1. Safety Instructions
Your projector is designed and tested to meet the latest standards for safety of
information technology equipment. However, to ensure safe use of this pro duct, it is
important that you follow the instructions mentioned in this manual and marked on
the product.
Warning
• To pre vent shock, do not open the cabinet. There are no user serviceable
parts inside.
• Please read this user’s manual before you operate your projector. Save
this user’s manual for future reference.
• Do not look straight at the projector lens during operation. The intense
light beam may damage your eyes.
• Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
• Always open the lens shutter or remove the lens cap when the projector
lamp is on.
• In some countries, the line volt ag e is NOT st abl e. This projector i s desi gned to
operate safely within a mains voltage between 100 to 240 volts AC, but could
fail if power cuts or surges of ±10 volts occur. In areas where the mains
voltage may fluctuate or cut out, it is recommended that you connect
your projector through a power stabilizer, surge protector or
uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
• The lamp becomes extremely hot during operation. Allow the projector to cool
for approximately 45 minutes prior to removing the lamp assembly for
replacement.
• Do not operate lamps beyond the rated lamp life. Excessive operation of
lamps beyond the rated life could cause them to break on rare occasions.
• Never replace the lamp assembly or any electronic components unless the
projector is unplugged.
• Do not place this product on an unst able cart, st and, or table. The product may
fall, sustaining serious damage.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassembl e th is app liance. Take it
to a qualified technician when service or repair is required. Incorrect
reassembly can cause malfunction of the projector or electric shock when the
appliance is subsequently used.
• This product is capable of displaying inverted images for ceiling mount
installation. Use the HP L1704A ceiling mount for moun ting the unit and
ensure it is securely installed.
1. Safety Instructions 5
• Do not block the ventilation holes.
- Do not place this unit on a blanket, bedding or any other soft surface.
- Do not cover this unit with a cloth or any other item.
- Do not place inflammables near the projector.
If the ventilation holes are seriously obstructed, overheating inside the unit may
result in damage.
• Do not place this unit in any of the following environ ments.
- Space that is poorly ventilated or confined. Allow at least 50 cm clearance from
walls and free flow of air around the projector.
- Locations where temperatures may become excessively high, such as the inside of
a car with all windows rolled up.
- Locations where excessive humidity, dust, or cigarette smoke may contaminate
optical components, shortening the projector’s life span and darkening the image.
- Locations near fire alarms
- Locations with an ambient temperature above 35°C / 95°F
• Always place the unit on a level, horizontal surface during operation.
• Do not stand the unit on end vertica lly. Doing so may cause the unit to fall over,
causing injury or resulting in damage to the unit.
• Do not step on this unit or place any object s upon it. Besid es probable physical
damage to the unit, doing so may result in accidents and possible injury.

2. Introduction12
Aiming the Remote Control
Infrared (IR) remote control sensors are located on the front and the back of the
projector. The remote con trol must be held at an angl e within 30 degre es of the projection screen or the projector’s IR remote control sensors to functi on correctly. The
distance between the remote control and the sensors should not exceed 6 met ers
(19.5 feet).
6m
Notes on Remote Control Operation:
Make sure that there are no obstacles between the remote control and the IR sensors on the
projector that might obstruct the infra-red beam.
Replacing the Battery in the Remote Control
1. Using a ballpoint pen,
push and hold the battery latch toward the
center, then pull out the
battery holder .
2. Remove the old battery
from the battery holder.
1
2
3. Insert the new battery in
the holder.
4. Push the holder into the
remote control.
Avoid excessive heat and humidity.
There may be danger of an explosion if the battery is incorrectly
replaced. Replace only with the
same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of the used battery according
to the manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Introduction 13
3. Installation
Choosing a Location
Your projector is designed to be installed in t he four installation configurations
shown here. Your room layout or personal preference will dictate which installation
configuration you use.
I. Table front II. Ceiling front
III. Table rear IV. Ceiling rear
For further information on the four configurations, please refer to page 29.
If you place the projector above or below the screen, you have to tilt it down or up to
center the image on the screen, in these situations image distortion will occur. Use
the Keystone function to correct the distortion. See pa ge 22 fo r keystone correctio n.
3. Installation14
Adjusting the Height
The projector is equipped with 1 quick-release adjuster foot and 2 rear adjuster
feet. These adjusters change the image height and projec tion angle. To adjust the
projector,
1. Lift the projector up and
press the adjuster button
to release the adjuster.
The adjuster will drop into
position and be locked. It
can lift the projector by up
to 15 degrees.
2. Screw the rear adjuster
feet to fine tune the horizontal angle.
Press the adjuster button again
to retract the foot.
If the screen and the projector are not perpendicular to each other, the projected image
becomes trapezoidal. To correct this situation, adjust the value of Keystone in the Picture
menu, on the projector control panel or on the remote control.
Screen Size
Place the projector at the required distance from the screen according to the
required picture size (see the table on the next page).

Replacing the Lamp
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always turn the projector off and disconnect the power
cord before changing the lamp.
To reduce the risk of severe burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 45 minutes before
replacing the lamp.
To reduce the risk of injuries to fingers and damage to internal components, use caution when
removing lamp glass that has shattered into sharp pieces.
To reduce the risk of injuries to fingers and/or compromising image quality by touching the
lens, do not touch the empty lamp compartment when the lamp is removed.
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).
1. Turn off the projector.
2. After the power button stops flashing, unplug the power cord from the wall
socket.
3. Turn the projector over. Then loosen the
screws and remove the lamp cover. If the
lamp is hot, avoid burns by waiting for 45
minutes until the lamp has cooled.
The lamp has been in operation for a
long time, and you should have a spare
lamp available. For optimal performance, install a new lamp.
