Projector Placement
18
You can place the projector on almost any flat surface to project an image.
You can also install the projector in a ceiling mount if you want to use it in a
fixed location. An optional ceiling mount is required when suspending the
projector from a ceiling.
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.
• Position the projector within reach of a grounded electrical outlet or
extension cord.
• Place the projector parallel to the screen.
If you cannot install the projector parallel to the screen, correct
a
keystone distortion using the projector controls.
Warning
• You must install a ceiling mount when suspending the projector from a ceiling.
If you do not install the projector correctly, it could fall and cause damage or
injury.
• Do not use adhesives on 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 ceiling mount. This could
cause serious injury to anyone under the ceiling 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
• Do not operate the projector on its side. This may cause the projector to
malfunction.

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 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.

Projector Security Features

You can secure your projector to deter theft or prevent unintended use by
setting up the following security features:
• Password security to prevent people who do not know the password from
using the projector, and prevent changes to the startup screen and other
settings.
This acts as an anti-theft function as the projector cannot be used even if it
is stolen, and you can limit who can use the projector.
• Button lock security to block operation of the projector using the buttons
on the control panel.
This is useful at events or shows when you want to deactivate all buttons
during projection or at schools when you want to limit button operation.
• Security cabling to physically secure the projector in place.

Password Security Types
You can set up the following types of password security using one shared
password:
• Power On Protection password prevents anyone from using the projector
without first entering a password. When plugging the power cord and
turning on the projector at first time, you must enter the correct password.
This also applies to Direct Power On and Auto Power On.
• User's Logo Protection password prevents anyone from changing the
custom screen displayed when the projector turns on, when no signal is
being input, or when you use the A/V Mute feature. The custom screen
discourages theft by identifying the projector's owner.
• Network Protection password prevents anyone from changing the
