navigation
buttons
Caution: When replacing the batteries, be aware that using batteries other
than the type provided with the projector may risk severe damage to the
remote. When disposing of the batteries, be sure to do so in an environmen-
tally proper manner.
To operate, point the remote at the front of the projector (not at the com-
puter). The range of optimum operation is about 15 feet (4.5m).
Press the remote’s Power button to turn the projector on and off (see
page 12 for shutdown info).
Press the remote’s Menu button to open the projector’s menu system. Use
the arrow buttons to navigate, and the Select button to select features and

The remote also has a Source button to switch between sources.
If you connect the USB portion of the M1-DA computer cable (page 5) you
can use the up and down arrow navigation buttons to advance slides in a
PowerPoint presentation.
Troubleshooting the remote
•
Make sure the batteries are installed in the proper orientation and are
not dead.
•
Make sure you’re pointing the remote at the projector or the screen, not
the computer, and are within the remote range of 15 feet (4.5m). For
best results, point the remote at the projector.

Cleaning the lamp filter screens
In dirty or dusty environments, the dust filter screens on the lamp module
screen
and lamp door and in the lamp compartment 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 screens lowers the lamp operating tempera-
ture and prolongs lamp life. To maximize lamp life you will need to clean
the screens every 250 hours. Lamp screen maintenance may need to occur
more often than 250 hours depending on your installation/use environ-
ment.
screen
1 Wait 60 minutes to allow the projector to cool thoroughly. Remove the
lamp module. Refer to page 33 for instructions.
2 Examine the dust filter screens on each side of the lamp module. If nec-
essary, use compressed or canned air to clean the screens. Then use a
cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol to lightly wipe each screen.
After you've wiped each screen, blow away any remaining contami-
nants.
