- Avoid turning on the projector immediately after turning it off as excessive heat may shorten lamp life.
• The actual lamp life may vary due to different environmental conditions and usage.
Operating in a high altitude environment
We recommend you use the High Altitude Mode when your environment is between 1500 m –3000 m above sea level, and ambient temperature is between 0°C – 30°C.
Do not use the High Altitude Mode if your altitude is between 0 m and 1499 m and ambient temperature is between 0°C and 35°C. The projector will be over cooled, if you turn the mode on under such a condition.

- Select High Altitude Mode and press OK to set High Altitude Mode to On.
- To leave the OSD, press until the projector returns to the home screen, or press to go back to the home screen directly.
Operation under High Altitude Mode may cause a higher decibel operating noise level because of increased fan speed necessary to improve overall system cooling and performance.
If you use this projector under other extreme conditions excluding the above, it may display auto shut-down symptoms, which is designed to protect your projector from overheating. In cases like this, you should switch to High Altitude mode to solve these symptoms. However, this is not to state that this projector can operate under any and all harsh or extreme conditions.
Securing the projector
Using the Kensington lock
The projector has to be installed in a safe place to prevent theft. It has a Kensington lock slot located at the rear of the projector which you can use to secure the projector via a Kensington lock cable.
Selecting an input source
The projector can be connected to multiple equipment at the same time. However, it only displays one full screen at a time. When starting up, the projector automatically searches for the available signals.
To select the video source:
I. Press ⊖ on the projector or your remote control to display the source selection bar.
- Press ▲/▼ until your desired signal is selected and press OK.
Once detected, the selected source information displays on the screen for seconds. If there are multiple pieces of equipment connected to the projector, repeat steps 1-2 to search for another signal.
The native display resolution of this projector is in a 16:9 aspect ratio. For best display picture results, you should select and use an input signal which outputs at this resolution. Any other resolutions will be scaled by the projector depending upon the Aspect Ratio setting, which may cause some image distortion or loss of picture clarity. See Aspect Ratio on page 67 for details.
Adjusting the projected image
Adjusting the projection angle
The projector is equipped with an angle adjust dial which changes the image height and projection angle.
To adjust the projection angle:
• Turn the dial to the right to slowly raise the front of the projector until the image is positioned as desired.
- Turn the dial to the left to slowly lower the front of the projector.
- The angle adjust dial works in the same manner when the projector is installed on the GSI Battery.
- If the screen and the projector are not perpendicular to each other, the projected image becomes vertical trapezoidal. To correct this, see Auto Keystone on page 69 for details.
- When the angle adjust dial is set high you will not be able to remove the projector from the battery. To remove the projector from the battery ensure that the angle adjust dial is set to a low position.
