3.1 Remote Control
To install batteries in the remote control:
Slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow to rem\
ove it.
Install two AA batteries with the correct polarity.
Replace the cover. 
1.2.3.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Notes on Batteries
Make sure that the battery polarities are correct when installing the ba\
tteries.
Do not mix an old battery with a new one or different types of batteries\
.
If you will not use the remote control for a long time, remove the batte\
ries to avoid damage from battery leakage.

Notes on Remote Control Operation
In most situations, you can simply point the remote control at the scree\
n which will reflect the IR signal from the re-
mote back toward the IR receiver on the projector. In some cases, howeve\
r, ambient conditions may prevent this. If 
so, point the remote control at the projector and try again.
If the effective range of the remote control decreases, or it stops work\
ing, replace the batteries with new ones.
The remote control may fail to operate if the infrared remote sensor is exposed to bright sunlight or fluorescent lighting.

3.2 Installation Considerations
Proper installation of your projector will ensure the quality of your di\
splay. Whether you are installing a projector tempo-
rarily or permanently, you should take the following into account to ens\
ure your projector performs optimally.
Installation Type
Choose the installation type that best suits your needs: front or rear s\
creen, floor mount or inverted mount. Table 3-1 
compares these various installation methods.
AdvantagesConsiderations
Front Screen, Floor Mount Installation
Easy to set up
Can be moved or changed quickly
Easy to access
•
•
•
Shares floor space with audience•
Front Screen, Inverted Mount (ceiling) Installation
Does not take up audience space
Projector is unobtrusive
Projector cannot be accidentally moved
•
•
•
Installation is more permanent 
Projector access is more difficult
•
•
Rear Screen, Floor Mount Installation
Projector is completely hidden
Projector is easily accessed
Usually good ambient light rejection
•
•
•
Requires separate room
Installation cost is usually higher

•
Rear Screen, Inverted Mount (ceiling) Installation
Projector is completely hidden
Usually good ambient light rejection
•
•
Requires separate room
Installation cost is usually higher
•
•
Rear Screen, Floor Mount with Mirror
Projector is completely hidden
Usually good ambient light rejection
Requires less space behind screen than other rear 
screen installations
•

•
Requires separate room
Installation cost is usually higher

Table 3-1: Projector Installation Options
Ambient Light
In general, minimize or eliminate light sources directed at the screen. \
Contrast ratio in your images will be noticeably 
reduced if light directly strikes the screen, such as when a shaft of li\
ght from a window or floodlight falls on the image. 
Images may then appear washed out and less vibrant.

Throw Distance
Throw distance is the distance measured from the front of the projector \
to the screen. This is an important calculation 
in any projector installation as it determines whether or not you have e\
nough room to install your projector with a de-
sired screen size and if your image will be the right size for your scre\
en.
You can quickly estimate the throw distance by taking the width of the s\
creen and multiplying it by the lens throw ratio; 
see Figure 3-2. The result of this calculation tells you roughly how far\
 back the projector should be positioned from the 
screen in order to project a focused image large enough to fill the scre\
en.
Estimated Throw Distance 
Throw Distance (TD) = Screen Width (w) x Lens Throw RatioScreen width (W
)
TD
Figure 3-2: Estimated Throw Distance
Two models of the H9080FD are available, one with 1.56-1.86:1 lens (PA0\
3500-002) and the other with 1.85-2.40:1 
lens (PA03500-001).  With optional zoom adaptors throw ratios of 1.24 \
– 3.0 can be achieved.
The standard H9080FD offers throw ratios between 1.85:1 and 2.40:1. 
With the optional, short-throw lens, the H9080FD offers throw ratios bet\
ween 1.56:1 and 1.86:1.

Vertical and Horizontal Position
Proper placement of the projector relative to the screen will yield a re\
ctangular, perfectly-centered image that com-
pletely fills the screen.
Ideally, the projector should be positioned perpendicular to the screen.\
The lens center should be aligned with either the top or bottom edge of \
the screen areas. The lens should be centered 
in the middle of the screen. See Figure 3-3.

NoteWhen installing, ensure that you use only UL Listed ceiling mounts.
For ceiling installations, use approved mounting hardware and M4 screws with a maximum screw 
depth of 8 mm (0.31inch).
The construction of the ceiling mount must be of suitable shape and strength. The ceiling mount 
load capacity must exceed the weight of the installed equipment, and as an additional precaution 
be capable of withstanding three times the weight of the equipment (not less than 48 kg) over a 
period of 60 seconds.
