Projector Placement

You can install the projector on a wall, or place it on a table to project images.
You need the optional mounts when suspending the projector from a ceiling
or a wall, or installing it on a floor.
Note the following points when selecting a projector location:
• Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface or install it using a compatible
mount.
• Leave plenty of space around and under the projector for ventilation, and
do not place it on top of or next to anything that could block the vents.
• Place the projector parallel to the screen.
If you cannot install the projector parallel to the screen, correct
a
keystone distortion using the projector controls.
Warning
• A special method of installation is required when suspending the projector from
a wall or ceiling. If you do not install the projector correctly, it could fall and
cause damage or injury.
• Do not use adhesives on the fixing points for the optional mounts to prevent the
screws from loosening, or use lubricants, oils, or similar substances on the
projector; the projector case may crack causing it to fall from its mount. This
could cause serious injury to anyone under the mount and could damage the
projector.
• Do not cover the projector's air intake or air exhaust vents. If the vents are
covered, the internal temperature could rise and cause a fire.
• Do not install the projector on an unstable surface or in a location beyond the
weight specifications of the projector. Otherwise, it could fall or topple causing
an accident and injury.
• When installing the projector in a high position, take measures to prevent falling
by using wires to ensure safety in an emergency, such as an earthquake, and to
prevent accidents. If it is not installed correctly, it could fall causing an accident
and injury.
• Do not install the projector in locations exposed to high humidity and dust, such
as on a kitchen counter, in the kitchen, or near a humidifier, or in locations
exposed to oil smoke or steam. Doing so could cause fire or electric shock. In
addition, the oil content could cause the projector's outer case to deteriorate and
could cause the projector to fall off from the ceiling where it is suspended.
Attention
• If you are using the projector at altitudes above 1500 m, set the High Altitude
Mode setting to On in the projector's menu to ensure the projector's internal
temperature is regulated properly.

• Try not to setup the projector in locations subject to high humidity and dust, or
in locations subject to smoke from fires or tobacco smoke.
