• Do not place the projector on its side, front or rear position.
• Consult with your dealer before a special installation such as suspending
from a ceiling.
►Place the projector in a cool place, and ensure that there is sufficient
ventilation. The high temperature of the projector could cause fire, burns and/
or malfunction of the projector.
• Do not stop-up, block or otherwise cover the projector's vents.
• Keep a space of 30 cm or more between the sides of the projector and other
objects such as walls.
• Do not place the projector on metallic thing or anything weak in heat.
• Do not place the projector on carpet, cushions or bedding.
• Do not place the projector in direct sunlight or near hot objects such as

Setting up
Connecting your devices
Be sure to read the manuals for devices before connecting them to the projector.
Make sure that all the devices are suitable to be connected with this product, and
prepare the cables required to connect.
Please refer to the following illustrations to connect them.
WARNING ►Do not disassemble or modify the projector and accessories.
►Be careful not to damage the cables, and do not use damaged cables.
CAUTION ►Turn off all devices and unplug their power cords prior to
connecting them to projector. Connecting a live device to the projector may
generate extremely loud noises or other abnormalities that may result in
malfunction or damage to the device and the projector.
►Use appropriate accessory or otherwise designed cables. Ask your dealer
about non-accessory cables which may have to be of a specific length or
equipped with a core. For cables with a core only at one end, connect the end
with the core to the projector.
►Make sure that devices are connected to the correct ports. An incorrect
connection may result in malfunction or damage to the device and the projector.

Setting up
NOTE • Be sure to read the manuals for devices before connecting them to the
projector, and make sure that all the devices are suitable to be connected with this
product. Before connecting to a PC, check the signal level, the signal timing, and the
resolution.
- Some signal may need an adapter to input this projector.
- Some PCs have multiple screen display modes that may include some signals which
are not supported by this projector.
- Although the projector can display signals with resolution up to UXGA (1600X1200),
the signal will be converted to the projector’s panel resolution before being displayed.
The best display performance will be achieved if the resolutions of the input signal and
the projector panel are identical.
• While connecting, make sure that the shape of the cable's connector fits the port to
connect with. And be sure to tighten the screws on connectors with screws.
• When connecting a laptop PC to the projector, be sure to activate the PC’s external
RGB output. (Set the laptop PC to CRT display or to simultaneous LCD and CRT
display.) For details on how this is done, please refer to the instruction manual of the
corresponding laptop PC.
• When the picture resolution is changed on a pc depending on an input, automatic
adjustment function may take some time and may not be completed. In this case,
you may not be able to see a check box to select “Yes/No” for the new resolution on
Windows. Then the resolution will go back to the original. It might be recommended to
use other CRT or LCD monitors to change the resolution.
• In some cases, this projector may not display a proper picture or display any picture on
screen. For example, automatic adjustment may not function correctly with some input
signals. An input signal of composite sync or sync on G may confuse this projector, so
the projector may not display a proper picture.
About Plug-and-Play capability
Plug-and-Play is a system composed of a PC, its operating system and peripheral
equipment (i.e. display devices). This projector is VESA DDC 2B compatible. Plug-and-
Play can be used by connecting this projector to a pc that is VESA DDC (display data
channel) compatible.
• Take advantage of this feature by connecting an RGB cable to the COMPUTER IN1
port (DDC 2B compatible). Plug-and-Play may not work properly if any other type of
connection is attempted.
• Please use the standard drivers in your pc as this projector is a Plug-and-Play monitor.
Connecting your devices (continued)

Setting up
Connecting power supply
At first, make sure that the power switch of the
projector is set to OFF position (marked "O").
1. Put the connector of the power cord into
the AC inlet of the projector.
2. Firmly plug the power cord’s plug into the
outlet.
WARNING ►Please use extra caution when connecting the power cord, as
incorrect or faulty connections may result in fire and/or electrical shock.
• Only use the power cord that came with the projector. If it is damaged, contact
your dealer to newly get correct one.
• Only plug the power cord into an outlet rated for use with the power cord's
specified voltage range. The power outlet should be close to the projector and
easily accessible. Remove the power cord for complete separation.
• Never modify the power cord.
Using the security bar and slot
A commercial anti-theft chain or wire up to
10 mm in diameter can be attached to the
security bar on the projector.
Also this product has the security slot for the
Kensington lock.
For details, see the manual of the security
tool.
WARNING ►Do not use the security bar and slot to prevent the projector
from falling down, since it is not designed for it.
CAUTION ►Do not place anti-theft chain or wire near the exhaust vents. It
may become too hot.
NOTE • The security bar and slot is not comprehensive theft prevention
measures. It is intended to be used as supplemental theft prevention measure.

Remote control
Putting batteries
Please set the batteries to the remote control before using it. If the remote control starts
to malfunction, try to replace the batteries. If you will not use the remote control for long
period, remove the batteries from the remote control and store them in a safe place.
1. Holding the hook part of the battery
cover, remove it.
2.
Align and insert the two AA batteries
according to their plus and minus terminals
as indicated in the remote control.
3.
Replace the battery cover in the direction of the arrow and snap it back into place.
Remote control
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 fire, injury and/or pollution of the surrounding environment.
• Be sure to use only the batteries specified. 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 fire or water. Keep batteries in a dark, cool and dry place.
• If you observe battery leakage, wipe out the leakage and then replace a battery. If the
leakage adheres to your body or clothes, rinse well with water immediately.
• Obey the local laws on disposing the battery.
About the remote control signal
The remote control works with the projector’s
remote sensor. This projector has a remote sensor
on the front.
The sensor senses the signal within the following
range when the sensor is active:
60 degrees (30 degrees to the left and right of the
sensor) within 3 meters about.
NOTE • The remote control signal reflected in the screen or the like may
be available. If it is difficult to send the signal to the sensor directly, attempt to
make the signal reflect.
• The remote control uses infrared light to send signals to the projector (Class 1 LED),
so be sure to use the remote control in an area free from obstacles that could block
the remote control’s signal to the projector.
• The remote control may not work correctly if strong light (such as direct sun light) or light
from an extremely close range (such as from an inverter fluorescent lamp) shines on the
remote sensor of the projector. Adjust the position of projector avoiding those lights.
