Connecting your devices  
CAUTION  
X Turn off all devices prior to connecting them to the projector. Attempting to connect a  
live device to the projector may generate extremely loud noises or other abnormalities  
that may result in malfunction and/or damage to the device and/or projector.  
X Use the accessory cable or a designated-type cable for the connection. Some cables  
have to be used with core set. A cable that is too long may cause a certain picture deg-  
radation. Please consult with your dealer for details. For cables that have a core only at  
one end, connect the core to the projector.  
X Make sure that you connect devices to the correct port. Incorrect connection may result  
in malfunction and/or damage to the device and/or projector.  
NOTE . Whenever attempting to connect a laptop computer to the projector, be sure to acti-  
vate the laptop's RGB external image output (set the laptop to CRT display or to simulta-  
neous LCD and CRT display). For details on how this is done, please refer to the instruction  
manual of the corresponding laptop computer.  
o Secure the screws on the connectors and tighten.  
o Some computers may have multiple display screen modes. Use of some of these modes  
will not be possible with this projector.  
o For some RGB input modes, the optional Mac adapter is necessary.  
o When the image resolution is changed on a computer, depending on an input, automatic  
adjust 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 res-  
olution will go back to the original. It might be recommended to use other CRT or TFT mon-  
itors to change the resolution.  
About Plug-and-Play capability  
Plug-and-Play is a system composed of the computer, its operating system and peripheral  
equipment (i.e. display devices). This projector is compatible with VESA DDC 2B. Plug-and-  
Play can be achieved by connecting this projector to computers that are VESA DDC (display  
data channel) compatible.  
o Please take advantage of this function by connecting the accessory RGB cable to the RGB  
port (DDC 2B compatible). Plug-and-Play may not work properly if any other type of connec-  
tion is attempted.  
o Please use the standard drivers in your computer as this projector is a Plug-and-Play mon-  
itor.

Operating the remote control  
CAUTION  
X Be careful in handling the remote control.  
* 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. Doing so may result in mal-  
function.  
* 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 fluorescent lamp), hit the projector's remote sensor, the remote con-  
trol may cease to function. 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.  
about 3 meter  
• 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 reflected in the screen etc. may be available. If it is difficult 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 re-  
mote control's output signal to the projector.

WARNING  
HIGH VOLTAGE  
HIGH TEMPERATURE  
HIGH PRESSURE  
X The projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp. The lamp can break with a loud bang,  
or burn out, if jolted or scratched, handled while hot, or worn over time. Note that each lamp has a  
different lifetime, and some may burst or burn out soon after you start using them. In addition,  
when the bulb bursts, it is possible for shards of glass to fly into the lamp housing, and for gas con-  
taining mercury to escape from the projector’s vent holes.  
X About disposal of a lamp This product contains a mercury lamp; do not put in trash. Dis-  
pose of in accord with environmental laws.  
For more information, call your dealer.  
• If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), unplug the power  
cord from the outlet, and make sure to request a replacement lamp from your  
local dealer.  
Note that shards of glass could damage the projector’s internals, or cause injury  
during handling, so please do not try to clean the projector or replace the lamp  
yourself.  
Disconnect  
the plug  
• If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), ventilate the  
room well, and make sure not to breathe the gas that comes out of the projector  
vents, or get it in your eyes or mouth.  
from the  
power outlet  
• Before replacing the lamp, turn the projector off and unplug the power cord, then  
wait at least 45 minutes for the lamp to cool sufficiently. Handling the lamp while  
hot can cause burns, as well as damaging the lamp.  
• Never unscrew except the appointed (marked by an arrow) screws.  
• Do not open the lamp cover while the projector is suspended from above. This is  
dangerous, since if the lamp’s bulb has broken, the shards will fall out when the  
cover is opened. In addition, working in high places is dangerous, so ask your  
local dealer to have the lamp replaced even if the bulb is not broken.  
• Do not use the projector with the lamp cover removed. At the lamp replacing,  
make sure that the screws are screwed in firmly. Loose screws could result in  
damage or injury.  
• Use only the lamp of the specified type.  
• If the lamp breaks soon after the first time it is used, it is possible that there are  
electrical problems elsewhere besides the lamp. If this happens, contact your  
local dealer or a service representative.  
• Handle with care: jolting or scratching could cause the lamp bulb to burst during  
use.  
• If the indicators or a message prompts you to replace the lamp (see the section  
“Related Messages” and “Regarding the indicator Lamps”), replace the lamp as  
soon as possible.  
• Using the lamp for long periods of time, or past the replacement date, could  
cause it to burst. Do not use old (used) lamps; this is a cause of breakage.
