Projector Installation Notice 
 Place the projector in a horizontal position 
The tilt angle of the projector should not exceed 15 degrees. In addition, the projector should 
not be installed in any other way except desktop and ceiling mount positions. Otherwise lamp life 
could decrease dramatically, and may lead to other unpredictable damage. 
     
 Allow at least 50 cm (16.69 inch) clearance around the exhaust vent. 
    
   
 
 Ensure that the intake vents do not recycle hot air from the exhaust vent. 
 When operating the projector in an enclosed space, ensure that the surrounding air temperature 
within the enclosure does not exceed operation temperature while the projector is running, and the 
air intake and exhaust vents are unobstructed. 
 All enclosures should pass a certified thermal evaluation to ensure that the projector does not 
recycle exhaust air, as this may cause the device to shutdown even if the enclosure temperature is 
with the acceptable operation temperature range.
