Is direct sunlight or strong light from fluorescent lamps shining onto the remote control light-receiving area? Are the batteries dead, or have the batteries been inserted correctly? Has a remote control button been pressed for more than 30 seconds?
Face the remote control towards the remote control light-receiving area. The operating angle for the remote control is approximately 30 horizontally and approximately 15 vertically. p.13 The operating range for the remote control is approximately 6m. p.13 Set the projector up in a location where strong light will not shine onto the remote control light-receiving area.
Insert new batteries, while making sure that they face correctly. p.13 If any of the buttons on the remote control are pressed down for more than 30 seconds, the remote control stops sending signals (remote control's sleep mode). The purpose of this is to prevent the batteries from being consumed due to something being placed on top of the remote control. When the button is released, normal remote control operation will resume.

Maintenance

This section describes maintenance tasks such as cleaning the projector and replacing consumable parts.

Cleaning

You should clean the projector if it becomes dirty or if the quality of projected images starts to deteriorate.
Be sure to read the separate Safety Instructions/World-Wide Warranty Terms booklet for details on safe handling of the projector during cleaning.
Cleaning the air filter and air intake vent
If the air filter or air intake vent becomes blocked with dust, the message "The projector is overheating. Clean or replace the air filter and lower the room temperature" will be displayed and you must clean the filter or vent. To do so turn the projector upside-down and use a vacuum cleaner.
If dust collects on the air filter or the air intake vent, it can cause the internal temperature of the projector to rise, and this can lead to problems with operation and shortening of the optical engine's service life. It is recommended that you clean these parts at least once every three months. Clean them more often than this if using the projector in particularly dusty environments.

SECAM An abbreviation for Sequential Couleur A Memoire, and a format for ground-based analogue colour television broadcasts. This format is used in France, Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, the Middle East and Africa. Security lock A device consisting of a protector case with a hole in it that a commercially-available theft-prevention cable can be passed through in order to secure the device to a table or pillar. This projector is compatible with the Microsaver Security System manufactured by Kensington. SVGA A type of image signal with a resolution of 800 (horizontal) x 600 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM PC/ AT-compatible computers. Sync. (Synchronization) The signals output from computers have a specific frequency. If the projector frequency does not match this frequency, the resulting images will not be of a good quality. The process of matching the phases of these signals (the relative position of the crests and troughs in the signal) is called "synchronization". If the signals are not synchronized, problems such as flickering, blurriness and horizontal interference can occur. Tracking The signals output from computers have a specific frequency. If the projector frequency does not match this frequency, the resulting images will not be of a good quality. The process of matching the frequency of these signals (the number of crests in the signal) is called "tracking". If tracking is not carried out correctly, wide vertical stripes will appear in the projected images. VGA A type of image signal with a resolution of 640 (horizontal) x 480 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM PC/ AT-compatible computers. XGA A type of image signal with a resolution of 1,024 (horizontal) x 768 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM PC/ AT-compatible computers. YCbCr The carrier signal which is contained in the color bar signal used in modern TV transmissions. The name comes from the Y (luminance) signal and the CbCr (chroma [color]) signals. YPbPr The carrier signal which is contained in the color bar signal used in high-definition TV (HDTV) transmissions. The name comes from the Y (luminance) signal and the PbPr (color difference) signals.
