➢ Ensure that the intake vents do not recycle hot air from the exhaust vent.
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.
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 shutdown even if the enclosure temperature is with the acceptable 5 – 35°C range.

Power Safety

▶ Only use the supplied power cord.
Do not place anything on the power cord. Place the power cord where it will not be in the way of foot traffic.
Remove the batteries from the remote control when storing or not in use for a prolonged period.

Replacing the Lamp

Replacing the lamp can be hazardous if done incorrectly. See Replacing the Projection Lamp on page 36 for clear and safe instructions for this procedure. Before replacing the lamp:

▶ Unplug the power cord.
- Allow the lamp to cool for about one hour.

Cleaning the Projector

➢ Unplug the power cord before cleaning. See Cleaning the Projector page 39.
- Allow the lamp to cool for about one hour.

Caution:

In rare cases the lamp bulb may burn out during normal operation and cause glass dust or shards to be discharged outward from the rear exhaust vent.

Do not inhale or do not touch glass dust or shards. Doing so could result in injury.

Always keep your face away from the exhaust vent so that you do not suffer from the gas and broken shards of the lamp.

Regulatory Warnings

Before installing and using the projector, read the regulatory notices in the Regulatory Compliance on page 51.

Remote Control Operating Range

The remote control uses infrared transmission to control the projector. 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.

MAINTENANCE AND SECURITY

Replacing the Projection Lamp

The projection lamp should be replaced when it burns out. It should only be replaced with a certified replacement part, which you can order from your local dealer.

Important:

a. The projection lamp used in this product contains a small amount of mercury.
b. Do not dispose this product with general household waste.
c. Disposal of this product must be carried out in accordance with the regulations of your local authority.

Warning:

Be sure to turn off and unplug the projector at least 30 minutes before replacing the lamp. Failure to do so could result in a severe burn.

Caution:

In rare cases the lamp bulb may burn out during normal operation and cause glass dust or shards to be discharged outward from the rear exhaust vent.

Do not inhale or do not touch glass dust or shards. Doing so could result in injury.

Always keep your face away from the exhaust vent so that you do not suffer from the gas and broken shards of the lamp.

VIVITEK D536-3D - Caution: - 1

IF A LAMP EXPLODES

If a lamp explodes, the gas and broken shards may scatter inside the projector and they may come out of the exhaust vent. The gas contains toxic mercury.

Open windows and doors for ventilation.

If you inhale the gas or the shards of the broken lamp enter your eyes or mouth, consult the doctor immediately.

  1. Loosen the captive screw on the lamp compartment cover.

  3. If a little water gets into the projector interior while cleaning, leave unplugged in a well-ventilated room for several hours before using.
  4. If a lot of water gets into the projector interior when cleaning, have the projector serviced.

Cleaning the Lens

You can purchase optic lens cleaner from most camera stores. Refer to the following to clean the projector lens.

  1. Apply a little optic lens cleaner to a clean soft cloth. (Do not apply the cleaner directly to the lens.)
  2. Lightly wipe the lens in a circular motion.

Caution:

  1. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  2. To prevent discoloration or fading, avoid getting cleaner on the projector case.

Cleaning the Case

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 suspending mode.
- Ensure a connected notebook computer is configured for an external display. (This is usually done by pressing an 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 ^TM cable and a “High-Speed” HDMI ^TM cable?

Recently, HDMI ^™ Licensing, LLC announced that cables would be tested as Standard or High-Speed 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 ^TM cables longer than 10 meters?

There are many HDMITM Adopters working on HDMITM 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 ^TM 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.
