  • Page 57 • Is the setting-up location well ventilated? Check that the air inlet and air outlet are clear, and that the projector is not positioned against a wall. • Is the air filter blocked with dust? If the air filter is dirty, it should be cleaned.
  • Page 58 Not a problem, but projection will be interrupted automatically to prevent further temperature rise. The usage temperature range of the projector is 5°C–35°C, and the projector should be used in this range. Place the projector in a well-ventilated location where air inlets and air exhaust vent are not blocked.

  • Page 59: When Indicators Do Not Help

    • Is a video signal output from a connected computer or A/ V device? • When using a laptop computer or integrated LCD-type computer, a video signal must be output to the projector. See page 27 A video signal is normally output only to an LCD screen, not externally.
  • Page 60 See page 14 • Is the lens covered with condensation? If you carry the projector from a cold room into a warm room, the lens may become covered with condensation and the image may be blurred. After a short period, the image should return to normal.
  • Page 61 • Has the computer been set for dual display? If dual display has been activated in the Display Properties of the computer's Control Panel, the projector will only project about half of the image on the computer screen. To display the whole of the image on the computer screen, turn off the dual display setting.

    Projector Cleaning, Lens Replacement, Air Inlet Cleaning Clean your projector when it is dirty or image projection is poor. Clean the air inlets every 100 hours in practice. Warning: • The projector cabinet should only be opened by trained service personnel. The projector contains several high voltage components which can cause electric shock.
  • Page 67 Accumulated dust in the air inlets degrades ventilation, increases the interior temperature, and can cause malfunction. To prevent debris from entering the air inlets, always stand the projector upright with the lens upward. Then use a vacuum cleaner or other equipment to suck dust from the inlets.

    Signals output by a computer are output at a certain predetermined (synchronization) frequency. If the frequency of your projector cannot match that frequency, a clear image cannot be obtained. Matching of signal phases (peak offset) is referred to as synchronization (synch).
  • Page 74 Signals output by a computer are output at a certain predetermined frequency. If the frequency of your projector cannot match that frequency, a clear image cannot be obtained. Matching of signal frequencies is referred to as matching tracking. When tracking is not matched, a projected image displays broad vertical bands.
