Installation (continued)
Front projection, ceiling mounting
For ceiling mounting, you need the ceiling mount 
kit designed for this projector. Ask a specialist for 
installation. For details, consult your dealer.
•	 The	warranty	on	this	projector	does	not	cover	any	
damage caused by use of any non-recommended 
ceiling mount kit or installation of the ceiling mount 
kit in an improper location.
•	 When	using	the	projector	mounted	on	the	ceiling,	
set Image Reverse in the Installation menu to Mirror 
Invert. See page 26.
•	 When	the	projector	is	mounted	on	the	ceiling,	
images may appear darker than those projected in 
the case of tabletop mounting. This isn’t a product 
malfunction.
Ceiling mount installation
If you wish to install the projector using a ceiling 
mount, please use the screw holes as the illustration 
shows.
Important:
•	 Screws	are	not	included.	Please	obtain	the	
appropriate screws for your type of ceiling. (M4 
diameter)
•	 It	is	recommended	that	you	keep	a	reasonable	
space between the bracket and the projector to 
allow for proper heat distribution.
Caution:
•	 Installation	must	be	done	by	a	qualified	
professional. 
 When the projector is installed on the ceiling using 
the ceiling mount kit, it is recommended to hold 
the mount kit and the projector using a metal bar 
or wire in addition to the mount kit fixing screws 
to prevent the projector from falling due to an 
earthquake or other cause. For that purpose, use 
a metal bar, wire, or screw that bears a load of at 
least 55 kgf. When using a metal wire, secure one 
end to a screw hole marked with an arrow on the 
rear terminal panel and the other end to the mount 
kit. (Don’t use screw holes without arrow marks.) In 
this case, make sure that the screw is inserted in 
the projector at least 5 mm. The length of the screw 
should be 20 mm or shorter. Also make sure that 
no electrical current is flowing in the mount kit due 
to current leakage or other cause. 
Rear projection
Ask a specialist for installation. For details, consult 
your dealer.
•	 For	rear	projection,	set	Image	Reverse	in	the	
Installation menu to Mirror. See page 26.
Caution:
•	 Placing	the	projector	directly	on	a	carpet	impairs	
ventilation by the fans, causing damage or failure. 
Put a hard board under the projector to facilitate 
ventilation.
•	 Place	the	projector	at	least	50	cm	(or	20	inch)	away	
from the wall to prevent the intake vents and the 
exhaust vents that emit hot air from being blocked.
•	 Do	not	use	the	projector	in	the	following	locations	
and manners, which may cause fire or electric 
shock.
•	 In	a	dusty	or	humid	place.
•	 In	a	sideways	or	upside-down	position.
•	 Near	a	heater.
•	 In	an	oily,	smoky,	or	damp	place	such	as	a	
kitchen.
•	 In	direct	sunlight.
•	 Where	the	temperature	rises	high,	such	as	in	a	
closed car.
•	 Where	the	temperature	is	lower	than	+41°F	(or	
+5°C)	or	higher	than	+95°F	(or	+35°C	).
•	 Keep	foliage	plants	and	pets	away	from	the	
projector. The temperature around the exhaust 
vents and that of the cabinet on the top of the 
exhaust vents become high. Take special care for 
small children.
Important:
•	 Do	not	apply	force	to	the	lens,	because	the	lens	
may be damaged.
•	 Be	sure	to	use	this	projector	at	an	altitude	of	less	
than 1500 meters.
