    NOTE
    Interactive Function (continued)
    • Do not place the projector near equipment that may emit 
    electromagnetic waves or radio waves, such as a radio transmitter , TV, copier, 
    or air-conditioner.
    • Avoid excessively dusty places, or places that are subject to extremely high or 
    low temperature or humidity.
    •  The pen makes use of infrared light to detect positions. Avoid using it at a 
    place where the screen surface is directly exposed to sunlight.  Also, note that 
    the pen may not function properly if it is used near an equipment that emits 
    infrared wavelengths (plasma display, motion sensor, or automatic lighting 
    sensor, etc.).
    •  The pen detects positions using ultrasonic waves, and therefore may not 
    function properly when used in an environment where resonance is likely to 
    occur, such as at the corner of a room or beside a metallic shelf.
    • Malfunction may occur when two or more projectors are used in the same 
    room.
    •  The pen movement may be disrupted if the projector is used near an inverter 
    fluorescent light, or when the light of an inverter fluorescent light falls directly on 
    the screen.
    • The PEN sensor may not work correctly if strong light (such as direct sunlight) 
    or light from an extremely close range (such as from an inverter fluorescent 
    lamp) falls on the PEN sensor of the projector. Adjust the position of projector 
    avoiding those lights.
    • When dust accumulates on the two horns of the pen sensor, the pen may 
    malfunction, or it may not function at all. When this occurs, check the horns of 
    the pen sensor, and remove any dust accumulated on them using a vacuum 
    cleaner.
    When using the interactive function, the recommended computer specifications 
    are shown below.
    ü CPU: Intel Core2 Duo 2.0 GHz or faster
    ü Memory:  
    1 GB or more (Windows
    ® XP)
          2 GB or more (Windows Vista® and Windows® 7)
    ü HDD:    600 MB free space
    ü Display:   High Color (16 Bit) or more
    ü Web browser: Internet Explorer
    ® 6.0 / 7.0 / 8.0
    * 
     Hardware overlay capability is required on the graphics processor for movie 
    playback function.
    * 
      A DV Capture Device that supports Direct Show with a WDM device is required for playback and 
    capturing on Web cam.

    NOTE• Install and use at a position where the screen size is between 60"-
    100" when digital zoom is at the maximum (100%) and the KEYSTONE and 
    PERFECT FIT functions are not used. If the KEYSTONE or PERFECT FIT 
    function is used, the position of the pen may not be reflected correctly on the 
    screen, or pen operation may not yield any response even on the 60''-100'' 
    sized screen.
    • Note that the interactive pen may not function properly if it is used near 
    equipment that emits ultrasonic waves (for example: pest control unit, motion 
    sensor, etc.) or it vibrates.
    • 
    StarBoard Software may not activate, if DirectX® function of the computer is 
    turned off. In that case, turn on DirectX® function. Please inquire your computer 
    or OS support hotline on how to confirm the settings of DirectX® function On/Off.

    Interactive Function (continued)
    • When Interactive Function is in use, it is recommended that you make 
    use of input signals from the  COMPUTER IN1 and COMPUTER IN2 ports. 
    Optimal performance cannot be achieved using input signals from the  USB 
    TYPE B and LAN ports.
    • Noise through the USB cable may trigger a malfunction depending on the 
    computer and projector you are using. When this occurs, check to ensure that 
    the power cables of the computer and projector are grounded. Malfunction may 
    occur if the cables are not grounded.
    •  The pen sensor may be blocked if the projector is placed directly on the 
    floor. It is recommended the projector be mounted on the wall or ceiling. The 
    Interactive Function does not work during rear projection.
    • It is also recommended to use an  HDMI port alternative to a COMPUTER IN 
    port.
    Connection during use
    Follow the procedure below to connect the computer to the projector .
    (1)   Connect the computer cable to the  COMPUTER IN port of the projector, and 
    fasten using the screw.
    (2)   Connect the opposite end of the computer cable in (1) to the DISPLA Y port of 
    the computer, and fasten using the screw. 
    (3)   Connect the USB TYPE B port of the projector to the USB type A port of the 
    computer with a USB cable.
    (4)   Connect the power supply of the projector and computer.
    ►Be careful of the wired cables. Tripping over the cables may 
    result in injury or damage the projector or computer.   CAUTION

    Interactive Function (continued)
    Preliminar y preparation
    Using the pen
    To use the Interactive Function, a special pen is needed (6).
    Insert battery into the pen before using  (
    19).
    To write or draw using the pen, press the tip of the pen against the screen surface 
    and move the pen accordingly. Writing ends once the tip of the pen is moved 
    away from the screen surface.
    Pay attention to the two points below when using the pen.
    (1)   When drawing using the pen, hold it perpendicularly to the screen as much as 
    possible, and draw objects by pressing the tip of the pen against the screen 
    to apply writing pressure. When information is sent out correctly from the pen, 
    a faint operating sound can be heard. Be aware that this is not a failure or 
    malfunction.
    (2)    The tip of the pens comes with a mini built-in transmitter. Transmission of 
    drawing data from the pen may fail if you hold the pen at the transmission 
    unit while writing or drawing. If the characters or objects that you have written 
    or drawn on the screen cannot be loaded correctly on the computer , check 
    whether the problem can be resolved by changing the way you hold the pen.
    ►Do not drop the pen or mishandle it.
    •   Do not expose the pen to water or other fluids. If the pen is wet accidentally , 
    wipe it dry immediately.
    •   If you do not intend to use the pen for a long time, remove the battery .
    •   When using the pen, do not hold it at the black line or any area beyond it. 
    Otherwise, the pen may not function properly.CAUTION
    NOTE
    • The projector detects the pen coordinates by reading infrared and 
    ultrasound signals emitted by the pen. Therefore, input may fail if transmission 
    between the pen and the projector is blocked. Make sure that signal 
    transmission is not obstructed.
