Setting Up the Projector
Follow the instructions in these sections to set up your projector for use.
Projector Placement
Removing and Attaching the Cable Cover
Projector Connections
Installing Batteries in the Remote Control
Projector Placement
Your ultra-short throw projector is designed to be installed on a wall (with a wall mount).
You can also place the projector on a flat surface such as a desk or table to project in a portable setup.
Keep these considerations in mind as you select a projector location:
• Follow the instructions in the Installation Guide provided with your mounting hardware to install the
projector using the included mounting equipment.
• 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.
• If the projector is not mounted, place it on a sturdy, level surface.

Mounted on the wall or ceiling
Mounted on the wall or ceiling and projecting from behind a translucent screen
Front projection from a table or portable cart
29
Rear projection from a table or portable cart behind a translucent screen
Wherever you set up the projector, make sure to position it squarely in front of the screen, not at an

option in the projector's menu system.

Projection Distance
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.
Refer to the tables in the Installation Guide included with your mount 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) .

Removing and Attaching the Cable Cover
