Setting up the projector 13
Ideally, keep the projector level and place it at a height so its lens is pointing near the bottom
or top of the screen, as shown below.
The size of the image is determined by the distance from the projector’s lens to the screen.
Depending on your display settings and how you use the zoom ring, the actual size may differ.
Use these tables as a guide for projector placement:

Setting up the projector 15
Installing the projector
To install the projector, you first need to determine the location, based on the size of your
screen (maximum diagonal image size). Use the tables on page 13 as a guide to positioning the
projector.
To suspend the projector from the ceiling, you will need the optional projector mount. See
page 10 for purchasing information. Follow the instructions included with the mount to
install the projector.
Warning: When installing or adjusting the ceiling mount, do not use adhesives to prevent the
screws from loosening and do not use any type of oil or lubricant. These may cause the projector
casing to crack and the projector may fall, causing serious injury and serious damage to the
projector.
Note: When the projector is mounted on the ceiling and the picture is inverted, the dock will not
function.
If you install the projector on the ceiling, you will need to invert the picture so that it appears
right side up. Follow these steps:
1. Turn on the projector.
2. Press the Menu button on the remote control.
3. Open the Extended menu, then select Projection.

Setting up the projector 17
Installing batteries in the remote control
The remote control uses two AAA batteries.
Warning: Keep batteries away from children. If a battery is swallowed, seek medical help
immediately.
1. Release the tab and lift off the cover.
2. Insert two new AAA batteries as shown.
3. Insert the tab into the cover and press it down until it
clicks into place.
Aim the remote control at the screen, or at the front or back of
the projector. Make sure you are within 20 feet (6 m) of the
projector.
If you suspect the batteries are weak, press the illumination button. If the playback control
buttons do not glow, replace the batteries.
Turning the projector on and off
Turning on the projector
1. Use the A/V mute slide to open the lens cover.
2. Turn on any connected equipment you plan to use.
3. Press the Ppower button on the remote control or on
the projector.
Note: To prevent children from turning on the projector, you
can use the Child Lock feature. See page 46 for details.
If you’ll be using the projector at an altitude above 4921 feet (1500 meters), turn on High Altitude
Mode so the fan can properly cool the projector at high altitude air pressure. See page 48 for
details.
The projector takes about 30 seconds to warm up and display an image. If you don’t see a picture,
you may need to change the image source as described on page 36.
Warning: Never look into the projector lens when the lamp is turned on; the bright light can
damage your eyes. Never let children and pets look into the lens when it is on.

18 Setting up the projector
Turning off the projector
1. Turn off any equipment connected to the projector.
2. Press the Ppower button on the remote control or on the projector.
Caution: Turn off this product when not in use to prolong the life of the projector. Continuous
24-hour-a-day use may reduce the overall life of the product.
3. If you need to move the projector, wait for the Ppower light to stop flashing, then you
can unplug the projector.

Projecting from an iPod, iPhone, or iPad 19
Projecting from an iPod, iPhone, or
iPad
The projector features a dock that allows you to connect an iPod, iPhone, or iPad and charge
it while you play back media stored on the device.
Note: The term “iPod” is used in this manual to describe an iPod, iPhone or iPad unless
otherwise noted.
Tip: When your iPod is connected to the projector, it charges whenever the projector is on,
including when the projector is in standby mode.
Connecting an iPod or iPhone
1. Remove the protective case from your device, if necessary.
2. Eject the dock by pressing on it until it clicks, then release it. The dock slides out.
3. Support the dock with one hand and connect the device by aligning it with the dock
connector and gently pushing it straight down as shown.
Caution: To prevent damage, do not apply too much pressure when connecting your device.

20 Projecting from an iPod, iPhone, or iPad
Connecting an iPad
Before you connect an iPad to your projector, you can attach the included iPad bracket.
Follow these steps:
Caution: Do not remove the iPad bracket once attached. Removing the bracket weakens the
adhesive, making it unable to support the iPad if reattached.
1. Remove the protective case from your iPad, if necessary.
2. Use a clean dry lint-free cloth to wipe the surface of the projector where the iPad bracket
will be attached.
3. Remove the tape from the iPad bracket to expose the adhesive.
4. Attach the bracket as shown below.
