Safety precautions
WARNING! Read and observe these precautions and all others in this manual to reduce the
risk of injury and equipment damage.
• Do not look directly into the lens when the lamp is on.
• Do not expose the projector to rain or moisture, and do not use it near water.
• Keep paper, plastic, and combustible material at least 0.5 m (2 ft) away from the projector
lens and exhaust vents.
• Do not allow liquid, food, or small objects to get inside the projector. If material gets inside
the projector, contact HP for assistance.
• Do not put anything on top of the projector. Do not place any liquids where they might spill
on the projector.
• Do not block any vents on the projector. Do not place the projector near any source of heat,
such as a radiator or amplifier.
• Use only an approved power cord rated for the voltage and current marked on the product
label. Do not overload any outlet or extension cord. Do not circumvent the grounding prong
on the power cord.
• Route all cables so they are not located where people can step on them or trip on them.
• Place the projector flat on its base on a sturdy surface or on an HP ceiling mount. Do not
stand the projector on its front surface.
• Do not touch the lens with your fingers. See “Cleaning the projector lens” on page 43. Use
a soft, dry cloth to clean the projector case.
• Do not open the projector except as instructed by this manual, and only after allowing the
projector to cool down.
• If the projector is damaged in any way, contact HP for assistance.

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 distances
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 3:4 screen)
projector lens below bottom of screen = C × width of screen (for 4:3 screen)

Connecting power
1. Place the projector on a stable platform located 1 to 10 m (3 to 33 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 1 and the other end to a
grounded electrical outlet 2.
3. Turn on the main disconnect switch
If you want to permanently install the projector on the ceiling or behind the screen, see
“Installing the projector” on page 49.

Setting up the projector 19
Connecting a computer
Requires:
• VGA cable 1
• USB cable 2 (optional)
• Audio cable, mini-phone
The optional USB connection allows you to use the mouse and page up/down features on the
remote control.

See “Showing a computer screen” on page 31.
TIP: If the computer display does not appear on the projector, you might have to press a
combination of keys on the computer to turn on the computer’s VGA output. For example, on
some computers you must press FN+F4 or FN+F5. For instructions, refer to the user
documentation provided with your computer.
TIP: You can connect an external computer monitor to the VGA-out port on the projector. The
monitor displays the signal connected to the VGA-in port—even if the projector is turned off or
showing a different input.
Setting Up20
Connecting a handheld organizer
Not all handhelds come with VGA-out ports. For example, an iPAQ Pocket PC may require a
VGA-out PC Card with 15-pin connector. If necessary, install a VGA-out accessory card into the
organizer.
Requires:
• VGA cable
• VGA-out accessory card 2 (in some cases)
