Your projector is designed and tested to meet the latest standards for safety of information technology equipment. However, to ensure safe use of this product, it is important that you follow the instructions mentioned in this manual and marked on the product.

Safety Instructions

  1. Please read this manual before you operate your projector. Save it for future reference.
  2. Do not look straight at the projector lens during operation. The intense light beam may damage your eyes.
  3. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
  4. Always open the lens shutter or remove the lens cap when the projector lamp is on.
  5. In some countries, the line voltage is NOT stable. This projector is designed to operate safely within a mains voltage between 100 to 240 volts AC, but could fail if power cuts or surges of ± 10 volts occur. In areas where the mains voltage may fluctuate or cut out, it is recommended that you connect your projector through a power stabilizer, surge protector or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
  6. Do not block the projection lens with any objects when the projector is under operation as this could cause the objects to become heated and deformed or even cause a fire. To temporarily turn off the lamp, press BLANK on the projector or remote control.
  7. The lamp becomes extremely hot during operation. Allow the projector to cool for approximately 45 minutes prior to removing the lamp assembly for replacement.
  8. Do not operate lamps beyond the rated lamp life. Excessive operation of lamps beyond the rated life could cause them to break on rare occasions.
  9. Never replace the lamp assembly or any electronic components unless the projector is unplugged.
  10. Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall, sustaining serious damage.
  11. Do not attempt to disassemble this projector. There are dangerous high voltages inside which may cause death if you should come into contact with live parts. The only user serviceable part is the lamp which has its own removable cover.

Under no circumstances should you ever undo or remove any other covers. Refer servicing only to suitably qualified professional service personnel.

  1. Do not place this projector in any of the following environments.

  2. Space that is poorly ventilated or confined. Allow at least 50~cm clearance from walls and free flow of air around the projector.

  3. Locations where temperatures may become excessively high, such as the inside of a car with all windows rolled up.
  4. Locations where excessive humidity, dust, or cigarette smoke may contaminate optical components, shortening the projector's life span and darkening the picture.
  5. Locations near fire alarms
  6. Locations with an ambient temperature above 40^ / 104^
  7. Locations where the altitudes are higher than 3000m (10000 feet).

  8. Do not block the ventilation holes. If the ventilation holes are seriously obstructed, overheating inside the projector may result in a fire.

  9. Do not place this projector on a blanket, bedding or any other soft surface.

  10. Do not cover this projector with a cloth or any other item.
  11. Do not place inflammables near the projector.

  12. Always place the projector on a level, horizontal surface during operation.

  13. Do not use if tilted at an angle of more than 10 degrees left to right, nor at angle of more than 15 degrees front to back. Using the projector when it is not fully horizontal may cause a malfunction of, or damage to, the lamp.

  14. Do not stand the projector on end vertically. Doing so may cause the projector to fall over, causing injury or resulting in damage to the projector.

  15. Do not step on the projector or place any objects upon it. Besides probable physical damage to the projector, doing so may result in accidents and possible injury.
  16. Do not place liquids near or on the projector. Liquids spilled into the projector may cause it to fail. If the projector does become wet, disconnect it from the power supply's wall socket and call your local service center to have the projector serviced.
  17. This product is capable of displaying inverted pictures for ceiling mount installation.

Use only qualified ceiling mount kit for mounting the projector and ensure it is securely installed.

  1. When the projector is under operation, you may sense some heated air and odor from its ventilation grill. It is a normal phenomenon and not a product defect.
  2. Do not use the Security bar for transporting or installation. It should be used with a commercially available theft prevention cable.

Safety instructions for ceiling mounting of the projector

We want you to have a pleasant experience using your projector, so we need to bring this safety matter to your attention to prevent damage to person and property.

If you intend to mount your projector on the ceiling, we strongly recommend that you use a proper fitting projector ceiling mount kit and that you ensure it is securely and safely installed.

If you use an inappropriate projector ceiling mount kit, there is a safety risk that the projector may fall from the ceiling due to an improper attachment through the use of the wrong gauge or length screws.

You can purchase a projector ceiling mount kit from the place you purchased your projector. We recommend that you also purchase a separate security cable and attach it securely to both the anti-theft lock slot on the projector and the base of the ceiling mount bracket. This will perform the secondary role of restraining the projector should its attachment to the mounting bracket become loose.

  • Adjustable color management control for data/video display
  • Ability to display 1.07 billion colors
    Multi-language On-Screen Display (OSD) menus
  • Switchable normal and economic modes to reduce the power consumption
  • Component HDTV compatibility (YPbPr)
  • HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) function allows synchronized power ON/OFF operation between the projector and a CEC-compatible DVD player device connected to the HDMI input of the projector

The apparent brightness of the projected image will vary depending on the ambient lighting conditions, selected input signal contrast/brightness settings, and is directly proportional to projection distance.
The lamp brightness will decline over time and may vary within the lamp manufacturers specifications. This is normal and expected behavior.

Connecting a computer or monitor

Connecting a computer

  1. Take the supplied VGA cable and connect one end to the D-Sub output socket of the computer.
  2. Connect the other end of the VGA cable to the COMPUTER IN 1 or Computer IN 2 signal input socket on the projector.
  3. If you wish to use the remote mouse control function, take a USB cable and connect the larger end to the USB port of the computer, and smaller end to the MINI USB socket on the projector. See "Using the remote mouse control" on page 10 for details.

Many notebooks do not turn on their external video ports when connected to a projector. Usually a key combo like FN + F3 or CRT/LCD key turns the external display on/off. Locate a function key labeled CRT/LCD or a function key with a monitor symbol on the notebook. Press FN and the labeled function key simultaneously. Refer to your notebook's documentation to find your notebook's key combination.

Connecting a monitor

If you want to view your presentation close-up on a monitor as well as on the screen, you can connect the MONITOR OUT signal output socket on the projector to an external monitor with a VGA cable following the instructions below:

  1. Connect the projector to a computer as described in "Connecting a computer" on page 16.
  2. Take a suitable VGA cable (only one supplied) and connect one end of the cable to the D-Sub input socket of the video monitor.

Or if your monitor is equipped with a DVI input socket, take a VGA to DVI-A cable and connect the DVI end of the cable to the DVI input socket of the video monitor.

  1. Connect the other end of the cable to the MONITOR OUT socket on the projector.

The MONITOR OUT output only works when COMPUTER IN 1 connection is made to the projector.
To use this connection method when the projector is in standby mode, turn on the Active VGA Out function under the SOURCE > Standby Settings menu.

Connecting Video source devices

You can connect your projector to various Video source devices that provide any one of the following output sockets:

HDMI
- Component Video
S-Video
Video (composite)

You need only connect the projector to a Video source device using just one of the above connecting methods, however each provides a different level of video quality. The method you choose will most likely depend upon the availability of matching terminals on both the projector and the Video source device as described below:

Best video quality

The best available video connection method is HDMI. If your source device is equipped with an HDMI socket, you can enjoy uncompressed digital video quality.

See "Connecting an HDMI device" on page 18 for how to connect the projector to an HDMI source device and other details.

If no HDMI source is available, the next best video signal is Component video (not to be confused with composite video). Digital TV tuner and DVD players output Component video natively, so if available on your devices, this should be your connection method of choice in preference to (composite) video.

See "Connecting a Component Video source device" on page 18 for how to connect the projector to a component video device.

Better video quality

The S-Video method provides a better quality analog video than standard composite Video. If you have both composite Video and S-Video output terminals on your Video source device, you should elect to use the S-Video option.

See "Connecting an S-Video source device" on page 18 for how to connect the projector to an S-Video device.

Least video quality

Composite Video is an analog video and will result in a perfectly acceptable, but less than optimal result from your projector, being the least video quality of the available methods described here.

See "Connecting a composite Video source device" on page 19 for how to connect the projector to a composite Video device.

Connecting audio

The projector has built-in mono speaker(s) which is designed to provide basic audio functionality accompanying data presentations for business purposes only. It is not designed for, nor intended for stereo audio reproduction use as might be expected in home theater or home cinema applications. Any stereo audio input (if provided), is mixed into a common mono audio output through the projector speaker.

If you wish, you can make use of the projector (mixed mono) speaker in your presentations, and also connect separate amplified speakers to the Audio Out socket of the projector. The audio output is a mixed mono signal and controlled by the projector Volume and Mute settings.

If you have a separate sound system, you will most likely want to connect the audio output of your Video source device to that sound system, instead of to the mono audio projector.

Connecting an HDMI device

You should use an HDMI cable when making connection between the projector and HDMI devices.

  1. Take an HDMI cable and connect one end to the HDMI output port of the video device.
  2. Connect the other end of the cable to the HDMI input port on the projector.
