CLASSIFICATION	STATE	MEASURES
Action 1	The cooling fan system is not operating normally.	If the symptom remains even after disconnecting and then reconnecting the power cord and turning the projector on again, contact your product provider or our service center.
Action 2	The lamp cover protecting the lamp unit is not properly closed or the sensor system is not operating normally.	Check if the screws on the side of the projector are securely tightened. If they are and the indicators are still lit, contact your product distributor or a service center.
Action 3	The lens cover has not opened completely.	Open the lens cover completely.
Action 4	The projector has changed to the Cooling mode because the internal temperature of the projector has increased beyond the maintenance limit.	If the internal temperature of the projector has increased beyond the main-tenance limit, the projector changes to the Cooling mode before turning off automatically. * In Cooling mode, the fan speed is increased and the projector's lamp is changed to <ECO> mode. Check whether the ventilation hole of the projector is blocked. Check the air filter and clean if blocked. Check whether the surrounding temperature of the projector is higher than the standard temperature range of the projector. Cool the projector sufficiently and operate it again.
Action 5	The internal temperature of the projector has risen higher than the limit, and the projector has turned off automatically.	Check whether the ventilation hole of the projector is blocked. Check the air filter and clean if blocked. Check whether the surrounding temperature of the projector is higher than the standard temperature range of the projector. Cool the projector sufficiently and operate it again. If the same problem occurs continually, contact your product distributor or service center.
Action 6	The lamp has malfunctioned after power turns off abnormally or after the projector is powered on right after turning off.	Turn the power off, wait for a sufficient amount of cooling time and then turn the power on to operate. If the same problem occurs continually, contact a Samsung service center.

This Projector uses a cooling fan system to keep the unit from overheating. Operation of the cooling fan may produce noise, This does not affect product performance and is part of normal operation.

4-1 Before Requesting Service

Please check the following before requesting After-Sales service. If the problem continues, please contact your nearest Samsung Electronics Service Center.

	Symptoms	Troubleshooting
Installa- tion and Connec- tion	No Power.	Check the power cable connections.
	I want to install my projector on the ceiling.	The ceiling installation bracket is sold separately. Contact your local product distributor.
	External Source can not be selected.	Be sure that the video cable or cables are properly con-nected to the correct jack or jacks on both ends. If the device is not connected properly, it can not be selected.
Menu and Remote Control	Remote control does not work.	Be sure that the proper external source is selected. Check the battery in the remote. If there is something wrong with it, replace it with a new battery of the recommended size. Be sure to aim the remote at sensor on the back of the unit and at a distance of no more than approximately 32.8 feet(10 m). Remove any obstacles between your remote control and the product. Direct light from 3-way light bulbs or other lighting devices on the remote sensor of the projector may affect the sensitivity and cause the remote control to malfunction. Check if the remote control battery compartment is empty. Check whether the LED indicator on the top of the projector is turned on.
	I cannot select a menu.	Check if the menu is displayed in gray. Gray-colored menu items are unavailable.
Screen and External Source	Cannot see picture images.	Be sure that the power cord of the projector is connected. Be sure that the proper input source is selected. Check that the connectors are properly connected to the ports at the back of the projector. Check the Remote Control batteries. Be sure that the <Color> and <Brightness> settings are not at their lower limit.
	Poor color.	Adjust the <Tint> and <Contrast>.
	Images are not clear.	Adjust the focus. Check if the projector is too far from or too near to the screen.
	Strange noise.	If a strange sound continues, contact your Service Center.
	An operating LED is lit.	Refer to the LED Indications section.
	Lines appear on screen.	On-screen noise may occur when using your PC. Adjust the frequency (refresh rate) of the screen.
	No external device screen is displayed.	Check the operating status for the external device and check whether the adjustable menu items, such as <Brightness> and <Contrast> have been changed correctly in the <Mode> command screen of the Projector menu.
	Only a blue screen appears.	Be sure to properly connect the external devices. Check the connection cables again.
	Screen appears in black and white or in an odd color, or the screen is too dark or bright.	As mentioned above, check the adjustable items such as <Brightness>, <Contrast>, or <Color> in the menu. If you want to restore various settings to their factory defaults, run <Factory Default> from the menu.

Class B (Information Communication equipment for residential use)

This device is registered for EMC requirements for home use (Class B). It can be used in all areas. (Class B equipment emits less electromagnetic waves than Class A equipment.)

The LCD panel used in the LCD projector consists of hundreds of thousands of fine pixels. Like other video display devices, the LCD panel may contain bad pixels which do not operate. When shipping a product, the conditions for identifying bad pixels and the number of bad pixels that a LCD panel is allowed to contain are strictly managed in accordance with the relevant specified standards by the LCD panel manufacturer and our company. Though a screen may have some dead pixels, this does not affect the overall screen quality and the lifetime of the product.

Communication Format (Complies with the RS232C Standard)

Baud rate : 9,600 bps
- parity : None
Data bits: 8, stop bit: 1
- Flow Control : None

Serial Communication Protocol

1. Command Packet Structure [7bytes]

0x08

0x22

cmd1

cmd2

cmd3

value

CS

A command packet consists of 7 bytes in total.
- The two bytes 0x08 and 0x22 signify that the packet is for serial communication.
- The following 4 bytes represent a pre-defined command that can be defined by the user.
- The last byte is the checksum which checks the validity of the current packet.

Header [2 Byte]: Pre-defined values fixed to 0x08 and 0x22.
- Cmd1 [1 Byte]: The first value of the code defined in the command list (Hexadecimal)
- Cmd2 [1 Byte]: The second value of the code defined in the command list (Hexadecimal)
- Cmd3 [1 Byte]: The third value of the code defined in the command list (Hexadecimal)
- Value [1 Byte]: Input parameter for the command (Default: 0) (Hexadecimal)
CS [1 Byte]: Checksum (the 2's complement of the sum of all the values except for the CS value.)

2. Response Packet Structure [3 Bytes]

1. Success

0x03

0x0C

0xF1

2. Fail

0x03

0x0C

0xFF

• When the received packet from an external device has a valid value, a Success packet is sent. Otherwise, a Fail packet is sent.
  A Fail packet is sent if:

The received packet length is not equal to 7 bytes.
- The 2 byte packet header value is not equal to 0 × 08 , 0 × 22 .
The check sum is incorrect.

• Failure detection by an external device

An external device classifies the packet as Fail if it does not receive a Success packet within 100ms.
