About the laser beam

AVOID EXPOSURE-LASER RADIATION IS EMITTED FROM THIS APERTURE
LASER RADIATION DO NOT STARE INTO BEAM WAVE LENGTH: 640-660nm MAX OUTPUT : 1mW CLASS 2 LASER PRODUCT Complies with 21 CFR. 1040. 10 AND 1040. 11 IEC 60825-1:1993+A1:1997
This remote control is a Class 2 laser product. (Max. output : 1 mW, Wavelength : 640-660 nm) Beam Divergence : 6m distance about 10.0mm x 10.0mm (6.0mm) CAUTION : Pressing the LASER button on the remote control emits a laser beam. Do not look into the laser beam directly. Do not point the laser beam at anyone. Looking at the laser beam directly may damage eyesight. Use of controls or adjustments or procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Using the remote control

Battery installation
Use two AA size batteries. 1. Remove the back cover of the remote control by pushing the battery compartment door in the direction of the arrow. 2. Load the batteries making sure that they are positioned correctly (+ to +, and - to -). Load the batteries from - spring side, and make sure to set them tightly. 3. Replace the back cover.
Important: Do not combine a new battery with an old one. Load batteries in the correct position. Do not heat, take apart, or throw batteries into fire. Do not try to recharge batteries. Do not use rechargeable batteries. If the solution of batteries comes in contact with your skin or clothes, rinse with water. If the solution comes in contact with your eyes, rinse them with water and then consult your doctor.

Operation area

The range for operation is about 10 m (33 feet) when the remote control points to the projector. The distance to the screen back to the projector must be less than 7 m (23 feet). Depending on the type of the screen, the distance is different.
Important: Avoid the direct sunlight or fluorescent light to the remote control sensor. Also keep the distance of more than 2 m between the remote control sensor and fluorescent lamp on the remote control may not work correctly.

Installation

Orientation of the projector
Picture size can be set by changing the distance between the screen and the projector. Front projection To find the approximate distance between the projector and screen: Width Screen Multiply the width of the screen A B x 1.8 (min.) , Multiply the width of the screen x 2.2 (max.). Screen Refer to the chart for recommended distances in maximum zoom and A=B minimum zoom.

Front projection, ceiling mount For ceiling mount, you need the ceiling mount kit. Ask a specialist for installation. For more details, consult your dealer. This warranty does not cover damage caused by the use of any unrecommended ceiling mount kit and the installation of the ceiling mount kit at an improper location. For rear projection, set IMAGE REVERSE in the INSTALLATION menu to MIRROR. See Page 16. Caution: Placing the projector on a carpet reduces ventilation from the fan at the bottom and might cause problems. Place a hard board or similar item under the projector to facilitate ventilation of the unit. Place the projector more than 50cm (20 in.) from the wall to prevent blocking the intake, exhaust slots andventilation of this projector because hot air comes out of it. Do not use the projector under the following circumstances, which may cause fire or electric shock. in a dusty or humid place while the projector is lying sideways or upside down near a heater in a kitchen or oily, smoky or damp place in direct sunlight with high temperature, such as the closed car where the temperature is lower than +41F (+5C) or higher than +95F (+35C) Important: Do not put stress on the lens, as this may cause damage.

Adjusting the angle of projection
For the best result, project onto a flat screen with a 90 degree angle to the floor. If necessary, tilt the projector by adjusting two foot adjustments on the bottom of the projector.

Adjustment foot
1. Lift the projector to the appropriate angle. 2. Press the buttons by the projectors adjustable front feet, this will allow the feet to slide out to the approximate position. 3. Release the foot adjustment buttons to lock the feet in that position. 4. Rotate the projector feet for fine adjustment.
Front height adjuster button
After using the projector 5. Return the adjustable feet into the projector. Install the screen on a flat wall at 90 degrees to the floor. Position the projector so that it projects an image filling the screen as illustrated on page 9. Keep an appropriate distance from the projector to the screen according to the screen size chart on page 9. The image becomes trapezoid shape when the screen or project is not level. Use KEYSTONE button and + or - buttons on the remote control to adjust, however, the circumference of the image may not be focused. Important: Slanting the projector more than 10(right and left) or 15 (front and rear) may cause trouble or explosion of the lamp. You can tilt the projector up to 7 degrees using the adjustment feet only. The image may not be projected in a shape of a regular rectangle or with its aspect ratio of 4:3, depending on the installation conditions of the projector and the screen. When the keystone adjustment is carried out, the adjustment value is indicated. Note that this value doesnt mean a projection angle. The allowable range of the adjustment value in the keystone adjustment will vary depending on the installation conditions.
