Questions answered in these manuals
What are the conditions that may prevent the remote control from working?
The projector may not respond if there is an object between the IR emitter and receiver, ambient light is too bright, certain fluorescent lights are used, or a strong light source shines into the IR receiver.
How should a new lamp be handled during replacement?
Never touch the new lamp with bare hands, as invisible residue from skin oil may shorten its life; use a cloth or glove instead.
What is the maximum distance allowed between the projector and a grounded electrical outlet?
The projector must be placed within 10 feet of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.
