■ Cabinet care.
The cabinet is made of plastic and discoloration
or paint peeling can occur if wiped with a solvent
such as benzine, thinner, etc.
•
Before using chemical wipes, be sure to read
and observe the instructions.
•
•
Do not spray volatile substances such as
insect repellent on the cabinet. Also, do not
allow long-term close contact with rubber or
vinyl products because this could result in
discoloration, peeling paint, etc.
■ Sound volume.
Set the volume at a suitable level to avoid
bothering other people. It is also better to keep
the volume level low and close the windows at
night to protect the neighborhood environment.
Use a soft cloth to clean the cabinet and
operation panel. When excessively soiled,
dilute a neutral detergent in water, wet and
wring out the cloth and afterward wipe with a
dry cloth. Do not apply undiluted detergent
directly to the projector.
•
■ Lens care
Use commercially available lens
tissue to clean the lens (used to clean
cameras, eyeglasses, etc.). Be careful
not to scratch the lens with hard
objects.
■ Extended usage.
When using this projector for an extended
period, stop periodically to rest the eyes to
prevent eye fatigue.

When a command or data is not sent within 500ms after the command code ‘2xH’ , ‘3xH’ or ‘4xH’ is sent by
the computer, the error command ‘70H’ +‘70H’ will be returned as soon as the 500ms elapses. After this, if
there is no response within 1 sec., a frame error will occur.
