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

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

Before you can connect equipment to your projector, you need to remove the cable cover.
