a) General information You can place the projector on a surface such as a table or other similar piece of furniture. Overhead mounting in front of or behind the projection surface is also possible. Refer to the next section for details. The requisite brackets are not included with the product. Suitable products are available from specialist retailers. 10Ensure that the ventilation openings on the projector are not obstructed or blocked during the installation/mounting process. The projector should be placed at least 10 cm away from other objects to ensure adequate cooling by air circulation. 11b) Determining the projection distance When setting up the projector, observe the correct ratio between the distance of the projector from the projection screen (e.g. screen or similar) and the image size. Refer to the following gure. Inaddition,bearinmindthattheambientbrightnesshasasignicantimpactonthevisibilityof theimage.Ifthebrightnessoftheprojectorbulbisnotsufcientforprojectingaclearimage, darken the room and/or avoid glare from strong sunlight. 1210. Installation and connection a) Overhead mounting

• Mount the projector with a projector ceiling bracket (not included with the product).

• Make sure that the load-bearing strength of the mounting surface and the fastening elements (e.g.screws)issufcient. Do not mount the projector in the vicinity of air conditioning, ventilation or heating systems. This can cause the device to overheat and power off. 13b) Wall mounting Wall mounting hole

• Use the wall mounting hole to attach the projector to a wall.

• In addition, make sure that the load-bearing strength of the mounting surface and the fasteningelements(e.g.screws)issufcient. c) Ventilation openings Do not cover the air cooling openings during use, as this may cause the device to overheat orevencauseare.Theremustbeacontinuousowofairbetweentheairinletandoutlet. Micro SD Lufteinlass Luftauslass Air inlet Air outlet 14d) Keystone correction Position the projector as perpendicular as possible to the projection surface. If the projector is not exactly perpendicular to the projection screen, the projected image will appear distorted. The image will appear wider (or higher) on one side than on the opposite side. To compensate for this, use the keystone correction on the device. This creates a distortion in the image that compensates for the existing distortion and creates a normal image for the viewer.

• Turn the Keystone selection wheel (3) to correct the image for an undistorted view. You can correct the image up to a maximum of ±15°.
