Attention:
Do not look directly into the projection lens when the lamp is turned on. The bright light might
harm your eyes.
Attention:
Follow these guidelines when working with the projector.
v
Do not block the grills on the projector. Restricting the airflow can cause it to overheat and turn off. If
this happens, you must wait one minute before attempting to start the projector again.
v
Handle the projector as you would any other product with glass components. Be especially careful not
to drop it.
v
Avoid leaving the projector in direct sunlight or extreme cold for extended periods of time. If this
happens, allow it to reach room temperature before use.
v
Transport the projector in a carrying case. See ‘‘Accessories’’ in Appendix A for information on
ordering a case and other accessories for your projector.
Setting up the projector
Before turning on your projector, make sure all connections are made. Use the following procedure to set
up the projector:
1.
Place the projector on a flat surface.
v
The projector must be within 3 meters (10 feet) of your power source and within 1.8 meters (6 feet)
of your computer.
v
If you want to project from behind a translucent screen, set up the projector behind the screen. See
the instructions for Rear projection in “System menu” on page 18 for instructions on reversing the
image.
2. Position the projector the desired distance from the screen.
v
If the image is too big or too small, set the zoom ring to adjust the size or move the projector
forward or backward. Once you have made all connections described in this section, you can make
adjustments. The following illustration shows three projected image sizes. For more information
about image size, see Appendix E, “Projected image size” on page 39.
