• Vent A on the bottom of the main unit takes in air to cool the inside of the projector. As air is taken in by large suction force, cloth or paper may be sucked in against the vent. If this happens, the temperature inside may build up, and cause an accident or failure.
Otherwise, image quality may deteriorate as dirt builds up on the lens, mirrors and other optical components. • Do not install the projector in a small room with poor air circulation or any place where the air vents may be blocked.
■ Typical Installation 1. Select the installation site Place the projector on an even and stable surface such as a table. 2. Connect the power cord (supplied), and press the button.) 90° 3. Turn the direction of the lens so that it is perpendicular to the screen.
• When keystone compensation is performed, the resolution at the edges of the projected image is reduced, making small characters difficult to read. To prevent this, place the projector on as level a surface as possible, and set the Keystone menu to “0” (No compensation).
