feet at the bottom of the projector as follows:
1. Stand behind the projector and support the front of it while you press the
purple release buttons located above the feet. This unlocks the feet so they
can move up and down freely. Do not let the projector drop.
u
Caution: Do not hold the projector by its lens. This can damage the lens.
2. While pressing the release buttons, raise or lower the projector until the
screen image is correctly positioned.
3. Release the buttons to lock the feet in their new position.
4. To fine-tune the height of the projector, turn the feet clockwise to raise the

Controlling the Projector
Normally you control the projector using the remote control. The buttons on the
remote control allow you to do the following:
• Switch between the computer and video images
• Adjust the brightness, volume, and synchronization
• Turn standby mode on or off
• Access the menus to adjust the image, audio, video, or display settings
(described in Chapter 3)
• Control your computer (described in Chapter 4).
The functions of the remote control buttons are summarized on page 25.
To use the remote control, always point it toward one of the two remote control
receivers. One is located at the front of the projector; the other is located on the
back. You can use the remote control up to 33 feet (10 meters) from the projector.
In addition to the remote control, you can control the projector by:
• Pressing the buttons on the projector’s operation panel, located on top of the
projector. These buttons duplicate the buttons on the remote control.
• Running the ELP Link software on your computer. This program contains
the same controls available on the remote control, including the menus.
See page 26 for more information.

description of these buttons. The buttons on the left allow you to access the

Monitoring the Projector
The three lights at the top of the projector monitor its operating status:
lamp light temperature light power light
Under normal circumstances the power and lamp lights are green and the
temperature light is off. (During standby mode, the lamp light is off and the
power light is orange.) Any time the status or operation of the projector changes
or whenever a problem occurs, the lights flash or turn orange. See Chapter 6 for
specific information about the meaning of the status lights.

							28 2  •  Using the ProjectorUsing Rear Projection
The projector can be set up for front or rear projection. In rear projection, the
projector is on the opposite side of the screen from the audience, as shown here:For rear projection, you must turn on the Rear setting in the Display menu. This
setting flips the image from left to right for correct viewing. See Chapter 3 for
information about the menus.
Because the screen is between the remote control and the projector for rear
projection, you need the optional lead wire to use the remote control. See
Chapter 1 for more information. If you don’t have the lead wire, use the buttons
on the operation panel to make changes to the menus.
