Preparing the projector for operation

Getting ready for projection

1.Connect the power cord provided to the projector.

2.Connect the power cord to the wall power outlet.

3.Remove the lens cap.

Warning:

Do not look directly into the lens when projector is “ON”.

The lens cap is for protecting the lens. If you leave the power on with the cap on, the cap may be warped. Please remove the lens cap when you turn the power on.

This projector is equipped with the power cords for both U.S. and Europe. Use the appropriate power cord for your country.

A three-pin grounding type power plug is used with the projector. Do not remove the grounding pin on the power plug. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your A/C outlet.

The supplied power cord for U.S. is used for 120V only. Never connect to any outlet or power supply having a different voltage or frequency. If you connect to the power supply having a different voltage, please use the appropriate power cord.

Use 100-240V AC 50/60Hz correct voltage other- wise it may lead to fire or electric shock.

Do not place any objects on the power cord, and keep the projector away from heat sources to avoid break- ing the power cord. A broken power cord can cause fire or electric shock.

Do not revise or alter the power cord otherwise it may cause fire or electric shock.

Contact your dealer if the cord is broken.

Caution:

Plug in firmly and unplug by holding the plug, not by pulling the cable out.

Do not plug in or out with wet hands. It may cause an electric shock.

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.

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 explo- sion 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 doesn’t mean a projection angle.

The allowable range of the adjustment value in the keystone adjustment will vary depending on the installation conditions.
