uneven to the left or right, use the elevator feet to 
place the projector horizontally. Using the feet can 
also tilt the projector in order to project at a 
suitable angle to the screen, elevating the front 
side of the projector within 11 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.

Adjusting the lens shift
1.  
Turn the  VERTICAL  adjuster fully counter 
clockwise. Then turn it clockwise and 
adjust the vertical lens position upward.
2.    Turn the  HORIZONTAL  adjuster clockwise 
or counter clockwise to adjust the 
horizontal lens position.
CAUTION   ►Operate the lens adjusters gently as the lens may malfunction
when subjected to shocks. It may need more strength to turn the adjusters near
the adjustment limits. Be careful not to apply too much strength. If the lens adjuster 
is turned excessively, it runs idle by a clutch mechanism inside the adjuster. 
Although it makes a clicking sound, it is not a malfunction. When the lens adjuster 
runs idle, the lens shift cannot be performed further. Turn the lens adjuster to the 
opposite direction to adjust the lens shift. When the lens adjuster is turned too 
quickly, it may make a clicking sound by a clutch mechanism. In that case, turn it 
slowly to adjust the lens shift.
・ When adjusting the lens shift to the maximal oblique direction, the periphery of 
the projected screen may be dark or a shadow may be cast.
・ When adjusting the lens shift vertically, perform it by moving the projected 
screen upward. If adjusting the lens shift by moving the projected screen 
downward, the projected screen may be adjusted slightly low.
NOTE  • When the lens adjuster runs idle 
with a clicking sound and it still makes a sound 
by a clutch mechanism even if it is turned to the 
opposite direction, turn the lens adjuster while  pressing it downward to perform the lens shift.
