Getting Ready
This section explains how to select a location for the projector, how to connect its cables, and how to
perform other operations required before using it.
Locate the projector on a desk, table, or stand that is firm and level. Make sure that you allow
sufficient space around the sides and back of the projector for proper ventilation. The illustrations
below show how the projector should be oriented relative to the screen for optimum projection.
Setup Precautions
z Use a conveniently located power outlet that you can reach easily when you need to unplug the
projector.
z Maintain a distance of at least 6 cm (2.4 inches) between the front of the projector (from which light
is being emitted) and the projection surface (screen). Maintain a distance of at least 30 cm (11.8
inches) between surfaces and the other sides of the projector. There should be no other objects
within the above distances from the projector. Particular care is required to keep objects away from
projector air intake and exhaust openings.
z Airflow from air conditioning equipment can blow the heat being exhausted from the area around
the projector’s lens in a way that causes heat ripples to appear in the projected image. If this
happens, adjust the airflow of the air conditioning equipment or move the projector.
