Setting up
• 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 ts the
port to connect with. And be sure to tighten the screws on connectors with

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.
Installing the batteries
Please insert the batteries into 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
(HITACHI MAXELL, Part No. LR6 or R6P)
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.
►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 re, injury and/or pollution of the surrounding environment.
• Be sure to use only the batteries speci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 place a battery in a re 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.
WARNING
• The remote control signal reected in the screen or the like may be available.
If it is difcult to send the signal to the sensor directly, attempt to make the signal reect.
• 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 uorescent
lamp) shines on the remote sensor of the projector. Adjust the position of
projector avoiding those lights.
