are compressed to 1024x768. The projector cannot compress
screen resolutions above 1280x1024. If your computer’s screen
resolution is higher than 1280x1024, reset it to a lower resolution
before you connect the projector.

Usage Guidelines
•Do not look directly into the projection lens when the lamp is
turned on. The bright light may harm your eyes.
•Do not block the grills on the projector. Restricting the air flow
can cause it to overheat and turn off. If this happens, you must
wait a minute before attempting to turn it back on.
•Handle the projector as you would any product with glass
components. Be especially careful not to drop it.
•Avoid leaving the projector in direct sunlight or extreme cold
for extended periods of time. If this happens, allow it to reach
room temperature before use.
•Transport the projector in a vendor-approved hard or soft case.

Warranty
This product is backed by a limited Five-Year Warranty. The
details of the warranty are printed at the back of this manual.

SETTING UP THE PROJECTOR
1Place the projector on a flat surface.
•The projector must be within 10 feet (3 m) of your power
source and within 6 feet (1.8 m) of your computer.
•If you want to project from behind a translucent screen, set
up the projector behind your screen. See “Rear Projection”
on page 36 to reverse the image.
•If you are installing the projector on the ceiling, refer to the
installation guide that comes with the Ceiling Mount Kit for
more information. To turn the image upside down, see
“Ceiling Projection” on page 36. The Ceiling Mount Kit is
sold separately; see “Optional Accessories” on page 50.
2Position the projector the desired distance from the screen.
•The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen and
the zoom lens setting determine the size of the projected
image. Table 1 shows example projected image sizes and
minimum and maximum distances to the screen.
The formulas for distance to the screen are:
Max distance (ft) = diagonal image size (ft) ÷.49
Min distance (ft) = diagonal image size (ft) ÷.69

Setting up the Projector
FIGURE 3
Projected image size for 10’ diagonal image size
The projector is equipped with a lens shift feature that allows you
to adjust the projection height (move the image along the wall)
without moving the projector, while still maintaining a perfectly
square image. Turn the lens shift knob on the side of the projector
to make this adjustment (Figure 4).

The bottom of the image can move from half way below the pro-
jector’s lens (Figure 5) to parallel with the lens (Figure 6).
Example: With a 10’ image, at the lowest projection angle, the bot-
tom of the image is 5’ below the projector’s lens; at the highest
projection angle, the bottom of the image is parallel with the lens.
FIGURE 5
Lowest image projection angle
FIGURE 6
Highest image projection angle
Once you know the diagonal image size, you can figure out the
width and height using these formulas:
width (inches) = diagonal (inches) x 0.8
height (inches) = width (inches) x 0.75

Setting up the Projector
The following tables give the lens shift values for desktop and
ceiling-mounted setups for various image sizes. The lower lens
shift position represents the highest the projector can be above
the bottom of the screen; the upper lens shift position represents
the lowest the projector can be below the bottom of the screen.
When the projector is ceiling mounted, use the upper edge of the
screen as the base line.
