the unit. For servicing, contact qualified service personnel.
Follow all warnings and cautions in this manual and on the unit case.
The projection lamp is extremely bright by design. To avoid damage to eyes, do not look into the

Projector Installation Notice
Place the projector in a horizontal position
The tilt angle of the projector should not exceed 15 degrees. In addition, the projector should
not be installed in any other way except desktop and ceiling mount positions. Otherwise lamp life
could decrease dramatically, and may lead to other unpredictable damage.
Allow at least 50 cm (16.69 inch) clearance around the exhaust vent.

Ensure that the intake vents do not recycle hot air from the exhaust vent.
When operating the projector in an enclosed space, ensure that the surrounding air temperature
within the enclosure does not exceed operation temperature while the projector is running, and the
air intake and exhaust vents are unobstructed.
All 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
with the acceptable operation temperature range.

DC 12V TRIGGER
When connected to the screen through a commercially available cable,
the screen deploys automatically on start up of the projector. The screen
retracts when the projector is powered off (see notes below).
DC12V Trigger Note:
 To use this feature, you must plug in the connector before turning on/off the projector.
 Screen controllers are supplied and supported by screen manufacturers.
 Do not use this jack for anything other than intended use.
Connectivity Note:
If your video equipment has multiple connection options, please note that HDMI provides the
highest quality image, followed by Component and then S-video. Composite provides the least
quality image.
Warning:
As a safety precaution, disconnect all power to the projector and connecting devices before making
connections.

Remote Control Parts
Important:
1. Avoid using the projector with bright fluorescent lighting turned on. Certain high-frequency
fluorescent lights can disrupt remote control operation.
2. Be sure nothing obstructs the path between the remote control and the projector. If the path
between 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.

Remote Control Operating Range
The remote control uses infrared transmission 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.
Projector and Remote Control Buttons
The projector can be operated using the remote control. All operations can be carried out with the
remote control.
