r LCD panel
 
f The LCD panel is precision-made. Note that in rare cases, pixels of high precision could be missing or always lit. Note that 
such phenomena do not indicate malfunction. If still images are projected for a long time, a residual image may remain on 
the LCD panel. Note that the residual image may not disappear.
 
r Optical parts
When the operating environment temperature is high or in environments wh\
ere lots of dust, cigarette smoke, etc. is present, 
the replacement cycle of the LCD panel, deflection panel and other optical parts may be shorter even if used for less than one 
year. Consult your dealer for details.
 
r Do not move the projector or subject it to vibration or impact while it is operating.
Doing so may shorten the life of the built-in motor.
 
r Lamp
The light source of the projector is a high-pressure mercury lamp.
A high-pressure mercury lamp has the following characteristics.
 
f The luminance of the lamp will decrease by duration of usage.
 
f The lamp may burst with a loud sound or have its service life shortened \
because of shock, chipping, or degradation due to 
cumulative runtime.
 
f The lamp life varies greatly depending on individual differences and usage conditions. In particular, continuous use for 12 
hours or more and frequent off/on switching of the power greatly deteriorate the lamp and affects the lamp life.
 
f In rare cases, the lamps burst shortly after projection starts.
 
f The risk of bursting increases when the lamp is used beyond its replacement cycle. Make sure to replace the lamp unit 
regularly.
(“When to replace the lamp unit” ( x page 133), “How to replace the lamp unit” ( x page 133))
 
f If the lamp bursts, gas contained inside of the lamp is released in the form of smoke.
 
f It is recommended that you store the Replacement Lamp Unit as a contingency .
 
r Computer and external device connections
 
f When connecting a computer or an external device, read this manual carefully regarding the use of power cords and 
shielded cables as well.
Disposal
To dispose of the product, ask your local authorities or dealer for corre\
ct methods of disposal.
The lamp contains mercury. When disposing of used lamp units, contact your local authorities or d\
ealer for correct methods of 
disposal.

Note
 
f When operating the remote control by directly pointing the remote contro\
l signal receiver of the projector, operate the remote control at 
a distance approx. 30 m (98'5") or shorter from the remote control signal receiver. The remote control can control at angles of up to ±30° 
vertically and horizontally, but the effective control range may be reduced.

Using the remote control
Inserting and removing the batteries
(ii)(i)
Fig. 1Fig. 2
1) Open the cover. (Fig. 1)
2)  Insert the batteries and close the cover (insert the m side first). (Fig. 2)
 
f When removing the batteries, perform the steps in reverse order.
Setting the ID number of the remote control
When you use the system with multiple projectors, you can operate all th\
e 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)  Within 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
 
f Since 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 [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu → [PROJECTOR ID].
