— ii —
Projector Installation Notice
¾ Place the projector in a horizontal position
The tilt angle of the projector should not exceed 15 degrees, nor should the projector be installed in
any way other than the desktop and ceiling mount, otherwise lamp life could decrease dramatically.
¾ Allow at least 50 cm clearance around the exhaust vent.
Preface
¾ Ensure that the intake vents do not recycle hot air from the exhaust vent.
¾ When operating the projector in an enclosed space, ensure that the surrounding air temperature
within the enclosure does not exceed operating temperature while the projector is running, and the
air intake and exhaust vents are unobstructed.
¾ 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 shut down even if the enclosure temperature is within
the acceptable operating temperature range.
Power Safety
¾ Only use the supplied power cord.
¾ Do not place anything on the power cord. Place the power cord where it will not be in the way of foot
traffic.
¾ Remove the batteries from the remote control when storing or not in use for a prolonged period.

depth of 9 mm (0.35 inch).
The construction of the ceiling mount must be of a suitable shape and strength. The ceiling mount
load capacity must exceed the weight of the installed equipment, and as an additional precaution
be capable of withstanding three times the weight of the equipment (not less than 5.15 kg) over a

1. Avoid using the projector with bright fluorescent lighting turned on. Certain high-frequency fluo-
rescent lights can disrupt remote control operation.
2. Be sure nothing obstructs the path between the remote control and the projector. If the path between the remote control and the projector is obstructed, you can bounce the signal off certain
reflective surfaces such as projector screens.
3. The buttons and keys on the projector have the same functions as the corresponding buttons on
the remote control. This user’s manual describes the functions based on the remote control.

Remote Control Operating Range
The projector receives infrared signals from the remote control. 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 or the buttons on the top of the projector. All
operations can be carried out with the remote control; however, the buttons on the projector are limited in use.
