· The batteries should be replaced approximately once every three months when used for

thirty minutes per day.

14 - Parts, Names and Operations

Installation Procedure

Determines the projection angle and projection distance to ensure the most suitable screen display.

Caution

· Do not block the ventilation outlet at the back of the projector or the air filter (suction inlet) on the rear panel.

· There are cases where material or paper get sucked onto the air filter on the rear panel when the projector is in use, so attention must be paid to prevent this.

· Do not place the projector in a location where it is subject to the direct air flow from air conditioners or heaters.

· When the projector is to be placed near a wall, ensure that there is at least 20cm of space between the wall and the projector.

· Do not cover the projector with table cloths or other material.

Installation Example

The projector may be installed in locations that conform to the installation conditions and projection methods.

Viewing projected images from the front

Viewing projected images from the front with a ceiling suspended projector

Use the optional ceiling suspension unit and set the ceiling suspension parameter to [ON]. (see page 61)

Viewing images projected onto half-transparent screens from the rear

· Set the rear parameter to [ON]. (see page 61)

· Ceiling suspension is also possible with the use of the optional ceiling suspension unit.

Installation Procedure - 15

Screen Size and Projection Distance

Determines the distance that the screen must be from the lens in order to obtain the required screen size. The projector’s standard lens is approximately a 1.3x zoom lens and the largest screen size is about 1.3 times the size of the smallest screen. Using the following table for reference purposes, install the projector so that the screen size is smaller than the screen.

· The projection distances listed above are the distances when the standard lens is in use. If optional lenses are to be used, refer to the relevant instruction manuals for further details.

· The screen size will become smaller when the trapezoid correction function is used.

16 - Installation Procedure

Projection Angles

Placing the projector with the center of the lens at an exact right-angle to the screen will provide optimal screen projection. Pay attention to the angle of projection when placing the projector inposition.

Installation Procedure - 17

Connecting the projector to a computer

Switch off the power supply to the projector and computer before attempting to make the connection.

Eligible Computers

There are computers with which connections cannot be established and computers that cannot be used for projection purposes even though a connection has been established. First of all, it is necessary to confirm that a connection can be established with the computer in use.

● Conditions for eligible computers

Condition #1: The computer must be fitted with an image signal output port

Check to ascertain that the computer is fitted with ports that will output image signals, such as the "RGB Port", the "Monitor Port" and the "Video Port". If you have trouble confirming this, refer to chapter on external monitor connections in the computer’s instruction manual. There are computers, such as combined computer/monitor models and laptop models, that do not allow connections or for which optional external output ports must be purchased.

Point

Depending on the computer, there are cases when it is necessary to switch the image signal output with the connection key ( , etc.,) and the settings.

sound to be set to mirroring after rebooting.

Condition #2: The resolution and frequency of the computer must be within the boundaries listed in the chart on the next page.

Projection will not be possible if the computer does not support the output image signal resolutions and frequencies shown in the chart on the next page (there are cases where projection is possible, but vivid projection will not be possible). Confirm the image signal resolution and frequency with the computer’s instruction manual. There are also computers available that allow the output resolution to be amended. In this case, amend the parameters to fit within the ranges shown in the chart on the next page.
