Using the projector
Operating in a high altitude environment
We recommend that you activate
High Altitude Mode
when your environment is higher than 1500
meters (around 4920 feet) above sea level, or whenever the projector will be used for extended periods
of time (>10 hours) without shutdown.
To activate High Altitude Mode:
1. Press

menu is highlighted.
2. Press to highlight

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 symptoms. However, this is not to state that this
projector can operate under any and all harsh or extreme conditions.
