the short-throw lens.

Removing the Standard
Lens
7. Remove the foam shield around the front of the lens and set it aside. (You
will install it on the replacement lens later.)
8. Remove the two (2), black plastic retaining clips on either side of the lens.
Each clip is held in place with two (2), captive Phillips screws. The white,
plastic standoffs serve as “handles” to make removing the clips easier.
9. Carefully remove the lens from the lens cavity by pulling it straight out, then
tilt it upward to allow the vertical lens shift adjuster to clear the opening at
the front of the projector.

Installing the Short-Throw
Lens and Re-Assembling
the Projector
10. Remove the vertical lens shift adjuster from the
top of the lens assembly that you just removed.
Install it at the same location on the
replacement lens assembly.
Note carefully the correct orientation of the lens when doing this. When
oriented correctly, the notch on the lens mounting plate faces down. The
lens aperture is crescent-shaped, with the concave edge facing down and
to the left:
11. Insert the short-throw lens into the lens
cavity. Ensure that the notch on the
vertical lens shift adjuster mates with
the retaining slot on the projector, as
shown at right. Otherwise, the adjuster
won’t work correctly.
12. Secure the lens in place using the black retaining clips that you removed in
Step 8.
13. Install the foam lens shield around the new lens (refer to Step 7).
14. Replace the stray light shield that you removed in Steps 4through 6.
(Remember to reconnect the black wire to the shield.)
15. Replace the projector front cover that you removed in Steps 1through 3.
