Installation
Installation Precautions
• Place the projector in a well-
ventilated environment.
- To prevent internal overheating,
install the projector in a wellventilated place. Do not place
anything near the projector. That
may block its air vents. If the air
vents are blocked, the internal
temperature of the projector will
increase.
- Do not place the projector on a
carpet or rug. If the projector's
inlet vent is on the bottom, be
careful not to block the vent and
always use the projector on a
solid, level surface.
- Be sure to prevent foreign
objects such as paper debris
from entering the projector.
- Leave an adequate open area
(30 cm or more) around the
projector.
• Do not place the projector in a hot,
cool, or humid environment.
• Do not place the projector in a place
where it will easily attract dust.
- This may result in re.
• Never open any cover on the
projector. There is a high risk of
electric shock.
• The projector is manufactured using
high-precision technology. You may,
however, see tiny black dots and/
or bright colored dots (red, blue or
green) that continuously appear
on the projector screen. This is a
normal result of the manufacturing
process and does not indicate a
malfunction.
• The remote control may not work
in an environment where a lamp
equipped with electronic ballasts
or a three-wavelength fluorescent
lamp is installed. Replace the lamp
with an international standard lamp
for the remote control to work
normally.

Projection Distance per Screen Size
1 Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface, together with the PC or audio/
video source.
2 Place the projector an appropriate distance away from the screen. The distance
between the projector and the screen determines the actual size of the image.
3 Position the projector so that the lens is at a right angle to the screen. If the
projector is not at a right angle, the projected image will look distorted. To
correct the distortion, use the Edge Adjustment function.
