MAINTENANCE AND SECURITY 
Replacing the Projection Lamp 
The projection lamp should be replaced when it burns out. It should only be r eplaced with a certified 
replacement part, which you can order from your local dealer.  
Important: 
a.  The projection lamp used in this product contains a small amount of mercury. 
b.  Do not dispose this product  with general household waste. 
c. Disposal of this product must be carried out in a ccordance with the regulations of your local  
authority. 
Warning: 
Be sure to turn off and unplug the projector at least 30 minutes before replacing the lamp. Failure to 
do so could result in a severe burn. 
 
Caution: 
In rare cases the lamp bulb may burn out during  normal operation and cause glass dust or shards 
to be discharged outward from the rear exhaust vent. 
Do not inhale or do not touch glass dust or shards. Doing so could result in injury.  
Always keep your face away from the exhaust vent  so that you do not suffer from the gas and bro-
ken shards of the lamp. 
When removing the lamp from a ceiling-mounted proj ector, make sure that no one is under the pro-
jector. Glass fragments could fall if the lamp has been burned out.  
！ IF A LAMP EXPLODES 
If a lamp explodes, the gas and broken shards may scatter inside the projector and they may come 
out of the exhaust vent. The gas contains toxic mercury. 
Open windows and doors for ventilation. 
If you inhale the gas or the shards  of the broken lamp enter your eyes or mouth, consult the doctor 
immediately.  
1.  Loosen the single screw on 
the lamp compartment cover.

•  Use some other electrical device to confirm that the electrical outlet is working. 
•   Ensure the projector is turned on. 
•   Ensure all connections are securely attached.  
•   Ensure the attached device is turned on. 
•   Ensure a connected PC is not in suspending mode. 
•   Ensure a connected notebook computer is configured for an external display. 
(This is usually done by pressing an Fn-key combination on the notebook.) 
Tips for Troubleshooting 
In each problem-specific section, tr y the steps in the order suggested. This may help you to solve the 
problem more quickly. 
Try to pin point the problem and thus  avoid replacing non-defective parts.  
For example, if you replace batteries and the problem remains, put the original batteries back and go 
to the next step.  
Keep a record of the steps you take when troubles hooting: The information may be useful when call-
ing for technical support or for passing on to service personnel.

HDMI Q & A 
Q. What is the difference between a “Standard” HDMI cable and a “High-Speed” HDMI 
cable? 
Recently, HDMI Licensing, LLC announced that  cables would be tested as Standard or High-
Speed cables.  
․ Standard (or “category 1”) HDMI cables have been tested to perform at speeds of 75Mhz or 
up to 2.25Gbps, which is the equivalent of a 720p/1080i signal.  
․ High Speed (or “category 2”) HDMI cables have been tested to perform at speeds of 
340Mhz or up to 10.2Gbps, which is the highe st bandwidth currently available over an 
HDMI cable and can successfully handle 1080p signals including those at increased color 
depths and/or increased refresh rates from t he Source. High-Speed cables are also able to 
accommodate higher resolution displays, such as WQXGA cinema monitors (resolution of 
2560 x 1600). 
 
Q. How do I run HDMI cables longer than 10 meters? 
There are many HDMI Adopters working on HDMI  solutions that extend a cable’s effective 
distance from the typical 10 meter range to much longer lengths. These companies 
manufacture a variety of solutions that includ e active cables (active electronics built into 
cables that boost and extend the cable’s signal), repeaters, amplifiers as well as CAT5/6 and 
fiber solutions. 
 
Q. How can I tell if a cable is an HDMI certified cable? 
All HDMI products are required to be certified  by the manufacturer as part of the HDMI 
Compliance Test Specification. However, ther e may be instances where cables bearing the 
HDMI logo are available but  have not been properly tested. HDM I Licensing, LLC actively 
investigates these instances to ensure that  the HDMI trademark is properly used in the 
market. We recommend that consumers buy  their cables from a reputable source and a 
company that is trusted.
