Operating the remote control

• The remote control works with both the projector's front and rear remote sensors.
• The range of the remote sensor on the front and back is 3 meters with a 60-degree range (30 degrees to the left and right of the remote sensor).
• Since the remote control uses infrared light to send signals to the projector (Class 1 LED), be sure to use the remote control in an area free from obstacles that could block the remote control's output signal to the projector.

ATTENTION Precautions to observe when using the remote control

• Do not drop or otherwise expose the remote control to physical impact.
• Do not get the remote control wet or place it on wet objects. Doing so may result in malfunction.
• Remove the batteries from the remote control and store them in a safe place if you won't be using the remote control for an extended period.
• Replace the batteries whenever the remote control starts to malfunction.
• When strong light, such as direct sunlight or light from an extremely close range (such as from an inverter fluorescent lamp), hits the projector's remote sensor, the remote control may cease to function. Adjust the direction of the projector to keep light from directly hitting the projector's remote sensor.

Setting up the projector

CAUTION

• Install the projector in a suitable environment according to instructions of the accompanying manual "PJ650 Quick START GUIDE" and this manual.
• If you press the elevator buttons without holding the projector, the projector might crash down, overturn, smash your fingers and possibly result in malfunction. To prevent damaging the projector and injuring yourself, ALWAYS HOLD THE PROJECTOR whenever using the elevator buttons to adjust the elevator feet.

Adjusting the Projector's Elevator Feet

You can use the elevator feet to make adjustments if the surface on which you need to set the projector is uneven or if you otherwise need to adjust the angle of projection. The adjustment range of the elevator feet is 0 to 9 degrees.

1 Press and hold in the elevator buttons.

2 Raise or lower the projector to the desired height and then release the elevator buttons. When you release the elevator buttons, the elevator feet will lock into position.

3 As necessary, you can also finely adjust the height of the projector by twisting the elevator feet by hand.

Maintenance

Lamp

To order a new lamp unit (Lamp Part # RLU-150-001), contact ViewSonic or your dealer. For the lamp part number, see the Optional Parts in the Specifications in this guide. For contact information, see the Customer Support table in this guide. Before replacing the lamp, turn the Power Switch OFF, remove the power cord from the power outlet, then wait at least 45 minutes until the lamp has cooled.

CAUTION: The lamp may explode if handled at high temperatures.

HIGH VOLTAGE

HIGH TEMPERATURE

HIGH PRESSURE

WARNING

The projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp made of glass. The lamp can break with a loud bang, or burn out, if jolted or scratched, handled while hot, or worn over time. Note that each lamp has a different lifetime, and some may burst or burn out soon after you start using them. In addition, when the bulb bursts, it is possible for shards of glass to fly into the lamp housing, and for gas containing mercury to escape from the projector's vent holes

• If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), unplug the power cord from the outlet, and make sure to request a replacement lamp from your local dealer. Note that shards of glass could damage the projector's internals, or cause injury during handling, so please do not try to clean the projector or replace the lamp yourself.
• If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), ventilate the room well, and make sure not to breathe the gas that comes out of the projector vents, or get it in your eyes or mouth.
• Do not open the lamp cover while the projector is suspended from above. This is dangerous, since if the lamp's bulb has broken, the shards will fall out when the cover is opened. In addition, working in high places is dangerous, so ask your local dealer to have the lamp replaced even if the bulb is not broken.
• If the indicators or a message prompts you to replace the lamp (see the section “Related Messages” and “Regarding the indicator Lamps”), replace the lamp as soon as possible. Using the lamp for long periods of time, or past the replacement date, could cause it to burst. Do not use old (used) lamps; this is a cause of breakage.
• If the lamp breaks soon after the first time it is used, it is possible that there are electrical problems elsewhere besides the lamp. If this happens, contact your local dealer or a service representative.
• Use the lamp of the specified type only. (sold separately)
• Handle with care: jolting or scratching could cause the lamp bulb to burst during use.
• Before replacing the lamp, make sure the power switch is off and the power cable is not plugged in, then wait at least 45 minutes for the lamp to cool sufficiently. Handling the lamp while hot can cause burns, as well as damaging the lamp.
• Do not use the projector with the lamp cover removed. At the lamp replacing, make sure that the screws are screwed in firmly. Loose screws could result in damage or injury.
• Obey local ordinances when disposing of used lamps. In most cases, it is possible to dispose of used bulbs in the same manner as used glass bottles, but in some cases, bulbs are sorted separately.

Lamp Life

Projector lamps have a finite life. The projected images will become darker and hues will become weaker after a lamp has been used for a long period of time.

The LAMP indicator also becomes red when the lamp unit reaches a high temperature. Before replacing the lamp, switch the POWER OFF, wait approximately 20 minutes, then switch the POWER ON again. If the LAMP indicator still displays red, replace the lamp.

Replacing the Lamp

All projector lamps will wear out eventually. If used for long periods of time, the image could become darkened, and the color contrast could be impacted as well. We recommend that you replace your lamps early. If the LAMP indicator turns red, or a message prompts you to replace the lamp when you power up the projector, the lamp needs to be replaced.

1 Turn off the projector, and unplug the power cord. Allow the lamp bulb to cool for at least 45 minutes, and prepare a new lamp

2 After making sure that the projector has cooled adequately, slowly flip over the projector, so that the bottom is facing up

3 Unscrew the 2 screws, and remove the lamp cover

4 Unscrew the 1 screw, and slowly pull out the lamp by the handle

- Be careful not to touch the inside of the lamp case.

7 Slowly turn the projector so that the top is facing up

8 Turn on the projector power, and using the menu, reset the lamp timer

- To reset the lamp timer, from the OPTION menu, select LAMP TIME.

ATTENTION:

• Make sure that the screws are screwed in firmly. Loose screws could result in damage or injury.
• Do not use with lamp cover removed.
• Do not reset the lamp timer without replacing the lamp.

NOTE:

The LAMP indicator is also red when the lamp unit reaches high temperature.

Before replacing the lamp, switch power OFF, wait approximately 20 minutes, and switch power ON again. If the LAMP indicator is still red, replace the lamp.

Caring for the Air Filter

The air filter should be cleaned about every 100 hours. Clean the filter if the LAMP indicator and TEMP indicator blink red simultaneously, or if a message prompts you to clean the air filter when you turn on the unit, the filter needs to be cleaned. (Refer to “On-Screen Messages” in the Trouble-shooting section.)

1 Turn off the projector, then unplug the power cord
2 To clean a reusable filter, carefully vacuum both sides of the filter area.

3 If the filter is damaged and needs to be replaced, contact your dealer or ViewSonic Corp. Replace the old filter then put the grill back in place.
4 To reset the Filter Timer, turn on the projector power, go to the Option menu then select filter timer. Reset the filter timer.

CAUTION:

• Switch power OFF and remove the power cord from the power outlet before beginning maintenance work.
• Replace the air filter if contamination cannot be removed or if it is damaged.
• Do not use the equipment with the air filter removed.
• When the air filter becomes clogged with dust etc., the power supply may switch OFF automatically to prevent the temperature from rising inside the projector.
• Make sure the lens is cool before cleaning.
• Do not use detergents or solvents such as benzene or thinners.
• Do not use chemical sprays.
• Use a soft cloth or lens paper only.

Caring for the Inside of the Projector

In order to ensure the safe use of your projector, please have it cleaned and inspected by an authorized Service Provider approximately once every 2 years. Never try to care for the inside of the unit yourself. Doing so is dangerous.

Caring for the Lens

Lightly wipe the lens with a commercially available lens-cleaning wipe. Do not touch the lens directly with your hand.

Caring for the Cabinet and Remote Control Transmitter

Wipe lightly with gauze or a soft cloth. If soiling is severe, dip a soft cloth in water or a neutral cleanser diluted in water, and wipe lightly after wringing well. Then, wipe lightly with a soft, dry cloth.

CAUTION:

• Make sure to turn off the power and unplug the power cord before caring for the unit. Please care-fully read all the PJ650 Quick START GUIDE in this manual, in order to care for your projector correctly.
• Do not use cleaners or chemicals other than those listed above, including benzene and paint thinner.
• Do not use aerosols or sprays.
• Do not polish or wipe with coarse material.
• Gently wipe with a soft cloth. If dirt and stains etc. are not easily removed, use a soft cloth dampened with water, or water and a neutral detergent, and wipe dry with a soft, dry cloth.
