Warning

A special method of installation is required when suspending the projector from a wall or ceiling. If it is not installed correctly, it could fall causing an accident and injury.

If you use adhesives on the wall mount plate fixing points or the ceiling mount fixing points to prevent the screws from loosening, or if you use things such as lubricants or oils 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.

When installing or adjusting the mount, do not use adhesives to prevent the screws from loosening and do not use lubricant or oil and so on.

Attention

Do not use the projector on its side. This may cause malfunctions to occur.

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

aWhen installing the projector on a wall or on the ceiling, make sure you use the correct tools for the installation method.

s "Optional Accessories" p.118

You can change the setting as follows by pressing down the [A/V Mute] button on the remote control for about five seconds.
