    Notes on Batteries
    ■Make sure that the polarities are correct when installing the batteries.
    ■Do not mix an old battery with a new one, or mix different types of batteries.
    ■If the remote control will not be used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to avoid damage 
    from battery leakage. 
    Notes on Remote Control Operation
    ■Make sure that there is nothing between the remote control and the IR receiver on the projector that might 
    obstruct the infrared beam.
    ■The effective range of the remote control is between 8m (from the front of the projector) and 5m (from the 
    rear of the projector), and within 30 degrees horizontally and 15 degrees vertically.

    Distance: Projection distance (the distance between the projection lens and the screen).
    Height 1: The vertical height of the screen uppper edge
    Roof: The height of the roof.
    Height 2: The height from the base plate to the center of lens (2.78 inch or 70.64 mm).
    Offset:  The difference in height between the center of the projection lens and the upper edge of the projection

    1. Choose the screen width you desired  from the chart below, installing the projector at a distance from the screen 
    between the corresponding  Minimum and Maximum Distance. (Minimum Distance = 1.36 x Screen Width, 
    Maximum Distance = 1.66 x Screen Width)
    2. Fine tune the projected image size using the zoom and focus rings on the projection lens.
    3. Decide on the exact height you desire for the center of the screens Height.
    4. Mount this unit using ceiling mounting rack with a suitable length (Roof - Height 1 - Offset - Height 2) to meet your 
    requirements, and avoid any keystone distortion. 
    5. Alternatively, use the adjusters to fine tune the projection angle to meet your requirements, and then use  the 
    keystone correction function to correct any distortion.
