For disposal or recycling information, please contact your local authorities or for USA, the Electronic Industries Alliance: http://www.eiae.org. or call 1-800-2525722(For USA) or 1-800-964-2650(For Canada). FCC INFORMATION (U.S.A.
Dear Customer, This apparatus is in conformance with the valid European directives and standards regarding electromagnetic compatibility and electrical safety.
9. Do not look straight into the projector lens during operation. It may harm your sight. RG2 IEC 62471-5:2015 10. Do not operate the projector lamp beyond the rated lamp life. Excessive operation of lamps beyond the rated life could cause a lamp to break on rare occasions. 11. The lamp becomes extremely hot during operation. Allow the projector to cool for approximately 45 minutes prior to removing the lamp assembly for replacement. 12.
Moisture condensation Never operate the projector immediately after moving it from a cold location to a hot location. When the projector is exposed to such a change in temperature, moisture may condense on the crucial internal parts. To prevent the projector from possible damage, do not use the projector for at least 2 hours when there is a sudden change in temperature. Avoid volatile liquids Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide or certain types of cleaner, near the projector.

Installing/replacing the remote control battery 1. Pull out the battery holder, as illustrated. Push and hold the locking arm whilst pulling out the battery holder. 2. Insert the new battery in the holder. Note the positive polarity should face outward. 3. Push the holder into the remote control. • Avoid leaving the remote control and battery in an excessive heat or humid environment like the kitchen, bathroom, sauna, sunroom or in a closed car.
Installation Choosing a location Before choosing an installation location for your projector, take the following factors into consideration: • Size and position of your screen • Electrical outlet location • Location and distance between the projector and the rest of your equipment You can install your projector in the following ways. 1. Front Table: 3. Front Ceiling: Select this location with the projector placed near the floor in front of the screen.
Obtaining a preferred projected image size The projected image size is determined by the distance from the projector lens to the screen, the zoom setting, and the video format. Projection dimensions Use the illustration and the table below to help you determine the projection distance.
Shifting the projection lens vertically The vertical lens shift control provides flexibility for installing your projector. It allows the projector to be positioned slightly above or below the top level of the projected images. The lens shift (offset) is expressed as a percentage of the projected image height. It is measured as an offset from the projected image's vertical center.
Connection When connecting a signal source to the projector, be sure to: 1. Turn all equipment off before making any connections. 2. Use the correct signal cables for each source. 3. Make sure the cables are firmly inserted. • In the connection illustrations shown below, some cables may not be included with the projector (see "Shipping contents"). They are commercially available from electronics stores. The illustrations below are for reference only.
Operation Starting up the projector 1. Plug the power cable into the projector and a power outlet. Turn on the power outlet switch (where fitted). The POWER indicator light on the projector lights orange after power has been applied. Please use the supplied power cable to avoid possible dangers such as electric shock and fire. 2. Press to start the projector. The POWER indicator light flashes green and stays green when the projector is on.
Selecting an input source The projector can be connected to multiple equipment at the same time. However, it only displays one full screen at a time. When starting up, the projector automatically searches for the available signals. If you want the projector to always automatically search for the signals: • Go to the SOURCE menu, and then enable Quick Auto Search. (see "Quick Auto Search" on page 25) To select the video source: 1. Press SOURCE to display the source selection bar. 2.
Adjusting the projected image Adjusting the projection angle The projector is equipped with 2 adjuster feet. These adjusters change the image height and projection angle. Screw the feet in or out as appropriate to aim and level the projection angle. If the screen and the projector are not perpendicular to each other, the projected image becomes vertical trapezoidal. To correct this, see "Auto-adjusting the image" for details.
Correcting keystone Keystoning refers to the situation where the projected image is noticeably wider at either the top or bottom. It occurs when the projector is not perpendicular to the screen. Besides adjusting the height of the projector, you may correct this manually by following the instructions below: 1. Do one of the following steps to display the Keystone window: • Press / or / on the projector. • Press / or / on the remote control.

Maintenance Care of the projector Cleaning the lens Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface. Before cleaning any part of the projector, turn it off using the proper shutdown procedure (see "Shutting down the projector"), unplug the power cable, and let it cool down completely. • Use a canister of compressed air to remove dust. • If there is dirt or smears, use lens-cleaning paper or moisten a soft cloth with lens cleaner and gently wipe the lens surface.
Lamp information Getting to know the lamp hour When the projector is in operation, the duration (in hours) of lamp usage is automatically calculated by the built-in timer. Total (equivalent) lamp hour = (hours used in Normal mode) + 4/5 x (hours used in Economic mode) To obtain the lamp hour information: 1. Press MENU. 2. Use the arrow keys ( / / / ) to go to INFORMATION or SYSTEM SETUP: Advanced > Lamp Settings > Lamp Time. 3. The Lamp Time information displays. 4. Press MENU to exit.
Timing of replacing the lamp When the Lamp indicator lights up red or a message appears suggesting it is time to replace the lamp, please install a new lamp or consult your dealer. An old lamp may cause a malfunction in the projector and in some instances the lamp may explode. The LAMP indicator light and TEMP warning light will light up if the lamp becomes too hot. Turn the power off and let the projector cool for 45 minutes.
Replacing the lamp • To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always turn the projector off and disconnect the power cable before changing the lamp. • To reduce the risk of severe burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 45 minutes before replacing the lamp. • To reduce the risk of injuries to fingers and damage to internal components, use caution when removing lamp glass that has shattered into sharp pieces.
8. Use the handle to slowly pull the lamp out of the projector. • Pulling it too quickly may cause the lamp to break and scatter broken glass in the projector. • Do not place the lamp in locations where water might splash on it, children can reach it, or near flammable materials. • Do not insert your hands into the projector after the lamp is removed. If you touch the optical components inside, it could cause color unevenness and distortion of the projected images. 9.
16. After the startup logo displays, reset the lamp timer via the OSD menu. Do not reset if the lamp is not new or replaced as this could cause damage. A "Reset Successfully" message displays to notify that the lamp time has been reset to "0".
Indicators There are 3 indicators which show the status of the projector. Check the following information about the indicator lights. If there is anything wrong, turn the projector off and contact your dealer.
