Setting Up the Projector

Follow the instructions in these sections to set up your projector for use.
Projector Placement 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 your presentation. 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 6feet (2 m) of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.

If your computer presentation includes sound and you did not connect it using the projector's USB TypeB or HDMI port, you can still play sound through the projector's speaker system. Just connect an optional 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack audio cable as described here.
1. Connect the audio cable to your laptop's headphone or audio-out jack, or your desktop's speaker or audio-out port.
2. Connect the other end to the Audio port that corresponds to the Computer port you are using.
1 Audio1 or Audio2 port
