Preface
Projector Installation Notice
¾
Place the projector in a horizontal position
The tilt angle of the projector should not exceed 15 degrees, nor should the projector be installed in
any way other than the desktop and ceiling mount, otherwise lamp life could decrease dramatically.
¾
Allow at least 50 cm clearance around the exhaust vent.
¾
Ensure that the intake vents do not recycle hot air from the exhaust vent.
¾
When operating the projector in an enclosed space, ensure that the surrounding air temperature
within the enclosure does not exceed 5 – 35°C while the projector is running, and the air intake and
exhaust vents are unobstructed.
¾
All enclosures should pass a certified thermal evaluation to ensure that the projector does not
recycle exhaust air, as this may cause the device to shut down even if the enclosure temperature is
within the acceptable 5 – 35°C range.
Power Safety
¾
Only use the supplied power cord.
¾
Do not place anything on the power cord. Place the power cord where it will not be in the way of
foot traffic.
¾
Remove the batteries from the remote control when storing or not in use for a prolonged period.

depth of 12 mm (0.47 inch).
The construction of the ceiling mount must be of a suitable shape and strength. The ceiling mount
load capacity must exceed the weight of the installed equipment, and as an additional precaution
be capable of withstanding three times the weight of the equipment (not less than 5.15 kg) over a
period of 60 seconds.

Remote Control Parts
Important:
1. Avoid using the projector with bright fluorescent lighting turned on. Certain high-frequency fluorescent lights can disrupt remote control operation.
2. Be sure nothing obstructs the path between the remote control and the projector. If the path between the remote control and the projector is obstructed, you can bounce the signal off certain
reflective surfaces such as projector screens.
3. The buttons and keys on the projector have the same functions as the corresponding buttons on
the remote control. This user’s manual describes the functions based on the remote control.

Remote Control Operating Range
The projector receives infrared signals from the remote control. It is not necessary to point the remote
directly at the projector. Provided you are not holding the remote perpendicular to the sides or the
rear of the projector, the remote will function well within a radius of about 7 meters (23 feet) and 15
degrees above or below the projector level. If the projector does not respond to the remote control,
move a little closer.
Projector and Remote Control Buttons
The projector can be operated using the remote control or the buttons on the top of the projector. All
operations can be carried out with the remote control; however, the buttons on the projector are limited in use.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Common problems and solutions
These guidelines provide tips to deal with problems you may encounter while using the projector. If
the problem remains unsolved, contact your dealer for assistance.
Often after time spent troubleshooting, the problem is traced to something as simple as a loose connection. Check the following before proceeding to the problem-specific solutions.
•
Use some other electrical device to confirm that the electrical outlet is working.
•
Ensure the projector is turned on.
•
Ensure all connections are securely attached.
•
Ensure the attached device is turned on.
•
Ensure a connected PC is not in suspended mode.
•
Ensure a connected notebook computer is configured for an external display.
(This is usually done by pressing a Fn-key combination on the notebook).
Tips for Troubleshooting
In each problem-specific section, try the steps in the order suggested. This may help you to solve the
problem more quickly.
Try to pin point the problem and thus avoid replacing non-defective parts.
For example, if you replace batteries and the problem remains, put the original batteries back and go
to the next step.
Keep a record of the steps you take when troubleshooting: The information may be useful when calling for technical support or for passing on to service personnel.

HDMI Q & A
Q. What is the difference between a “Standard” HDMI cable and a “High-Speed” HDMI
cable?
Recently, HDMI Licensing, LLC announced that cables would be tested as Standard or HighSpeed cables.
․Standard (or “category 1”) HDMI cables have been tested to perform at speeds of 75Mhz or
up to 2.25Gbps, which is the equivalent of a 720p/1080i signal.
․ High Speed (or “category 2”) HDMI cables have been tested to perform at speeds of
340Mhz or up to 10.2Gbps, which is the highest bandwidth currently available over an
HDMI cable and can successfully handle 1080p signals including those at increased color
depths and/or increased refresh rates from the Source. High-Speed cables are also able to
accommodate higher resolution displays, such as WQXGA cinema monitors (resolution of
2560 x 1600).
Q. How do I run HDMI cables longer than 10 meters?
There are many HDMI Adopters working on HDMI solutions that extend a cable’s effective
distance from the typical 10 meter range to much longer lengths. These companies
manufacture a variety of solutions that include active cables (active electronics built into
cables that boost and extend the cable’s signal), repeaters, amplifiers as well as CAT5/6 and
fiber solutions.
Q. How can I tell if a cable is an HDMI certified cable?
All HDMI products are required to be certified by the manufacturer as part of the HDMI
Compliance Test Specification. However, there may be instances where cables bearing the
HDMI logo are available but have not been properly tested. HDMI Licensing, LLC actively
investigates these instances to ensure that the HDMI trademark is properly used in the
market. We recommend that consumers buy their cables from a reputable source and a
company that is trusted.
