Hiding the image

In order to draw the audience's full attention to the presenter, you can use 

ECO BLANK

 

on the projector or remote control to hide the screen image. When this function is 

activated with an audio input connected, the audio can still be heard. 

You can set the blank time in the 

SYSTEM SETUP: Basic > Operation Settings > 

Blank Timer

 

menu

 

to let the projector return the image automatically after a period of 

time when there is no action taken on the blank screen.

If the preset time spans are not suitable for your presentation, select 

Disable

.

No matter 

Blank Timer

 is activated or not, you can press most of the keys on the 

projector or remote control to restore the picture.

Do not block the projection lens from projecting as this could cause the blocking object to become heated and 

deformed or even cause a fire.

Locking control keys

With the control keys on the projector locked, you can prevent your projector settings 

from being changed accidentally (by children, for example). When the 

Panel Key Lock

 is 

on, no control keys on the projector will operate except 

 POWER

• 

Keys on the remote control are still active when panel key lock is enabled.

Operating in a high altitude environment

We recommend you use the 

High Altitude Mode

 when your environment is between 

1500 m –3000 m above sea level, and ambient temperature is between 0°C–30°C.

Do not use the 

High Altitude Mode

 if your altitude is between 0 m and 1500 m and ambient temperature is 

between 0°C and 35°C. The projector will be over cooled, if you turn the mode on under such a condition.

To activate the 

High Altitude Mode

:

Press 

MENU/EXIT

 and then press  /  until the 

SYSTEM SETUP: Advanced

 

menu is highlighted.

2.

Press  

to 

highlight 

High Altitude Mode

 and press

 select 

On

. A 

confirmation message appears.

3.

Highlight 

Yes

 and press 

MODE/ENTER

.

Operation under "

High Altitude Mode

" may cause a higher decibel operating noise level 

because of increased fan speed necessary to improve overall system cooling and 

performance.

If you use this projector under other extreme conditions excluding the above, it may 

display auto shut-down symptoms, which is designed to protect your projector from over-

heating. In cases like this, you should switch to High Altitude mode to solve these
