Important Information About Your
Projector
Important Safety Information
Warning: Never look into the projector lens when the lamp is turned on; the bright light can damage your
eyes. Never let children look into the lens when it is on. Never open any cover on the projector, except the
lamp and filter covers. Dangerous electrical voltages inside the projector can severely injure you. Except as
specifically explained in this User’s Guide, do not attempt to service this product yourself. Refer all servicing
to qualified service personnel.
Warning: The projector and its accessories come packaged in plastic bags. Keep plastic bags away from
small children to avoid any risk of suffocation.
Caution: When you replace the lamp, never touch the new lamp with your bare hands; the invisible residue
left by the oil on your hands may shorten the lamp life. Use a cloth or glove to handle the new lamp.
Remote Control Information
You can operate the projector by remote control via a line-of-sight infrared (IR) receiver at the front of the
projector. The projector may not respond to remote control commands under the following conditions:
❐
There is an object between the remote control IR emitter and the IR receiver on the projector.
❐
Ambient light is too bright.
❐
Certain types of fluorescent lighting are used.
❐
A strong light source shines into the IR receiver.
❐
Other equipment that emits infrared energy, such as a radiant room heater, is in the room.
These conditions commonly cause problems for most infrared-controlled equipment. Try the following
solutions:
❐
The remote control unit’s batteries may be low on power; replace them.
❐
Dim the ambient lighting and/or turn off any fluorescent lights.
❐
Close any window coverings and/or move the projector out of direct sunlight.
❐
Turn off other equipment that emits infrared energy.
