The projector provides you with the broad use by the following features.
    The unique optics system produces a large projected image in a short distance, 
which provides you with various ways of use.

Fastening the lens cover
To avoid losing the cover, please fasten the lens 
cover to the projector using the included strap.
Put the strap end into the slit of the lens 
cover with the knot on the side of the lens. 
Make sure that the strap is inserted to the 
end of the slit. Fasten the strap to the strap hole as shown 
in the figure for step 1. Please note that the 
knot on the strap is used to fasten it to the 
lens cover in step 2.

2.
►Do not hang the lens cover in 
front of the lens when the projector is mounted 
upside down such as when mounted on the 
ceiling. Otherwise, the lens cover may block the 
light from the projector or hit the lens, which may 
cause damage to it. When mounting the projector 
upside down, hang the lens cover on the side of the 
projector or place it on the projector. For instance, 
wrap the strap around the elevator foot to hang the 
lens cover (refer to the figure).CAUTION

Setting up
Install the projector according to the environment and manner the projector will be used in.
Arrangement
Refer to the illustrations and tables below to determine screen size and projection distance.
The values shown in the table are calculated for a full size screen: 1024 x 768
  a  Screen size (diagonal)    b  Projection distance (±8%)
 c1 , c2  Screen height 
Setting up
•  The screen position may shift after installation if the projector is suspended from the 
ceiling or other location due to the flexibility of the plastic projector body. If readjustment 
is necessary, consult with your dealer or service personnel.
•  The projected image position and/or focus may change during warm-up (approx. 30 
minutes after the lamp is turned on) or when the ambient conditions change. Readjust 
the image position and/or focus as necessary.
•  Since the projector features an ultra short throw, be aware that it is required to select a 
screen carefully to have better performance.
- 
A soft screen such as a pull-down screen may cause serious distortion of a projected image. 
A hard screen such as a board screen is recommended for use with this projector.
- A high-gain screen such as a bead screen that has narrow viewing angle is not suitable 
for this projector. A low-gain screen (around 1.0) such as a matte screen that has wide 
viewing angle is recommended for use with this projector.
- A screen with a weave pattern may cause moiré on the projected image, which is not a 
failure of the projector. A screen that has less moiré effects is recommended for use with 
this projector.•  
Keep a space of 30 cm or more between the sides of the 
projector and other objects such as walls. Do not place or 
attach anything that would block the lens or vent holes.
•  For the case of installation in a special state such as 
ceiling mount, the specified mounting accessories and 
service may be required. Before installing the projector, 
consult your dealer about your installation.

as a wobbly or inclined stand.
•  Do not place the projector on its side, front or rear position. 
•  Consult with your dealer before a special installation such as suspending from 
a ceiling or somewhere else.
►Place the projector in a cool place, and ensure that there is sufficient 
ventilation. The high temperature of the projector could cause fire, burns and/or 
malfunction of the projector.
•  Do not place or attach anything that would block the lens or vent holes.

•  Do not place anything that may be sucked into or stick to the vents on the bottom 
of the projector. This projector has some intake vents also on the bottom.

wet or inserting liquid into the projector could cause fire, electric shock and/or 
malfunction of the projector.
•  Do not place the projector in a bathroom or the outdoors.
•  Do not place anything containing liquid near the projector.

sensor.
►Do not place the product in a place where radio interference may be caused.
