Projector Installation Notice 
  Place the projector in a horizontal position 
The tilt angle of the projector should not exceed 15 degrees, nor should the projector be in-
stalled in any way other than the desktop and ceiling mount, otherwise lamp life could decrease 
dramatically, and may lead to other unpredictable damages. 
     
  Allow at least 50 cm clearance around the exhaust vent. 
  
 
  
 
 
  Ensure that the intake vents do not recycle hot air from the exhaust vent. 
  When operating the projector in an enclosed space, ensure that the surrounding air temperature 
within the enclosure does not exceed operation temperature while the projector is running, and the 
air intake and exhaust vents are unobstructed. 
  All enclosures should pass a certified thermal evaluation to ensure that the projector does not 
recycle exhaust air, as this may cause the device to shutdown even if the enclosure temperature is 
with the acceptable operation temperature range. 
About this manual 
This manual is intended for end users and describes how to install and operate the DLP projector. Wher-
ever possible, relevant information—such as an illustration and its description—has been kept on one 
page. This printer-friendly format is both for your convenience and to help save paper, thereby protecting 
the environment. It is suggested that you only print sections that are relevant to your needs.
