Important Operating Considerations for Safety
•
Place the projector in a horizontal position no greater than 15 degrees
off axis.
Do not place objects or people in the 2 foot (.6m) area along the side of the projector.
For ceiling mount applications, this area should be 5 feet (1.5m).
•
Locate the projector in a well-ventilated area without any obstructions
to intake or exhaust vents. Do not place the projector on a tablecloth or
other soft covering that may block the vents.

Refer to this manual for proper startup and shutdown procedures.
In the unlikely event of the lamp rupturing, discard any edible items
placed in the surrounding area and thoroughly clean the area along all
sides of the projector. Wash hands after cleaning the area and handling
the ruptured lamp. This product has a lamp which contains a very
small amount of mercury. Dispose of it as required by local, state or fed-
eral ordinances and regulations. For more information see
Follow these instructions to help ensure image quality and lamp life over
the life of the projector. Failure to follow these instructions may affect the
warranty. For complete details of the warranty, see the Warranty section at

Shutting down the projector
Troubleshooting your setup
The projector automatically blanks the screen after no active source is
detected for 30 minutes. This blank screen helps preserve the life of the pro-
jector. The image returns when an active source is detected or a remote or
keypad button is pressed. The Interactive Display on the projector indicates
the shutdown status.
If your image appears correctly on the screen, skip to the next section
(page 25). If it does not, troubleshoot the setup. The Interactive Display and
LED on top of the projector indicate the state of the projector and can help
you troubleshoot.
Screen Save
Table 1: LED behavior and meaning
You can make the blank screen appear after five minutes by turning on
Screen Save in the Settings>System menu. See page 33. There are six time
utes with five minute intervals.
LED color/behavior
Meaning
solid green
The projector is plugged in, or the projec-
tor has been powered on and the soft-
ware has initialized. The projector has
been turned off and the fans have stopped.
Power Save
The projector also has a Power Save feature that automatically turns the
lamp off after no signals are detected for 5 minutes. After 3 additional min-
utes with no signal, the projector powers down. If an active signal is
received before the projector powers down, the image is displayed. You
must press the Power button to display an image after 30 minutes have
passed. When Power Save is enabled, Screen Save is disabled. See page 33.
blinking green
The power button has been pressed and
the software is initializing, or the projec-
tor is powering down and the fans are
running to cool the lamp.
blinking red
A fan or lamp failure has occurred. Make
sure the vents aren’t blocked (see
page 22). Turn off the projector and wait
one minute, then turn the projector on
again. If the Replace Lamp message
appears, replace the lamp and reset the
lamp timer. Contact Technical Support if
the problem persists.
Turning off the projector
see page 42 for more information
To turn off the projector, press the Power button and verify that you want to
turn the projector off by pressing the Power button again within 3 seconds.
You can cancel the shutdown by not pressing the Power button a second
time. The lamp turns off and the LED blinks green for 1 minute while the
fans continue to run to cool the lamp. When the lamp has cooled, the LED
lights green and the fans stop. Unplug the power cable to completely power
off the projector.

and Video and Computer buttons to switch between sources.
Troubleshooting the remote
•
Make sure the batteries are installed in the proper orientation and are
not dead. The LED at the top of the remote lights when any button is
pressed when the battery power is adequate.
Two presentation-specific features are also provided. Use the Blank button
to display a blank screen instead of the current slide (you can choose which
color is displayed, see page 34); use the Effect button to invoke a user-defin-
able action, such as freeze or zoom (see page 35 to learn to program this but-
ton).
•
•
Make sure you’re pointing the remote at the projector, not the com-
puter, and are within the remote range of 30 feet (9.14m).
If you are trying to advance PowerPoint slides, make sure the USB
cable is connected. If using a USB cable, make sure the correct drivers
are installed.

the screen, you can optimize the image using the onscreen menus. For gen-
eral information on using the menus, see page 29.
Several features are provided to make giving presentation easier. The fol-
lowing is an overview, details are found in the menu section on page 29.
•
The remote’s Effect button allows you to assign various features to the

settings later. See page 31.
•
•
•
•
The Blank button on the remote allows you to display a blank screen

In dirty or dusty environments, the dust filters can become clogged, causing
high temperatures inside the lamp module. These high temperatures can
impact lamp performance and operating life. Routine maintenance to
remove dust and dirt from the filters lowers the lamp operating tempera-
ture and prolongs lamp life. To maximize lamp life you will need to clean
the filters every 100 hours. Dust filter maintenance may need to occur more
often than 100 hours depending on your installation/use environment.
There are two filters, one mesh filter attached to the dust filter door and one
metal grid filter adjacent to the lamp door.

ranty if the Product has been damaged due to abuse, misuse, neglect, smoke
exposure (cigarette or otherwise), accident, unusual physical or electrical

erly use the Product in the application for which said Product was intended.
