Things to note when installing projectors
• Leave sufficient space on the left and right of the projector so that the intake and exhaust vents of the projector are not ob-
structed. When the intake and exhaust vents are obstructed, the temperature inside the projector will rise and this may result 
in a malfunction.
• Please do not pile up the projectors directly on top of one another when installing them. When the projectors are piled up on 
top of one another, they may fall down, resulting in damage and failure.
• Installation example when using two projectors
  The following installation is recommended when combining the installation of two projectors for multi-screen projection. Please 
leave a space of at least 10 cm between the the intake/exhaust vent and the wall.
