.
About the cool-down mode:This projector has a function to cool down the heated lamp for a fixed period of time after projection is finished. This feature is referred to as
the cool-down mode.
The purpose of the cool-down mode is to prevent inner parts
from being deformed or broken by heat from the heated lamp
as well as to prolong the life of the lamp. Do not turn off the
main power switch while in the cool-down mode. Also, do not
place the projector on its side or stand it upright; this may
block the exhaust vents.
OPERATE indicator

OPERATE button
When the projector is in the stand-by mode, press this button, and the main power switch is turned on, causing
the OPERATE indicator to light. Press it again, and the projector goes into the cool-down mode, then stand-by
mode.
About the emergency mode:
The emergency mode is shown when the following anomalies have occurred with the projector (the EMERGENCY indicator blinks). In
the emergency mode, projection is automatically interrupted and the cooling fans operate for about 20 seconds.
When the air filter is displaced.
When the filter is clogged.
When the light-source lamp has suddenly gone off.
When the fans have stopped.
When the temperature inside has risen abnormally high.
When an emergency mode is shown:
After the cooling fans have stopped, turn off the main power
switch and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.Make sure the lamp-replacement cover and the air filter are
correctly installed. Then, plug in the power cord again and
operate the projector.
If it goes into an emergency mode again, after the cooling
fans have stopped, turn off the main power switch, unplug
the power cord, and call your dealer for repair.
While in the cool-down mode:
If you press the OPERATE button, the projector is not tuned on.

Installing Batteries
Install batteries in the remote control. If the remote control has started to work erratically, replace the batteries.
Open the back cover.Precautions for using batteries
While pushing on the back cover, slide it in the direction
of the arrow.
If batteries are used incorrectly, they may crack or
leak liquid. This could cause a fire, burn, malfunction,
or staining or damaging the surrounding.
Beware of the following:
Do not mix new and old batteries.
Do not mix different types of batteries as they differ in
characteristics.
Place batteries so they match the polarities indicated:
(+) to (+) and (-) to (-).
Be sure to put the minus (-) end in first to avoid short-
circuiting.
Use only designated batteries.
Install the batteries.
Remove the batteries if not used for a prolonged period
of time.
Place the two batteries (AAA/R03-size) supplied in the
remote control as illustrated below. When the batteries are exhausted, replace them
immediately. Otherwise, liquid could leak, or malfunction
could occur due to leaked liquids. If the leaked liquid
contacts the skin, wipe it off with a cloth, otherwise the
skin could become irritated.
Do not put batteries into fire or try to recharge them. Batteries run for six months to one year in normal use.
But the batteries supplied are for confirming operation
and may not run that long. When the remote control starts
failing to work properly, replace the batteries with new
ones.
Close the back cover.
Slide the back cover in the direction of the arrow until a
click is heard.

							Installing the Projector
Precautions for Installation
Do not install the projector in places where :There is much water, humidity or dust.
The projector may be subjected to oil smoke or cigarette smoke.
The surface is soft, such as a carpet or cushion.
The projector may be subjected to direct sunlight.
Temperature is high or humidity is low.
Allowable operation temperature range: + 5°C to + 35°C (41°F to 95°F)
Allowable relative humidity range: 20% to 80% (no condensation)
Allowable storage temperature range: -10°C to +60°C (14°F to 140°F)
When installing the projector, observe the followings:
Do not use the projector placed on its side.
Avoid using the projector placed on its side. This could cause a malfunction.
Use the projector within the installed angle.
Avoid using the projector inclined ±30° or more right-to-left or left-to-right. This could cause color variation o\
r harm the la mp
life.
Do not block the exhaust vents.
Do not use a cover which encloses the projector air-tight or blocks the exhaust vents. Allow sufficient space around the\
projector. When the projector is enclosed in a space of the following dimensions, use an air conditioner so the temperat\
ure
inside becomes equal to the outside temperature.

Projection Distance and Screen Size
The projector’s projection lens is a zoom lens of about 1.5 x. The screen size at the maximum enlargement is 1.5
times that of the minimum size.
The projection distance that can be focused is 2.5 to 20 m. Install the projector within this range.

*Also, refer to the table of “Relationship Between Projection Distances and Projection Screen Sizes” on page 19 as\
 a reference.
Install the screen so the lower edge of the projected picture aligns with the extended center line of the projector’s\
 lens.
That way, the lower edge of the picture projected on a 4 : 3 aspect ratio screen aligns with the extended center line of\
 the
lens. Also, the screen must be at right angles with the extended center line of the lens (so that projection occurs at \
right
angles with the screen).
When installing the screen, use a 4 : 3 aspect ratio picture.
(A 16 : 9 aspect ratio picture is projected based on the width of the range in which a 4 : 3 aspect ratio picture is pr\
ojected. )
The diagonal length of a 16 : 9 aspect ratio picture is about 91.8% that of a 4 : 3 aspect ratio picture. This value is \
a guide and should be used as a reference.
When projecting at the maximum projection distance (20 m/65.6 ft), we recommend that the projector be used with the
zoom on the Tele (T).
If sunlight or lamp light strikes the projection screen directly, the picture becomes whitish and dim. Be sure to use a
curtain, etc. to shield the light.
Trapezoidal distortion may not be corrected.
Adjust the projector within the range of angle adjustment (up/down adjustment angle: +7°; horizontal adjustment angl\
e:
±1.5°) so that it is set up level.
The numeric values listed in the table of Relationship between Projection Distances and Screen Sizes on page 19 are provided only as a guide or reference. The projection sizes may vary within manufacturing tolerances of the projection
lens.
When hanging the projector from the ceiling, use a dedicated hanging fixture.
