Installation Precautions

ENGLISH

• 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 keystone function. (See page 34.)

4 Connect the power cord of the projector and the connected device to the wall
