Getting Started

Placement
Place this device on a stable, flat surface, and squarely point it to face the projection surface. For best results, the projection surface should be white and flat. The distance between this device and the projection surface must be a minimum of 30 inches (0.8 meters) and a maximum of 120 inches (3.18 meters) to get a projection image from 30 to 120 inches.

• It is unnecessary to tilt it towards the projection surface. You can correct the projection image with the built-in keystone correction.
• The distance between the device and the projection surface determines the projection image size. For the best result, set the projector between 63 and 104 inches away.
• You can also mount your projector on the ceiling.
