Adjusting the projector’s elevator
When the place to put the projector is slightly uneven to 
the left or right, use the elevator feet to place the projector 
horizontally. Using the feet can also tilt the projector

elevating the front side of the projector within 14 degrees.
This projector has 2 elevator feet and 2 elevator buttons. 
An elevator foot is adjustable while pushing the elevator 
button on the same side as it.
1. 
Holding the projector, push the elevator buttons to 
loose the elevator feet.
2. 
Position the front side of the projector to the desired 
height.
3. 
Release the elevator buttons in order to lock the 
elevator feet.
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.
CAUTION  ►Do not handle the elevator buttons without holding the 
projector, since the projector may drop down.
