• Installing Batteries in the Remote Control

Projector Placement

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

Warning:
Do not mount the projector on a ceiling or a wall. It could fall and cause damage or injury. Keep these considerations in mind as you select a projector location:

• Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface.
• Do not place or install the projector vertically.
• 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.
• Wherever you set up the projector, make sure to position it squarely in front of the center of the screen, not at an angle, if possible.
• Position the projector within reach of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.
  Projector Setup and Installation Options
  Projection Distance

Projection Distance

The distance at which you place the projector from the screen determines the approximate size of the image. The image size increases the farther the projector is from the screen but can vary depending on the zoom factor, aspect ratio, and other settings.
Use the tables here to determine approximately how far to place the projector from the screen based on the size of the projected image. (Conversion figures may have been rounded up or down.)

• Check the status lights to confirm the projector is operating normally.
• Make sure all necessary cables are securely connected and the power is on for the projector and connected video sources.

•  Press the projector’s power button to wake it from standby or sleep mode. Also, see if your connected computer is in sleep mode or displaying a blank screen saver.
• If you are projecting from a streaming device, make sure it is powered by the USB power cable inside the projector. Turn on the connected streaming device or video source, and press the play button to start a video, if necessary.
• Make sure the connected device meets the HDMI CEC standard. See the documentation supplied with the device for more information. If necessary, set the CEC function for the connected device again and restart the device. Turn off the projector and the connected streaming device or video source, and then turn them back on.
•  Turn off the projector and the connected streaming device or video source, and then turn them back on.
• Press the Menu button. If the projector menu displays, there may be a problem with the connected video source, cable connection, or port.
• Check the settings on the Signal menu to make sure they are correct for the current video source.
• Adjust the Brightness setting on the Image menu.
• Check the Display menu to make sure the Messages setting is set to On.
• If the projector does not respond when you press the control panel buttons, the buttons may be locked. Unlock the buttons. Press and hold the power button for 7 seconds or use the remote control.
•  If the projector does not respond when you press buttons on the remote control, make sure the remote and projector are within range of each other.
