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.
• Do not subject the projector to physical abuse or misuse such as exposure to smoke,
unusual stresses, or excessive or continuous (24/7) operation.
• Keep paper, plastic, and combustible material at least 0.5 m (2 ft) away from the
projector’s 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 39. 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 4:3 screen)
projector lens below bottom of screen = C × width of screen (for 4:3 screen, with projector sitting level)

A = 1.6 to 2.0
B = 1.2 to 10 m (4 to 33 ft)
C = 0.12

Connecting power
1. Place the projector on a stable platform located 1.2 to 10 m (4 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

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)

Setting up the projector 17
Connecting a video source
Many video devices have more than one type of output port. When you connect the device to
the projector, choose the connection that provides the best picture quality. This list shows video
connections in order with highest picture quality at the top:
• DVI connection (highest quality)
• Component-video connection
• S-video connection
• Composite-video connection
The video and audio cables shown in the following sections are available from HP.
If you want to connect a SCART video device to the projector, you will need a SCART adapter
(available from HP).
Connecting a DVI source
The DVI port is available only on certain models. It supports only DVI digital sources.
Examples: Cable boxes, satellite receivers, and some computers
Requires:
• DVI-D cable
• Audio cable, mini-phone 2 (optional)

Connecting a component-video source with a component-to-VGA cable
Examples: Cable boxes, DVD players, satellite receivers, and audio-video receivers
Requires:
• Component-to-VGA cable
• Audio cable, mini-phone 2 (optional)
TIP: Many DVD players and other high-quality video devices provide component video output
through three RCA connectors (which might be labeled YPbPr or YCbCr). Connect the
component-to-VGA cable to the video device’s RCA connectors and the projector’s VGA-in
port.
If possible, configure the video source to use progressive scan output, such as 480p, 575p,
or 720p. For additional information, refer to the user documentation provided with the video
source.
