Using the Remote Control
Inserting the Batteries
1  Pull down the tab on the cover 
and remove the cover towards 
the direction of the arrow.
2  Insert the supplied batteries and 
put back the cover. 
• Make sure the polarities correctly match 
the 
m and n marks inside the battery 
compartment.
• When putting back the cover, be sure that 
the cover clicks in place and settles.
Usable Range
The remote control can be used to control 
the projector within the ranges shown in the 
illustration.
Note
• Remote control sensor is located on both the 
front and rear of the projector.
• The signal from the remote control can be 
refl  ected 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:• Be sure not to drop, expose to moisture or high 
temperature.
• The remote control may malfunction under a 
fl  uorescent lamp. In this case, move the projec-
tor away from the fl uorescent lamp.

Incorrect use of the batteries may cause them to leak or explode. Please follow the precautions below
 CautionDanger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with alkaline or manganese batteries.
Insert the batteries making sure the polarities correctly match the m and n marks inside the battery compartment.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 fl uid from leaked batteries is harmful to skin, therefore ensure you wipe them fi rst 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. •

Setting Up the Projector
Setting Up the Projector
For optimal image quality, position the projector perpendicular to the screen with the projector’s feet  at and 
level.
Note
• The projector lens should be centered in the middle of the screen. If the horizontal line passing through 
the lens center is not perpendicular to the screen, the image will be distorted, making viewing diffi cult.
• For optimal image, position the screen so that it is not in direct sunlight or room light. Light falling directly 
on the screen washes out the colors, making viewing diffi cult. Close the curtains and dim the lights when 
setting up the screen in a sunny or bright room.
Standard Setup (Front Projection)
  Place the projector at the required distance from the screen according to the desired picture size.
Example of standard setup
Side View
Note
• Refer to page 18 for additional information concerning “Screen Size and Projection Distance”.
