time before displaying 4:3 image, the afterimages
of the black bars may appear on the 4:3 image
screen. Consult your dealer in this case.
Caution:
• The lamp can't be lit again for one minute after
turned off for safety purpose. It will take another
one minute for the STATUS indicator to go out. If
you want to turn on the projector again, wait until
the indicator goes out, and then press the POWER
button.
• The air outlet fans rotate faster as the temperature
around the projector rises.
• When the temperature around the projector rises
high, the sign "Temperature!!" blinks red on the
screen. If the temperature stays high, the lamp will
go out automatically.
Important:
• Do not display a still picture for a long time
because the afterimages may persist on the screen.
When connecting to a laptop computer:
When this projector is connected to a laptop
computer, there may be times when images may not
be projected. When it occurs, set the computer so that
it can output signals externally. The procedure varies
across computers in use. See the instruction manual
of your computer.

Presentation.
• If the viewing distance is nearer than the
recommended distance, it will cause physical
discomfort and eye fatigue.
• Watch the contents in front of the screen, not at big
angle. If you are viewing the screen at big angle,
you may not be able to view 3D contents correctly.
• If you are not viewing 3D contents correctly,
check to see if the 3D glasses are powered on or
adequately charged. See the instruction manual of
the 3D glasses for more information.
• There are personal differences in viewing the 3D
images. For persons with myopia, hypermetropia,
astigmatism or left and right sights, please wear
glasses to correct them then wear the 3D glasses.
• The picture seems misplaced at the start of
projecting the 3D images, however, this is not a
malfunction.
• With the 3D option set to On, contents displayed
on the projector appear darker. It is normal and
does not mean the projector is malfunctioning.
