Setting Up
If you do not want to use the distance table, you can use the following equations to
help determine where to install the projector relative to the screen.
Calculating projection dimensions
distance from lens to screen = A × width of screen
minimum and maximum distance from screen = B
width of screen = 0.8 × diagonal of screen (for 4:3 screen)
projector lens below bottom of screen = C × width of screen (for 4:3 screen)
A = 1.67 to 2.00
B = 1.2 to 12 m (4 to 40 ft)
C = 0.21 to 0.45

Setting Up
To set up on a table
1. Place the projector on a stable platform located 1.2 to 12 m (4 to 40 ft) in front of
the screen. Ideally, the platform should be lower than the bottom of the screen.
2. Connect one end of the power cord to the back of the projector and the other end
to an electrical outlet.
3. When you first turn on the projector, set it to match the installation, if necessary.
Open the on-screen menu and select Setup > Projector position. Then choose
Front Table from the drop-down list—this is the default setting.
If you want to permanently install the projector on the ceiling or behind the screen, see
“Installing the Projector” on page 53.

If this method does not work, use the following method:
■ Wipe the lens in a single direction with a clean, dry cloth. Do not wipe back and
forth across the lens.
If the cloth is dirty or smears the lens, wash the cloth. If the cloth is still dirty after

Maintaining the Projector
CAUTION: Cleaning requires special consideration:
Ä
■ Do not spray any type of fluid or cleaner directly on the lens surface. Cleaners
might damage the lens.
■ Do not use fabric softener when washing a cleaning cloth or softener sheets
when drying the cloth. Chemicals on the cloth might damage the surface of the
lens.
■ Do not store a cleaning cloth in contact with the lens for a long time because
doing so contaminates the lens with dye from the cloth. The cloth can be
contaminated if left in the open air.
To replace the lamp module
WARNING: Replacing the lamp module requires special consideration:
Å
■ When the lamp nears its end of life, it might break. To reduce the risk of injury,
be careful when removing the lamp module as broken glass might be present.
For a ceiling installation, wear goggles and gloves when removing the lamp
module. If the lamp is broken, contact HP about repairs that might be required.
■ Because the lamp assembly operates at a very high temperature, wait 30
minutes before removing the lamp module.
1. Turn off the projector and allow it to cool for 30 minutes.
2. Slide the latch upward on the front of the projector.

Fixing Problems
❏ If the lamp indicator blinks, the lamp is not able to light. Wait for
the projector to cool, then try starting it again. If the indicator
blinks again, install a new lamp.
❏ If the temperature indicator turns on or blinks, the projector is too
hot. See the following problem.
If the projector suddenly shuts down and the temperature light turns on:
❏ If the temperature light is blinking, the fan is not working. Allow
the projector to cool for several minutes.
❏ If the temperature light is steady, the projector has overheated.
Allow it to cool for several minutes.
❏ If airflow is obstructed, remove the obstruction.
❏ If possible, remove any sources of excess heat in the room.
