described in this user manual. Physical injury or damage 
to the device or loss of data can result from improper 
handling. Take note of all warning and safety notes indi
-cated.
Setting up the Device
The unit is for indoor use only. The device should be 
placed securely on a stable, flat surface. Position all 
cables in such a way that no one will stumble on them, 
thus avoiding possible injuries to persons or damage to 
the device itself.
Do not plug in the device in moist rooms. Never touch 
the mains cable or the mains connection with wet 
hands.
The device must have sufficient ventilation and may not 
be covered. Do not put your device in closed cabinets 
or boxes.
Do not place the machine on soft surfaces such as table-cloths or carpets and do not cover the ventilation slits. 
Otherwise the device could overheat or catch fire.
Protect the device against direct sunlight, heat, large 
temperature fluctuations and moisture. Do not place 
the device in the vicinity of heaters or air conditioners. 
Observe the information on temperature and humidity 
in the technical data.

3 Initial Operation
Setting up the Device
Before installing your device, make sure that the 
projector is turned off and the power cord is 
unplugged from the power outlet.
You can position the device so that it lies flat on a table 
in front of the projection surface; it is not necessary to 
tilt it towards the projection surface. The device com
-pensates for the distortion from the slanted projection 
(pincushion distortion).
Check that the projection surface is appropriated to the 
projector. The distance between the projector and the 
screen determines the actual size of the image.
To change the size of the screen, just move the projec-tor towards or away from the wall.
The size of the screen (b) is comprised between 50 and 
100 inches depending on the projection distance (a), as 
described in the following table.
Connect Power Supply
1Connect the power cord into the socket on the rear 
side of your device (1).
2Plug the power cord to outlet on the wall (2).

Batteries of the Remote 
Control
1To access the battery, press to unlock the locking 
mechanism (1) and slide out the battery compart-ment (2).
