Projector Placement

You can install the projector on a wall, or place it on a table to project images.

You need the optional mounts when suspending the projector from a ceiling, installing it on a wall, or placing it vertically on a table.

Note the following points when selecting a projector location:

• Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface or install it using a compatible mount.

• 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.

• Place the projector parallel to the screen.

If you cannot install the projector parallel to the screen, correct

keystone distortion using the projector controls.

Warning

• A special method of installation is required when suspending the projector from a wall or ceiling. If you do not install the projector correctly, it could fall and cause damage or injury.

• Do not use adhesives on the wall mount plate fixing points or the ceiling mount fixing points to prevent the screws from loosening, or use lubricants, oils, or similar substances on the projector; the projector case may crack causing it to fall from its mount. This could cause serious injury to anyone under the mount and could damage the projector.

• Do not cover the projector's air intake or air exhaust vents. If the vents are covered, the internal temperature could rise and cause a fire.

• Do not install the projector on an unstable surface or in a location beyond the weight specifications of the projector. Otherwise, it could fall or topple causing an accident and injury.

• When installing the projector in a high position, take measures to prevent falling by using wires to ensure safety in an emergency, such as an earthquake, and to prevent accidents. If it is not installed correctly, it could fall causing an accident and injury.

Attention

• If you are using the projector at altitudes above 1500 m, set the High Altitude Mode setting to On in the projector's Extended menu to ensure the projector's

internal temperature is regulated properly. s Extended > Operation > High Altitude Mode

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

Attention

The interactive features are operated using infrared communication. Note the following points when installing the projector.

• Do not install the projector tilted at an angle of 3˚ or more. The interactive features may not operate correctly.

• Make sure there is no strong light or sunlight shining on the interactive pen receiver, the projection screen, the projector itself, or the rear of the projector.

• Do not install the projector where it could be subjected to direct sunlight through a window. This could cause the interactive features to malfunction.

• Install the projector so that the interactive pen receiver is not too close to fluorescent lights. If the surrounding area is too bright, the interactive features may not operate correctly.

• If there is any dust stuck to the interactive pen receiver, it could interfere with infrared communication and the interactive features may not operate correctly. Clean the receiver if it is dirty.

• Do not put paint or any stickers on the cover of the interactive pen receiver.

• When using the interactive features, do not use an infrared remote control or microphone in the same room. The interactive pen could malfunction.

• Do not use devices that generate powerful noise, such as rotary devices or transformers, near the projector, as the interactive features may not operate correctly.

Make sure you select the correct Projection option in the projector's Extended menu according to the installation method being used.

Turning On the Projector

Warning

• Never look into the projector lens when the lamp is on. This can damage your eyes and is especially dangerous for children.

• When turning on the projector at a distance using the remote control, make sure there is no one looking into the lens.

• During projection, do not block the light from the projector with a book or other objects. If the light from the projector is blocked, the area on which the light shines becomes hot which could cause it to melt, burn, or start a fire. Also, the lens may get hot due to the reflected light which could cause the projector to malfunction. To stop projection, use the A/V Mute function, or turn off the projector.

• A mercury lamp with high internal pressure is used as the projector's light source. If the lamp is subjected to vibrations or shocks, or if it is used for an overly extended length of time, the lamp may break or it may not turn on. If the lamp explodes, gases may escape and small fragments of glass may be scattered which could cause an injury. Be sure to observe the instructions below.

• Do not disassemble or damage the lamp or subject it to any impacts.

• Do not bring your face close to the projector while it is in use.

• Particular care should be taken when the projector is installed to a wall or

ceiling, as small pieces of glass may fall down when the lamp cover is removed. When cleaning the projector or replacing the lamp yourself, be very careful not to allow such pieces of glass to get into the eyes or mouth.

If the lamp breaks, ventilate the area immediately, and contact a doctor if any fragments of broken glass are inhaled or get into the eyes or mouth.
