Precautions When Carrying/Shipping the 
Projector
Precautions for Installation
Be sure to read “Safety Instructions” and “For Safe Use” (P16 – P29). Also 
take the following precautions during installation.
Prepare the projector as described below before carrying it.
• Disconnect the cables connected to the projector. Carrying the 
projector with the cables attached may cause an accident.
• Retract the adjustable feet.
• Do not reuse any packaging or shock-absorbent materials that 
were supplied with the projector at the time of purchase for 
transporting or shipping the projector.
Protection of the projector cannot be guaranteed if used 
packaging or shock-absorbent materials are reused. Fragments 
from shock-absorbent material may also enter the interior of the 
projector which could cause a malfunction.
• Do not strike the projector or 
subject it to impact. Doing so may 
cause a malfunction.
• Do not install the projector so that it 
is inclined or standing vertically. The 
projector may tip over, causing a 
malfunction.
• Do not block the air intake or 
exhaust vents of the cooling fan. If 
the intake or exhaust vent is 
blocked, heat may accumulate inside the projector, causing a 
malfunction.

Installation and Maintenance
Installation
■Do Not Use in the Following Environments
•Do not install the projector in a location that is damp, or where there is a lot of 
dust, oily smoke or tobacco smoke. Optical parts such as the lens and mirror may 
be stained, resulting in poor picture quality.
•Do not install the projector near high-voltage electrical power lines or an electrical 
power source. The projector may not operate correctly.
•Do not use the projector on a soft surface such as carpet or sponge mat, etc. 
Heat may accumulate inside the projector, causing a malfunction.
•Do not use the projector in a location that is subject to very high temperatures, 
very low temperatures, or high levels of humidity. Doing so may cause a 
malfunction. The temperature and humidity ranges for operation and the 
temperature range for storage are shown below.
■Do Not Touch the Lens with Bare Hands
Do not touch the lens with bare hands. Doing so may adversely affect picture 
quality.
■Allow a 30 Min. Warm Up before Focus Adjustment (P59), if Possible
The focus position may not stabilize immediately after startup, due to lamp heat. 
When adjusting focus, it is also helpful to use the test pattern (10) (P291).
■Install at a Sufficient Distance from Walls and Other Obstructions
Operating temperature Operating humidity Storage temperature
0°C (32°F) – 40°C (104°F)Up to 85%-20°C (-4°F) – 60°C (140°F)
If the air intake or exhaust vent 
is blocked, heat will accumulate 
inside the projector, possibly 
resulting in a shortened 
projector lifetime or a 
malfunction. Do not install in a 
closet, on a bookshelf, or in 
other narrow spaces with poor 
ventilation. Install in a well-
ventilated location. (Ensure a 
minimum clearance of 50 cm (1.6 ft.) above, on both sides, and 
behind the projector.)

■Be Careful of Condensation
If the temperature of the room rises suddenly, moisture in the air may condense on 
the projector lens and mirror, causing the image to become blurred. Wait until the 
condensation has evaporated for the image projected to return to normal.
■At Altitudes above 2,300 m (7,545.8), Adjust the Settings
Projector settings must be adjusted when using the projector at altitudes of 2,300 m 
(7,545.8) or higher. Specifically, refer to instructions for [Fan mode] (P152) in the 
[Install settings] menu.
■When Using Mounted on the Ceiling
When the projector is used mounted on the 
ceiling or installed in a high location, it is 
necessary to periodically clean the air 
intake and exhaust vents, and the area 
around the air filter. If dust accumulates in 
the intake or exhaust vents, cooling 
performance will deteriorate, causing the 
internal temperature to rise and possibly 
resulting in a malfunction or fire. Use a 
vacuum cleaner or similar means to 
remove dust from the intake vent and 
exhaust vent.

■Install Facing in the Correct Direction
When installing the projector facing upward or downward, specify which way the projector 
is facing in [Install settings] > [Professional settings] > [Vertical projection]. (P152)
10°  10°
10°  10°
10°
10°
The projector can be installed facing any direction*1, as shown 
below. However, projection upward ( ) or downward ( ) may 
shorten the useful life of the lamp. Installation in these orientations 
also requires projector settings adjustment. Specifically, for upward 
or downward projection, refer to instructions for [Vertical projection] 
(P152) in the [Install settings] menu.
*1 No optional accessories are available for installing the projector in 
ways other than ceiling installation (P39, P132, P305).
*2 Failure to do so may damage the lamp.
Upward 
projection:
Inclination of the 
projector should 
be no more than 
10° from the 
vertical axis.*
2
Downward 
projection:
Inclination of the 
projector should 
be no more than 
10° from the 
vertical axis.
*2
If installing the 
projector on the floor 
or hanging from the 
ceiling, the left / right 
inclination of the 
projector should be no 
more than 10°.*
2
Do not use the 
projector standing 
on its side. 
This may 
damage the lamp.

Installation Procedure
Setting Up the Projector
■Positioning the Projector in Front of the Screen
Place the projector in front of the screen.
■Floor Installation
To adjust the projection position when the projector is installed on the floor, use the 
lens shift function (P58 and P134) to adjust up / down / left / right. You can also use 
the adjustable feet to incline the projector upward by up to 6°.
For information about the relationship between screen size and projection distance, 
refer to page 133.
■Upward-Tilted Installation
To correct keystone distortion when the projector is tilted upward (using adjustable 
feet, for example), perform keystone correction (P150) or corner adjustment 
(P150).
On some screens, colors may appear 
distorted when images are viewed from the 
side, but this does not indicate a problem 
with the projector. For best results, use a 
matte screen with a wide viewing angle 
(WUX400ST/WX450ST).
• To avoid keystone distortion, install the 
projector so that it is at right angles to the 
screen.
• The screen must not be exposed to direct 
sunlight or light from lighting equipment. In 
a bright room, it is recommended that 
lights be turned off, curtains be drawn, and 
other steps taken to make the screen 
easier to see.
