EN-10
Setting up your projector
Before setting up
Before setting up the projector, check the operating environment.
If the environmental requirements are not satisfied, the projector may break down or fail.
Setup environment
The allowable operating temperature varies depending on the projection angle.
For floor installation (projection angle 0°) and ceiling installation (projection angle 180°): +41°F (+5°C) to +104°F (+40°C) For installation at other angles: +41°F (+5°C) to +95°F (+35°C) For use in the HIGH ALTITUDE mode (see page 13), the allowable operating temperature is +41°F (+5°C) to +95°F (+35°C), which allows floor installation or ceiling installation only.
Setting up the screen
Install the screen perpendicularly to the projector. If the screen can not be installed in such a way, adjust the projection angle of the projector. (See page 14.)
•Install the screen and projector so that the projector’s lens is placed at the same height and horizontal position of the screen center.
•Do not install the screen where it is exposed to direct sunlight or lighting. Light directly reflecting on the screen makes the projected images whitish and hard to view.
Screen size and projection distance
Refer to the following table to determine the screen size and projection distance.
