WORDING FOR CLASS I EQUIPMENT INSTRUCTION BOOKS AND LABELS The mains lead on this equipment is supplied with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse, the value of which is indicated on the pin face of the plug. Shoud the fuse need to be replaced, an ASTA or BSI approved BS 1362 fuse must be used of the same rating. If the fuse cover is detachable never use the plug with the cover omitted. If a replacement fuse cover is required, ensure it is of the same colour as that visible on the pin face of the plug. Fuse covers are available from your dealer. DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in your home or the cable is too short to reach a power point, then obtain an appropriate safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer. Shoud it be necessary to change the mains plugs, this must be carried out by a competent person, preferable a qualified electrician. If there is no alternative to cutting off the mains plug, ensure that you dispose of it immediately, having first removed the fuse, to avoid a possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply.

WARNING: THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE EARTHED

IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Green and Yellow = Earth, Blue = Neutral, Brown = Live. Green & Yellow to Earth Blue to Neutral Brown to Live Fuse Cord Clamp As these colours may not correspond with the coloured makings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured Green and Yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol or coloured Green or Green and Yellow. The wire coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured BLUE or BLACK. The wire coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured BROWN or RED.

1. Connect the projector and computer with a suitable commercially available cable. Disconnect the mouse

cable from the projector.

2. Press the INPUT button of the projector or the RGB 1/2 button of the remote control and select the input

where the computer is to be connected.

3. Start the mouse function.

4. Refer to page 10 concerning the remote control of mouse operations.

5. Varying the force with which the DISK PAD button is pressed varies the speed of mouse operation.

• Before making connections, read the instruction manual of the equipment to be connected.

• Use the optional USB cable to connect.

• Effective with USB only when the mouse is used.

• Do not use with any device other than a personal computer.

• When using with Windows 95, it is necessary to set so that USB can be used with version OSR 2.1 or higher. Depending on the kind or the virsion of the host controller, operation may not be possible in some cases.

• In the case of notebook type computers with a built-in pointing device such as a track ball, in some cases the built-in pointing device will have priority even if a mouse is connected and the mouse may not be selected. In such case, disable the built-in pointing device and change the BIOS setting (system setup) so that an external mouse can be selected. After changing the BIOS setting, perform the operations described in 1 - 3 above. Refer to the computer hardware manual concerning the BIOS setting. Also, some computers may not have a utility program to operate a mouse. Refer to the computer hardware manual.26 Connection to the control signal terminal Use the mouse cable provided or a PS/2 mouse cable (for IBM and compatibles). Cables for ADB mouse (Apple), bus mouse (NEC) and serial mouse are available as options.

• Before making connections, read the instruction manual of the equipment to be connected.

• Turn off the projector and computer power supplies before connecting. Connecting the mouse cable with the computer power on can result in a malfunction. Use the mouse cable provided or an optional mouse cable to make the connection.

• In the case of notebook type computers with a built-in pointing device such as a track ball, in some cases the built-in pointing device will have priority even if a mouse is connected and the mouse may not be selected. In such case, disable the built-in pointing device and change the BIOS setting (system setup) so that an external mouse can be selected. After changing the BIOS setting, perform the operations described in (1) - (3) above. Refer to the computer hardware manual concerning the BIOS setting. Also, some computers may not have a utility program to operate a mouse. Refer to the computer hardware manual. Caution

(1)Turn off the main power switches of the projector and computer and connect the two units with the cable provided or an optional suitable commercially available cable. Disconnect the USB cable from the projector. (2)Turn on the main switch of the projector (the POWER indicator lamp will light green). (3) Press the INPUT button of the projector or the RGB button of the remote control and select the input where the computer is to be connected. (4) Turn on the computer power supply. (5) Start the mouse function. If the mouse has not been started, reboot the computer (soft reboot or reboot buttons). (6) Refer to page 10 concerning remote control operation. (7) Varying the force with which the DISK PAD button is pressed varies the speed of mouse operation.

2. RS232C communication

(1) Turn off the projector and computer power supplies and connect with the RS232C cable. (2) Turn on the computer power supply and, after the computer has started up, turn on the projector power supply. (3) Refer to page 21 and set the communication speed and the number of communication bits. (4) Start RS232C communication.

Projector - computer Computer - projector ‘0xH’ : Error code ‘2xH’ : inquiry code ‘1xH’ : response code ‘3xH’ : setting code ‘70H’ : frame error code ‘4xH’ : default setting code ‘x’ indicates the data length (example: x=2 means a 2-byte command).

Changing the projector settings (1) Send the setting code ‘3xH’ + ‘yyH’ +data from the computer to the projector. (2) The projector changes the setting based on the above setting code. (3) The projector returns the response code ‘1xH’ + ‘yyH’ +data to the computer. Using the projector default settigns (1) The computer sends the default setting code ‘40H’ + ‘yyH’ to the projector. (2) The projector changes the specified setting to the default value. (3) The projector returns the default value with the response code ‘1xH’ + ‘yyH’ =data. When a command sent by the projector cannot be understood by the computer (1) The computer sends the command code

3xH’ , ‘4xH’ or ‘4xH’ + ‘yyH’ +data to the projector. (2) When the command sent by the projector cannot be understood, the error command ‘00H’ + ‘yyH’ is returned by the computer. When data sent by the projector cannot be understood (1) The computer sends the command code ‘3xH’ , ‘4xH’ or ‘4xH’ + ‘yyH’ +data to the projector. (2) When the command sent by the projector cannot be understood, the the error code ‘0xH’ +‘yyH’ +data is returned. When the data length is greater than indicated by the data length code, the projector will ignore the excess data code. Conversely, when the data length is shorter than indicated by the data length code, an error code will be returned to the projector. When a frame error occurs Repeats 10 times per second until there is some sort of response to the error code 70H + 70H. When the interval between bytes in one command is 500ms or greater When a command or data is not sent within 500ms after the command code ‘2xH’ , ‘3xH’ or ‘4xH’ is sent by the computer, the error command ‘70H’ +‘70H’ will be returned as soon as the 500ms elapses. After this, if there is no response within 1 sec., a frame error will occur. The response data in (3) above need not match the setting data in (1). For example, when the projector cannot set the setting data in (1), the projector may set the closest value. That value will be used as the response data in (3). Or else the projector will return the error code ‘0xH’ + ‘yyH’ +data. Caution

• Operation cannot be guaranteed when the projector receives an undefined command or data.

• Provide an interval of at least 40ms between the response code and any other code. Caution31 RGB IN12CONTROL RGB OUTS-VIDEO INVIDEO INAUDIO IN
