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 page
47-50.
How to determine screen size for a given distance, please refer to distance table on pages 47-50.
Note: The further away the projector is placed from the screen the projected image size increases and vertical
oset also increases proportionally.
IMPORTANT
Do not operate the projector in any orientation other than 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 light source or the projector itself. For none standard

Ensure that the intake vents do not recycle hot air from the exhaust vent.
When operating the projector in an enclosed space, ensure that the surrounding air temperature within
the enclosure does not exceed operation temperature while the projector is running, and the air intake
and exhaust vents are unobstructed.
All enclosures should pass a certied thermal evaluation to ensure that the projector does not recycle
exhaust air, as this may cause the device to shutdown even if the enclosure temperature is with the
acceptable operation temperature range.

SETUP AND INSTALLATION
Eective range
Infra-Red (IR) remote control sensor is located on the top and front sides of the projector. Ensure to hold the
remote control at an angle within 40 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 5 meters (16.4 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 m or the remote controller
might become malfunction.
If the remote control is close to Inverter-Type uorescent lamps, it might become ineective from time
to time.
If the remote control and the projector are within a very short distance, the remote control might
become ineective.
When you aim at the screen, the eective distance is less than 5 m from the remote control to the
