- Never open any cover on the projector. There is a high risk of electric shock.

- The projector is manufactured using high-precision technology. You may, however, see tiny black dots and/or bright colored dots (red, blue or green) that continuously appear on the projector screen. This is a normal result of the manufacturing process and does not indicate a malfunction.

- The remote control may not work in an environment where a lamp equipped with electronic ballasts or a three-wavelength fluorescent lamp is installed. Replace the lamp with an international standard lamp for the remote control to work normally.

- If installing as a ceiling type, use screws to attach the ceiling-type bracket and projector together. (1/4-20 UNC, Depth 5.5 mm)

Projection Distance per Screen Size

1 Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface, together with the PC or audio/video source.
2 Place the projector an appropriate distance away from the screen. The distance between the projector and the screen determines the actual size of the image.
3 Position the projector so that the lens is at a right angle to the screen. If the projector is not at a right angle, the projected image will look distorted. To correct the distortion, use the Keystone function.
4 Connect the power cord of the projector and the connected device to the wall outlet.

Ratio of upward projection: 100 %
