How do I set up my projector?

• You can place the projector on almost any flat surface to project an image.

  You can also install the projector in a ceiling mount if you want to use it in a fixed location. A mounting plate is required when installing the projector on a VESA-compliant mount.

  There is no vertical or horizontal limit to how the projector can be installed.

  Keep these considerations in mind as you select a projector location:

  • Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface or install it using a compatible mount.
  • Place the projector parallel to the screen.
  • Leave plenty of space around and under the projector for ventilation, and do not place it on top of or next to anything that could block the vents.
  • Position the projector within reach of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.

  Make sure you read the safety instructions when placing or mounting your projector. See the link below.
