Rear Projection - Mitsubishi Electric DLP WD8700U User Manual

Setting up your projector (continued)
Front projection, ceiling mounting
For ceiling mounting, you need the ceiling mount
kit designed for this projector. Ask a specialist for
installation. For details, consult your dealer.
• The warranty on this projector does not cover any
damage caused by use of any non-recommended
ceiling mount kit or installation of the ceiling mount
kit in an improper location.
• When using the projector mounted on the ceiling,
set IMAGE REVERSE in the INSTALLATION 1 menu
to MIRROR INVERT. See page 34.
• When the projector is mounted on the ceiling,
images may appear darker than those projected in
the case of tabletop mounting. This isn't a product
malfunction.
• Ask your installation specialist to provide a breaker.
When you do not use the projector, be sure to shut
down the main power by the breaker.
• Do not install the projector where the exhaust vents
are exposed to air emitted by an air conditioning.
Such installation may cause a breakdown.
• Do not install the projector near a fire alarm
because it emits hot air from its exhaust vents.
Caution:
• Installation must be done by a qualified
professional.
When the projector is installed on the ceiling using
the ceiling mount kit, it is recommended to hold
the mount kit and the projector using metal bars
or wires in addition to the mount kit fixing screws
to prevent the projector from falling due to an
earthquake or other cause. For that purpose, use
metal bars, wires, or screws that bear a load of at
least 200 kgf. When using metal wires, secure one
end to the adjustment foot of the projector and the
other end to the mount kit. In this case, make sure
that no electrical current is flowing in the mount kit
due to current leakage or other cause.

Rear projection

Ask a specialist for installation. For details, consult
your dealer.
• For rear projection, set IMAGE REVERSE in the
INSTALLATION 1 menu to MIRROR. See page 34.
Caution:
• Placing the projector directly on a carpet impairs
ventilation by the fans, causing damage or failure.
Put a hard board under the projector to facilitate
ventilation.
• Place the projector at least 50 cm (or 20 inches)
away from the wall to prevent the intake vents
and the exhaust vents that emit hot air from being
blocked.
• Do not use the projector in the following locations
and manners, which may cause fire or electric
shock.
• In a dusty or humid place.
• In a sideways position, or with the lens facing
down.
• Near a heater.
• In an oily, smoky, or damp place such as a kitchen.
• In direct sunlight.
• Where the temperature rises high, such as in a
closed car.
• Where the temperature is lower than +41ºF (or
+5ºC) or higher than +104ºF (or +40ºC).
• For use in the HIGH ALTITUDE mode
· Where the temperature is lower than +41ºF
(or +5ºC) or higher than +95ºF (or +35ºC).
· For use in other than floor installation and
ceiling installation.
• Keep foliage plants and pets away from the
projector. The temperature around the exhaust
vents and that of the cabinet on the top of the
exhaust vents become high. Take special care for
small children.
Important:
• We don't recommend using the projector at an
altitude of 2700 meters or higher (When using
the product at an altitude of 2000 to 2700 meters
above the sea level, set the HIGH ALTITUDE MODE
to HIGH ALTITUDE.). Use at an altitude of 2700
meters or higher may affect the projector's life.
