projector(perpendicular) to the projection screen and parallel to the
floor. If you use a media cart, make sure the wheels are
locked to prevent it from moving. 
Opening the casing of your projector could damage the
components inside and will void your warranty. Dropping 
or mishandling the projector can damage the optical path. 
Ceiling mountThe projector is capable of displaying inverted images 
for ceiling mount configurations, but special mounting
equipment is required for mounting the unit. A qualified
technician, responsible for meeting safety standards and
obtaining any and all required safety inspections, should
install this equipment.

projectorAlways use the handle to transport the projector.
For air travel, the standard carrying case with wheels is 
adequate for transporting your projector as carry-on luggage
only. If you check your projector through as regular luggage,
ship it in the optional ATA-style case only.

							Turning on the projector
Turn on the power switch located on the rear panel of 
the projector, beside the power port. After approximately 
30 seconds after the power is on, a solid blue image is 
projected onto your screen. Whenever the power is on, 
the green LED power indicator on the rear panel of the 
projector glows a steady green.
Note:You can detect a high-pitched sound as the color-
wheel and fans are reaching operating speed. Also, when
you turn on the projector, you can detect a slight, crackling,
electrostatic sound as the bulb illuminates. This is normal. 
It may take up to 10 seconds for the bulb to reach full 
brightness.
Caution:Never operate the projector if the air intake or
exhaust grills are clogged or obstructed, or if the electric
fans are not running.
Turn on your computer or video source. Select the desired
source for display by pressing the appropriate SOURCES
button on the projector control panel or remote control.
Your computer or video image then appears on the projec-
tion screen. The selected SOURCES button is backlit green;
all other SOURCES buttons are backlit red.
