Troubleshooting Procedures
QUESTION: My projector mount must be set at an angle to be viewed properly on the wall, but the
projector will not hold at this position. Why is this?
ANSWER: The angle adjustments are not tight; they must be tightened.
QUESTION: Why won’t my bracket fit my projector?
ANSWER: There may be several mounting positions for your particular bracket. Try to line up the
holes on the bracket with the mounting points on the projector. If this still does not
solve the problem, then contact Customer Service and advise them of the situation.
