devices which are connected to the product.
c) LED light
• Do not look directly into the light of the lens while the projector is in use, as this
may cause eye damage.
• Attention, LED light:
- Do not look directly at the LED light!
- Do not look into the beam directly or with optical instruments!
d) Electrical safety
• This device was constructed according to protection class II. Only connect the
mains plug to a standard mains socket (100 - 240 V/AC, 50 Hz) connected to
the public grid.
• Neverpouranyliquidsoverelectricaldevicesorputobjectslledwithliquidnext
to the device. If liquid or an object does get inside the device, power down the
respective socket (e.g. switch off the circuit breaker), and then remove the mains
plug from the mains socket. Discontinue use and take the product to a specialist
repair centre.
• Never use the product immediately after it has been taken from a cold room into
to a warm one. This may cause condensation to form, which can destroy the
product. Allow the product to reach room temperature before connecting it and
putting it into use. This may take several hours.
• The mains socket must be located near to the device and be easily accessible.
7

• Never unplug the mains plug by pulling on the cable. Always use the grips on
the plug.
• Unplug the mains plug from the mains socket if you do not plan to use the product
for an extended period of time.
• For safety reasons, disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket during
thunderstorms.
• Ensure that the mains cable is not squeezed, bent, damaged by sharp edges
or subjected to mechanical stress. Avoid excessive thermal stress on the mains
cable from extreme heat or cold. Do not modify the mains cable. Failure to adhere
to these instructions may lead to damage of the mains cable. A damaged mains
cable can cause a fatal electric shock.
• Do not touch the mains cable if there are any signs of damage. Power down
the respective mains socket (e.g. via the respective circuit breaker), and then
carefully unplug the mains plug from the mains socket. Never use the product if
the mains cable is damaged.

9. Positioning the projector
a) General information
You can place the projector on a surface such as a table or other similar piece of furniture.
Overhead mounting in front of or behind the projection surface is also possible. Refer to the next
section for details. The requisite brackets are not included with the product. Suitable products
are available from specialist retailers.
10

Ensure that the ventilation openings on the projector are not obstructed or blocked during the
installation/mounting process. The projector should be placed at least 10 cm away from other
objects to ensure adequate cooling by air circulation.
11

b) Determining the projection distance
When setting up the projector, observe the correct ratio between the distance of the projector
from the projection screen (e.g. screen or similar) and the image size. Refer to the following
gure.
Inaddition,bearinmindthattheambientbrightnesshasasignicantimpactonthevisibilityof

darken the room and/or avoid glare from strong sunlight.
12

10. Installation and connection
a) Overhead mounting
• Mount the projector with a projector ceiling bracket (not included with the product).
• Make sure that the load-bearing strength of the mounting surface and the fastening elements
(e.g.screws)issufcient.
Do not mount the projector in the vicinity of air conditioning, ventilation or heating
systems. This can cause the device to overheat and power off.
13

b) Wall mounting
Wall mounting hole
• Use the wall mounting hole to attach the projector to a wall.
• In addition, make sure that the load-bearing strength of the mounting surface and the
fasteningelements(e.g.screws)issufcient.
c) Ventilation openings
Do not cover the air cooling openings during use, as this may cause the device to overheat
orevencauseare.Theremustbeacontinuousowofairbetweentheairinletandoutlet.

d) Keystone correction
Position the projector as perpendicular as possible to the projection surface. If the projector is
not exactly perpendicular to the projection screen, the projected image will appear distorted.
The image will appear wider (or higher) on one side than on the opposite side. To compensate
for this, use the keystone correction on the device. This creates a distortion in the image that
compensates for the existing distortion and creates a normal image for the viewer.
• Turn the Keystone selection wheel (3) to correct the image for an undistorted view. You can
correct the image up to a maximum of ±15°.

1Tips
• Make sure that there is an unobstructed line of sight between the remote control and the
infrared sensor. The signal must not be blocked by opaque objects.
• To ensure unobstructed reception, point the remote control towards the rear left of the device
or directly at the infrared sensor.
• To prevent damage to the remote control, do not store it in places where it may be exposed
to high temperatures or moisture.
12. Setup
The lens cap must be removed before the image can be projected. Replace the lens
capwhenyouhavenishedusingtheprojector.
a) Turning the projector on/off
• Wait for approx. 3 seconds after connecting the device to the mains voltage. The LED will
turn red.
• Press the on/off button (6) to switch the device on. The LED will turn green.
• Press the on/off button to switch the device off.
• You can also switch off the projector via the on/off button on the remote control.
• The LED will turn red to indicate that the projector is in standby mode.
Before disconnecting the power plug, make sure that the projector fan has turned
off. If this is not the case, this indicates that the device has not yet cooled down
sufciently.Neverunplugthemainsplugfromthemainssocketbeforethefanhas
switched off, as the device could still be too hot without further cooling. This excess
heat will affect the lifespan of the device.
