Avoid use in locations where exhaust or streams of air from projector, other devices and air conditioners
ow between the projector and the screen.
The lens of projector is affected by the heat from the luminous source. Because of this, the focusing may
z
not be stable right after the power is turned on. Focusing is stabled after projecting image for 30 minutes
and longer.
Do not touch the surface of the projection lens with your bare hand.
J
If the surface of the projection lens becomes dirty from ngerprints or anything else, this will be magnied and
projected onto the screen.
DLP chips
J
The DLP chips are precision-made. Note that in rare cases, pixels of high precision could be missing or
z
always lit, but this is not a malfunction.
Directing a high power laser beam onto the projection window surface can damage the DLP chips.
z
Optical components
J
Operating the projector in an environment with high temperature or heavy exposure to dust or tobacco smoke
will reduce the service life of the optical components and may necessitate their replacement within less than
one year of use. For details, consult your dealer.
Lamp
J
The luminous source of the projector is a mercury lamp with high internal pressure.
A high pressure mercury lamp has following characteristics.
The brightness of the lamp will decrease by duration of usage.
z
The lamp may burst with sound or shorten life by shock or chipping.
z
The life of the lamp varies greatly depending on individual specicities and usage conditions. In particular,
z
continuous use over 22 hours and frequent on/off switching of the power greatly deteriorate the lamp and
affect the lamp life.
In rare cases, the lamp burst shortly after the projection.
z
The risk of bursting increases when the lamp is used beyond its replacement cycle. Make sure to replace
z
the lamp unit consistently. (Æ page 46)
If the lamp bursts, gas contained inside of the lamp is released in a form of smoke.
z
It is recommended to store replacement lamps for contingency.
z
It is recommended to have authorized engineer or your dealer replace the lamp unit.
z
About connections to computer or peripheral device
J

Setting Remote control ID numbers
When you use the system with multiple projectors, you can operate all the projectors simultaneously or each
projector individually using single remote control, if unique ID number is assigned to each projector.
After setting the remote control ID of the projector, set the same remote control ID to the remote control.
There are 7 different remote control IDs: [All], [ID1]~[ID6], the initial remote control ID is [All].
Setting the remote control ID
J
1) While holding down the <MENU> key, press the <IMAGE> key. The number of times you press the
<IMAGE> key corresponds to the desired remote control ID.
The number of times to press the <IMAGE> key is as follows:
ID1 = Once, ID2 = Twice, ID3 = 3 times, ID4 = 4 times, ID5 = 5 times, ID6 = 6 times.
2) The remote control ID is changed when the <MENU> button is released.
JResetting the remote control ID
The remote control ID is reset to [All] (default) by pressing the <MENU> key and <IMAGE> key at the
same time for 10 seconds or more.
Note
When operating the projector under [All] code, you can operate several projectors at the same time.
z
If the <IMAGE> button is pressed 7 times or more, the remote control ID cannot be changed (the operation is invalid).
z
For setting the remote control ID codes, see [Remote ID] in the [Setting] menu. (
zÆ page 40)
If the battery is not in use for a long period of time and is removed from the remote control, the remote control ID will be
z
reset.
