Ensure that you read the following safeguards whensetting up your projector.Caution concerning the lamp unit Potential hazard of glass

particles if lamp ruptures.In case of lamp rupture,contact your nearest EIKIAuthorized ProjectorDealer or Service Centerfor a replacement.See “Replacing the Lamp” on page 66.

Caution concerning the setup of the pro-jector For minimal servicing and to maintain high

image quality, EIKI recommends that this pro-jector be installed in an area free from hu-midity, dust and cigarette smoke. When theprojector is subjected to these environments,the vents and lens must be cleaned moreoften. As long as the projector is regularlycleaned, use in these environments will notreduce the overall operation life of the unit.Internal cleaning should only be performedby a EIKI Authorized Projector Dealer or Ser-vice Center.

Do not set up the projector in places ex-posed to direct sunlight or bright light. Position the screen so that it is not in direct

sunlight or room light. Light falling directly onthe screen washes out the colors, makingviewing difficult. Close the curtains and dimthe lights when setting up the screen in asunny or bright room.

The projector may be safely tilted to amaximum angle of 12 degrees. Placement should be within ±12 degrees of

horizontal.

Warning about placing the projector ina high position When placing the projector in a high posi-

tion, ensure to secure it carefully to avoid per-sonal injury caused by the projector fallingdown.

Do not subject the projector to hard im-pact and/or vibration. Take care with the lens so as not to hit or

damage the surface of the lens.

Rest your eyes occasionally. Continuously watching the screen for long

hours will cause eye strain. Ensure to occa-sionally rest your eyes.

Avoid locations with extremes of tem-perature. The operating temperature of the projector

is from 41°F to 104°F (+5°C to +40°C). The storage temperature of the projector is

from –4°F to 140°F (–20°C to +60°C).

Do not block the intake and exhaustvents. Allow at least 7 7/8 inches (20 cm) of space

between the exhaust vent and the nearestwall or obstruction.

Ensure that the intake vent and the exhaustvent are not obstructed.

If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a pro-tection circuit will automatically put the pro-jector into standby mode to prevent overheatdamage. This does not indicate a malfunc-tion (See pages 64 and 65.). Remove the pro-jector power cord from the wall outlet and waitat least 10 minutes. Place the projector wherethe intake and exhaust vents are not blocked,plug the power cord back in and turn on theprojector. This will return the projector to thenormal operating condition.

PRECAUCIONPRECAUTION

CAUTION

Info

• The cooling fan regulates the internal tem-perature, and its performance is automati-cally controlled. The sound of the fan maychange during projector operation due tochanges in the fan speed. This does notindicate malfunction.

• Do not unplug the power cord during pro-jection or cooling fan operation. This cancause damage due to rise in internal tem-perature, as the cooling fan also stops.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Caution regarding usage of the projector When using the projector, ensure not to sub-

ject it to hard impact and/or vibration, as thiscan result in damage. Take extra care with thelens. If you are not to use the projector for along time, ensure to unplug the power cord fromthe wall outlet, and disconnect any other cablesconnected to it.

Do not use the projector by holding the lens. When storing the projector, ensure to attach

the lens cap to the projector. (See page 11.) Do not expose the storage case or projector

to direct sunlight or near heat sources. Thestorage case or projector may change coloror become deformed.

Other connected equipment When connecting a computer or other audio-

visual equipment to the projector, make theconnections AFTER unplugging the powercord of the projector from the AC outlet andturning off the equipment to be connected.

Please read the operation manuals of the pro-jector and the equipment to be connected forinstructions on how to make the connections.

Using the projector in other countries The power supply voltage and the shape of

the plug may vary depending on the regionor country you are using the projector in.When using the projector overseas, ensureto use an appropriate power cord for the coun-try you are in.

Temperature monitor function If the projector starts to over-

heat due to setup problemsor blockage of the air vents,“ ” and “ ” will illumi-nate in the lower left corner of the picture. If thetemperature continues to rise, the lamp will turnoff, the temperature warning indicator on theprojector will blink, and after a 90-second cool-ing-off period the projector will enter the standbymode. Refer to “Maintenance Indicators” onpage 64 for details.

The warning lights on the projector indicate problems inside the projector. If a problem occurs, either the temperature indicator or the lamp indicator will illuminate red, and

the projector will enter the standby mode. After the projector has entered the standby mode, followthe procedures given below.

About the temperature warning indicator

If the temperature inside the projector increases, due to blockage of the air vents, or the setting location,

“ ” will illuminate in the lower left corner of the picture. If the temperature keeps on rising, the lamp will

turn off and the temperature warning indicator will blink, the cooling fan will run for a further 90 seconds, and

then the projector will enter the standby mode. After “ ” appears, ensure to perform the measures

described on page 65.

About the lamp indicator

When the remaining lamp life becomes 5% or less, “ ” (yellow) and “Change The Lamp.” will be

displayed on the screen. When the percentage becomes 0%, it will change to “ ” (red), the lamp will

automatically turn off and then the projector will automatically enter the standby mode. At this time,the lamp indicator will illuminate in red.

If you try to turn on the projector a fourth time without replacing the lamp, the projector will not turn on.

Info

• If the temperature warning indicator illuminates and the projector enters the standby mode, check whetherany of the ventilation holes are blocked (see page 7) and then try turning the power back on. Wait until theprojector has cooled down completely before plugging in the power cord and turning the power back on.(At least 10 minutes.)

• If the power is turned off for a brief moment due to power outage or some other cause while using theprojector, and the power supply recovers immediately after that, the lamp indicator will illuminate in redand the lamp may not be lit. In this case, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet, replace the powercord in the AC outlet and then turn the power on again.

• Do not unplug the power cord after the projector has entered the standby mode and while the cooling fanis running. The cooling fan runs for about 90 seconds.

The lamp doesnot illuminate.

• The lamp is shutdown abnormally.

• Disconnect the power cord fromthe AC outlet, and then connect itagain.

Lamp It is recommended that the lamp unit (optional: AH-35001) be replaced when the remaining lamp life

becomes 5% or less, or when you notice a significant deterioration in the picture and color quality.The lamp life (percentage) can be checked with the on-screen display. See page 50.

Purchase a replacement lamp unit of type AH-35001 from your place of purchase, nearest EIKI Au-thorized Dealer or Service Center.

Caution Concerning the Lamp This projector utilizes a pressurized mercury lamp. A loud sound may indicate lamp failure. Lamp

failure can be attributed to numerous sources such as: excessive shock, improper cooling, surfacescratches or deterioration of the lamp due to a lapse of usage time.The period of time up to failure largely varies depending on the individual lamp and/or the conditionand the frequency of use. It is important to note that failure can often result in the bulb cracking.

When the lamp replacement indicator and on-screen display icon are illuminated, it is recommendedthat the lamp be replaced with a new one immediately, even if the lamp appears to be operatingnormally.

Should the lamp break, the glass particles may spread inside the lamp cage or gas contained in thelamp may be vented into the room from the exhaust vent. Because the gas in this lamp includesmercury, ventilate the room well if the lamp breaks and avoid all exposure to the released gas. Incase of exposure to the gas, consult a doctor as soon as possible.

Should the lamp break, there is also a possibility that glass particles may spread inside of theprojector. In such a case, it is recommended you contact your nearest EIKI Authorized Dealer orService Center to assure safe operation.

Replacing the Lamp

Caution

• Do not remove the lamp unit from the projector right after use. The lamp will be very hot and may cause burnor injury.

• Wait at least one hour after the power cord is disconnected to allow the surface of the lamp unit to fully coolbefore removing the lamp unit.

Carefully change the lamp by following the instructions described in this section. *If you wish, youmay have the lamp replaced at your nearest EIKI Authorized Dealer or Service Center.

* If the new lamp does not illuminate after replacement, take your projector to the nearest EIKI AuthorizedDealer or Service Center for repair.

Glossary

Aspect RatioWidth and height ratio of an image. The normalaspect ratio of a computer and video image is 4:3.There are also wide images with an aspect ratioof 16:9 and 21:9.

Auto SyncOptimizes projected computer images by auto-matically adjusting certain characteristics.

BackgroundInitial setting image projected when no signal isbeing output.

BorderProjects a 4:3 image fully within a 16:9 screen bykeeping the aspect ratio at 4:3.

ClockClock adjustment is used to adjust vertical noisewhen clock level is incorrect.

CLR Temp (Color temperature)Function that can be used to adjust the color tem-perature to suit the type of image input to the pro-jector. Decrease the color temperature to createwarmer, reddish images for natural flesh tones,or increase to create cooler, bluish images for abrighter picture.

Dot by dotMode that projects images in their native resolution.

Intelligent compressionHigh quality resizing of lower and higher resolu-tion images to fit the projector’s native resolution.

Keystone CorrectionFunction to digitally correct a distorted imagewhen the projector is set up at an angle, smooth-ens out jaggies on keystone images and com-presses the image not only horizontally but verti-cally keeping the 4:3 aspect ratio.

PasswordA password is set so that changes cannot be madein the “Options2” setting.

PhasePhase shift is a timing shift between isomorphicsignals with the same resolution. When phase levelis incorrect, the projected image typically displayshorizontal flicker.

Picture ModeImage quality enhancement function that offers aricher image by brightening the darker portionsof the image without altering the brightness of thebrighter portions. You can select four differentmodes: STANDARD, PRESENTATION, CINEMAand GAME.

ResizeAllows you to modify or customize the picture dis-play mode to enhance the input image. You canselect four different modes: NORMAL, DOT BYDOT, BORDER and STRETCH.

sRGBAn international standard of color reproductionregulated by the IEC (International ElectrotechnicalCommission). As the fixed color area has beendecided by the IEC, the color changes accordingto DLP features, so that the images are displayedin a natural tint based on an original image, when“sRGB” is set to “ON”.

StretchMode that stretches the 4:3 image horizontally todisplay it fully on a 16:9 screen.

System LockIf the “Keycode” set in the projector is not cor-rectly entered, the projector will not operate evenif signals are entered.
