Note: Your projector comes with 4 screws in the bottom. Don’t remove screws if you do not use ceiling mount.
Authorized technician should perform the installation only.
When using the ceiling mount bracket, the safety instructions provided with the bracket must be strictly observed. Placed the projector at
the desired distance from the screen: the size of the projected image depends upon the distance between the lens and the screen and the
zoom setting.
For ceiling/wall installation, by means of suspension bracket, carefully follow the instructions and safety instructions
recommended by the manufacturer in the bracket’s literature.
