SAFETY
RG2
The lightning ash with arrow head within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous
voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufcient
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert
the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance
(servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
Please follow all warnings, precautions and maintenance as recommended in this user's guide.
Important Safety Instruction
Do not stare into the beam, RG2.
As with any bright source, do not stare into the direct beam, RG2 IEC 62471-5:2015.
Do not block any ventilation openings. To ensure reliable operation of the projector and to protect from
over heating, it is recommended to install the projector in a location that does not block ventilation.
As an example, do not place the projector on a crowded coffee table, sofa, bed, etc. Do not put the
projector in an enclosure such as a book case or a cabinet that restricts air ow.
To reduce the risk of re and/or electric shock, do not expose the projector to rain or moisture. Do not
install near heat sources such as radiators, heaters, stoves or any other apparatus such as ampliers
that emits heat.
Do not let objects or liquids enter the projector. They may touch dangerous voltage points and short
out parts that could result in re or electric shock.
Do not use under the following conditions:
In extremely hot, cold or humid environments. ±
(i) Ensure that the ambient room temperature is within 5°C ~ 40°C
(ii) Relative humidity is 10% ~ 85%
In areas susceptible to excessive dust and dirt. ±
Near any appliance generating a strong magnetic eld. ±
In direct sunlight. ±
Do not use the projector in places where ammable gases or explosives gases may be present in the
atmosphere. The lamp inside the projector becomes very hot during operation and the gases may
ignite and result in a re.
Do not use the unit if it has been physically damaged or abused. Physical damage/abuse would be
(but not limited to):
Unit has been dropped. ±
Power supply cord or plug has been damaged. ±
Liquid has been spilled on to the projector. ±
Projector has been exposed to rain or moisture. ±
Something has fallen in the projector or something is loose inside. ±

3D Safety Information
Please follow all warnings and precautions as recommended before you or your child use the 3D function.
Warning
Children and teenagers may be more susceptible to health issues associated with viewing in 3D and should be
closely supervised when viewing these images.
Photosensitive Seizure Warning and Other Health Risks
Some viewers may experience an epileptic seizure or stroke when exposed to certain ashing images
or lights contained in certain Projector pictures or video games. If you suffer from, or have a family
history of epilepsy or strokes, please consult with a medical specialist before using the 3D function.
Even those without a personal or family history of epilepsy or stroke may have an undiagnosed
condition that can cause photosensitive epileptic seizures.
Pregnant women, the elderly, sufferers of serious medical conditions, those who are sleep deprived or
under the inuence of alcohol should avoid utilizing the unit's 3D functionality.
If you experience any of the following symptoms, stop viewing 3D pictures immediately and consult a
English

medical specialist: (1) altered vision; (2) light-headedness; (3) dizziness; (4) involuntary movements
such as eye or muscle twitching; (5) confusion; (6) nausea; (7) loss of awareness; (8) convulsions;
(9) cramps; and/ or (10) disorientation. Children and teenagers may be more likely than adults
to experience these symptoms. Parents should monitor their children and ask whether they are
experiencing these symptoms.
Watching 3D projection may also cause motion sickness, perceptual after effects, disorientation, eye
strain and decreased postural stability. It is recommended that users take frequent breaks to lessen
the potential of these effects. If your eyes show signs of fatigue or dryness or if you have any of the
above symptoms, immediately discontinue use of this device and do not resume using it for at least
thirty minutes after the symptoms have subsided.
Watching 3D projection while sitting too close to the screen for an extended period of time may
damage your eyesight. The ideal viewing distance should be at least three times the screen height. It
is recommended that the viewer's eyes are level with the screen.
Watching 3D projection while wearing 3D glasses for an extended period of time may cause a
headache or fatigue. If you experience a headache, fatigue or dizziness, stop viewing the 3D
projection and rest.
Do not use the 3D glasses for any other purpose than for watching 3D projection.
Wearing the 3D glasses for any other purpose (as general spectacles, sunglasses, protective goggles,
etc.) may be physically harmful to you and may weaken your eyesight.
Viewing in 3D projection may cause disorientation for some viewers. Accordingly, DO NOT place your
3D PROJECTOR near open stairwells, cables, balconies, or other objects that can be tripped over, run
into, knocked down, broken or fallen over.

SETUP AND INSTALLATION
Installing the projector
Your projector is designed to be installed in one of four possible positions.
Your room layout or personal preference will dictate which installation location you select. Take into consideration
the size and position of your screen, the location of a suitable power outlet, as well as the location and distance
between the projector and the rest of your equipment.
Table mount front Ceiling mount front
Table mount rear Ceiling mount rear
Projector should be placed at on a surface and 90 degrees / perpendicular to the screen.
How to determine projector location for a given screen size, please refer to distance table on pages
42-43.
How to determine screen size for a given distance, please refer to distance table on pages 42-43.
The further away the projector is placed from the screen the projected image size increases and vertical Note:
offset also increases proportionally.
IMPORTANT!
Do not operate the projector in any orientation other that table top or ceiling mount. The projector should
be horizontal and not tilted either forwards/backwards or left/right. Any other orientation will invalidate
the warranty and may shorten the lifetime of the projector lamp or the projector itself. For none standard
installation advise please contact Optoma.

Installing / replacing the batteries
Two AAA size batteries are supplied for the remote control.
Remove the battery cover on the back of the remote control.1.
Insert AAA batteries in the battery compartment as illustrated.2.
Replace back cover on remote control.3.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type batteries.Note:
CAUTION
Improper use of batteries can result in chemical leakage or explosion. Be sure to follow the instructions below.
Do not mix batteries of different types. Different types of batteries have different characteristics.
Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new batteries or
cause chemical leakage in old batteries.
Remove batteries as soon as the are depleted. Chemicals that leak from batteries that come in contact
with skin can cause a rash. If you nd any chemical leakage, wipe thoroughly with a cloth.
The batteries supplied with this product may have a shorter life expectancy due to storage conditions.
If you will not be using the remote control for an extended period of time, remove the batteries.
When you dispose of the batteries, you must obey the law in the relative area or country.
Effective range
Infra-Red (IR) remote control sensor is located on the top side and front side of the projector. Ensure to hold the
remote control at an angle within 30 degrees perpendicular to the projector’s IR remote control sensor to function
correctly. The distance between the remote control and the sensor should not be longer than 7 meters (~ 23 feet).
Make sure that there are no obstacles between the remote control and the IR sensor on the projector
that might obstruct the infra-red beam.
Make sure the IR transmitter of the remote control is not being shined by sunlight or uorescent lamps
directly.
Please keep the remote controller away from uorescent lamps for over 2 meters or the remote
controller might become malfunction.
If the remote control is closed to Inverter-Type uorescent lamps, it might become ineffective from time
to time.
If the remote control and the projector are within a very short distance, the remote control might
become ineffective.
When you aim at the screen, the effective distance is less than 5 meters from the remote control to the
screen and reecting the IR beams back to the projector. However, the effective range might change
according to screens.
