Adjusting the Image Position 
 

Use the adjustable foot at the front of the projector to set the image height. 
Rotate the adjustable foot at the rear of the projector to fine-tune the image 
position.  

—

 

When the foot is adjusted, it may cause the shape of the projected image 
to become distorted. Use the keystone correction function to correct this 
distortion. 

—

 

To retract the front adjustable foot, press the foot release button. The 
front adjustable foot will slowly retract inside the projector.
