Installation Precautions

Place the projector in a well-ventilated
y
environment.
- To prevent internal heat build-up, install the projector in a well­ventilated place. Do not place anything near the projector as this may block its air vents. If the air vents are blocked, the internal temperature will increase.
- Do not place the projector on a carpet or rug. If the vent is on the bottom, use the projector on a solid level surface not blocked.
- Be sure to prevent foreign objects such as paper debris from entering the projector.
and ensure the vent
is
Do not place the projector in a hot
y
or humid environment.
- Do not place the projector in a hot, cold, or humid environment.
Do not place the projector in a place
y
where it will easily attract dust.
- This may result in fire.
Never open any cover on the
y
projector. There is a high risk of electric shock. The projector is manufactured using
y
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
y
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.
- Leave enough distance (30 cm or
more) around the projector.

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 Keystone function. (see page 23)
