Note: Leave the power cable plugged in for at least 2-5 minutes until the projector returns to room temperature before placing the projector inside the soft case. Placing the projector into the case too soon after switching off the power could cause the projector to over heat. Attention: Before moving the projector, be sure to power down the projector normally and disconnect the projector from the main power source. Adjusting the projector height To adjust the projector height, complete the following procedure: 1. To raise the height of the projector, lift the projector as shown in 1 and press the elevator-foot buttons as shown in 2. The elevator foot drops down as shown in 3. 2. To lower the height of the projector, press the elevator-foot button as shown in 2 and push down on the top of the projector. 3. To make adjustments to the level, rotate the leveling foot as shown in 4. Positioning the projector To determine where to position the projector, consider the size and shape of your screen, the location of your power outlets, and the distance between the projector and the rest of your equipment. Following are some general guidelines: v Position the projector on a flat surface at a right angle to the screen. The projector must be at least 1.5 m (4.9 ft) from the projection screen. 2-2 IBM E400 PROJECTOR: User ’s Guide
v Position the projector within 2.7 m (9 ft) of your power source and within 1.8 m (6 ft) of your video device (unless you purchase extension cables). To ensure adequate cable access, do not place the projector within .15 m (6 in.) of a wall or other object. v Position the projector the desired distance from the screen. The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen, the zoom setting, and the video format determine the size of the projected image. Table 2-1. Diagonal screen size (m/in.)
