Introduction
Caution regarding usage of the projector
■When using the projector, take care not to sub-
ject it to hard impact and/or vibration, as this
can result in damage. Take extra care with the
lens. If you are not to use the projector for a
long time, make certain you unplug the power
cord from the wall outlet, and disconnect any
other cables connected to it.
■Do not carry the projector by holding the lens.
■
When storing the projector, ensure you attach
the lens cap to the projector. (See page 12.)
■Do not expose the storage case or projector
to direct sunlight or near heat sources. The
storage case or projector may change color
or become deformed.
Other connected equipment
■When connecting a computer or other audio-
visual equipment to the projector, make the
connections AFTER unplugging the power
cord of the projector from the AC outlet and
turning off the equipment to be connected.
■Please read the operation manuals of the pro-
jector and the equipment to be connected for
instructions on how to make the connections.
Using the projector in other countries
■The power supply voltage and the shape of
the plug may vary depending on the region
or country you are using the projector in.
When using the projector overseas, make
sure you use an appropriate power cord for
the country you are in.
Temperature monitor function
■If the projector starts to over-
heat due to setup problems
or blockage of the air vents,
“
” and “” will illumi-
nate in the lower left corner of the picture. If the
temperature continues to rise, the lamp will turn
off, the temperature warning indicator on the
projector will blink, and after a 90-second cool-
ing-off period the projector will enter the standby
mode. Refer to “Maintenance Indicators” on
page 59 for details.
Info
•The cooling fan regulates the internal tem-
perature, and its performance is automati-
cally controlled. The sound of the fan may
change during projector operation due to
changes in the fan speed. This does not
indicate malfunction.

IntroductionUsing the Remote Control
Inserting the Batteries
1Pull down the tab on the cover and
remove the cover towards the di-
rection of the arrow.
2Insert the included batteries.
•Insert the batteries making sure the po-
larities correctly match the 
 and 
marks inside the battery compartment.
3Insert the lower tab of the cover
into the opening, and lower the
cover until it clicks in place.
Incorrect use of the batteries may cause them to leak or explode. Please follow the precautions below.
 Caution
•Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with alkaline or manganese batteries.
•Insert the batteries making sure the polarities correctly match the 
 and  marks inside the battery compart-
ment.
•Batteries of different types have different properties, therefore do not mix batteries of different types.
•Do not mix new and old batteries.
This may shorten the life of new batteries or may cause old batteries to leak.
•Remove the batteries from the remote control once they have run out, as leaving them in can cause them to leak.
Battery fluid from leaked batteries is harmful to skin, therefore ensure you wipe them first and then remove them
using a cloth.
•The batteries included with this projector may run down in a short period, depending on how they are kept. Be
sure to replace them as soon as possible with new batteries.
•Remove the batteries from the remote control if you will not be using the remote control for a long time.
•Comply with the rules (ordinance) of each local government when disposing of worn-out batteries.
Usable Range
The remote control can be used to control
the projector within the ranges shown in the
illustration.
Note
•The signal from the remote control can be re-
flected off a screen for easy operation. How-
ever, the effective distance of the signal may
differ depending on the screen material.
When using the remote control:
•Take care not to drop, expose to moisture or
high temperature.
•The remote control may malfunction under a
fluorescent lamp. In this case, move the pro-
jector away from the fluorescent lamp.
