Using the remote control  
Putting batteries into the remote control unit  
CAUTION  
Precautions to observe in regards to the batteries  
Always handle the batteries with care and use them only as directed. Improper use may result in battery  
cracking or leakage, which could result in fire, injury and/or pollution of the surrounding environment.  
Keep the battery away from children and pets.  
Be sure to use only the batteries specified for use with the remote control. Do not mix new batteries with  
used ones.  
When inserting batteries, verify that the plus and minus terminals are aligned correctly (as indicated in the  
remote control).  
When you dispose the battery, you should obey the law in the relative area or country.  
1 Remove the battery cover  
2 Insert the batteries  
3 Close the battery cover  
Replace the battery cover in the  
direction of the arrow and snap  
it back into place.  
Slide back and remove the  
battery cover in the direction of  
the arrow.  
Align and insert the two AA  
batteries (that came with the  
projector) according to their plus  
and minus terminals (as  
indicated in the remote control).  
Operating the remote control  
The remote control works with both the projector's front  
and rear remote sensors.  
The range of the remote sensor on the front and back is 3  
meters with a 60-degree range (30 degrees to the left and  
right of the remote sensor).  
Since the remote control uses infrared light to send  
signals to the projector (Class 1 LED), be sure to use the  
remote control in an area free from obstacles that could  
block the remote control's output signal to the projector.  
approximately  
3 meters  
approximately  
3 meters  
ATTENTION Precautions to observe when using the remote control  
Do not drop or otherwise expose the remote control to physical impact.  
Do not get the remote control wet or place it on wet objects. Doing so may result in malfunction.  
Remove the batteries from the remote control and store them in a safe place if you won't be using the  
remote control for an extended period.  
Replace the batteries whenever the remote control starts to malfunction.  
When strong light, such as direct sunlight or light from an extremely close range (such as from an inverter  
fluorescent lamp), hits the projector's remote sensor, the remote control may cease to function.  
Adjust the direction of the projector to keep light from directly hitting the projector's remote sensor.

Maintenance  
Lamp  
To order a new lamp unit (Lamp Part # RLU-150-001), contact ViewSonic or your dealer. For the lamp part  
number, see the Optional Parts in the Specifications in this guide. For contact information, see the Customer  
Support table in this guide. Before replacing the lamp, turn the Power Switch OFF, remove the power cord  
from the power outlet, then wait at least 45 minutes until the lamp has cooled.  
CAUTION: The lamp may explode if handled at high temperatures.  
HIGH VOLTAGE  
HIGH TEMPERATURE  
HIGH PRESSURE  
WARNING  
The projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp made of glass. The lamp can break with a  
loud bang, or burn out, if jolted or scratched, handled while hot, or worn over time. Note that each  
lamp has a different lifetime, and some may burst or burn out soon after you start using them. In  
addition, when the bulb bursts, it is possible for shards of glass to fly into the lamp housing, and for  
gas containing mercury to escape from the projector’s vent holes  
• If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), unplug the power cord from  
the outlet, and make sure to request a replacement lamp from your local dealer. Note that shards  
of glass could damage the projector’s internals, or cause injury during handling, so please do not  
try to clean the projector or replace the lamp yourself.  
• If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), ventilate the room well, and  
make sure not to breathe the gas that comes out of the projector vents, or get it in your eyes or  
mouth.  
• Do not open the lamp cover while the projector is suspended from above. This is dangerous,  
since if the lamp’s bulb has broken, the shards will fall out when the cover is opened. In  
addition, working in high places is dangerous, so ask your local dealer to have the lamp replaced  
even if the bulb is not broken.  
• If the indicators or a message prompts you to replace the lamp (see the section “Related  
Messages” and “Regarding the indicator Lamps”), replace the lamp as soon as possible. Using  
the lamp for long periods of time, or past the replacement date, could cause it to burst. Do not  
use old (used) lamps; this is a cause of breakage.  
• If the lamp breaks soon after the first time it is used, it is possible that there are electrical  
problems elsewhere besides the lamp. If this happens, contact your local dealer or a service  
representative.  
• Use the lamp of the specified type only. (sold separately)  
• Handle with care: jolting or scratching could cause the lamp bulb to burst during use.  
• Before replacing the lamp, make sure the power switch is off and the power cable is not plugged  
in, then wait at least 45 minutes for the lamp to cool sufficiently. Handling the lamp while hot  
can cause burns, as well as damaging the lamp.  
• Do not use the projector with the lamp cover removed. At the lamp replacing, make sure that the  
screws are screwed in firmly. Loose screws could result in damage or injury.  
• Obey local ordinances when disposing of used lamps. In most cases, it is possible to dispose of  
used bulbs in the same manner as used glass bottles, but in some cases, bulbs are sorted  
separately.

Lamp Life  
Projector lamps have a finite life. The projected images will become darker and hues will become weaker  
after a lamp has been used for a long period of time.  
The LAMP indicator also becomes red when the lamp unit reaches a high temperature. Before replacing the  
lamp, switch the POWER OFF, wait approximately 20 minutes, then switch the POWER ON again. If the  
LAMP indicator still displays red, replace the lamp.  
Replacing the Lamp  
All projector lamps will wear out eventually. If used for long periods of time, the image could become  
darkened, and the color contrast could be impacted as well. We recommend that you replace your lamps early.  
If the LAMP indicator turns red, or a message prompts you to replace the lamp when you power up the  
projector, the lamp needs to be replaced.  
1 Turn off the projector, and unplug the power cord. Allow the lamp bulb to cool for at least 45 minutes, and  
prepare a new lamp  
2 After making sure that the projector has cooled adequately, slowly flip over the projector, so that the  
bottom is facing up  
3 Unscrew the 2 screws, and remove the lamp cover  
4 Unscrew the 1 screw, and slowly pull out the lamp by the handle  
Be careful not to touch the inside of the lamp case.  
5 Insert the new lamp, and tighten the 1 screw firmly to lock it in place  
Also steadily push the opposite side of the screwed side of the lamp into the unit.  
6 Replace the lamp cover, and tighten the 2 screws firmly to lock it in place  
7 Slowly turn the projector so that the top is facing up  
8 Turn on the projector power, and using the menu, reset the lamp timer  
To reset the lamp timer, from the OPTION menu, select LAMP TIME.

ATTENTION:  
Make sure that the screws are screwed in firmly. Loose screws could result in damage or injury.  
Do not use with lamp cover removed.  
Do not reset the lamp timer without replacing the lamp.  
NOTE:  
The LAMP indicator is also red when the lamp unit reaches high temperature.  
Before replacing the lamp, switch power OFF, wait approximately 20 minutes, and switch power ON again. If  
the LAMP indicator is still red, replace the lamp.  
Caring for the Air Filter  
The air filter should be cleaned about every 100 hours. Clean the filter if the LAMP indicator and TEMP  
indicator blink red simultaneously, or if a message prompts you to clean the air filter when you turn on the  
unit, the filter needs to be cleaned. (Refer to “On-Screen Messages” in the Trouble-shooting section.)  
1 Turn off the projector, then unplug the power cord  
2 To clean a reusable filter, carefully vacuum both sides of the filter area.  
Air Filter Cover  
3 If the filter is damaged and needs to be replaced, contact your dealer or ViewSonic Corp. Replace the old  
filter then put the grill back in place.  
4 To reset the Filter Timer, turn on the projector power, go to the Option menu then select filter timer. Reset  
the filter timer.  
CAUTION:  
Switch power OFF and remove the power cord from the power outlet before beginning maintenance work.  
Replace the air filter if contamination cannot be removed or if it is damaged.  
Do not use the equipment with the air filter removed.  
When the air filter becomes clogged with dust etc., the power supply may switch OFF automatically to  
prevent the temperature from rising inside the projector.  
Make sure the lens is cool before cleaning.  
Do not use detergents or solvents such as benzene or thinners.  
Do not use chemical sprays.  
Use a soft cloth or lens paper only.

Caring for the Inside of the Projector  
In order to ensure the safe use of your projector, please have it cleaned and inspected by an authorized Service  
Provider approximately once every 2 years. Never try to care for the inside of the unit yourself. Doing so is  
dangerous.  
Caring for the Lens  
Lightly wipe the lens with a commercially available lens-cleaning wipe. Do not touch the lens directly with  
your hand.  
Caring for the Cabinet and Remote Control Transmitter  
Wipe lightly with gauze or a soft cloth. If soiling is severe, dip a soft cloth in water or a neutral cleanser  
diluted in water, and wipe lightly after wringing well. Then, wipe lightly with a soft, dry cloth.  
CAUTION:  
Make sure to turn off the power and unplug the power cord before caring for the unit. Please care-fully  
read all the PJ650 Quick START GUIDE in this manual, in order to care for your projector correctly.  
Do not use cleaners or chemicals other than those listed above, including benzene and paint thinner.  
Do not use aerosols or sprays.  
Do not polish or wipe with coarse material.  
Gently wipe with a soft cloth. If dirt and stains etc. are not easily removed, use a soft cloth dampened with  
water, or water and a neutral detergent, and wipe dry with a soft, dry cloth.
