Compliance with EU Directive RoHS1 Reduction of resin usage in production
Use of hot runners in molds for making upper housing in order to reduce mill
ends.
1 RoHS is the acronym of “Directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2011 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment”.
-Design and specifications are subject to change without notice.
· The projected images and comparison photos in this catalog are simulations.
· LCD panels, polarizers and other optical components and cooling fans may
need replacement after prolonged usage. For more details, please consult a
sales representative. · Do not use in places where there is a lot of water,
dampness, steam, dust, soot or tobacco smoke. This may result in fire or
malfunction. · Optical components (lamp, LCD panel, polarizing plate, PBS
[polarizer beam splitter]) have limited service lives. They must be repaired
or replaced if they are used for a long period of time. · These projectors use
a mercury lamp with high internal pressure. Because of its properties, this
lamp may burst with a loud noise or burn out if struck or after it has been
used for a period of time. The time until it bursts or burns out varies
greatly according to differences between lamps and usage conditions. Turning
the lamp’ s power on and off frequently shortens its service life.
· Optical components other than the lamp: If the projector is used for six
hours or more per day, they may need to be replaced in less than a year. · LCD
panel: If the projector is used continuously for six hours or more, its
replacement cycle may be shortened. · Do not turn projector on again for ten
minutes after shutdown. Neglect can shorten the lifetime or the lamp. During
use and immediately after use, do not touch anywhere near the lamp and the
vents as these parts are extremely hot. · Each product may have differences of
color, brightness and focus due to manufacture variation. · Windows®, Internet

HDCR (High Dynamic Contrast Range)
When average projectors are used in bright rooms, the darker colors of an image deteriorate and images become unclear. Using this function, blurred images caused by room lighting or outside light sources are corrected, and an effect similar to increasing contrast occurs. This results in clear images even in bright rooms.

DICOM® Simulation Mode
The DICOM® (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) Simulation Mode
projects grayscale images which approximate DICOM® Part 14 specifications.
This mode is ideal for viewing grayscale medical images, such as X-rays, for
training and educational purposes.
The projectors have a DICOM® (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine)
Simulation Mode. This mode simulates the DICOM® standard, which is a standard
applicable to digital communications in medicine, and is useful for displaying
medical images such as X-rays. These projectors are not medical devices and
are not compliant with the DICOM® standard, and neither the projector nor the
DICOM® Simulation Mode should be used for medical diagnosis. * Comparison

Reduced Glare and Shadows
These projectors feature Ultra Short Throw, for projecting a 2m (80inches)
image from only 54.9cm (21.6inches)*1 onto a wall or screen. Ultra Short Throw
greatly reduces glare from the projector’ s light source, making it easier for
the teacher or presenter to see the audience. The audience also has a clearer
view because the shadows of the teacher’s or presenter’s hands and body are
little cast on the projection image. The result is a better classroom or
meeting room experience for everyone.

Saver Mode
This feature developed by Maxell reduces the projector lamp brightness and
consumption power, resulting in considerable energy savings. Set the Saver
mode time from 1 to 30 minutes, and if the projected image does not change in
that time, Saver mode activates. Saver mode can also be activated manually.
During a presentation using the screen.
Darken the screen with the remote control while the presenter speaks.
The screen automatically turns dark when not in use during group discussions.
Intelligent Eco Mode
This feature developed by Maxell automatically changes the brightness of the
lamp according to the level of the input signal. Lamp brightness is reduced
when a darker image is projected, and returns to normal when a brighter image
is projected, eliminating unnecessary energy consumption from the lamp.
High Reliability and Stability
Easy Maintenance
The lamp door and the filter cover are located on the top and the side,
facilitating maintenance and replacement even when the projector is installed
on the ceiling.
Hybrid Filter
The hybrid filter is composed of an unwoven cloth and a static electrode
filter, protecting the optics from dust, dirt, and chalk particles. The filter
can last up to 4,000 hours*1 without cleaning.
This is an estimate of the acceleration test performed under the condition of
50mg/m³ suspension dust concentration using JIS (Japanese Industrial
Standards) standard powder. Cleaning intervals varydepending on the
useenvironment.
3LCD chips with Inorganic Alignment Layers
These Maxell 3LCD projectors incorporate three LCD panels with inorganic
alignment layers that are light resistant, increasing brightness and contrast
ratio. They provide smooth images and high reliability.
