Projector Placement Guidelines
To get the best results when projecting your images, it is 
important to position the projector at the proper height and 
distance relative to the screen.
When projecting from a table or desk, place the projector so 
the lens is aligned as closely as possible with the bottom of 
your screen:
When projecting from the ceiling, align the lens as closely as 
possible with the top of your screen:
Calculating Image Size and Projection 
Distance
The distance between the projector and the screen determines 
the actual image size. To determine the exact distance required 
for a particular image size (or to determine the size of an image 
at a particular distance), use the following formulas. 
(Remember that the size of the image can be changed by 
rotating the zoom ring.)
To determine the minimum and maximum diagonal size of an 
image when you know the projection distance:
oInches:
Maximum diagonal size = (0.6124 ´ projection distance) + 1.5264
Minimum diagonal size = (0.4556 
´ projection distance) + 1.1410
oCentimeters:
Maximum diagonal size = (0.6124 ´ projection distance) + 3.8771
Minimum diagonal size = (0.4556 
´ projection distance) + 2.8981

To determine the projection distance when you know the 
diagonal size of the screen image:
oInches:
Maximum projection distance = (2.1949 ´ diagonal size) - 2.5044
Minimum projection distance = (1.6328 
´ diagonal size) - 2.4923
oCentimeters:
Maximum projection distance = (2.1949 ´ diagonal size) - 6.3612
Minimum projection distance = (1.6328 
´ diagonal size) - 6.3304
For example, here are the measurements for three installations:
* For an image size of 300 inches, the projector may be up to 54 feet 
away from the screen, depending on the setting of the zoom ring.
Long Throw Zoom Lens Calculations
If you are using the optional long throw zoom lens, use the 
following formulas instead:
To determine the minimum and maximum diagonal size of an 
image when you know the projection distance:
oInches:
Maximum diagonal size = (0.4742 ´ projection distance) + 3.2489
Minimum diagonal size = (0.2849 
´ projection distance) + 1.8968
oCentimeters:
Maximum diagonal size = (1.2045 ´ projection distance) + 8.2521
Minimum diagonal size = (0.7236 
´ projection distance) + 4.8179
To determine the projection distance when you know the 
diagonal size of the screen image:
oInches:
Maximum projection distance = (3.5094 ´ diagonal size) - 6.6568
Minimum projection distance = (2.1090 
´ diagonal size) - 6.8519
oCentimeters:
Maximum projection distance = (8.9139 ´ diagonal size) - 16.9083
Minimum projection distance = (5.3569 ´ diagonal size) - 17.4038 
Projector Status Lights
The status lights on top of the projector tell you the 
projector’s operating status.
Caution: A red light warns you if a serious problem occurs.

Using the Remote Control  
The remote control uses a line-of-sight infrared signal. To use 
the remote control, point it towards one of the infrared  
receivers located at the front and back of the projector. You 
can use the remote control up to about 32 feet (10 meters) 
from the projector. (This distance may be shorter if the remote 
control batteries are low.) You must also be within a 
± 30° 
angle from the front or rear receiver.
Note: The projector may not respond to remote control commands 
in these conditions: ambient light is too bright; a certain type of 
fluorescent light is present; a strong light source (such as direct 
sunlight) shines into the infrared receiver; or other equipment 
emitting infrared energy is present (such as a radiant room 
heater). Correct these conditions to use the remote control or 
control the projector from a computer.
This table summarizes the functions on the remote control.   
Using the Control Panel  
You can use the control panel to control the projector instead 
of the remote control. However, you can program and access 
the custom features only with the remote control. The 
following table summarizes the functions on the control panel.

Connector Pin Assignments
The Computer 1 and 2 and Computer Out connectors are 
female video RGB, 15-pin micro-D-style connectors. The pin 
assignments are:
Cleaning the Air Filter  
Clean the air filter at the bottom of the projector after every 
100 hours of use. If it is not cleaned periodically, it can 
become clogged with dust, preventing proper ventilation. This 
can cause overheating and damage the projector. To clean the 
air filter, follow these steps:
1. Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable.
2. Turn the projector on its side so that the handle is on top 
and you can access the filter easily.
Note: Standing the projector with the handle at the top keeps 
dust from getting inside the projector housing.3. Pull up on the filter cover tab to release the filter cover. 
Remove the cover.
4. The filter is attached to the inside of the filter cover. It is 
recommended that you use a small vacuum cleaner designed 
for computers and other office equipment to clean the filter. 
If you don’t have one, use a dry, lint-free cloth.  
If the dirt is difficult to remove or the filter is torn, replace it.
5. Replace the filter cover when you’re done. Insert the tabs, 
then press down.
Replacing the Lamp   
The projector lamp typically lasts for about 2000 hours of use. 
It is time to replace the lamp when:
oThe projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.
oThe projection lamp indicator is either red, or flashing 
orange and red alternately. 
oThe message LAMP REPLACE appears on the screen when 
the projector lamp comes on. 
Warning:  Let the lamp cool before replacing it. Also, do not 
touch the glass portion of the lamp assembly. Touching the glass 
portion of the lamp will result in premature lamp failure.
1. Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable.
2. Turn the projector over so you can access the lamp cover.

4. Use a screwdriver, coin, or similar object to loosen the two 
screws holding the lamp unit in position. (You cannot 
remove these screws.) 
5. Lift up the handle and pull out the lamp unit.
6. Gently insert the new lamp unit by lowering it into position. 
Make sure it’s inserted securely. Tighten the screws on the 
new lamp unit.
7. Replace the lamp cover and tighten the cover screws. (Make 
sure the lamp cover is securely fastened. The projector turns 
itself off if the lamp cover is open.)
