Projector features / About contents of package

Projector features

This projector is used to project various computer signals as well as NTSC / PAL

/ SECAM video signals onto a screen. It requires just a little space for installation

and gets a large image from short distance.

High Brightness



Newly developed 165W UHB (Ultra High Brightness) lamp gives you a higher

brightness image on a screen. The image can be still kept as bright and clean

enough for use in bright rooms.

Low Noise

WHISPER mode is equipped for reducing acoustic noise to realize quieter

operation. It is perfect for use in low luminance rooms where low noise is more

important than brightness.

Compact Body

Even with its many features, this projector is extremely compact and slim,

which gives you more ﬂexibility and usability to use it where you want.

Preparations

Putting batteries

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.

• Do not give the battery a physical impact.

• If you observe a leakage of a battery, wipe out the ﬂower and then replace

a battery. If the ﬂower adheres your body or clothes, rinse well with water

immediately.

• Obey the local laws on disposing a battery.

To use the remote control, please load the batteries. Whenever the remote control

starts to malfunction, replace the batteries. If you won’t use the remote control for

an extended period, remove the batteries from the remote control and store them

in a safe place.

Preparations

Using the remote control

CAUTION ►Be careful in handling the remote control. Incorrect handling

could cause damage or malfunction.

• 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.

• 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 control may not function correctly. Adjust the direction of the

projector to keep light from directly hitting the projector’s remote sensor.

• 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 remote control’s output signal to the projector.

Lamp

HIGH VOLTAGE

HIGH TEMPERATURE

HIGH PRESSURE

WARNING

►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 containing

mercury to escape from the projector’s vent holes.

►About disposal of a lamp • This product contains a mercury lamp; do not

put in trash. Dispose of in accord with environmental laws.

For lamp recycling, go to www.lamprecycle.org. (in the US)

For product disposal, contact your local government agency or www.eiae.org (in

the US) or www.epsc.ca (in Canada).

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

from the

power

• 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.

• Before replacing the lamp, turn the projector off and unplug the power

outlet

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 door 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 door 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.
