Image Resolution 
1024x768. Screen resolutions between 1024x768 and 1280x1024  
are compressed to 1024x768. The projector cannot compress  
screen resolutions above 1280x1024. If your computer ’s screen  
resolution is higher than 1280x1024, reset it to a lower resolution 
before you connect the projector. 
Compatibility 
The projector is compatible with a wide variety of computers and  
video devices, including:
IBM-compatible computers, including laptops, up to 1280x1024  
resolution.

Usage Guidelines
 Do not look directly into the projection lens when the lamp is  
turned on. The bright light may harm your eyes.
 Do not block the grills on the projector. Restricting the air flow 
can cause it to overheat and turn off. If this happens, you must 
wait a minute before attempting to turn it back on.
  Handle the projector as you would any product with glass 
components. Be especially careful not to drop it.
  Avoid leaving the projector in direct sunlight or extreme cold 
for extended periods of time. If this happens, allow it to reach 
room temperature before use.
Transport the projector in a vendor-approved hard or soft case.

SETTING UP THE PROJECTOR1 Place the projector on a flat surface.
The projector must be within 10 feet (3 m) of your power  
source and within 6 feet (1.8 m) of your computer.
If you want to project from behind a translucent screen, set  
up the projector behind your screen. See “Rear Projection”  
on page 36 to reverse the image.
If you are installing the projector on the ceiling, refer to the 
installation guide that comes with the Ceiling Mount Kit for 
more information. To turn the image upside down, see  
“Ceiling Projection” on page 36. The Ceiling Mount Kit is  
sold separately; see “Optional Accessories” on page 50.
2 Position the projector the desired distance from the screen.
The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen and 
the zoom lens setting determine the size of the projected 
image. Table 1 shows example projected image sizes and  
minimum and maximum distances to the screen. 
The formulas for distance to the screen are:
Max distance (ft) = diagonal image size (ft) ÷.49 
Min distance (ft) = diagonal image size (ft) ÷.69

The projector is equipped with a lens shift feature that allows you 
to adjust the projection height (move the image along the wall) 
without moving the projector, while still maintaining a perfectly 
square image. Turn the lens shift knob on the side of the projector 
to make this adjustment (Figure 4).

The bottom of the image can move from half way below the pro-
jector ’s lens (Figure 5) to parallel with the lens (Figure 6). 
Example: With a 10’ image, at the lowest projection angle, the bot-
tom of the image is 5’ below the projector ’s lens; at the highest 
projection angle, the bottom of the image is parallel with the lens.

Once you know the diagonal image size, you can figure out the 
width and height using these formulas:
width (inches) = diagonal (inches) x 0.8
height (inches) = width (inches) x 0.75

Setting up the Projector
The following tables give the lens shift values for desktop and 
ceiling-mounted setups for various image sizes. The lower lens 
shift position represents the highest the projector can be above 
the bottom of the screen; the upper lens shift position represents 
the lowest the projector can be below the bottom of the screen.
When the projector is ceiling mounted, use the upper edge of the 
screen as the base line.
