Fig. 1
Fig. 2
1) Open the cover. (Fig. 1)
2)  
Insert the batteries and close the cover (insert the 
 m side first). (Fig. 2)
 fWhen removing the batteries, perform the steps in reverse order .
Setting the remote control ID numbers
When you use the system with multiple projectors, you can operate all the projectors simultaneously or each projector individually using single 
remote control, if a unique ID number is assigned to each projector .
After setting the ID number of the projector, set same ID number on the remote control.
The factory default ID number of the projector is set to [ALL]. When using a single projector , press the  button on the 
remote control. Also, you can control a projector by pressing the  button on the remote control even if you do not know the 
projector ID.
How to set
1) Press the  button on the remote control.
2)  
W
 ithin five seconds, press the two ‑ digit ID number set on the projector using the number (  ‑  ) 
buttons.
 f If you press the  button, you can control the projectors regardless of the ID number setting of the projector .
Attention
 fSince the ID number of the remote control can be set without the projector , do not press the  button on the remote control 
carelessly . If the  button is pressed and no number ( - ) buttons are pressed within five seconds, the ID number returns to 
its original value before the  button was pressed.
 f The ID number set on the remote control will be stored unless it is set again. However , it will be erased if the remote control is left with dead 
batteries. Set the same ID number again when the batteries are replaced.
Note
 f Set the ID number of the projector from the [PROJECT OR SETUP] menu → [PROJECTOR ID].

Connecting the remote control to the projector with a cable
When you use the system with multiple projectors, use commercial M3 stereo mini jack cables and connect the other devices to the / terminals of the projector body.
The remote control is effective even in places where an obstacle stands in the light path or where devices are susceptible to outside light.
Connecting terminalsConnecting to a second projector
M3 stereo mini jack cable (commercially 
available)
Remote control
Connecting to the remote control wired 
terminal
Attention
 f Use a cable that is 15   m (49'2") or shorter, with 2 core shield. The remote control may not operate when the length of the cable exceeds 
15   m (49'2") or when the shielding of the cable is inadequate.

Setting up
Installation mode
There are four ways to set up the projector. Set the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu → [PROJECTION METHOD] (x   page   95) depending on 
the installation method. Set [COOLING CONDITION] to [AUTO]. Using the projector with [COOLING CONDITION] set incorrectly may shorten 
the life of the lamp.

Parts for ceiling mount (optional)
You can install the projector on the ceiling using the optional Ceiling mount bracket (Model No.: ET- PKD510H (for high ceilings), ET- PKD510S 
(for low ceilings)).
 f Be sure to use the ceiling mount bracket specified for this projector .
 fRefer to the Installation Instructions of the ceiling mount bracket when installing and setting up the projector .
Attention
 fTo ensure projector performance and security, installation of the Ceiling mount bracket must be carried out by your dealer or a qualified 
technician.

 fAdjustment range of the [GEOMETR Y] items may not match the listed projection range depending on the projection lens. Use this projector 
within the projection range, otherwise the correction may not work.
Projection distance of each projection lens
A ±5 % error in listed projection distances may occur.

Formula to calculate projection distance per projection lens
To use a projected image size not listed in this manual, check the projected image size SD (m) and use the respective formula to calculate 
projection distance.
The unit of all the formulae is m. (Values obtained by the following calculation formulae contain a slight error.)

Adjusting adjustable feet
Install the projector on a flat surface so that the front of the projector is parallel to the screen surface and the projection screen is rectangular .
If the screen is tilted downward, the projection screen can be adjusted to be rectangular by adjusting the front adjustable feet.  The adjustable 
feet can also be used to adjust the projector to be level when it is tilted in the horizontal direction.
Extend the adjustable feet by rotating in the direction shown in the figure and retract by rotating in the opposite direction.
Adjustable range
Adjustable feet: Approx. 12 mm (15/32) each
Attention
 f Heated air is expelled from the air exhaust port while the lamp is lit. Do not touch the air exhaust port directly when adjusting the adjustable 
feet. (
