Important safety instructions
Your projector is designed and tested to meet the latest standards for safety of information
technology equipment. However, to ensure safe use of this product, it is important that you
follow the instructions mentioned in this manual and marked on the product.
Safety Instructions
1. Please read this manual before you operate your projector. Save it for future
reference.
2. Do not look straight at the projector lens during operation. The intense light beam
may damage your eyes.
3. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
4. Always open the lens shutter or remove the lens cap when the projector lamp is
on.
5. In some countries, the line voltage is NOT stable. This projector is designed to operate
safely within a mains voltage between 100 to 240 volts AC, but could fail if power
cuts or surges of ±10 volts occur. In areas where the mains voltage may fluctuate
or cut out, it is recommended that you connect your projector through a power
stabilizer, surge protector or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
6. Do not block the projection lens with any objects when the projector is under
operation as this could cause the objects to become heated and deformed or even
cause a fire. To temporarily turn off the lamp, press BLANK on the projector or
remote control.
7. The lamp becomes extremely hot during operation. Allow the projector to cool for
approximately 45 minutes prior to removing the lamp assembly for replacement.
8. Do not operate lamps beyond the rated lamp life. Excessive operation of lamps
beyond the rated life could cause them to break on rare occasions.
9. Never replace the lamp assembly or any electronic components unless the projector is
unplugged.
10. Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall,
sustaining serious damage.
11. Do not attempt to disassemble this projector. There are dangerous high voltages inside
which may cause death if you should come into contact with live parts. The only user
serviceable part is the lamp which has its own removable cover.
Under no circumstances should you ever undo or remove any other covers. Refer
servicing only to suitably qualified professional service personnel.
12. Do not place this projector in any of the following environments.
- Space that is poorly ventilated or confined. Allow at least 50 cm clearance from walls
and free flow of air around the projector.
- Locations where temperatures may become excessively high, such as the inside of a
car with all windows rolled up.
- Locations where excessive humidity, dust, or cigarette smoke may contaminate optical
components, shortening the projector's life span and darkening the picture.
- Locations near fire alarms
- Locations with an ambient temperature above 40°C / 104°F
- Locations where the altitudes are higher than 3000 m (10000 feet).

3
13. Do not block the ventilation holes. If the ventilation holes are seriously obstructed,
overheating inside the projector may result in a fire.
- Do not place this projector on a blanket, bedding or any other soft surface.
- Do not cover this projector with a cloth or any other item.
- Do not place inflammables near the projector.
14. Always place the projector on a level, horizontal surface during operation.
- Do not use if tilted at an angle of more than 10 degrees left to right, nor at angle of
more than 15 degrees front to back. Using the projector when it is not fully horizontal
may cause a malfunction of, or damage to, the lamp.
15. Do not stand the projector on end vertically. Doing so may cause the projector to fall
over, causing injury or resulting in damage to the projector.
16. Do not step on the projector or place any objects upon it. Besides probable physical
damage to the projector, doing so may result in accidents and possible injury.
17. Do not place liquids near or on the projector. Liquids spilled into the projector may
cause it to fail. If the projector does become wet, disconnect it from the power
supply's wall socket and call your local service center to have the projector serviced.
18. This product is capable of displaying inverted pictures for ceiling mount installation.
Use only qualified ceiling mount kit for mounting the projector and ensure it is
securely installed.
19. When the projector is under operation, you may sense some heated air and odor from
its ventilation grill. It is a normal phenomenon and not a product defect.
20. Do not use the Security bar for transporting or installation. It should be used with a
commercially available theft prevention cable.
Safety instructions for ceiling mounting of the
projector
We want you to have a pleasant experience using your projector, so we need to bring this
safety matter to your attention to prevent damage to person and property.
If you intend to mount your projector on the ceiling, we strongly recommend that you use a
proper fitting projector ceiling mount kit and that you ensure it is securely and safely
installed.
If you use an inappropriate projector ceiling mount kit, there is a safety risk that the
projector may fall from the ceiling due to an improper attachment through the use of the
wrong gauge or length screws.
You can purchase a projector ceiling mount kit from the place you purchased your projector.
We recommend that you also purchase a separate security cable and attach it securely to
both the anti-theft lock slot on the projector and the base of the ceiling mount bracket. This
will perform the secondary role of restraining the projector should its attachment to the
mounting bracket become loose.

The capability of operating your computer with the remote control gives you more
flexibility when delivering presentations.
1. Connect the projector to your PC or notebook with a USB cable prior to using the
remote control in place of your computer’s mouse. See "Connecting a computer" on
page 16 for details.
2. Set the input signal to D-Sub / Comp. 1 or D-Sub / Comp. 2.
3. Press Mouse on the remote control to switch from the normal mode to the mouse
mode. An icon appears on the screen to indicate the activation of the mouse mode.
4. Perform the desired mouse controls on your remote control.
• To move the cursor on the screen, press / / / .
• To left-click, press .
• To right-click, press .
• To operate your display software program (on a connected PC) which responds to
page up/down commands (like Microsoft PowerPoint), press PgUp/PgDn.
• To return to the normal mode, press Mouse again or other keys except for the
mouse related multi-function keys.
Remote control effective range
The Infra-Red (IR) remote control is located on the front
of the projector. The remote control must be held at an
angle within 30 degrees perpendicular to the projector's
IR remote control sensor to function correctly. The
distance between the remote control and the sensor should
not exceed 8 meters (~ 26 feet).
Make sure that there are no obstacles between the remote
control and the IR sensor on the projector that might
obstruct the infra-red beam.

Replacing the remote control batteries
1. To open the battery cover, turn the remote control over to view its back, press on the
finger grip on the cover and pull it up in the direction of the arrow as illustrated.
2. Remove any existing batteries (if necessary) and install two AAA batteries observing
the battery polarities as indicated in the base of the battery compartment. Positive (+)
goes to positive and negative (-) goes to negative.
3. Refit the cover by aligning it with the base and pushing it back down into position.
Stop when it clicks into place.
WARNING
• Avoid leaving the remote control and batteries in an excessive heat or humid environment
like the kitchen, bathroom, sauna, sunroom or in a closed car.
• Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the battery manufacturer.
• Dispose of the used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions and local
environment regulations for your region.
• Never throw the batteries into a fire. There may be danger of an explosion.
• If the batteries are drained or if you will not be using the remote control for an extended
period of time, remove the batteries to avoid damage to the remote control from possible
battery leakage.

Positioning your projector
Choosing a location
Your room layout or personal preference will dictate which installation location you select.
Take into consideration the size and position of your screen, the location of a suitable power
outlet, as well as the location and distance between the projector and the rest of your
equipment.
Your projector is designed to be installed in one of the following 4 possible installation
locations:
1. Front Table
Select this location with the projector placed near
the floor in front of the screen. This is the most
common way to position the projector for quick
setup and portability.
2. Front Ceiling
Select this location with the projector suspended
upside-down from the ceiling in front of the
screen.
Purchase the projector ceiling mount kit from your
dealer to mount your projector on the ceiling.
Set Front Ceiling in the SYSTEM SETTING:
BASIC > Projector Position menu after you turn
the projector on.
3. Rear Ceiling
Select this location with the projector suspended
upside-down from the ceiling behind the screen.
Note that a special rear projection screen and the
projector ceiling mounting kit are required for this
installation location.
Set Rear Ceiling in the SYSTEM SETTING:
BASIC > Projector Position menu after you turn
the projector on.
4. Rear Table
Select this location with the projector placed near
the floor behind the screen.
Note that a special rear projection screen is
required.
Set Rear Table in the SYSTEM SETTING:
BASIC > Projector Position menu after you turn
the projector on.

There is 3% tolerance among these numbers due to optical component variations. It is
recommended that if you intend to permanently install the projector, you should physically
test the projection size and distance using the actual projector in situ before you permanently
install it, so as to make allowance for this projector's optical characteristics. This will help you
determine the exact mounting position so that it best suits your installation location.
