Installation Methods
The projector can be mounted on a ceiling or placed on a desk. Also, it 
can be mounted at a tilted angle, so you can flexibly project images to 
various places.
Warning
•A special method of installation is required when suspending the projector from a 
ceiling (ceiling mount). If installation work is not carried out correctly, the projector 
could fall down. This may result in injury or accidents.
•If you use adhesives on the ceiling mount attachment points to prevent the screws 
from loosening, or if you use things such as lubricants or oils on the projector, the 
projector case may crack causing it to fall from its ceiling mount. This could cause 
serious injury to anyone under the ceiling mount and could damage the projector.
When installing or adjusting the ceiling mount, do not use adhesives to prevent the 
screws from loosening and do not use oils or lubricants.
•When mounting the projector on the ceiling, be sure to take measures to prevent it 
from falling such as passing a wire through the handles.Caution•Do not use the projector upside down.
