CAUTION
•	 Perform	the	adjustment	from	behind	or	from	the	side	of	the	projector.	Adjusting	from	
the	front	could	expose	your	eyes	to	strong	light	which	could	injure	them.	
•	 Keep	hands	away	from	the	lens	mounting	portion	while	the	lens	shift	is	in	operation.	
Failure	to	do	so	could	result	in	hands	being	pinched	by	the	moving	lens.
Adjustment of the projector’s settings (Level adjusters)
The	projector	must	be	placed	square	to	the	screen	otherwise	ke ystone	distortion	may	appear	on	the	screen.	For	set-
ting	the	projector	perpendicular	to	the	screen	when	viewed	from	the	side,	utilizing	the	lev el	adjusters	equipped	at	each	
corner	of	the	projector	bottom.	Maximum	Adjustab le	length	of	the	le vel	adjuster	is	10	mm/0.39".
Example for adjustment

	adjuster
NOTE:
•	 Do	not	lengthen	each	of	the	level	adjusters	any	more	than	10	mm/0.39".	The	force	of	doing	so	may	cause	the	level	adjuster	to	
come off, resulting in damage to the projector.
•	 Pay	attention	to	lengthen	or	shorten	two	level	adjusters	at	front	at	the	same	time.	Same	for	the	rear	adjusters,	otherwise,	the	
weight of the projector is loaded on one level adjuster and it may cause\
 of damage to it.
