Projector Installation Notice

Place the projector in a horizontal position

The tilt angle of the projector should not exceed 15 degrees. In addition, the projector should not be installed in any other way except desktop and ceiling mount positions. Otherwise lamp life could decrease dramatically, and may lead to other unpredictable damage.

15° -15°

Allow at least 50 cm (16.69 inch) clearance around the exhaust vent.

Minimum 500mm		Minimum 500mm		Minimum 500mm
(19.69 inch)		(19.69 inch)		(19.69 inch)



Minimum 100mm (3.94 inch)

Minimum 500mm
		Minimum 300mm
(19.69 inch)		(11.81 inch)

Ensure that the intake vents do not recycle hot air from the exhaust vent.

When operating the projector in an enclosed space, ensure that the surrounding air temperature within the enclosure does not exceed operation temperature while the projector is running, and the air intake and exhaust vents are unobstructed.

All enclosures should pass a certified thermal evaluation to ensure that the projector does not recycle exhaust air, as this may cause the device to shutdown even if the enclosure temperature is with the acceptable operation temperature range.

— iii —

Power Safety

Only use the supplied power cord.

Do not place anything on the power cord. Place the power cord where it will not be in the way of foot traffic.

Remove the batteries from the remote control when storing or not in use for a prolonged period.

Replacing the Lamp

Replacing the lamp can be hazardous if done incorrectly. See Replacing the Projection Lamp on page 43 for clear and safe instructions for this procedure. Before replacing the lamp:

Unplug the power cord.

Allow the lamp to cool for about one hour.

Cleaning the Projector

Unplug the power cord before cleaning. See Cleaning the Projector page 46.

Allow the lamp to cool for about one hour.

Remote Control Operating Range

The remote control uses infrared transmission to control the projector. It is not necessary to point the remote directly at the projector. Provided you are not holding the remote perpendicular to the sides or the rear of the projector, the remote will function well within a radius of about 7 meters (23 feet) and 15 degrees above or below the projector level. If the projector does not respond to the remote control, move a little closer.

Projector and Remote Control Buttons

The projector can be operated using the remote control. All operations can be carried out with the remote control.
