Outdoor Antenna Grounding
- If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow the precautions below. An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come in contact with such power lines or circuits as death or serious injury can occur. Be sure the antenna system is grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) in the U.S.A. provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes and requirements for the grounding electrode.
Antenna grounding according to the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70
For USA
NOTE TO CABLE/TV INSTALLER
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820 - 40 of the National Electric Code (U.S.A.). The code provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of the cable entry as practical.

• Do not place the projector in a place where it will easily attract dust.
— This may result in fire. -
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.
- To install to the ceiling, attach the ceiling-type bracket to the projector with M4 x 8 mm screws.
- Do not overtighten the screws. It may damage the case, causing the projector to fall and cause a serious injury. (Recommended Torque: 4.34 \~ 6.94 ibf-in (5\~8 kgf·cm))
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 Edge Adjustment function.
4 Connect the power cord of the projector and the connected device to the wall outlet.
Ratio of upward projection: 100%
NOTE
- If the projected image looks distorted or bent, check to see if the screen is installed properly.

How to Install the Projector On a Tripod
• You can install the projector using a camera tripod.
• As shown below, you can mount the projector instead of a camera on the tripod.
- When stabilizing the tripod, we recommend using a locking bolt of standard size 4.5 mm (0.1 inches) or less. The maximum size allowed for the locking bolt is 5.5 mm (0.2 inches). (If it is longer than the maximum allowed size, it may damage the projector.)
CAUTION
- If you are using a tripod, be careful not to apply external force to the tripod. Doing so may damage the projector.
• Do not place the tripod on an unstable surface. - Be sure to use a tripod with a maximum load capacity of 3 kg (6.6 lbs) or more.
• To use the projector safely, position the tripod legs so that they are as wide and stable as possible and be sure to securely attach the projector to the tripod.
Kensington Security System
- This projector has a Kensington Security Standard connector as an anti-theft mechanism. Connect a Kensington Security System cable as shown below.
- For more information on installation and use of the Kensington Security System, refer to the user's guide provided with the Kensington Security System.
• The Kensington Security System is an optional accessory.
• What is Kensington?
Kensington is a company that provides safety systems for laptops and other electronic devices. Website: http://www.kensington.com

CAUTION
- Use the remote control within the specified range (within 10 m (32.8 feet)). You may experience communication failures when using the device outside the coverage area or if there are obstacles within the coverage area.
- You may experience communication failures depending on the accessories. Devices such as a microwave oven and wireless LAN operate in the same frequency band (2.4 GHz) as the Magic Remote. This may cause communication failures.
- The Magic Remote may not work properly if a wireless router (AP) is within 1 m (3.2 feet) of the projector. Your wireless router should be more than 1 m (3.2 feet) away from the projector.
• Do not disassemble or heat the batteries.
• Do not drop the battery. Avoid extreme shocks to the battery. - Inserting a battery in the wrong way may result in explosion.
USING THE PROJECTOR
Connecting the Antenna or Cable
To watch TV using an indoor/outdoor antenna, connect a wall terminal and the antenna port of the projector using an RF cable (75 Ω).
You can watch terrestrial or cable (analog, digital) TV. (The RF cable is sold separately.)
NOTE
• Make sure not to bend the copper wire of the RF cable (75 Ω). Turn the input jack to the right to fasten it.
- Ensure you use a standard coaxial cable (75 Ω, sold separately) when connecting to the projector input.
- For better image quality in locations where signal strength is low, purchase and install a signal amplifier (booster).
• A signal splitter is required if you want to use two or more projectors through one antenna.
- If you have any problems when installing the antenna, please consult a suitable retailer or the store where you purchased the antenna.
