ATTENTION Precautions to observe when connecting other devices to the projector
• Whenever attempting to connect other devices to the projector, please thoroughly
read the manual of each device to be connected.
• TURN OFF ALL DEVICES prior to connecting them to the projector. Attempting to
connect a live device to the projector may generate extremely loud noises or other
abnormalities that may result in malfunction and/or damage to the device and/or
projector. Refer to the “Technical” for the pin assignment of connectors and
RS-232C communication data.
• Make sure that you connect devices to the correct port. Incorrect connection may
result in malfunction and/or damage to the device and/or projector.
•Some cables have to be used with core set. Use the accessory cable or a designated-
type cable for the connection. For cables that have a core only at one end,
connect the core to the projector.
• Secure the screws on the connectors and tighten.
CONNECTING YOUR DEVICES
Devices You Can Connect to the Projector

USING THE REMOTE CONTROL
CAUTION Precautions to observe in regards to the batteries
Always handle the batteries with care and use them only as directed. Improper use may result in
battery cracking or leakage, which could result in fire, injury and/or pollution of the surrounding environment.
•Keep the battery away from children and pets.
•
Be sure to use only the batteries specified for use with the remote control. Do not mix new batteries with used ones.
• When inserting batteries, verify that the plus and minus terminals are aligned correctly (as indicated in the remote control).
•When you dispose the battery, you should obey the law in the relative area or country.

•The remote control works with both
the projector's front and rear remote
sensors.
•The range of the remote sensor on
the front is 3 meters with a 90-degree
range (45 degrees to the left and
right of the remote sensor), and back
is 3 meters with a 60-degree range.
•Since the remote control uses
infrared light to send signals to the
projector (Class 1 LED), be sure to
use the remote control in an area free
from obstacles that could block the
remote control's output signal to the
projector.
Precautions to observe when using the remote control
•Do not drop or otherwise expose the remote control to physical impact.
•Do not get the remote control wet or place it on wet objects. Doing so may result in
malfunction.
•Remove the batteries from the remote control and store them in a safe place if you
won't be using the remote control for an extended period.
•Replace the batteries whenever the remote control starts to malfunction.
•When strong light, such as direct sunlight or light from an extremely close range
(such as from an inverter fluorescent lamp), hits the projector's remote sensor, the
remote control may cease to function. Adjust the direction of the projector to keep
light from directly hitting the projector's remote sensor.
