products carrying the mark (left) must be disposed of separately from normal household waste. This in-

cludes projectors and their electrical accessories. When you dispose of such products, please follow the

guidance of your local authority and/or ask the shop where you purchased the product.

After collecting the used products, they are reused and recycled in a proper way. This effort will help us

reduce the wastes as well as the negative impact to the human health and the environment at the mini-

mum level.

The mark on the electrical and electronic products only applies to the current European Union Member

States.

Outside the European Union

If you wish to dispose of used electrical and electronic products outside the European union, please

contact your local authority and ask for the correct method of disposal.

For EU: The crossed-out wheeled bin implies that used batteries should not be put to the general household

waste! There is a separate collection system for used batteries, to allow proper treatment and recycling

in accordance with legislation.

❷ Introduction to the Projector

This section introduces you to your new projector and describes the features and controls.

Features you’ll enjoy:

• QuickPowerOff,DirectPowerOff

The projector can be put away immediately after the projector is powered down. No cool down period is required

after the projector is turned off from the remote control or cabinet control panel.

The projector has a feature called “Direct Power Off”. This feature allows the projector to be turned off (even

when projecting an image) by using the Main Power Switch or disconnecting the AC power supply.

To turn off the AC power supply when the projector is powered on, use a power strip equipped with a switch and

a breaker.

• 0.18W(100-130VAC)/0.26W(200-240VAC)instandbyconditionwithenergysavingtechnology

Selecting [NORMAL] for [STANDBY MODE] from the menu can put the projector in power-saving mode that

consumes only 0.18W(100-130 V AC)/0.26W (200-240 V AC).

• CarbonMeter

This feature will show energy-saving effect in terms of CO

2

emission reduction (kg) when the projector’s [ECO

MODE] is set to [AUTO ECO], [NORMAL], or [ECO].

The amount of CO

2

emission reduction will be displayed in the conﬁrmation message at the time of power-off

and in the INFO of the on-screen menu.

• Lamplifeupto15000hours

Using in Eco Mode (ECO) allows you to prolong the projector’s lamp life up to 15000 hours (up to 10000 hours

in ECO MODE OFF).

• TwoHDMIinputssupportdigitalsignals

The two HDMI inputs provide HDCP compatible digital signals. The HDMI input also supports audio signal.

• IntegratedRJ-45terminalforwirednetworkingcapabilityalongwithwirelessnetworkingcapabilities

An RJ-45 terminal is standard. An optional USB Wireless LAN Unit is required for wireless LAN connection.

• INTELLIGENTCONNECTION

It enables easily to connect your projector to computers or smartphones, on which the application software,

MultiPresenter, has been installed, by inputting PIN code.
