Other Considerations Here are some other considerations and tips that can help you improve your installation: • Ventilation is an important factor when preparing a projection room. The ambient temperature should be kept constant and below 35°C (95°F). Keep the projector away from heating and/or air conditioning vents.

Mounting A few things to consider when mounting a projector: • Mount the projector on a sturdy, flat surface. Otherwise, you will have issues with tipping, movement, and image geometry problems. • Choose a platform that has a large enough surface area. The projector must be secured to the platform using all four of its mounting points.

Press and hold for approximately 1 second to turn the projector on or off with a POWER single key press. Or press followed immediately by if you want to guarantee the correct toggle (useful if you are unsure of the present status). When powering down, the cooling fans in the projector stay on for approximately 30 seconds before turning off.
