Note: This operation can be cancelled by pressing a button other than the Power button.

Note: Leave the power cable plugged in for at least 2-5 minutes, or until the Ready LED stops flashing, to allow the projector to return to room temperature before placing the projector inside the soft case. Placing the projector into the case too soon after switching off the power could cause the projector to overheat.

Attention: Before moving the projector, be sure to power down the projector normally and disconnect the projector from the main power source.

Positioning the projector

To determine where to position the projector, consider the size and shape of your screen, the location of your power outlets, and the distance between the projector and the rest of your equipment. Following are some general guidelines:

vPosition the projector on a flat surface at a right angle to the screen. The projector must be at least 1.5 m (4.9 ft) from the projection screen.

vPosition the projector within 2.7 m (9 ft.) of your power source and within 1.8 m (6 ft.) of your video device (unless you purchase extension cables). To ensure adequate cable access, do not place the projector within .15 m (6 in.) of a wall or other object.

vPosition the projector the desired distance from the screen. The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen, the zoom setting, and the video format determines the size of the projected image.
