Tilting the unit to the right or left

Avoid tilting the unit to an angle of 15°, and avoid installing the unit in any way other than placing on the floor or suspending from the ceiling. Such installation may cause color shading or shorten the lamp life excessively.

Blocking the ventilation holes

Avoid using something to cover over the ventilation holes (exhaust/intake); otherwise, the internal heat may build up.

For details on the ventilation holes (intake/ exhaust), see “Location and Function of Controls” on page 10.

Usage in High Altitude

When using the projector at an altitude of 1,500 m or higher, turn on “High Altitude Mode” in the INSTALL SETTING menu. Failing to set this mode when using the projector at high altitudes could have adverse effects, such as reducing

the reliability of certain components.

For details on “High Altitude Mode,” see “High Altitude Mode” in the INSTALL SETTING menu on page 37.
