INTALLATION

To install batteries in the remote

1. Slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow to remove it.
2. Install two AA batteries with the correct polarity.
3. Replace the cover.
Note on Batteries
• Make sure that the battery polarities are correct when installing the batteries
• Do not mix an old battery with a new one or different types of batteries.
• If you will not use the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries to avoid
damage from battery leakage.
Notes on Remote Control Operation

the IR signal from the remote back toward the IR receiver on the projector. In some cases,
however, ambient conditions may prevent this. If so, point the remote control at the projector
and try again.
• If the effective range of the remote control decreases, or it stops working, replace the
batteries with new ones.
• The remote control may fail to operate if the infrared remote sensor is exposed to bright
 sunlightoruorescentlighting.

Installation Considerations

Proper installation of your projector will ensure the quality of your display. Whether you are installing a projector temporarily or permanently, you should take the following into account to ensure your projector performs optimally.

Ambient Light

In general, minimize or eliminate light sources directed at the screen. Contrast ratio in your images will be noticeably reduced if light directly strikes the screen, such as when a shaft
of light from a window or oodlight falls on the image. Images may then appear washed
out and less vibrant.
Requires separate room Installation cost is usually higher.

Throw Distance

Throw distance is the distance measured from the front of the projector to the screen. This is an important calculation in any projector installation as it determines whether or not you have enough room to install your projector with a de-sired screen size and if your image will be the right size for your screen. You can quickly estimate the throw distance by taking the width of the screen and multiplying it by the lens throw ratio; see Figure 3-2. The result of this calculation tells you roughly how far back the projector should be positioned from
the screen in order to project a focused image large enough to ll the screen.
Throw Distance (TD) = Screen Width (W) x Throw Ratio (TR)
Screen Width (SW)
Throw Distance (TD)
Note:
H8030 is available with multiple lens options. The standard H8030 offers throw ratios
between 1.85:1 - 2.40:1. With the optional, short-throw lens with throw ratios between
1.56:1 - 1.86:1, and long-throw lens with throw ratios between 2.40:1 – 4.0:1.

Modes of installation
■ Frontal projection - desktop installation
Advantages: Easy to install can be easily moved
or adjusted easy to operate
Disadvantage: Occupies oor space and limits
seating capacity.
■ Rear projection - desktop installation
Advantage: The projector is completely hidden
from plain view the projector can be easily operated this setup usually offers better reduction of ambient noise.
Disadvantage: Requires an additional room for
installation relatively higher costs for installation.
.
Projector
Projector
■ Frontal projection - ceiling mode
Advantage: Does not occupy oor space does not
draw attention to it. Eliminates the possibility that someone would accidentally move the projector.
Disadvantage: Stricter installation requirements
and conditions; care should be taken during the installation to ensure the projector has been securely mounted. Operation of the projector becomes inconvenient without the remote control.

Can’t > 15˚

Other Considerations

Install the projector in an environment below 35°C (95°F). The projector should be kept
clear from sources of heat and / or ventilation openings of air conditioner.
The projector should be kept away from devices that emit electromagnetic energy,
such as motor and transformer. Common devices that emit electromagnetic energy
include slideshow system, speakers, power ampliers and elevators.
If you choose to install the projector on the ceiling, be sure to use the ceiling installation components manufactured by manufacturer-certied vendors. For details, please contact your local dealer.
Ensure that the intake vents do not recycle hot air from the exhaust vent.
