*About Cool Down Mode
Note
After projection, the heated lamp will go through a 90-
second cool-down process known as the cool down
mode. This function is to prevent damage and defor-
mation that heat from the heated lamp may cause to
the internal components of this unit. It also prevents
lamp breakage and shortened lamp life.
When in the cool down mode, do not pull out the plug
from the power outlet. Also, do not block the air inlets/
exhaust vents by standing this unit on its end or lay-
ing it on its side.
The cool down mode is indicated by the blinking
[STAND BY] indicator. When in the cool down mode,
the [OPERATE] button will be disabled.
After the cool down process is completed, the unit will
automatically switch to the standby mode.

Loading Batteries into the Remote Control
Load batteries into the remote control. If the remote control starts to function erratically, replace the batteries.
1 Open the back cover
Precautions for Using Batteries
Press the back cover slightly and slide it in the direction of
the arrow.
If batteries are incorrectly used, they may crack or leak. This
could cause fire, burn, malfunction, and staining or damag-
ing of the surroundings.
Beware of the following:
•
Do not mix new and old batteries.
•
Do not mix different type of batteries as they are different in
characteristics.
•
•
•
•
•
Insert batteries according to the ª · marks on the battery case.
Be sure to insert the minus · end in first to prevent short circuit.
Do not put batteries into fire or recharge them.
Use only designated batteries.
Remove the batteries if the remote control is not to be used for a
prolonged period.
Battery Life
Batteries last for 6 months to 1 year under normal use. However,
batteries provided are for confirming operation and may not last
that long. When the remote control fails to operate properly, re-
place the batteries with new ones.
2 Load the batteries
Insert the 2 (AAA) batteries supplied according to the 9,
( marks. To prevent short circuit, be sure to insert the (
(minus) end of the battery first.
Battery Leakage
When the batteries are totally exhausted and can no longer be
used, replace them immediately.
Leaving the batteries in the battery compartment causes leakage,
which may in turn lead to malfunction.
In cases where the leakage comes to contact with the skin, wipe it
away with a cloth. Otherwise, skin problems may occur.
3 Close the back cover
Slide in the direction of the arrow to close the back cover.

Installing the Projector
Precautions for Installation
Please read the following carefully when installing this unit.
Installation Environment
Precaution for Usage
This unit is a precision device. Do not install it at the following
places. Doing so may cause fire or malfunction of the unit.
This unit uses a light-source lamp which reaches high tem-
perature when projecting. Please do not use it in the follow-
ing ways. Doing so may cause fire or malfunction of the unit.
•
•
•
•
Where there is water, humidity or dust
Where the unit may be subjected to oily or cigarette smoke
On a soft surface such as carpet or cushion
Where the unit may be subjected to high temperature due to
direct sunlight
•
Projecting the image while the unit is on its side
Projecting images outside the specified angle
Do not use this unit by setting it beyond 5° horizontally (left/
right) or 25° vertically (up/down). This may cause color varia-
tion or shorten the lamp life.
•
•
Where temperature is high or low
Allowable operation temperature range: +5 °C to +35 °C
•
Projecting images at places where the air inlets and exhaust
vents are blocked
Allowable relative humidity range
: 20% to 80% (no con-
densation)
Allowable Storage Temperature range : –10 °C to +60 °C
Any room in which there is cigarette smoke or grease
Even where smoke and grease levels are minimal, prolonged
exposure will affect this unit. This unit emits heat and optical
components are cooled down by taking in large amount of air.
The optical path may be soiled by grease/dirt, thus causing im-
ages to become dark or color projection to deteriorate. When
soiling on the optical components occurs, removal of grease/dirt
totally will not be possible.
•
Minimum Space Required
Do not use a cover which may enclose
this unit air-tight or block the air inlets/
exhaust vents. Allow sufficient space
150 mm
around this unit. When this unit is
300 mm

Projector and Screen Installation
The optimum image can be obtained when the center of this unit lens and the screen are placed perpendicular to each other.
Take note of the projection angle when placing them. Failing to do so may give rise to trapezoidal distortion of the projected
image.
● This unit does not come with a function to correct trapezoidal distortion.

Effective Range of Remote Control Unit
The operable distance of the remote control unit is about 7 m for direct reception. The remote control unit can be used by having
the transmission signal reflected off a screen.
● If the fluorescent lamp is lit, the remote control unit might not function properly.
Ⅵ When reflecting off a screen
Ensure that total of distance A between this unit and screen and distance B between remote control and screen is within 7 m.
● As the effect of signals reflected from the remote control unit differ with the type of screen used, operable distance may
decrease.

Replacing the Lamp
Light-source Lamp and Lamp Usage Time
The light-source lamp has a service life. The life of lamps used for this unit is about 2000 hours.
● The lamp life of 2000 hours is merely the average life span of lamps and we do not provide any guarantee for this figure. The
lamp life may not reach 2000 hours depending on the operating conditions.
When the light-source lamp approaches the end of its service life, deterioration progresses rapidly. Get ready or replace with a
new lamp (lamp unit) when the accumulated lamp usage time exceeds 1900 hours. Depending on the operating conditions, the
lamp may have to be exchanged earlier. If the image is dark or color tone abnormal, replace the lamp as soon as possible. You
can also check the accumulated hours of usage. Please refer to the “Lamp Time” item of the “Information” menu. (☞ Pages 22,
25)
Please consult your authorized dealer when purchasing a new lamp unit.

☞
Page 30).
Ⅵ When the lamp usage time exceeds 2010 hours
The unit quits the projection mode (operating mode) and switches
into the cool down mode.
● The [LAMP] and [OPERATE] indicators will start blinking.
The projection mode (operating mode) cannot be restored until a

Page 30).
About Lamp Replacement
● If this unit is installed in a constricted place, attempting to replace the lamp in that place may cause injury. Move this unit
to a place large enough to perform the work.
● Use only genuine replacement parts for the lamp unit. Otherwise, malfunction may occur. Also, never attempt to re-use an
old lamp unit. This may cause marked performance deterioration or lamp blowout, thus leading to unit malfunction.
Broken pieces of the lamp outside this unit may also cause injuries during lamp unit exchange.
● Do not replace the lamp immediately after this unit has been used. The temperature of the lamp unit is still high and this
may cause a burn. Allow a cooling period of 1 hour or more before replacement.
● Before replacing the lamp unit, pull out the power plug from the outlet while the [STAND BY] indicator is still on. Replacing
a lamp with the plug connected to the outlet may cause injuries or electric shocks.
Procedure for Lamp Replacement
1 Loosen the screws and remove the lamp
cover
● Loosen the 2 screws with a ª screwdriver.

Caution
Do not touch the glass surface of the lamp directly with
your hand or stain it. Touching it with a bare hand may
dirty the surface, hence shortening the lamp life, causing
marked performance deterioration such as darkened
screens, lamp blowout as well as malfunction.

Note
When fitting the lamp cover, insert the left end (with 2 claws)
of the lamp cover into the unit, followed by ensuring that
the protruding part on the reverse side of the lamp cover
fits snugly into the hole of the unit.
As this protrusion acts as a switch, misfitting may lead to
failure in turning on the power.

Cleaning and Replacing the Filter
Clean the filter regularly or air intake efficiency may deteriorate and malfunction may occur. If the filter is extremely dirty and
cannot be cleaned, or if it is damaged, replace the filter with a new one (lower filter: LC32087-002A / inner filter: LC32058-
002A). Otherwise, dirt may enter the unit and appear on the screen, preventing you from enjoying the video fully. If dirt has
entered the unit or if you need information about the filter, please consult your authorized dealer.
The air inlet filter on the right side cannot be removed. Please clean this filter regularly with, for example, a vacuum
cleaner.
