Projector features
This projector is used to project various computer signals as well as NTSC / PAL
/ SECAM video signals onto a screen. It requires just a little space for installation
and gets a large image from short distance.

High Brightness
Newly developed 165W UHB (Ultra High Brightness) lamp gives you a higher
brightness image on a screen. The image can be still kept as bright and clean
enough for use in bright rooms.

Low Noise
WHISPER mode is equipped for reducing acoustic noise to realize quieter
operation. It is perfect for use in low luminance rooms where low noise is more
important than brightness.

Compact Body
Even with its many features, this projector is extremely compact and slim,
which gives you more fl exibility and usability to use it where you want.
About contents of package

Preparations
Putting batteries
WARNING
►
Always handle the batteries with care and use them only as
directed. Improper use may result in battery explosion, cracking or leakage,
which could result in fi re, injury and/or pollution of the surrounding environment.
• Be sure to use only the batteries specifi ed. Do not use batteries of different
types at the same time. Do not mix a new battery with used one.
• Make sure the plus and minus terminals are correctly aligned when loading a
battery.
• Keep a battery away from children and pets.
• Do not recharge, short circuit, solder or disassemble a battery.
• Do not allow a battery in a fi re or water. Keep batteries in a dark, cool and dry
place.
• Do not give the battery a physical impact.
• If you observe a leakage of a battery, wipe out the fl ower and then replace
a battery. If the fl ower adheres your body or clothes, rinse well with water
immediately.
• Obey the local laws on disposing a battery.
To use the remote control, please load the batteries. Whenever the remote control
starts to malfunction, replace the batteries. If you won’t use the remote control for
an extended period, remove the batteries from the remote control and store them
in a safe place.
1.
Remove the battery cover.
Slide back and remove the battery cover in the direction of the arrow.
2.
Take old batteries out and/or put new batteries in.
When putting in batteries, align and insert the two AA batteries according to
their plus and minus terminals as indicated in the remote control.
3.
Close the battery cover.
Replace the battery cover in the direction of the arrow and snap it back into
place.

Preparations
Using the remote control
CAUTION
►
Be careful in handling the remote control. Incorrect handling
could cause damage or malfunction.
• 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.
• 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 lights such as direct sunlight or light from an extremely close
range (such as from an inverter fl uorescent lamp) hit the projector’s remote
sensor, the remote control may not function correctly. Adjust the direction of the
projector to keep light from directly hitting the projector’s remote sensor.
The remote control works with the projector’s remote sensor.
• The range of the remote sensor is 3 meters with a 60 degree range (30 degrees
to the left and right of the remote sensor).
• Also a remote signal refl ected in the screen etc. may be available. If it is diffi cult
to send a remote signal to the sensor directly, please try.
• Since the remote control uses infrared light to send signals to the projector
(Class1 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.
