Storing the projector in the carrying bag
After turning off the projector, store the projector and accessories as shown in the 
following illustration.
Notes when storing in the carrying bag
•  If the lens shutter is open when the projector is stored, the lens could be cracked.
•  If the adjuster feet are extended when the projector is stored, the feet could break.
•  If the cables are placed on the top surface of the projector, the surface could be 
damaged.
•  When carrying the projector in the carrying bag, do not subject it to any shocks, do 
not drop it, or place anything heavy on top of it. Failure to do so could damage the 
projector.
•  As dust accumulates easily in the carrying bag, clean the dust out of the bag before 
storing the projector.
Close the lens shutter
Retract the adjuster feet, and then place the projector in the carrying bag with the 
lens facing up.
Put the cables and remote control in the pocket inside the carrying bag, or under the 
rear of the projector.

As the projector does not have a zoom function, adjust the size of the projected image 
by changing the projection distance.
The projector should be placed horizontally on top of a desk, etc. so that the projector 
is perpendicular to the center of the screen.
This projector is designed to project at a slightly upward angle above the horizontal 
plane of the projector. This is so that they can be readily placed on a table and will 
project forward and upwards onto a screen positioned so that the bottom edge of the 
screen is above the level of the table.
Adjusting the size of the image
The size of the image is determined by the projection distance.
The below information shows the relationship between the screen size and the 
projection distance.

Adjusting the image height
The projector is equipped with 2 adjuster feet. Use 
the front adjuster foot to adjust the height, and the 
rear adjuster foot to adjust the inclination of the 
image.
If the projector is not placed on a horizontal 
surface or the screen and the projector are not perpendicular to each other, the 
projected image becomes trapezoidal. To correct this distortion, see Keystone on 
page 82 for details.
•  Do not look into the lens while the light source is on. Strong light from the light 
source may damage your eyes. Be especially careful that children do not stare 
directly into the lens.
•  Be careful when adjusting the feet as they are close to the exhausts that vent 
hot air. The cabinet etc. gets very hot which could cause a burn.
•  The adjuster feet can be a choking hazard if swallowed accidentally by small 
children. Make sure these are placed out of the reach of children. If they are 
swallowed accidentally, contact a physician immediately.
When attaching a camera tripod
•  When adjusting the height using a tripod, be careful that the projector does 
not fall. If it falls a malfunction could occur.
•  See the documentation provided with the tripod for more information on 
handling and operating the tripod.
•  When using an elevating tripod, do not extend the elevator. This could cause 
the projector to fall.
