Installation
Adjust the Projector Position
When you select a position for the projector, consider the size and shape of your 
screen, the location of your power outlets, and the distance between the projector 
and the rest of your equipment. Follow these general guidelines:
•  Position the projector on a flat surface at a right angle to the screen.  The projec-
tor (with the standard lens) must be at least 3 feet (0.9m) from the projection 
screen.
•  Position the projector to the desired distance from the screen.  The distance from 
the lens of the projector to the screen, the zoom setting, and the video format 
determine the size of the projected image.
•  For the fixed short lens, the image exits at a default angle. However , the lens 
shift feature makes the image offset variable.
•  360° free orientation operation:

Installing the Projector Lens
When handling the projector after lens installation, make sure the front lens cap is 
placed on the lens to protect the lens surface from potential damage. When carrying 
or moving the projector, do not handle by the lens. This may damage the lens, the 
chassis or other mechanical parts within the projector.
1. Center the lens: Ensure that the lens is at or near its center position. Attempt-
ing to remove the lens when at a large offset may cause damage to the lens 
assembly. Center the lens while the projector is switched on by pressing the lens 
horizontal or vertical button and then pressing “Enter”.
2. Turn Off the projector: Turn the projector OFF.
3. Wait for projector to cool down: Allow the projector to cool down into standby 
mode before replacing the lens. Remove power cord after the projector has 
cooled down and prior to replacing the lens.
4. Remove the lens: Press lens release button and rotate the lens counterclock-
wise by a quarter to release the lock. Remove the lens through the front of the 
projector.
5. Install the new lens: Fully insert the lens assembly straight into the lens mount 
without turning. Rotate the lens cap clockwise to lock the lens in place.
 Warning: Do not transport the projector with any lens installed.
