Precautions

On safety

•Check that the operating voltage of your unit is

identical with the voltage of your local power

supply.

•Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet,

unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified

personnel before operating it further.

•Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be

used for several days.

•To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never

pull the cord itself.

•The wall outlet should be near the unit and easily

accessible.

•The unit is not disconnected to the AC power source

(mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet,

even if the unit itself has been turned off.

•Do not look into the lens while the lamp is on.

•Do not aim the laser at people or not look into the

laser transmitter.

•Do not place your hand or objects near the

ventilation holes — the air coming out is hot.

•Be careful not to catch your fingers by the adjuster

when you lift up the projector. Do not push hard on

the top of the projector with the adjuster out.

On illumination

•To obtain the best picture, the front of the screen

should not be exposed to direct lighting or sunlight.

•Ceiling-mounted spot lighting is recommended. Use

a cover over fluorescent lamps to avoid lowering the

contrast ratio.

•Cover any windows that face the screen with opaque

draperies.

•It is desirable to install the projector in a room where

floor and walls are not of light-reflecting material. If

the floor and walls are of reflecting material, it is

recommended that the carpet and wall paper be

changed to a dark color.

On preventing internal heat build-up

After you turn off the power with the I /

key on the

Remote Commander or on the control panel, do not

disconnect the unit from the wall outlet while the

cooling fan is still running.

Caution

The projector is equipped with ventilation holes

(intake) on the right side and ventilation holes

(exhaust) on front and rear. Do not block or place

anything near these holes, or internal heat build-up

may occur, causing picture degradation or damage to

the projector.

On cleaning

•To keep the cabinet looking new, periodically clean

it with a soft cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed

with a cloth lightly dampened with a mild detergent

solution. Never use strong solvents, such as thinner,

benzene, or abrasive cleansers, since these will

damage the cabinet.

•Avoid touching the lens. To remove dust on the lens,

use a soft dry cloth. Do not use a damp cloth,

detergent solution, or thinner.

•Clean the filter at regular intervals.

On repacking

•Save the original shipping carton and packing

material; they will come in handy if you ever have to

ship your unit. For maximum protection, repack your

unit as it was originally packed at the factory.

Precautions

7 (GB)

Overview

Features

High portability

•Light weight/small size

This projector has come to miniaturized to approx. 4

kg (8 lb 13 oz) of mass by adopting magnesium die-

casting body. And a carrying handle is equipped with

the projector. You can easily carry it with your

computer.

Reduced noise

Because the projector is using a new cooling

mechanism, noise has been reduced.

Stability

This projector utilizes a new placing angle adjuster to

improve stability.

High brightness, high picture quality

•High brightness

Adopting the new developed optical system and the

new developed 120 W UHP lamp allow high

brightness (light output 1000 ANSI lumen) and

excellent uniformity on the picture.

•High resolution

Three 0.9-inch, about 790,000 pixel XGA panels

with micro-lens arrays provide a resolution of 1024 ×

768 dots for RGB input and 750 horizontal TV lines

for video input.

Simple setup, easy presentation

•Simple setup with external equipment

This projector is preset for 37 kinds of input signals.

You can project images from an external signal

source just by connecting the equipment with the

supplied cable and pushing the APA key.

•Remote Commander with mouse control and

laser pointer functions

You can operate a computer with the Remote

Commander since the unit has a build-in mouse

receiver. For your presentation, you can use the laser

pointer built in the Remote Commander as well.

Accepts various input signals

•Scan converter loaded

This projector has a build-in scan converter which

converts the input signal within 1024 × 768 dots.

•Compatible input signals

This projector accepts video signals of the

composite, S video, and component as well as the

15k RGB, VGA

, SVGA

, XGA

, and SXGA

signals, which all can be displayed.

•Compatible with five color systems

NTSC, PAL, SECAM, NTSC

4.43

, or PAL-M color

system can be selected automatically or manually.

polarity.

2 Replace the lid.

Notes on batteries

•Make sure that the battery orientation is correct when

inserting batteries.

•Do not mix an old battery with a new one, or

different types of batteries.

•If you will not use the Remote Commander for a

long time, remove the batteries to avoid damage

from battery leakage. If batteries have leaked,

remove them, wipe the battery compartment dry and

replace the batteries with new ones.

Notes on Remote Commander operation

•Make sure that there is nothing to obstruct the

infrared beam between the Remote Commander and

the remote control detector on the projector.

•The operation range is limited. The shorter the

distance between the Remote Commander and the

projector is, the wider the angle within which the

commander can control the projector.
