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 = 2.0 to 2.4
B = 1.2 to 12 m (4 to 40 ft)
C = 0.11 to 0.42
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 side of the projector and the other end to
an electrical outlet.
3. When you first turn on the projector, if the image is upside-down or backward,
you should change a menu setting. Open the on-screen menu (see “To change
settings using the on-screen menu” on page 37) 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 49.

particles off the lens with clean, dry, deionized air.
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
washing it or the fabric is damaged, replace it.
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
■ To reduce the risk of injury, be careful when removing the lamp module as
broken glass might be present in the unlikely event the lamp is broken. If the
lamp is broken, contact HP about repairs that might be required.
■ The lamp contains a small amount of mercury. If the lamp breaks, adequately
ventilate the area where the breakage occurred. Disposal of this lamp might be
regulated due to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling
information, contact your local authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance
(http://www.eiae.org).
■ Because the lamp assembly operates at a very high temperature, wait
30 minutes before removing the lamp module.

To install on the ceiling
WARNING: To minimize the risk of injury from improperly installed equipment, it
Å
is recommended that a professional installer performs the ceiling installation.
The actual projector and mounting plate differ from those shown below, but the steps
✎
are the same.
1. Attach the mounting plate to the bottom of the projector. The pointed part of the
hole in the bracket faces the back of the projector. See the instructions that came
with the ceiling mount.
2. Attach the ceiling-mount bracket to the ceiling, and firmly secure with three or
four screws capable of holding 9 kg (20 lb). The ceiling-mount bracket must be
located 1.2 to 12 m (4 to 40 ft) in front of the screen. See the table in “Setting Up
the Projector” on page 15.
50User’s Guide
Installing Permanently
3. With the projector lens aiming away from the screen, insert the mounting plate
onto the bracket so the tabs engage, then pivot the projector so it aims forward.
Tighten the rear thumbscrew fully, then tighten the two other thumbscrews.
4. Adjust the on-screen menu to match your settings. Open the on-screen menu and
select Setup > Projector position. Then select Front Ceiling from the
drop-down list.
User’s Guide51
Installing Permanently
If you do not use an HP ceiling mount, mount the projector according to the following
dimensions:
■ X = 82 mm (3.23 in.)
■ Y = 55 mm (2.17 in.)
■ Z = 110 mm (4.33 in.)
■ Thread size = M3
To install for rear projection
1. Place the projector 1.2 to 12 m (4 to 40 ft) behind a translucent screen that is
designed for rear projection.
See “To set up on a table” on page 17 or “To install on the ceiling” on page 50 for
more instructions.
2. Open the on-screen menu and select Setup > Projector position. Then select Rear Table or Rear Ceiling from the drop-down list.
52User’s Guide
Installing Permanently
To mount the projector on a tripod
The projector includes standard tripod mount on the bottom of the projector. This
allows the projector to be mounted on tripods readily available at camera and other
electronic stores.
CAUTION:
Ä
■ The tripod should be capable of supporting a weight of at least 5 lb. Refer to the
owner’s manual that came with your tripod for more information.
■ Do not overtighten the tripod mount screw. Doing so could strip the screw and
cause the projector to fall off the tripod.
To lock the projector
The projector includes a built-in slot to secure the projector with a cable and a lock
(such as the Kensington MicroSaver lock system, available at many computer stores).
1. Wrap the cable around a secure object, such as a table leg. Loop the cable to create
a slip knot around the stationary object, and be sure it cannot slip off.
2. Insert the lock
1 into the hole and twist the key 2.
