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.

Remove the battery cover

Slide back and remove the battery cover in the direction of the arrow.

Insert the batteries

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).

Close the battery cover

Replace the battery cover in the direction of the arrow and snap it back into place.
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 is 3 meters with a 90-degree range (45 degrees to the left and right of the remote sensor), and back is 3 meters with a 60-degree range. 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.
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.

THE LAMP

HIGH VOLTAGE HIGH TEMPERATURE HIGH PRESSURE Before replacing the lamp, check the serial number of the replacement lamp bulb (sold separately: DT00401 for CPS225/DT00461 for CPX275), then contact your local dealer. Before replacing the lamp, turn off the power, and unplug the power cord, then wait at least 45 minutes, in order to ensure that the lamp is properly cooled. Removing the lamp bulb while it is still hot could cause burns, or cause the lamp bulb to burst.
The LCD projector uses a glass lamp bulb. It is a mercury lamp with high internal pressure. High-pressure mercury lamps can break with a loud bang, or burn out, if jolted or scratched, or through wear over time. 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 projectors vent holes. Handle with care: jolting or scratching could cause the lamp bulb to burst during use. If the replace lamp indicator (see "Related Messages" (Vol.2 ) and "Regarding the indicator Lamps" (Vol.2 )) comes on, 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. 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. 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 projectors internals, or cause injury during handling, so please do not try to clean the projector or replace the lamp yourself. 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. Do not use the projector with the lamp cover removed. WARNING

Replacing the lamp

ENGLISH 25
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. (See "Related Messages" (Vol.2 ) and "Regarding the Indicator Lamps" (Vol.2 ) for details.)
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 (sold separately: DT00401 for CPS225/DT00461 for CPX275) After making sure that the projector has cooled adequately, slowly flip over the projector, so that the bottom is facing up Unscrew the 2 screws, and remove the lamp cover
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.
Replace the lamp cover, and tighten the 2 screws firmly to lock it in place
Unscrew the 1 screw, and slowly pull out the lamp by the handle
Be careful not to touch the inside of the lamp case.
Slowly turn the projector so that the top is facing up 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. (See OPTION menu (Vol.2 ) for details.)
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. Reset the lamp timer always when replacing the lamp. The message functions will not operate properly if the lamp timer is not reset correctly. When the lamp has been replaced after the message of "CHANGE THE LAMP.THE POWER WILL TURN OFF AFTER 0 hr." is displayed, or the LAMP indicator is red, complete the following operation within 10 minutes of switching power ON.
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.

THE AIR FILTER

Caring for the air filter
The air filter should be cleaned about every 100 hours. If the LAMP indicator and TEMP indicator blink red simultaneously, or a message prompts you to clean the air filter when you turn on the unit, the filter needs to be cleaned. (See "Related Messages" (Vol.2 ) and "Regarding the Indicator Lamps" (Vol.2 ) for details.)
Turn off the projector, and unplug the power cord
Apply a vacuum cleaner to the top of the air filter cover to clean the air filter

Air Filter Cover
