Handle the projector with care to avoid excessive vibration and impacts, which may damage internal parts. Avoid transporting the projector with the adjustable foot extended, as this may cause damage. If using a wireless module, remove it before moving the projector to prevent damage.

What are the cautions when installing the projector?

  • Do not set up the projector outdoors, as it is designed for indoor use only.
  • Avoid locations where vibration and impacts occur, near the sea or areas affected by corrosive gas, near air conditioner exhausts, places with sharp temperature fluctuations, and near high-voltage power lines or motors.
  • Installation work, such as ceiling mounting, should be done by a qualified technician.
  • Allow the projection lens to thermally adjust by projecting images continuously for at least 30 minutes before adjusting the focus.
  • Do not install the projector at elevations of 2,700 m (8,858’) or higher above sea level, or in locations where the ambient temperature exceeds 40 °C (104 °F).
  • Do not tilt the projector body more than approximately ±30 degrees vertically or ±15 degrees horizontally.
  • Use the adjustable foot only for floor standing installation and adjusting the angle.
  • When using the four screw holes for ceiling mount, ensure there is no clearance between the screw holes and the setting surface by inserting spacers.
  • Use a torque screwdriver or Allen torque wrench to tighten the fixing screws to the specified torques. Screw diameter: M4, tapping depth inside the projector: 10 mm (13/32"), screw tightening torque: 1.25 ± 0.2 N·m.
  • Do not stack the projectors, support the projector by the top, or block the intake and exhaust vents.
  • Avoid heating and cooling air from the air conditioning system directly blowing to the intake and exhaust vents of the projector.
  • Do not install the projector in a confined space without proper ventilation.

What security measures should I take?
