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.
You can also use a commercially available mount compatible with the VESA Mounting Interface Standard (3.95 × 3.95 inches [100 × 100 mm]).
When using a ceiling mount, use commercially available M4 screws (up to a depth of 0.35 inches [9 mm]) to attach the mount to the projector.
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.
