Precautions on Where to Mount the Projector

Carefully read the warnings in "Safety Instructions / Support and Service Guide" supplied with your projector before starting the installation to determine a suitable place to install it. In particular, pay attention to the following items.

• Set the projector up in a location where direct sunlight or strong light from fluorescent lamps does not shine onto the receiver for the remote control. Strong light shining onto the receiver for the remote control may interfere with remote control operations.
• Install the projector so it is away from the air outlet of air conditioners or other similar devices. If air from an air conditioner blows directly onto the projector, the surrounding temperature increases and the projector may not operate correctly.
• Make sure there is a big enough gap between the projector and the wall. See the User's Guide supplied with your projector for details on the necessary distance. If the projector is too close to the wall, the surrounding temperature increases and the projector may not operate correctly.
• To limit the effect of external noise, we recommend that you position the projector so that the cable connecting it to a computer or other devices is no longer than 20 meters.
• The projector should be installed in a location that is free from dust and moisture to prevent the lens and internal optical parts from becoming dirty.
• Do not install the projector in a location beyond its operating temperature range. Doing so can cause it to malfunction.
• Closing the curtains in a bright room makes the projected image easier to see.
