Follow the instructions in these sections to set up your projector for use.
Projector Connections
Installing Batteries in the Remote Control
Opening the Lens Cover
Projector Placement
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.
Keep these considerations in mind as you select 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.

The distance at which you place the projector from the screen determines the approximate size of the image. The image size increases the farther the projector is from the screen, but can vary depending on the zoom factor, aspect ratio, and other settings.
Use the tables here to determine approximately how far to place the projector from the screen based on the size of the projected image. (Conversion figures may have been rounded up or down.) You can also use the Projection Distance Calculator here (U.S.), here (Canada), or here (Caribbean).

Parent topic: Projector Connections
Connecting to an HDMI Video Source
If your video source has an HDMI port, you can connect it to the projector using an optional HDMI cable. The HDMI connection provides the best image quality.
25
1.Connect the HDMI cable to your video source's HDMI output port.
2.Connect the other end to one of the projector's HDMI ports.
Note: The projector converts the digital audio signal sent from your video source into a mono analog signal for the internal speaker or a stereo analog signal if you are connecting to external speakers.
Note: When an audio/video source that meets the HDMI CEC standard is connected to the projector's HDMI port, you can use the projector's remote control to control certain features of the linked device by pressing the HDMI Link button on the remote control and setting HDMI Link to On.
Note: If you have problems hearing audio through the HDMI connection, make sure the Audio Out Device setting in the Extended menu is set correctly.
Parent topic: Connecting to Video Sources
If you have an MHL-compatible smartphone or tablet, you can connect it to the projector using either an MHL cable or an HDMI cable with a device-compatible MHL adapter. If you have a device with a built-in MHL connector, plug it directly into the HDMI 1/MHL port.
Note: Some connected devices may not charge when using an MHL adapter.
26
1.Connect the MHL cable or adapter to your device's Micro-USB port.
2.If you are using an MHL adapter, connect it to an MHL-compatible HDMI cable.
3.Connect the other end of the cable to the projector's HDMI 1/MHL port.
Note: The projector converts the digital audio signal sent from your video source into a mono analog signal for the internal speaker or a stereo analog signal if you are connecting to external speakers.

Connecting to a Computer for VGA Video
You can connect the projector to your computer using a VGA computer cable.
