*About Cool Down Mode
After projection, the heated lamp will go through a 90-second 
cool-down process known as the cool down mode. This function 
is to prevent damage and deformation that heat from the heated 
lamp may cause to the internal components of this unit. It also pre-
vents lamp breakage and shortened lamp life.
The cool down mode is indicated by the blinking [STAND BY ] in-
dicator. When in the cool down mode, the [OPERATE] button will 
be disabled.After the cool down process is completed, the unit will automati-
cally switch to the standby mode.
Note
When in the cool down mode, do not pull out the plug from the 
power outlet. Also, do not block the air inlets/exhaust vents.
Indicator Display on the Control Panel
In addition to the standby mode, operate mode and cool down mode*, this unit also displays other operational states using diff erent

Installation Environment
This unit is a precision device. Do not install it at the following 
places. Doing so may cause fi  re or malfunction of the unit.
• Where there is water, humidity or dust
• Where the unit may be subjected to oily or cigarette smoke
• On a soft surface such as carpet or cushion
•  Where the unit may be subjected to high temperature due to 
direct sunlight
• Where temperature is high or low
Allowable operation temperature range: 41–95ºF, (5–35 °C)
Allowable relative humidity range: 20% to 80% (no condensa-
tion)
Any room in which there is cigarette smoke or grease Even where 
smoke and grease levels are minimal, prolonged exposure will 
aff ect this unit. This unit emits heat and optical components are 
cooled down by taking in large amount of air. The optical path 
may be soiled by grease/dirt, thus causing images to become 
dark or color projection to deteriorate. When soiling on the opti-
cal components occurs, complete removal of grease/dirt will not 
be possible.
Precaution for Usage
This unit uses a light-source lamp which reaches high tem-
perature when projecting. Please do not use it in the follow-
ing ways. Doing so may cause fi  re or malfunction of the unit.
• Projecting the image while the unit is on its side
• Projecting images outside the specifi ed angle
Do not use this unit by setting it beyond ±5° horizontally (left/ 
right) or ±25° vertically (up/down). This may cause color varia-
tion or shorten the lamp life.
•  Projecting images at places where the air inlets and exhaust 
vents are blocked
Precautions for Installation
Please read the following carefully when installing the unit.
Installing the Projector
Minimum Space Required
Do not use a cover which may enclose this unit air-tight or block 
the air inlets/ exhaust vents. Allow suffi  cient space around this 
unit. When this unit is enclosed in a space of dimensions as in-
dicated on the left, use an air-conditioner so that internal and 
external temperatures are the same.

Projector and Screen Installation
The optimum image can be obtained when the center of the lens and the screen are placed perpendicular to each other. Take note of the 
projection angle when placing them. Failing to do so may give rise to trapezoidal distortion of the projected image.
• This unit does not come with a function to correct trapezoidal distortion.

Eff  ective Range of Remote Control Unit
The operable distance of the remote control unit is about 23 ft. (7 m) for direct reception. The remote control can be used by having the 
transmission signal refl ected off  a screen.
• If a fl uorescent lamp is lit, the remote control unit might not function properly.
When refl ecting off   a screen
Ensure that total of distance A between this unit and screen and distance B between remote control and screen is within 23 ft. (7 m).
• As the eff  ect of signals refl ected from the remote control unit diff  er with the type of screen used, operable distance may decrease. 
When directing remote control unit toward this unit
When aiming the remote control towards the remote sensor on this unit, ensure that the distance to the sensor in front or at the rear of 
this unit is within 23 ft. (7 m).
• If the remote control fails to work properly, move closer to this unit
