5Hold the ceiling plate in place over the planned mounting location to ensure that the holes in the plate line up with the marks you drew on the ceiling.
6Take the plate down and drill the two marked holes (you’ll drill the remaining holes after attaching the plate).
7Continue to the next section if you plan to use the extension arm. Otherwise, continue to “Install the Ceiling Mount” on page 37.
Attach the Extension Arm (Optional)
The projector’s ceiling mount is designed to let you attach the projector as close to the ceiling as possible. For most installations, this creates a clean appearance and makes the projector less likely to be bumped into. In some cases, however, you may want to attach the included extension arm, which lowers the projector by about 8 inches. This may help, for example, if you have track lighting that would interfere with the projected image, or if the screen is mounted lower on the wall and you want to bring the projector down to screen level. If your ceiling is sloped, you must use the extension arm, or the projector won’t be level.
Follow these steps to attach the extension arm:
1Use the included Allen wrench to remove the bolt shown below. The sections come apart.
2Remove the two bolts shown below and separate the components. Set aside the middle part; you will replace it with the extension arm.
Set aside this part (not needed)
