Various Projection Methods
Warning
•A special method of installation is required when suspending the projector from a ceiling (ceiling mount). If
it is not installed correctly, it could fall causing an accident and injury.
•If you use adhesives, lubricants, or oil on ceiling mount fixing points to prevent screws from loosening, or if
you use things such as lubricants or oils on the projector, the projector case may crack causing it to fall from
its ceiling mount. This could cause serious injury toanyone under the projector and also damage the projector.
Attention
•Do not setup the projector on its side. This may cause malfunctions to occur.
•Try not to setup the projector in locations subject to high humidity and dust, or in locations subject to smoke
from fires or tobacco smoke.
•Clean the air filter once every three months. Clean it more often if the environment is particularly dusty.
