Although this projector delivers a high-brightness, high-quality output, the final
display quality could be compromised if the projector is not properly installed. This
subsection discusses issues you should consider before proceeding with a final
installation. Even if you do not intend to use the projectors in a fixed and permanent
installation, the following information will help you to better understand what you
can do to enhance display performance.
For any new installation, you will likely have to safely lift or hoist the projector into
place. Keep in mind the following guidelines for safety.
Lifting
All models include handles for convenient hand transport only, such as when a
projector is lifted from a shipping container to a table. Note the following:
•The handles are intended to support the weight of one projector only.
•The handles are intended to support a projector for a brief time only.
•The handles are not safety points, nor points from which to hoist or suspend the
projector.

WARNING
Critical Safety Procedure.
At each of the three stacking points, insert the safety pin fully through the holes in the
stacking mounts and stacking legs (Figure 2.14). Ensure that each pin is fully inserted to
engage the safety lock and secure the projectors together. Failure to engage the safety
lock could cause the projectors to separate and result in injury or death.
WARNING
Failure to engage the safety lock could cause the projectors to
separate and result in injury or death.
Leg Nuts
Before hoisting, firmly tighten the nuts on the two rear stacking legs (Figure 2.14). If
you are ready to align the projectors to one another, leave these nuts slightly loose
until after the alignment.
Repeat STEPS 1–9 for a third projector.
WARNING
Never stack more than three projectors.
Stacked projectors must be correctly aligned to one another so that the resulting
display is optimized and as sharp as possible. If you are also hoisting the stack, hoist
the stack into place first and then align. Lock all stacking hardware into place to
maintain your alignment.
IMPORTANT
Ensure the stacking legs are extended at least one inch and are
slightly loosened. Refer back to Figure 2.11.
Before You Begin
•Always align to the fixed projector. In floor-mount or table-mount (i.e., non-
hoisted) stacks, you will align to the bottom projector as shown in drawings
below. In hoisted stacks, align to the top projector.
•Leg nuts must be loosened before alignment; otherwise the stacking mounts will
not turn and allow movement of the projector.
Position the first image (fixed projector)
Position the fixed projector’s image as desired and align the other image(s) to it as
described below.
Display the grid test pattern
To distinguish each image, enable “Red” for one display and “Green” for the other.
