Projector Installation Notice
¾Place the projector in a horizontal position
The tilt angle of the projector should not exceed 15 degrees, nor should the projector be installed in
any way other than the desktop and ceiling mount, otherwise lamp life could decrease dramatically.
¾Allow at least 50 cm (19.69 inch) clearance around the exhaust vent.
(19.69 inch) (19.69 inch)
(19.69 inch)
(3.94 inch)
(11.81 inch)
(19.69 inch)
¾Ensure that the intake vents do not recycle hot air from the exhaust vent.
¾When operating the projector in an enclosed space, ensure that the surrounding air temperature
within the enclosure does not exceed 5 – 35°C (41– 95°F) while the projector is running, and the
air intake and exhaust vents are unobstructed.
¾All enclosures should pass a certified thermal evaluation to ensure that the projector does not
recycle exhaust air, as this may cause the device to shutdown even if the enclosure temperature is
within the acceptable 5 – 35°C (41– 95°F) range.
Power Safety
¾Only use the supplied power cord.
¾Do not place anything on the power cord. Place the power cord where it will not be in the way of

Important:
1. Avoid using the projector with bright fluorescent lighting turned on. Certain high-frequency fluo-
rescent lights can disrupt remote control operation.
2. Be sure nothing obstructs the path between the remote control and the projector. If the path be-
tween the remote control and the projector is obstructed, you can bounce the signal off certain
reflective surfaces such as projector screens.
3. The buttons and keys on the projector have the same functions as the corresponding buttons on
the remote control. This user’s manual describes the functions based on the remote control.

IN1124/IN1126 – User’s Manual
Remote Control Operating Range
The remote control uses infrared transmissions to control the projector. It is not necessary to point the
remote directly at the projector. Provided you are not holding the remote perpendicular to the sides or
the rear of the projector, the remote will function well within a radius of about 7 meters (23 feet) and
15 degrees above or below the projector level. If the projector does not respond to the remote control,
move a little closer to the projector.
Projector and Remote Control Buttons
The projector can be operated using the remote control or the projector keypad buttons. All opera-
tions can be carried out with the remote control; however, the buttons on the projector are limited in
use. The following illustration shows the corresponding buttons on the remote control and on the pro-
jector.
