Antitheft Alarm Function
How to Use the Antitheft Alarm Function
Antitheft alarm function is provided to prevent the projector from being stolen. When this function is set to
“On,” the alarm rings as an unauthorized person tries to move the projector.
To activate the Alarm function for the first time after purchase, you must turn on the power once.
✔Note:
•This function is not a guarantee against stealing.
•The alarm does not ring while the AC power cord is connected to an outlet even if the projector detects
vibrations.
•The alarm will stop, as the AC power cord is connected to an outlet, except when the battery cover is open.
•Pressing the buttons is always accompanied by a sound. If no sound is produced after pressing a button, you
need to press it again.
The Alarm function is operated by a built-in rechargeable
battery. The alarm will not work properly if the battery is not
charged enough. See page 57 for details.

Set and release the Antitheft alarm function


The Alarm setting and release and PIN Code change can be
made without an AC power connection.

Set the alarm Indicator


Press the F button three times to turn the alarm function
on. The ALARM indicator blinks for a few seconds and the
projector enters the warning mode. (If the battery is not
charged enough for the alarm function to operate normally,
it bleeps and the Alarm indicator will blink red every 20
seconds.)
ALARM indicator
During the Antitheft alarm function is on, the projector emits
a low-pitched sound when it detects vibration. Terminal
When the projector does not detect vibration for a few
seconds after the sound, it goes back to the warning mode.
When the projector detects more vibrations after the low-
pitched sound, the alarm starts ringing.

The Alarm operating configuration (Battery charge, Alarm


volume, Sensitivity, and Ringing time) can be selected in the
menu. See page 56.
✔Note: F button Button 1, 2, 3

the AC power cord to an outlet or press the F button and
enter the four-digit PIN code number.
Release the alarm setting
Press the F button and enter the four-digit PIN code number
within about 10 seconds. (The default PIN code is set to
“1111.”) When the alarm is released, you will hear a high-

SAFETY Precautions for SANYO Ni-MH BATTERY PACK


Observe the following precautions when handling the built-in battery pack of the projector:
● MAKE SURE THAT THE BATTERY PACK IS INSTALLED IN THE PROJECTOR WHEN RECHARGING.
USING THE CHARGERS OTHER THAN THE PROJECTOR MAY CAUSE EXPLOSION OR A FIRE.
● The rechargeable battery pack is for use exclusively with this projector. Do not use in other products or
this may cause accident.
● Do not throw the battery into fire or heat it. Doing so may cause an explosion or fire.
● Never attempt to disassemble, modify, reconstruct, or solder lead wires directly on to the battery.
● Do not drop or subject to strong forces. Doing so may cause the battery to leak fluid or explode.
● Do not expose to direct sunlight or high temperatures. This may degrade battery performance or cause
leakage.
● Avoid contact with water or liquid. Exposure to water or liquid could result in battery corrosion or
damage.
● Keep out of reach of children. They may accidentally swallow the battery.
● Do not short-circuit battery terminals with metal objects. Do not store with metal objects or in a metal
case.
● The rechargeable battery pack has a limited number of charge cycles and eventually need to be
replaced. If it can no longer be recharged, stop charging immediately and replace it with new one.
● Recharge the battery in a place where the temperature is always between 32˚F to 104˚F (0˚C to 40˚C).
Charging in the temperature out of this range may result in fluid leak, heat generation, or shortening
battery life.
● If you do not use the projector or the Antitheft alarm function for a long period of time, remove the
battery from the projector and store it in a place where the temperature is always between –4˚F to 86˚F
(–20˚C to 30˚C).
● If a battery leaks and fluid comes in contact with skin, this may cause skin irritation. Flush the affected
area thoroughly with water.
● If a battery leaks and fluid gets in contact with eyes, wash your eyes with water immediately and seek
medical attention.
● Dispose of used batteries according to your local disposal rule and guidelines.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Warning Indicator
The WARNING indicator shows the state of the function which protects the projector. Check the state of the
WARNING indicator and the POWER indicator to take proper maintenance.

The projector is shut down and the WARNING


indicator is blinking red. Indicators
WARNING
When the temperature inside the projector reaches a blinking red
certain level, the projector is automatically shut down to
avoid overheating. The POWER indicator is blinking while
the projector is being cooled down. When the projector has
cooled down enough (to its normal operating temperature),
it can be turned on again by pressing the ON/STAND-BY
button.
✔Note:
•The WARNING indicator continues to blink even after the
temperature inside the projector returns to normal. When
the projector is turned on again, the WARNING indicator
stops blinking.

Then check the matters below:


–  Did you provide appropriate space for the projector to
be ventilated? Check the installing condition to see if
ventilation slots are not blocked.
–  Has the projector been installed near an Air-Conditioning/
Heating Duct or Vent? Move the installation of the
projector away from the duct or vent.
–  Are the air filters clean? Clean the air filters periodically.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Cleaning the Air Filter


The air filter prevents dust from accumulating on the surface of the optical elements inside the projector. Should
the air filter become clogged with dust particles, it will reduce cooling fans’ effectiveness and may result in a
buildup of internal heat and adversely affects the life of the projector. Clean the air filter by following the steps
below.

1 Turn off the projector, and unplug the AC power cord


from the AC outlet.

2 Turn over the projector and remove the air filter by


pulling the latches upward.

3 Clean up the dust on the projector and around the air


vents.

4 Gently clean the filter by using a brush or blower.

WARNING: Do not wash the filter with water and

projection window surface. Use a cleaning paper moistened
with methyl alcohol (methanol). Avoid excessive use of
cleaner.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or other harsh
chemical cleaners to avoid damaging the projection window.

Cleaning the Projector Cabinet


Unplug the AC power cord before cleaning.

Gently wipe the projector body with a soft dry cleaning


cloth. When it is heavily soiled, use a small amount of
mild detergent and finish with the cleaning cloth. Avoid
excessive use of cleaner. Abrasive cleaners, solvents, or
other harsh chemicals might scratch the surface of the

LAMP HANDLING PRECAUTIONS


This projector uses a high-pressure lamp which must be handled carefully and properly. Improper handling
may result in accidents, injury, or create a fire hazard.

●Lamp life may differ from lamp to lamp and according to the environment of use. There is no guarantee
of the same life for each lamp. Some lamps may fail or terminate their life in a shorter period of time
than other similar lamps.

●If the projector indicates that the lamp should be replaced, i.e., if the LAMP REPLACE indicator lights
up, replace the lamp with a new one IMMEDIATELY after the projector has cooled down.
 (Follow carefully the instructions in the Lamp Replacement section of this manual.) Continuous use of
the lamp with the LAMP REPLACE indicator lighted may increase the risk of lamp explosion.

●A Lamp may explode as a result of vibration, shock, or degradation as a result of hours of use, as it
comes to the end of life. Risk of explosion may differ according to the environment or conditions in
which the projector and lamp are being used.

IF A LAMP EXPLODES, THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN.


If a lamp explodes, disconnect the projector’s AC plug from the AC outlet immediately. Contact an
authorized service station for a checkup of the unit and replacement of the lamp. Additionally, check
carefully to ensure that there are no broken shards or pieces of glass around the projector or coming out
from the cooling air circulation holes. Any broken shards found should be cleaned up carefully. No one
should check the inside of the projector except those who are authorized trained technicians and who
are familiar with projector service. Inappropriate attempts to service the unit by anyone, especially those
who are not appropriately trained to do so, may result in an accident or injury caused by pieces of broken
glass.
