The projector may be safely tilted to a maximum angle of 12 degrees.
I Placement should be within 12 degrees of horizontal.
Using the projector in other countries
I The power supply voltage and the shape of the plug may vary depending on the region or country you are using the projector in. When using the projector overseas, be sure to use an appropriate power cord for the country you are in.
Temperature monitor function Do not subject the projector to hard impact and/ or vibration.
I Take care with the lens so as not to hit or damage the surface of the lens. I If the projector starts to overheat due to setup problems or blockage of the air vents, and will illuminate in the lower left corner of the picture. If the temperature continues to rise, the lamp will turn off, the temperature warning indicator on the projector will blink, and after a 90-second cooling-off period the projector will enter the standby mode. Refer to Maintenance Indicators on page 63 for details.
Rest your eyes occasionally.
I Continuously watching the screen for long hours will cause eye strain. Be sure to occasionally rest your eyes.
Avoid locations with extremes of temperature.
I The operating temperature of the projector is from 41F to 95F (+5C to +35C). I The storage temperature of the projector is from 4F to 140F (20C to +60C).
The cooling fan regulates the internal temperature, and its performance is automatically controlled. The sound of the fan may change during projector operation due to changes in the fan speed. This does not indicate malfunction. Do not unplug the power cord during projection or cooling fan operation. This can cause damage due to rise in internal temperature, as the cooling fan also stops.
Do not block the exhaust and intake vents.
I Allow at least 7 7/8 inches (20 cm) of space between the exhaust vent and the nearest wall or obstruction. I Be sure that the intake vent and the exhaust vent are not obstructed.

Press the lamp unit firmly into the lamp unit compartment. Fasten the securing screws.

Securing screws

Replace the lamp unit cover.
Align the tab on the lamp unit cover (1) and place it while pressing the tab (2) to close it. Then tighten the user service screw (3) to secure the lamp unit cover.
If the lamp unit and lamp unit cover are not correctly installed, the power will not turn on, even if the power cord is connected to the projector.

Resetting the Lamp Timer

Reset the lamp timer after replacing the lamp.

Connect the power cord.

Plug the power cord into the AC socket of the projector.

Reset the lamp timer.

While simultaneously holding down and and on the projector, press on the projector.
LAMP 0000H is displayed, indicating that the lamp timer is reset.
Make sure to reset the lamp timer only when replacing the lamp. If you reset the lamp timer and continue to use the same lamp, this may cause the lamp to become damaged or explode.

RS-232C Specifications and Command Settings

PC control

A computer can be used to control the projector by connecting an RS-232C serial control cable (cross type, sold separately) to the projector. (See page 54 for connection.)

Communication conditions

Set the serial port settings of the computer to match that of the table. Signal format: Conforms to RS-232C standard. Parity bit: None Baud rate: 9,600 bps Stop bit: 1 bit Data length: 8 bits Flow control: None

Basic format

Commands from the computer are sent in the following order: command, parameter, and return code. After the projector processes the command from the computer, it sends a response code to the computer. Command format

Return code (0DH)

Command 4-digit Response code format Normal response
Parameter 4-digit Problem response (communication error or incorrect command)
When controlling the projector using RS-232C commands from a computer, wait for at least 30 seconds after the power has been turned on, and then transmit the commands. When more than one code is being sent, send each command only after the response code for the previous command from the projector is verified.

Commands

Example: When turning on the projector, make the following setting.
