4.After making sure that the elevator feet are locked, put the projector down 
gently.
5.If necessary, the elevator feet can be manually twisted to make more precise 
adjustments. Hold the projector when twisting the feet.
►Do not handle the elevator buttons without holding the 
projector, since the projector may drop down.
►Do not tilt the projector other than elevating its front within 3 degrees using 
the adjuster feet. A tilt of the projector exceeding the restriction could cause
