Installation

The projection lens is shipped separately from the projector. Proceed as follows to install the projection lens:

1.Remove the lens plug from the lens opening in the projector.

2.Place the lens cap on the projection lens to protect it from being damaged during the installation process.

3.Remove the rear cap from the lens. This protective cap is only used during shipping to protect the lens from damage.

4.Slide the new lens into the lens opening of the projector. Make sure to align the connector on the side of the lens with the connector assembly on the lens retaining ring; see Figure 3-6.

As you connect the lens, you may have to re-align it slightly until the tabs on the lens fit into the slots in the lens retaining ring.

This flexibility ensures that no matter the space, users can achieve a perfectly aligned and geometrically accurate image.
