3.1 Safety
This device complies with relevant safety regulations for data processing equipment for use in
an office environment.
Before using the projector for the first time, please read the safety instructions thoroughly.
3.2 Safety Instructions
Use only the cables and cords supplied with the projector or original replacement cables. Using
other cables or cords may lead to malfunction and permanent damage of the projector
Only open the projector to change the lamp. The projector contains no other user serviceable
parts. Refer all repairs to qualified personnel only.
When changing the lamp always replace it with a lamp of the same type and rating.
Make sure that no objects enter into the vents and openings of the projector. Do not spill any
liquids on the projector or into the vents or openings of the projector.
Do not look into the projection lens when the projector is switched on. The strong light may
permanently damage sight.
Place the projector on a stable surface, or mount it securely using an approved ceiling-mount.
Do not drop the projector.
Always operate the projector horizontally. Operating the projector in other positions may reduce
the lamp life significantly, and may lead to overheating, resulting in malfunctioning.
Always allow ample airflow through the projector. Never block any of the air vents. Never cover
the projector in any way while it is running. Allow for sufficient distance to walls and ceilings to
avoid overheating.
The projector is designed for indoor use only. Never operate it outdoors.
Do not operate the projector outside its temperature and humidity specifications, as this may
result in overheating and malfunctioning.
Only connect the projector to signal sources and voltages as described in the technical
specification. Connecting to unspecified signal sources or voltages may lead to malfunction and
permanent damage of the projector.

The first time the C OMPACT V IEW
HMR-15 is switched on, a
message will appear on the
screen requesting a valid license
key (activation code) for the
projector. The message box will
also indicate the following details
for the projector:
Address
Software version
IP address
The following procedures now require completion before the C OMPACT V IEW HMR-15 projector is
ready for use.
1. Load CompactDesigner/CompactControl to PC
2. Connect control interface
3. Set functionality codes for projectors
4. Set computer source for projectors
5.1 Load CompactDesigner/CompactControl to PC
If CompactDesigner or CompactControl software has not yet been loaded to the PC designated
as the control PC for the projection theatre, then load it now.
NOTE: CompactDesigner or CompactControl software will only be required to be loaded once
for a projection theatre, regardless of the number of projectors in the theatre.
5.2 Connect control interface
Connect the Control PC
(running CompactDesigner or
CompactControl) to the
projectors RS232 In port (A).
The supplied 6 lead cable
plugs into the Control PC’s
serial port using a RJ12 6 pin
to serial DB-9 female adapter.
Alternatively connect to either

5.2.1 Connecting multiple projectors
Multiple projectors may be connected together in a ‘daisy chain’ by one of the following
methods:-
1. By cable
2. By LAN
3. By WLAN (Optional)
5.2.1.1 By cable
Connecting multiple projectors
together by cable is achieved by
using the input and output RS232
ports on each projector. The first
projector is connected to the control
PC via the RS232 In port (A) as
described above. Then another 6
lead cable connects between the
RS232 Out port (B) and the RS232 In
port (A) of the next projector. This
‘chain’ can be extended up to the
theoretical limit of 255 projectors.
