Projector Placement

21
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.
• 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.

Connecting to an HDBaseT Transmitter

To send an HDMI or RS-232C signal over a long distance, you can connect the projector to an optional HDBaseT transmitter using a 100Base-TX network cable (EB-2265U/EB-2165W). This is useful when you want to send a signal to or control the projector from a remote location, such as in a hall or event site, since you can use a network cable up to 100 m in length. To ensure proper data transmission, use a Category 5e STP cable or better. However, operation is not guaranteed for all input/output devices and environments.
• To enable communication from the Ethernet and serial ports on the

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

94
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.
