About the Temperature Monitor Function:
·If the projector starts to overheat due to set-up problems or a dirty air filter, ÒTEMP.Ó will flash
in the upper-left corner of the picture. If the temperature continues to rise, then the lamp will
turn off, the TEMPERATURE WARNING indicator will flash, and after a 90-second cooling-off
period the power will shut off. Refer to page 31, ÒMaintenance Indicators,Ó when the ÒTEMP.Ó
warning appears in the picture.
·The cooling fan regulates the internal temperature, and its performance is automatically
controlled. The sound of the fan may change during operation due to changes in the fan speed.
About the Lamp Monitor Function:
·If the lamp is used for more than 1900 hours, 
 ÒLAMPÓ will flash in yellow letters on the screen
for 60 seconds, as shown on the right, when you turn the projector on. This is to alert you that
it is time to replace the lamp. Replace the lamp according to the procedure given on page 32.
·When the number of hours the lamp is used reaches 2000, the power automatically turns off
and the projector enters the standby condition.
·Refer to page 27, ÒMaintenance Indicators,Ó when the ÒLAMPÓ warning appears on the screen.

CAUTIONS:
·Do not touch the lamp, lamp cage cover, cooling
fun, and their surrounding areas while the projector
is on. They are very hot and may cause burns.
·Allow at least 4 (10 cm) of space between the
cooling fan (exhaust vent) and the other nearest
wall or obstruction.
·If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a protection
device will automatically turn off the projector lamp.
This does not indicate a malfunction. Remove the
projector plug from the wall outlet and wait 10
minutes. Then turn on the power by plugging the
cord back in. This will return the projector to its
normal mode.

							E-7
Using the optional cable with the remote control
·When the remote control cannot be used due to the
range or positioning of the projector (rear projection,
etc.), connect the optional cable from the Wired
Remote Control Jack of the remote control to the
Wired Remote Input on the back of the projector.
Note:
·The signal transmitter does not function when the optional
cable is connected to the remote control.
Inserting the Batteries
Remove the battery cover as shown and insert four AA
size batteries making sure their polarities match the (+)
and (Ð) marks inside the battery compartment.
Notes:
Incorrect use of batteries may cause them to leak or burst.
·Insert the batteries with the (+) and (Ð) polarities as indicated.
·Remove the batteries if the remote control will not be operated
for an extended period of time.
·Maintain the batteries in a clean condition.
·Do not mix different brands of batteries. The life expectancy of
the new batteries will be shortened and the old batteries may
leak.
·When the batteries have been used up, remove them
immediately to prevent leakage and damage. Leaked battery
fluid may irritate the skin. Remove any battery fluid by wiping
with a cloth.
·Due to storage conditions and the shelf life of the supplied
batteries, they may run out after a short time. If so, replace
them with new batteries as soon as possible.
Remote control positioning
Use the remote control as shown in the figures on the left.
Note:
·The signal from the remote control can be reflected off the
screen for easy operation. However, the effective distance of
the signal may differ due to the screen material.
