How do I set up my projector?

• You can place the projector on a flat surface such as a desk or table to project in a portable setup.

  You can also install your projector on a wall using the optional ELPMB75 wall mount (V12HB12010), or mount it from the ceiling or vertically on a table using a commercially available mount compatible with the VESA Mounting Interface Standard (100 x 200 mm).

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

  • If installing with the ELPMB75 wall mount, follow the instructions in the online Installation Guide to install the projector.
  • 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.
  • If you are using the projector at altitudes above 4921 feet (1500 m), set the High Altitude Mode setting to On in the projector's Installation menu to ensure the projector's internal temperature is regulated properly.
  • Position the projector within reach of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.
  • If the projector is not mounted, install the front adjustable feet and the rear adjustable foot and place it on a sturdy, level surface.
  • Place the projector so it squarely faces the screen, not at an angle. If you cannot install the projector squarely facing the screen, correct any resulting image distortion using the projector controls.
  • Try not to set up the projector in locations subject to high humidity and dust, or in locations subject to smoke from fires or tobacco smoke.
  • Make sure there is no strong light or sunlight shining on the projector or the projection screen.

  Projector Setup and Installation Options

  You can set up or install your projector in the following ways:

  Front projection from a table or portable cart

  
  
  

  Rear projection from a table or portable cart behind a translucent screen

  
  
  

  Mounted on the wall

  
  
  

  Mounted on the ceiling and projecting from behind a translucent screen

  
  
  

  Wherever you set up the projector, make sure to position it squarely in front of the screen, not at an angle.

  If you install the projector to a fixed location, turn on the Fixed Installation setting in the projector's Installation menu.

  Select the correct Projection option from the Projector's menu system depending on whether you're projecting from the ceiling, wall, rear, table, or portable cart. If you're projecting from a table or portable cart, make sure to install the projector feet before selecting the appropriate Projection option.

  Note: If the projector is installed at an angle, it should be installed by qualified technicians using mounting hardware designed for use with this projector. Install the projector appropriately to prevent it from falling down.

  Note: Install the projector appropriately to prevent it from falling down. Use M4 screws (up to a depth of 0.35 inches [9 mm]) to fix the projector's ceiling mount fixing points and the mounting hardware at the four points.
