Setting up the Projector for a Wireless LAN Connection (with the optional USB Wireless 
LAN Unit equipped) [WIRLESS LAN]
Important
•	 Consult	with	your	network	administrator	about	these	settings.
•	 When	using	a	wireless	LAN	connection,	attach	the	optional	USB	Wireless	LAN	to	the	projector.	(→	page	129)
[PROFILE][DISABLE]Wireless	LAN	connection	will	be	turned	off
[SIMPLE	ACCESS	
POINT]
Set	the	projector	for	simple	access	point.
Selecting	[SIMPLE	ACCESS	 POINT]	will	allow	 the	projec-
tor	to	create	 an	infrastructure	 network.	The	 IP	address	 of	
the	projector	will	be	set	automatically. 	
Select	"Obtain	 an	IP	Address	 Automatically"	 to	set	 the	 IP	
address	of	a	connected	computer.
[PROFILE	1]Up	to	two	 settings	 for	the	 USB	 wireless	 LAN	unit	can	be	
stored	in	memory	of	the	projector. 	(→	page	48)
To	recall	 the	settings	 from	memory,	 select	[PROFILE	 1]	or	
[PROFILE	2]	from	[PROFILE].
[PROFILE	2]
[RECONNECT]Retry	to	connect	the	projector	to	a	network. 	Try	this	if	you	have	changed	[PROFILE].
When	 you	connect	 with	your	 computer	 to	save	 your	profile	 and	select	 "Automatically	 connect	when	within	 range"	 from	
the	Properties	 tab	of	Wireless	 Network	in	Windows	 for	your	 selected	 profile,	your	wireless	 LAN	will	be	accessed	 under	
the	following	conditions:
•	 at	the	time	of	turning	on	the	computer	or	the	projector
•	 when	the	notebook	type	is	within	the	range	of	the	projector's	wireless	LAN	can	be	achieved.
Data	transmission	between	wireless	LAN	and	wired	LAN	is	not	possible. 	
In	the	[SIMPLE	ACCESS	POINT]	mode,	you	can	connect	up	to	20	terminals. 		
However,	recommended	number	of	terminals	is	approx.	10	for	normal	operation.

This	section	describes	how	to	set	up	your	projector	and	how	to	connect	video	and	audio	sources.
Your	projector	is	simple	to	set	up	and	use.	But	before	you	get	started,	you	must	first:
①	 Set	up	a	screen	and	the	projector.
②	 Connect	your	computer	 or	video	 equip-
ment	to	the	projector.
	(→	page	122 , 124 , 125 , 126 , 127 , 
128)
③
	 Connect	 the	supplied	 power	cord. 
(→
	page	14)
NOTE:	 Ensure	 that	the	power	 cord	and	any	other	
cables	 are	disconnected	 before	moving	 the	pro-
jector.	 When	moving	 the	projector	 or	when	 it	is	
not	 in	use,	 cover	 the	lens	 with	 the	sliding	 lens	
cover.

The	further	 your	projector	 is	from	 the	screen	 or	wall,	 the	larger	 the	image. 	The	 minimum	 size	the	image	 can	be	is	
approximately	 30"	(0.76	 m)	measured	 diagonally	 when	the	projector	 is	roughly	 48	inches	 (1.2	m)	from	 the	wall	 or	
screen. 	The	 largest	 the	image	 can	be	is	300"	 (7.6	m)	when	 the	projector	 is	about	 499	inches	 (12.7	m)	from	 the	wall	
or screen.
