    To install batteries in the remote control: 
    1. Press down the tab on the cover and 
    pull the cover in the direction of the 
    arrow.
     
     
     
    2. Insert the included batteries. Ensure that 
    the polarities correctly match the 
     
    and  markings inside the battery 
    compartment. 
    3. Insert the lower tab of the cover into the

    Notes on Remote Control 
    Operation
    The remote control can be used to control the projector within the ranges shown in Figure 
    3-1. 
    Figure 3-1. Available Range of the Remote Control
     For best results, hold the remote control within 23 feet (7m) of the back or top sensor and 
    aligned within 30°.
     Do not drop the remote control or expose it to moisture or high temperature.
     The remote control may malfunction under a fluorescent lamp. If that occurs, move the 
    projector away from the fluorescent lamp.
     Make sure that there is nothing obstructing the infrared beam between the remote 
    control and the IR receiver on the projector.
     If the effective range of the remote control decreases, or it stops working, replace the 
    batteries with new ones.
     Ambient conditions may possibly impede the operation of the remote control. If this 
    happens, point the remote control at the projector, and repeat the operation.
    ➤
    The signal from the remote control can be reflected by the screen.

    Installation Considerations
    Proper installation of your projector will ensure the quality of your display. Whether you are 
    installing a projector temporarily or permanently, you should take the following into account 
    to ensure your projector performs optimally.
    Installation Type Choose the installation type that best suits your needs: front or rear screen, floor mount or 
    inverted mount. 
    Table 3-2 compares these various installation methods. 
    Ambient Light In general, minimize or eliminate light sources directed at the screen. Contrast ratio in your 
    images will be noticeably reduced if light directly strikes the screen, such as when a shaft of 
    light from a window or floodlight falls on the image. Images may then appear washed out 
    and less vibrant.
    Other Considerations Other considerations and tips that can help improve your installation:
     Keep the ambient temperature constant and below 35°C (95°F). Keep the projector away 
    from heating and/or air conditioning vents. Changes in temperature may cause drifts in 
    the projector circuitry, which may affect performance.
     Keep the projector away from devices that radiate electromagnetic energy such as motors 
    and transformers. Common sources of these include slide projectors, speakers, power 
    amplifiers and elevators.

    Throw DistanceThrow distance is the distance measured from the front of the projector to the screen. This is 
    an important calculation in any projector installation as it determines whether or not you 
    have enough room to install your projector with a desired screen size and if your image will 
    be the right size for your screen.
    You can quickly estimate the throw distance by taking the width of the screen and 
    multiplying it by the lens throw ratio; see 
    Figure 3-2.
    • The Vision 10 has a lens throw ratio of between 1.40 and 1.60.
    • The Vision 12 has a lens throw ratio of between 1.42 and 1.65.
    The result of this calculation tells you roughly how far back the projector should be 
    positioned from the screen in order to project a focused image large enough to fill the 
    screen.
    For example, with an 8-foot (96-inch) wide screen: 
     The Vision 10 has a throw distance range of between 134.4 inches (3.41 meters) and 153.6 
    inches (3.90 meters).
     The Vision 12 has a throw distance range of between 136.3 inches (3.46 meters) and 158.4 
    inches (4.02 meters).
    Figure 3-2. Estimating Throw Distance
    Estimating Throw Distance (TD)
    Vision Model 10
    Minimum  TD  = Screen Width  x  1.40
    Maximum  TD  = Screen Width  x  1.60
    Vision Model 12
    Minimum  TD  = Screen Width  x  1.42
    Maximum  TD  = Screen Width  x  1.65

    Vertical and Horizontal 
    Position
    Proper placement of the projector relative to the screen will yield a rectangular, 
    perfectly-centered image that completely fills the screen. 
    Ideally, the projector should be positioned perpendicular to the screen and in such a way 
    that the lens center and screen center are aligned with each other, as shown in 
    Figure 3-3.
    Figure 3-3. Projector Placement
    Vertical and Horizontal Lens 
    Shift
    If it is not possible to align the projector and screen as shown in Figure 3-3, you can use the 
    lens shift controls to center the image on the screen. Lens shift is generally expressed as a 
    percentage of the screen height or width, as shown in 
    Figure 3-4 and Figure 3-5.

    Table 3-3 gives the lens shift limits for the Vision 10 and Vision 12, as percentages and 
    absolute measurements with a 96 x 54 inch (1.78:1) screen. 
    Adjusting the Projection 
    Angle
    If the screen is significantly higher or lower than the projector, you can also tilt the projector 
    at a slight angle. In a ceiling installation, you do this by adjusting the ceiling mount. For a 
    floor installation, turn the four adjustable feet on the bottom of the projector to adjust the 
    projector height and/or projection angle.
    If you do this, you may need to shift the image or apply keystone correction using the 
    on-screen display (OSD) controls, to compensate. For detailed instructions, refer to 
    Using the 
    On-Screen Menus on page 32.

    Notes: 
    1. With no vertical or horizontal lens shift, the lens center and screen center are aligned with each other.
    2. Vertical shift limits are percentages of the screen height. Horizontal shift limits are percentages of the 
    screen width.
    3. Vertical lens shift figures apply to ceiling mount configurations. For floor installations (where the 
    projector is upright), reverse the up/down vertical offset percentages.
