Early Warning Software
This plug-in software monitors the status of the display devices and their peripherals within an intranet, and
notifies of abnormality of such equipment and detects the signs of possible abnormality. “Early Warning

this plug-in software, install “Multi Monitoring & Control Software” in the PC to be used. By enabling the early
warning function, it will notify of the approximate time to replace the consumables for the display devices,
to clean each part of the display devices, and to replace the components of the display devices, allowing to
execute maintenance in advance.
The early warning function can be used by registering maximum of 2048 display devices free of charge for
90 days after installing the “Multi Monitoring & Control Software” into a PC. To continuously use after the 90
days, it is necessary to purchase the license of “Early Warning Software” (ET-SWA100 Series) and perform
the activation. Also, depending on the type of license, the number of display devices that can be registered for
monitoring varies. For details, refer to the Operating Instructions of “Multi Monitoring & Control Software”.

Cautions on use
r
To get a good picture quality
In order to view a beautiful image in higher contrast, prepare an appropriate environment. Draw curtains or blinds
over windows and turn off any lights near the screen to prevent outside light or light from indoor lamps from
shining onto the screen.
r
Do not touch the surface of the projection lens with your bare hands.
If the surface of the projection lens becomes dirty from fingerprints or anything else, this will be magnified and
projected onto the screen.
Keep the lens cover supplied with the optional projection lens attached to the lens when you do not use the
projector.
r
LCD panel
The LCD panel is manufactured by a technology with extremely high precision, but there may be missing pixels or
pixels that is constantly illuminated in a rare case. Note that these phenomenon are not malfunction.
Also, a residual image may remain in the image of the LCD panel when a still image is projected for long time, and
in such case, project the test pattern [ALL WHITE] for 1 hour or longer. Note that the residual image may not be
completely erased.
For details of the test pattern, refer to “[TEST PATTERN] menu” (

page 155).
r
Do not move the projector or subject it to vibration or impact while it is operating.
Doing so may shorten the life of internal components or result in malfunctions.
