◆Operational range
 Keep the remote control sensor out  of direct sunlight or fluorescent 
lamp light.
 Keep the remote control sensor at  least 2 m away from fluorescent 
lamps. Otherwise, the remo te control may malfunction.
 If there is an inverter-operated  fluorescent lamp near the remote 
control, the remote control operati on may become unstable. On this 
occasion, stick a commercially av ailable protection sticker on one 
of the sensors that is closer to the fluorescent lamp.
When operating the remote control,  keep the distance from the remote 
control to the projector via the scre en within about 5 m. The operable 
range of the remote control, howe ver, depends on the characteristics 
of the screen.

◆Setting up your projector
Install the screen perpendicularly to the pr ojector. If the screen can not be installed in such a way, adjust the projection an gle of the projector as 
shown below. 
 Install the screen and projector so that the projector’s lens is placed at the horizontal position of the screen center.
 Do not install the screen where it is exposed  to direct sunlight or lighting. Light directly reflecting on the screen makes th e projected images 
whitish and hard to view.
◆ Basic projector setup
Determine the distance from the screen to the projector accordi ng to the size of the images to be projected (see page 9).
 Do not place this projector on a carpet or  blanket because the exhaust vent and the intake vent on the bottom surface will be blocked and the 
inside of the projector will overhe at, causing a breakdown or fire.
 Depending on the installation conditions, warm  air that is emitted from the exhaust vents may flow into the intake vent, causi ng the projector 
to display “Over Temperature” and then  stop projecting images. If this happens,  clear the area around the exhaust vent.
◆Adjusting the projection angle
This projector is provided with three feet for adjusting the  projection angle on the bottom surface. Adjust the projection angle depending on 
the position of the projector.
For the best projection, project images on a flat screen instal led at 90 degrees to the floor. If necessary, tilt the projector  using the adjustment 
feet on the bottom of the projector.
1. Tilt the projector upwards to the appropriate angle.
2. Press the foot adjustment buttons ne xt to the adjustment feet (rear), and the adjust ment feet will come out.
3. Release the buttons to lock the adju stment feet (rear) to that position.
4. Rotate the adjustment feet (rear) for fine adjustment.
 If necessary, rotate the adjustment  feet (front) for fine adjustment.
After using the projector
Put the adjustment feet (rear) back into the projector by pressing the foot adjustment buttons.
When projected images are distorted to a trapezoid
When the screen and the projector are not pl aced perpendicularly to each other, projected images become trapezoidal. If you can not make the 
projector and the screen perpendicular to each other by  mechanical adjustments, adjust keystone (see page 15).
