Precautions
On safety
· Check that the operating voltage of your unit is identical with the voltage of your local power supply. · Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it further. · Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be used for several days. · To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself. · The wall outlet should be near the unit and easily accessible. · The unit is not disconnected to the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off. · Do not look into the lens while the lamp is on. · Do not place your hand or objects near the ventilation holes. The air coming out is hot. · Be careful not to catch your fingers by the adjuster when you lift up the projector. Do not push hard on the top of the projector with the adjuster out.

On preventing internal heat buildup
After you turn off the power with the I / 1 key, do not disconnect the unit from the wall outlet while the cooling fan is still running. Caution The projector is equipped with ventilation holes (intake) on the bottom side and ventilation holes (exhaust) on left and rear. Do not block or place anything near these holes, or internal heat build-up may occur, causing picture degradation or damage to the projector.

Features
High portability
· Light weight/small size This projector has been miniaturized to approx. 2.9 kg (6 lb 6 oz) in weight and B5-file size through the adoption of a new retractable mechanism. A carrying handle and a removable strap are equipped with the projector, so you can carry it easily with your computer.

control the projector by using the supplied application software from a computer.1) Using this application software, you can open a file you want to use for your presentation with the supplied Remote Commander.
Overview

Accepts various input signals
· Scan converter loaded This projector has a build-in scan converter that converts the input signal within 800 × 600 dots. · Compatible input signals This projector accepts video signals of composite, S video, and component as well as 15k RGB, VGA, SVGA, XGA, and SXGA signals, which all can be displayed. · Compatible with six color systems NTSC, PAL, SECAM, NTSC4.432), PALM, or PAL-N color system can be selected automatically or manually. ...................................................................... · Windows is a registered trademark of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries. · VGA, SVGA, XGA, and SXGA are registered trademarks of the International Business Machines Corporation, U.S.A. · Macintosh is a registered trademark of Apple Computer, Inc. · IBM PC/AT is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation, U.S.A. · VESA is a registered trademark of Video Electronics Standard Association. · Display Data Channel is a trademark of Video Electronics Standard Association. · PC-98 is a trademark of NEC Corporation. 1)The supplied application software and the USB hub function of this projector are compatible with Windows 98 preinstall model. 2)NTSC4.43 is the color system used when playing back a video recorded on NTSC on a NTSC4.43 system VCR.

Reduced noise
On cleaning
· To keep the cabinet looking new, periodically clean it with a soft cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth lightly dampened with a mild detergent solution. Never use strong solvents, such as thinner, benzene, or abrasive cleansers, since these will damage the cabinet. · Avoid touching the lens. To remove dust on the lens, use a soft dry cloth. Do not use a damp cloth, detergent solution, or thinner. · Clean the filter at regular intervals.

Because the projector uses a new cooling mechanism, noise has been reduced.

High brightness, high picture quality
· High brightness Adopting the new developed optical system and the 120 W UHP lamp allows high brightness (light output 600 ANSI lumen) and excellent uniformity on the picture. · High resolution Three 0.7-inch, about 480,000 pixel SVGA panels provide a resolution of 800 × 600 dots for RGB input and 600 horizontal TV lines for video input.

On repacking
· Save the original shipping carton and packing material; they will come in handy if you ever have to ship your unit. For maximum protection, repack your unit as it was originally packed at the factory.

On illumination
· To obtain the best picture, the front of the screen should not be exposed to direct lighting or sunlight. · Ceiling-mounted spot lighting is recommended. Use a cover over fluorescent lamps to avoid lowering the contrast ratio. · Cover any windows that face the screen with opaque draperies. · It is desirable to install the projector in a room where floor and walls are not of light-reflecting material. If the floor and walls are of reflecting material, it is recommended that the carpet and wall paper be changed to a dark color.

Simple setup, easy presentation
· Simple setup with external equipment This projector is preset for 37 kinds of input signals. You can project images from an external signal source just by connecting the equipment with the supplied cable and pushing the APA key. · Simple Remote Commander with mouse control functions You can operate a computer with the Remote Commander since the unit has a build-in mouse receiver.

Compatible with USB (Universal Serial Bus) hub function
You can connect the projector to USB equipment, such as a USB mouse, and

Notes on batteries · Make sure that the battery orientation is correct when inserting batteries. · Do not mix an old battery with a new one or different types of batteries. · If you do not use the Remote Commander for a long time, remove the batteries to avoid damage from battery leakage. If batteries have leaked, remove them, wipe and dry the battery compartment, and replace the batteries with new ones. Notes on Remote Commander operation · Make sure that nothing obstructs the infrared beam between the Remote Commander and the remote control detector on the projector. Direct the Remote Commander toward the front or rear remote control detector. · The operation range is limited. The shorter the distance between the Remote Commander and the projector is, the wider the angle within which the commander can control the projector becomes.

About the Preset Memory No.
This projector has 37 types of preset data for input signals for INPUT-A (the preset memory). When a preset signal is input, the projector automatically detects the signal type and recalls the data for the signal from the preset memory to adjust it to an optimum picture. The memory number and signal type of that signal are displayed in the INPUT SETTING menu. You can also adjust the preset data through the INPUT SETTING menu. This projector has 20 types of user memories for INPUT-A into which you can save the setting of the adjusted data for an unpreset input signal. When an unpreset signal is input for the first time, a memory number is displayed as 00. When you adjust the data of the signal in the INPUT SETTING menu, it will be registered to the projector. If more than 20 user memories are registered, the newest memory always overwrites the oldest one. See the chat on page 39 to find if the signal is registered to the preset memory. Since the data is recalled from the preset memory about the following signals, you can use these preset data by adjusting SIZE. Make fine adjustment by adjusting SHIFT.

The power will be turned off automatically after one minute. · Leave space of more than 30 cm (11 7/8 inches) around the unit. · Be careful that the ventilation holes may inhale tininess such as a piece of paper.

Highly heated and humid

· Avoid installing the unit in a location where the temperature or humidity is very high, or temperature is very low. · To avoid moisture condensation, do not install the unit in a location where the temperature may rise rapidly.
