    Setting up
    Setting up
    (continued on next page) Install the projector according to the environment and manner the projector will be 
    used in.
    Arrangement
    Refer to table T-1 or T-2 and figures F-1 and F-2 at the end of User’s Manual (concise) to 
    determine the screen size and projection distance.
    The values shown in the table are calculated for a full size screen.
      
    a  Screen size (diagonal)   b1 , b2  Projection distance (±8%)   c1 , c2  Screen height (±8%)
    •  For the case of installation in special conditions such as on the wall or ceiling, the 
    specified mounting accessories and service may be required.  Tabletop use must be 
    setup with the designated optional accessories.  Before installing the projector, consult 
    your dealer about your installation.
    •   
    The screen position may shift after installation if the projector is mounted on locations 
    such as the wall or ceiling, due to the flexibility of the plastic projector body. If readjustment 
    is necessary, consult with your dealer or service personnel.
    •
       The projected image position and/or focus may change during warm-up (approx. 30 
    minutes after the lamp is turned on) or when the ambient conditions change. Readjust 
    the image position and/or focus as necessary.
    •    Since the projector features an ultra short throw, be aware that it is required to select a 
    screen carefully to have better performance.
    - A soft screen such as a pull-down screen may cause serious distortion of a projected 
    image. A hard screen such as a board screen is recommended for use with this 
    projector.
    - A high-gain screen such as a bead screen that has narrow viewing angle is not suitable 
    for this projector. A low-gain screen (around 1.0) such as a matte screen that has wide 
    viewing angle is recommended for use with this projector.
    - 
    A screen with a weave pattern may cause moiré on the projected image, which is not a 
    failure of the projector. A screen that has less moiré effects is recommended for use with this 
    projector.
    ►Place the projector in a stable horizontal position. If the 
    projector falls or is knocked over, it could cause injury and/or damage to the 
    projector. Using a damaged projector could then result in fire and/or electric shock.
    •   Do not place the projector on an unstable, slanted or vibrational surface such 
    as a wobbly or inclined stand.
    •   Do not place the projector on its side or front position. To place the projector 
    on its rear position for the table top use, it is required to use the designated 
    optional parts. Consult with your dealer.
    •   Consult with your dealer before a special installation such as on the wall or 
    ceiling.WARNING

    Setting up
    Arrangement (continued)
    ►Place the projector in a cool place, and ensure that there is 
    sufficient ventilation. The high temperature of the projector could cause fire, 
    burns and/or malfunction of the projector.
    •   Do not stop-up, block or otherwise cover the projector's vents.
    •   Keep a space of 30 cm or more between the sides of the projector and other 
    objects such as walls.
    •  Do not place or attach anything that would block the lens or vent holes.
    • Do not place the projector on metallic thing or anything weak in heat.
    •   Do not place the projector on carpet, cushions or bedding.
    •   Do not place the projector in direct sunlight or near hot objects such as heaters. 
    Do not place the projector where the air from an air conditioner or similar unit 
    will blow on it directly.
    •  
    Do not place anything near the projector lens or vents, or on top of the projector.
    •  Do not place anything that may be sucked into or stick to the vents on the 
    bottom of the projector. This projector has some intake vents also on the bottom.
    ►Do not place the projector anyplace where it may get wet. Getting the projector 
    wet or inserting liquid into the projector could cause fire, electric shock and/or 
    malfunction of the projector.
    •   Do not place the projector in a bathroom or the outdoors.
    •   Do not place anything containing liquid near the projector.
    •  
    Do not place the projector where any oils, such as cooking or machine oil, are used.
    ►Use only the mounting accessories the manufacturer specified, and leave installing 
    and removing the projector with the mounting accessories to the service personnel.
    •   Read and keep the user’s manual of the mounting accessories used.WARNING
    ►Avoid placing the projector in smoky, humid or dusty place. 
    Placing the projector in such places could cause fire, electric shock and/or 
    malfunction of the projector.
    • Do not place the projector near humidifiers, smoking spaces or a kitchen.  Also 
    do not use an ultrasonic humidifier near the projector. Otherwise chlorine and 
    minerals contained in tap water are atomized and could be deposited in the 
    projector causing image degradation or other problems.
    ►
    Position the projector to prevent light from directly hitting the projector's remote sensor.
