Setting Up the Projector

Follow the instructions in these sections to set up your projector for use.

Projector Placement
Removing and Attaching the Cable Cover
Projector Connections
Installing Batteries in the Remote Control
Installing Batteries in the Pens

Projector Placement

Your ultra-short throw projector is designed to be installed on a wall (with a wall mount) or vertically on a
table (with a table mount) to create an interactive tabletop workspace.

You can also place the projector on a flat surface such as a desk or table to project in a portable setup.

Note: A Touch Unit is optional for the BrightLink 1480Fi and must be installed for finger touch operation.
Finger touch operation is available only if the projector is installed on a wall (with a wall mount) and
projecting from the front of the wall, or vertically on a table (with a table mount) and projecting from the
top of the table.

Keep these considerations in mind as you select a projector location:

• Follow the instructions in the online Installation Guide to install the projector.

• Leave plenty of space around and under the projector for ventilation, and do not place it on top of or
next to anything that could block the vents.

• If you are using the projector at altitudes above (1500 m), set the High Altitude Mode setting to On in
the projector's Installation menu to ensure the projector's internal temperature is regulated properly.

• Position the projector within reach of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.

• If installing vertically on a table, a commercially available mount compatible with the VESA Mounting
Interface Standard (100 x 100 mm) is required.

• If installing on a wall, the wall mount (V12HA06A05) is required.

• If the projector is not mounted, place it on a sturdy, level surface.

• For finger touch, make sure the projection surface is flat, smooth, and unwarped with no more than

0.2 inch (5 mm) of unevenness in any direction.

35

• Place the projector so it squarely faces the screen, not at an angle. If you cannot install the projector
squarely facing the screen, correct any resulting image distortion using the projector controls.

• Try not to set up the projector in locations subject to high humidity and dust, or in locations subject to
smoke from fires or tobacco smoke.

Parent topic: Projector Placement

Projection Distance

The distance at which you place the projector from the screen determines the approximate size of the
image. The image size increases the farther the projector is from the screen, but can vary depending on
the zoom factor, aspect ratio, and other settings.

Refer to the tables in the online Installation Guide to determine approximately how far to place the
projector from the screen based on the size of the projected image. (Conversion figures may have been
rounded up or down.) You can also use the Projection Distance Calculator here (U.S.), here (Canada),
or here (Caribbean).
