Important Operating Considerations for Safety
•
Place the projector in a horizontal position no greater than 15 degrees
off axis.
Do not place objects or people in the 2 foot (.6m) area along the side of the projector.
For ceiling mount applications, this area should be 5 feet (1.5m).
•
Locate the projector in a well-ventilated area without any obstructions
to intake or exhaust vents. Do not place the projector on a tablecloth or
other soft covering that may block the vents.
•
Locate the projector at least 4' (1.2 m) away from any heating or cooling
vents.
•
•
Use only Dukane-approved ceiling mounts.
2 ft (.6m)
Use only the power cord provided. A surge-protected power strip is
recommended.
•
•
Refer to this manual for proper startup and shutdown procedures.
In the unlikely event of the lamp rupturing, discard any edible items
placed in the surrounding area and thoroughly clean the area along all
sides of the projector. Wash hands after cleaning the area and handling
the ruptured lamp. This product has a lamp which contains a very
small amount of mercury. Dispose of it as required by local, state or fed-
eral ordinances and regulations. For more information see
Follow these instructions to help ensure image quality and lamp life over
the life of the projector. Failure to follow these instructions may affect the
warranty. For complete details of the warranty, see the Warranty section at
the end of this user's guide.

Troubleshooting your setup
The projector automatically blanks the screen after no active source is
detected for 30 minutes. This blank screen helps preserve the life of the pro-
jector. The image returns when an active source is detected or a remote or
keypad button is pressed. The Interactive Display on the projector indicates
the shutdown status.
If your image appears correctly on the screen, skip to the next section
(page 26). If it does not, troubleshoot the setup. The Interactive Display and
LED on top of the projector indicate the state of the projector and can help
you troubleshoot.

Using the LitePort player
LitePort allows you to display any JPEG image automatically, without a
computer connected. Use your own JPEGs from your digital camera, or con-
vert your files, such as PowerPoint or Word files, into JPEGs using LitePort
Utility software (included on the CD). LitePort Utility allows you to easily
generate the highest quality JPEG images possible. (LitePort player is opti-
mized to display images at 960x720 resolution, so for best results, create
JPEGs at this resolution). Then transfer the JPEG images from your com-
puter to the projector using a USB mass storage device and your images are
ready to be displayed. You can use the remote control to select which JPEGs
to view or you can set up the LitePort player using the LitePort onscreen
menu to select display preferences and automatically display and advance
your JPEGs. See page 36.

Keystone: adjusts the image vertically and makes a squarer image. You can
also adjust keystone from the keypad. If you want the projector to automat-
ically adjust the keystone, check the Auto Keystone check box. If you then
manually adjust the keystone, Auto Keystone is turned off. When the pro-
jector is in Ceiling Mount mode, Auto Keystone is turned off. You can do a
“one-time” automatic keystone adjustment by pressing both Keystone but-
tons on the keypad at the same time.
Contrast: controls the degree of difference between the lightest and darkest
parts of the picture and changes the amount of black and white in the
image.
Brightness: changes the intensity of the image.
Color: (video and component sources only) adjusts a video image from
black and white to fully saturated color.
Tint: (NTSC video sources only) adjusts the red-green color balance in the
image.
Aspect Ratio
Aspect Ratio: Aspect ratio is the ratio of the image width to image height.
TV screens are usually 1.33:1, also known as 4:3. HDTV and most DVDs are
1.78:1, or 16:9. The default is 4:3, which displays the input resized up or
down to fill the display area.
The aspect ratio selection is saved for each source.

checks first for active video during power-up.
Sources>Autosource: When Autosource is not checked, the projector
defaults to the source selected in Power-up Source. If no source is found, a
blank screen displays. When Autosource is checked, Power-up Source
determines which source the projector defaults to at startup. If no signal is
present, the projector checks the sources in order until a source is found or
until power down.
Sources>Monitor Out Enable: Selects the Computer 2/monitor out con-
nector to be a monitor loop through of the incoming Computer 1 signal
when checked. When it is unchecked, this connector acts as a VESA input.
Sources
System>Rear: reverses the image so you can project from behind a translu-
cent screen.
Auto Ceiling: automatically senses when the projector is inverted and turns
the image upside down. This is On by default. When in Ceiling mode, Auto
Keystone is turned off.
Power-up
Source
Ceiling: turns the image upside down for ceiling-mounted projection.
Auto Power: When Auto Power is checked, the projector automatically
goes into the startup state after the projector is powered on. This allows con-
trol of ceiling mounted projectors with a wall power switch.
Low Power: Turn this on to lower the light output of the lamp. This also
lowers the fan speed, making the projector quieter.
System
Display Messages: displays status messages (such as “Searching” or
“Mute”) in the lower-left corner of the screen.

for 20 minutes. After 10 additional minutes with no signal, the projector
powers down. If an active signal is received before the projector powers
down, the image will be displayed.
Screen Save: automatically blanks the screen with a black color after no sig-
nals are detected for a preset number of minutes. The image returns when
an active source is detected or a remote or keypad button is pressed. Screen
Save is disabled when Power Save is enabled.

Be extremely careful when removing the lamp housing. In the unlikely
event that the lamp ruptures, small glass fragments may be generated.
The lamp module is designed to contain most of these fragments, but
use caution when removing it. Before replacing a ruptured lamp, clean
the lamp compartment and dispose of cleaning materials. Wash hands
after lamp replacement. This product has a lamp which contains a very
small amount of mercury. Dispose of it as required by local, state or fed-
eral ordinances and regulations. For more information see

5 Detach the lamp connector from the projector by gently pulling the con-
nector until it is disconnected from the projector.

Cleaning the lamp filter screens
In dirty or dusty environments, the dust filter screens on the lamp module
screen
and lamp door and in the lamp compartment can become clogged, causing
high temperatures inside the lamp module. These high temperatures can
impact lamp performance and operating life. Routine maintenance to
remove dust and dirt from the screens lowers the lamp operating tempera-
ture and prolongs lamp life. To maximize lamp life you will need to clean
the screens every 250 hours. Lamp screen maintenance may need to occur
more often than 250 hours depending on your installation/use environ-
ment.

1 Remove the lamp module. Refer to page 40 for instructions.
After you've wiped each screen, blow away any remaining contami-
nants.
