• Load the batteries from - spring side, and make sure to set them tightly.
3. Replace the back cover.
Caution:
• Use of a battery of wrong type may cause explosion.
• Only Carbon-Zinc or Alkaline-Manganese Dioxide type batteries should be used.
• Dispose of used batteries according to your local regulations.
• Batteries may explode if misused. Do not recharge, disassemble, or dispose of in fire.
• Be sure to handle the battery according to the instructions.
• Load the battery with its positive (+) and negative (-) sides correctly oriented as indicated on the remote control.

Operation range (of the remote control)
The maximum operation distance of the remote control is about 10 m (or about 32 feet) when the remote control is pointed at the remote control
sensor of the projector. When the remote control is pointed to the screen, the distance from the remote control to the projector via the screen should
be 5 m or less. However, the operation distance varies depending on the type of the screen used.
Important:
• Do not expose the remote control sensor to direct sunlight or fluorescent. Keep a distance at least 2 m (6.5 feet) between the remote control sen-
sor and the fluorescent light to ensure correct operation of the remote control.
Inverted fluorescent light, if located near the projector, may interfere the remote control.

J Remove the objects blocking the intake vent and/or exhaust vents and then carry out the following proce-
dure.
1. Wait for the intake fan and/or exhaust fan to stop. (Wait until the STATUS indicator goes out.)
Power turns off. 2. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
3. Wait about 10 minutes.
4. Plug the power cord into the wall outlet.
5. Press the POWER button.
• Check that AUTO POWER OFF has been set to OFF.
• If the lamp has deteriorated, it may go out after a while it illuminates.
• PASSWORD FUNCTION in the FEATURE menu has been set to DISPLAY INPUT to enable the password

The screen for entering the password appears. J Enter the password or contact the person in charge of management of the projector.
(See page 25.)
• Turn on the power of the connected device, or check whether there is something wrong with the connected
device.
• Check whether the external device output signals. (Check this especially when the external device is a note-
book computer.)
"NO SIGNAL" is displayed. • Check that the cable connected to the external device isn’t defective.
• Check that the projector is connected to the external device using the correct terminals.
• Check that the connected device is correctly selected as the input source.
• When an extension cord is being used, replace it with the supplied cable and check whether images are pro-
jected correctly. If images are projected correctly, use an RGB signal amplifier along with the extension cord.
EN-29
Troubleshooting (continued)
• Check that the cable connected to the external device isn’t intermittent.
• Connect the cable’s plug with the external device’s connector firmly.
Projected images are shaking. • Press the AUTO POSITION button.
Projected images are displaced. • Some computers output out-of-spec signals on rare occasion. Adjust the SIGNAL menu. (See page 24.)
• When the input signal is a WXGA video signal, confirm the setting selected in WXGA in the FEATURE menu.
• When the input signal is other than a WXGA video signal, select "OFF" in WXGA in the FEATURE menu.
Projected images are distorted. • Adjust the projector and the screen so that they are perpendicular to each other. (See page 9.)
• Adjust BRIGHTNESS and CONTRAST in the QUICK MENU or the IMAGE menu. (See page 23.)

Fine streaks are seen on projected images. • Vertical or horizontal streak noise may appear on the projected image, depending on the type of the DVD
player, game console or computer you use. In such a case, you can reduce such streak noise by enabling the

Hue is not appropriate. • Check that the cables connected to the external devices are not broken.
• Check that COMPUTER INPUT in the SIGNAL menu is correctly set. (See page 22.)
Tint in projected images is incorrect.
• Check that the cable connected to the external device isn’t broken.
• When comparing images projected by two projectors, tints in the displayed images may be different because
of variation between their optical components. This is not a malfunction.
Different color tint. • When comparing the image projected by this projector with those displayed on the television or PC monitor,
tints in the displayed images may be different because of difference in the range of color reproducibility. This
is not a malfunction.
• Match the output resolution of your computer with the resolution of the projector. For the method to change
the output resolution of the computer, contact the manufacturer of your computer. (See page 35.)
Projected images are obscured.
• Some images and texts appear obscured during the keystone adjustment. In such cases, use the projector
without applying the keystone adjustment. (See page 12.)
• After the Power button or On button on the remote has been pressed, or the Lamp mode setting has
changed, images may be flickering until the lamp lights stably. This is an expected behavior.

Maintenance
Warning:
Do not use flammable solvents (benzene, thinner, etc.) and flammable aerosols when cleaning the projector body and lens. Flammable substances
may ignite causing fire or breakdown while the lamp is illuminating.
Caution:
Be sure to turn off the lamp and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before you perform any maintenance on the projector.
Cleaning of the projector and the ventilation slots
Use a soft cloth to clean the projector and the ventilation grilles. When the grilles become dirty, wipe them with a soft cloth dampened with diluted
mild detergent, and then wipe them with a dry cloth.
To protect the surface of the projector from fading or deteriorating:
• Do not spray insecticide on or inside the projector.
• Do not use benzin or thinner to clean it.
• Do not let rubber or plastic materials contact with projector.
Cleaning of the lens
Use a standard lens-cleaning brush or a piece of lens tissue dampened with lens cleaning fluid. The lens surface is fragile. Use only recommended,
nonabrasive lens-cleaning materials. Do not touch the lens with your fingers.
