6.1  
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
Switch off all equipment before connecting together the  
various items. Be aware of static electricity that may build  
up, especially in the dry season and when operating on  
synthetic carpets. Discharge any static electricity by  
touching a metallic surface before you start.  
Do not cover the air inlets in front and on top of the projector  
housing, as this will block the cooling. Also make sure to  
place the projector on a flat, hard surface to avoid blocking  
the air inlet at the bottom of the unit. A thermal safety switch  
will cut off the illumination system if the ventilation is  
reduced.  
Do not connect any devices or cables other than those  
supplied with the LCD projector into the connector ports on  
the projector unit, even if the connector ports appear  
identical, as this voids any warranty and may cause  
permanent damage to the projector, and to the connected  
source apparatus.

8 SPECIAL FEATURES OF YOUR LCD  
PROJECTOR  
8.1  
INTELLIGENT COOLING SYSTEM  
The fan operates as long as the LCD projector is switched on. Provided  
that the power cord is connected, the fan continues to run for 2 minutes  
even after the unit has been switched off. This ensures a continuous  
protection against high temperature inside the projector. The cooling  
system is designed to minimize stray light and noise. If the air flow is  
blocked, a temperature safety fuse will automatically shut off the  
projector to protect it from overheating.  
8.2  
SET-UP MEMORY  
The user controlled set-up, that usually is done when the projector is  
connected to a new computer, is automatically memorized for future use.  
The set-up information is stored in a non-volatile memory approximately  
5 seconds after the last key is pressed.  
The memory can store 40 different sources/modes. Some sources are  
predefined, while the remaining are available for customer set-up. See  
the Technical Data section for compatibility.  
Custom sources are added to the memory only if their sync pattern  
differs from any of the previous selections. The projector automatically  
selects a new memory location.  
Most settings are stored individually for each mode, including contrast,  
brightness, tune etc. See the remote control function table in section  
Using the LCD Projector.  
8.3  
OSD SYSTEM  
The OSD (On Screen Display) system echoes on screen your keypad or  
remote control actions. The OSD may be switched off and on by  
pressing the OSD key on the remote control.  
27  
 
USER GUIDE  
LCD PROJECTOR  
8.4  
RESET  
This feature enables standard settings of most controls. RESET will only  
reset the active mode.  
A fundamental master reset may be performed by pressing all  
four top panel keys simultaneously. All settings will return to  
factory defaults, so do not perform a master reset unless it is  
really required. This operation will also erase all custom sources  
and modes that have been memorized.  
8.5  
POWER SAVE FEATURE  
If ON/OFF is pressed on the remote control, the screen goes blank, and  
after five minutes if there is no futher action the LCD projector lamp will  
also switch off. Full power on is returned by pressing ON/OFF again on  
the remote control.

10 MAINTENANCE  
10.1  
GENERAL  
From time to time, the LCD projector unit and lens may be cleaned with  
a damp, non-abrasive cloth to remove dust and dirt spots. The lens  
should be cleaned with a mild dish-washing detergent solution, or with  
standard lens cleaning solutions available from a photographic dealer.  
Do not scratch the lens surface and use the lens cap for  
added protection when the projector is not in use. Remember  
to remove the lens-cap when the LCD projector is in use!  
10.2  
LAMP REPLACEMENT  
The projector is using a 575W metal halide lamp for illumination. The  
recommended lamp type is Osram HMI 575 W/GS Dual Ended. This  
lamp is HIGH PRESSURE when operating. The lamp may not be  
changed by the user for safety reasons and under the terms of the  
warranty. Always refer to authorized dealers if the LCD projector  
transmits a lamp replacement message.  
There are no user servicable parts inside the projector. Never  
touch any glass parts (lamp bulb or lenses), as the fingerprints  
will burn and affect the optical quality of the projected image.  
Also, fingerprints on the lamp bulb may cause damage and  
possibly explosion of the lamp when in operation. If any parts  
of the lamp or optics have been touched, it must be cleaned  
using a cloth moistened with alcohol (included with  
replacement bulb) and polished with a dry cloth.
