INTALLATION
To install batteries in the remote
1. Slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow to rem\
ove it.
2.  Install two AA batteries with the correct polarity.
3.  Replace the cover.
123
Note on Batteries 
•	Make sure that the battery polarities are correct when installing the ba\
tteries
•	 Do not mix an old battery with a new one or different types of batteries\
.
•	 If you will not use the remote control for a long time, remove the batte\
ries to avoid     
damage from battery leakage.
Notes on Remote Control Operation
•	 In	most	situations,	you	can	simply	point	the	remote	control	at	the	screen	which	will	reflect			
  the
 IR signal from the remote back toward the IR receiver on the projector. In some cases,  
  however, ambient conditions may prevent this. If so, point the remote
 control at the projector  
  and try again.
•	 If the effective range of the remote control decreases, or it stops work\
ing, replace the    
  batteries with new ones.
•	 The remote control may fail to operate if the infrared remote sensor is \
exposed to bright    
	 sunlight	or	fluorescent	lighting.
Range of effective remote control signal reception
•	 IR Reception effective Angles: 30°
•	 IR Reception effective distance: 10m
Note:
Avoid placing the remote control at places of high temperature or humidity as it could\
 
cause the remote control to malfunction

Installation Considerations
Proper installation of your projector will ensure the quality of your di\
splay. Whether you are 
installing a projector temporarily or permanently, you should take the following into account 
to ensure your projector performs optimally. 
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. 
Requires separate room Installation cost is usually higher.
Throw Distance 
Throw 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 determin\
es whether or not you 
have enough room to install your projector with a de-sired screen size a\
nd 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 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.Throw Distance (TD) = Screen Width (W) x Throw Ratio (TR)
Screen Width (SW)
Throw Distance (TD)
Note:
H9090 is available with multiple lens options. The standard H9090 offers throw ratios 
between 1.85:1 - 2.40:1. With the optional, short-throw lens with throw ratios between 
1.56:1 - 1.86:1, and long-throw lens with throw ratios between 2.40:1 –\
 4.0:1.

Modes of installation
 
■ Frontal projection - desktop installation 
Advantages: easy to install can be easily moved 
or adjusted easy to operate .
Disadvantage: occupies floor space and limits 
seating capacity. 
Projector
 
■ Rear projection - desktop installation
Advantage: The projector is completely hidden   
from plain view the projector can be easily 
operated this setup usually offers better reduction 
of ambient noise. 
Disadvantage: requires an additional room for 
installation relatively higher costs for installation. 
Projector
 
■ Frontal projection - ceiling mode
Advantage: does not occupy floor space does not 
draw attention to it. Eliminates the possibility that 
someone would accidentally move the projector. 
Disadvantage: stricter installation requirements 
and conditions; care should be taken during the 
installation to ensure the projector has been 
securely mounted. Operation of the projector 
becomes inconvenient without the remote control.

Do not tilt the projector more than 15 degrees
The maximum tilt angle for the projector is 15 degrees. 
When the projector is tilted more than 15 degrees, it will shorten the l\

Other Considerations
• Install the projector in an environment below 35°C (95°F). The projector should be kept   
  clear from sources of heat and / or ventilation openings of air conditioner. 
•  The projector should be kept away from devices that emit electromagnetic\
 energy,    
  such as motor and transformer. Common devices that emit electromagnetic energy    
  include slideshow system, speakers, power amplifiers and elevators. 
•  If you choose to install the projector on the ceiling, be sure to use th\
e ceiling      
  installation
 components manufactured by manufacturer-certified vendors. For details,  
  please contact your local dealer. 
•  Ensure that the intake vents do not recycle hot air from the exhaust ven\
t.

Lens Shift
Vertical Lens Shift
The H9090 has a lens shift capability which allows the vertical movement\
 of the image 
without moving the projector. Lens shift is generally expressed as a percentage of the 
screen height. For ceiling mounted projectors, the lens can be moved 120\
% (0.6V) 
downward, while the lens can be moved 120% (0.6V) up or down on a desk\
top mounted 
projector.

S-VIDEO, VIDEO connection
If the image input device offers both S-Video and Video connection, it is recommended that 
you choose S-Video to obtain better image quality. If both the S-Video and Video inputs are 
connected to the projector, the projector will prioritize S-Video signal input and image from 
the Video input will not be played.
