Setting up the Projector
The projector is quick and easy to setup. You can project the image onto most flat
surfaces. This section covers positioning the projector, focusing the image, and
adjusting the brightness and contrast settings.
Choosing a surface
The best surface for the image is a flat, white surface. In most cases, lightly textured
walls do not affect the image quality. Alternatively, a color wall will change the hue of
the image. You can either point the projector at a wall or projector screen or a ceiling.
Placing the projector
Place the projector on a stable surface. You can place the projector on its foot or on the
rear cover. You can even attach the projector to a tripod.

standard camera tripods, including the optional 3M tripod (78-6972-0073-7).
