Installing or Removing the Optional Lens 
Caution: 
y  Do not shake or place excessive pressure on the projector or the lens co mponents as the projector 
and lens components contain precision parts. 
y When shipping the projector with  the optional lens, remove the optional lens before shipping the 
projector. The lens and the lens shift mec hanism may encounter damage caused by improper han-
dling during transportation. 
y Before removing or installing the lens, be sure to tu rn off the projector, wait until the cooling fans 
stop, and turn off the main power switch. 
y Do not touch the lens  surface when removing or installing the lens. 
y Keep fingerprints, dust or oil off the lens su rface. Do not scratch the lens surface. 
y Work on a level surface with a soft  cloth under it to avoid scratching. 
y If you remove and store the lens, attach the lens  cap to the projector to keep off dust and dirt.

is dropped. 
Do not use the projector in an environment where extreme temperat ure occurs. The projector must 
be used at temperatures between 41 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius) and 104 degrees 
Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius). 
Screen damage will occur if the projector is  exposed to moisture, dust or smoke. 
Do not cover the vents on the projector. Proper  ventilation is required to dissipate heat. Damage to 
the projector will occur if the vents are covered.

Making Connections 
Connecting Your PC or Macintosh Computer 
Enabling the computer’s external display:

activates the external display. 
To connect a PC or Macintosh computer to  the projector, refer to the following guide. 
1.  Connect a computer to the projector through  one of the three available input data connections 
before turning on the PC or the projector. The bes t signal order (from best to least suitable) is
