3. Convenient Features ❼ Changing LIGHT MODE/Checking Energy-Saving Effect Using LIGHT MODE [LIGHT MODE] When either [ECO1] or [ECO2] in [LIGHT MODE] is selected, motion noise of the projector is cut down by lowering brightness of its light source. By saving energy consumption, the CO emission from this projector can be reduced. Icon at the bottom LIGHT MODE Description of the menu NORMAL 100% brightness The screen will be brightly lit. ECO1 Brightness will be at about 80%. The cooling fan will also slow down accordingly. Lower power consumption ECO2 Brightness will be at about 50%. The cooling fan will also slow down accordingly.
Page 57 3. Convenient Features NOTE: • The [LIGHT MODE] can be changed by using the menu. Select [SETUP] → [INSTALLATION(1)] → [LIGHT MODE] → [LIGHT MODE]. • The light module hours used can be checked in [USAGE TIME] on the menu. Select [INFO.] → [USAGE TIME]. • After a lapse of 1 minute from when the projector displays a blue, black or logo screen, [LIGHT MODE] will automatically switch to [ECO]. • This projector equips the sensor to detect atmospheric pressure and temperature and the projector controls the power based on the detected values. When the projector is used in high altitude and high temperature, the light source brightness becomes lower regardless of the setting for LIGHT MODE. This is called “Forced ECO MODE”. Please refer the below table for the conditions and output power in Forced ECO MODE. Altitudes Atmospheric temperature 5–25°C 26–30°C 31–35°C 36–40°C (41–77°F) (78–86°F) (87–95°F) (96–104°F) 1600–3000 m 100% (5500–10000 ft) 1200–1600 m 100% (4000–5500 ft) 0–1200 m 100% (0–4000 ft) • When the projector is in the Forced LIGHT MODE, the picture brightness decreases slightly and the TEMP. indicator lights orange. At the same time the Thermometer symbol [ ] is displayed at the bottom of the screen. When the projector comes back to normal temperature, the Forced ECO MODE is cancelled and the [LIGHT MODE] returns to [NORMAL] mode. When the atmospheric pressure sensor detects height over 1200 m, the HIGH symbol [ ] will be displayed at the bottom of the screen.
Page 58: Checking Energy-Saving Effect [Carbon Meter]
3. Convenient Features Checking Energy-Saving Effect [CARBON METER] This feature will show energy-saving effect in terms of CO emission reduction (kg) when the projector’s [LIGHT MODE] is set to either [ECO1] or [ECO2]. This feature is called as [CARBON METER]. There are two messages: [TOTAL CARBON SAVINGS] and [CARBON SAVINGS-SESSION]. The [TOTAL CARBON SAVINGS] message shows the total amount of CO emission reduction from the time of shipment up to now. You can check the information on [USAGE TIME] from [INFO.] of the menu. (→ page 139) The [CARBON SAVINGS-SESSION] message shows the amount of CO emission reduction between the time of changing to LIGHT MODE immediately after the time of power-on and the time of power-off. The [CARBON SAVINGS- SESSION] message will be displayed in the [POWER OFF/ ARE YOU SURE ?] message at the time of power-off. TIP: • The formula shown below is used to calculate the amount of CO emission reduction. Amount of CO emission reduction = (Power consumption in [NORMAL] LIGHT MODE – Power consumption in current setting) × CO conversion factor.* When an energy- saving LIGHT MODE is selected, or the Lens Shutter is used, there will be a further reduction in CO emission. * Calculation for amount of CO emission reduction is based on an OECD publication “CO Emissions from Fuel Combustion, 2008 Edition”. • The [TOTAL CARBON SAVINGS] is calculated based on savings recorded in 15 minutes intervals. • This formula will not apply to the power consumption which is not affected by whether [LIGHT MODE] is turned on or off.

Page 199: If There Is No Picture, Or The Picture Is Not Displayed Correctly
If there is no picture, or the picture is not displayed correctly. • Power on process for the projector and the PC. Be sure to connect the projector and notebook PC while the projector is in standby mode and before turning on the power to the notebook PC. In most cases the output signal from the notebook PC is not turned on unless connected to the projector before being powered up. NOTE: You can check the horizontal frequency of the current signal in the projector’s menu under Information. If it reads “0kHz”, this means there is no signal being output from the computer. (→ page 139 or go to next step) • Enabling the computer’s external display. Displaying an image on the notebook PC’s screen does not necessarily mean it outputs a signal to the projector. When using a PC compatible laptop, a combination of function keys will enable/disable the external display. Usu- ally, the combination of the “Fn” key along with one of the 12 function keys gets the external display to come on or off. For example, NEC laptops use Fn + F3, while Dell laptops use Fn + F8 key combinations to toggle through external display selections. • Non-standard signal output from the computer If the output signal from a notebook PC is not an industry standard, the projected image may not be displayed correctly. Should this happen, deactivate the notebook PC’s LCD screen when the projector display is in use. Each notebook PC has a different way of deactivate/reactivate the local LCD screens as described in the previous step. Refer to your computer’s documentation for detailed information. • Image displayed is incorrect when using a Mac When using a Mac with the projector, set the DIPswitch of the Mac adapter (not supplied with the projector) ac- cording to your resolution. After setting, restart your Mac for the changes to take affect. For setting display modes other than those supported by your Mac and the projector, changing the DIP switch on a Mac adapter may bounce an image slightly or may display nothing. Should this happen, set the DIP switch to the 13" fixed mode and then restart your Mac. After that, restore the DIP switches to a displayable mode and then...
