SETUP AND INSTALLATION

Installing the projector

Your projector is designed to be installed in one of four possible positions.

Your room layout or personal preference will dictate which installation location you select. Take into consideration the size and position of your screen, the location of a suitable power outlet, as well as the location and distance between the projector and the rest of your equipment.

The projector should be placed flat on a surface and 90 degrees/perpendicular to the screen.

Note: The further away the projector is placed from the screen the projected image size increases and vertical offset also increases proportionally.

IMPORTANT! Do not operate the projector in any orientation other than a tabletop or ceiling mount. The projector should be horizontal and not tilted either forward/backward or left/right. Any other orientation will invalidate the warranty and may shorten the lifetime of the projector lamp or the projector itself. For non-standard installation advice please contact Optoma.

Projector installation notice

• Place the projector in a horizontal position.
  The tilt angle of the projector should not exceed 15 degrees, nor should the projector be installed in any way other than the desktop and ceiling mount, otherwise lamp life could decrease dramatically, and may lead to other unpredictable damages.
• Allow at least 30 cm clearance around the exhaust vent.
• Ensure that the intake vents do not recycle hot air from the exhaust vent.
• When operating the projector in an enclosed space, ensure that the surrounding air temperature within the enclosure does not exceed the operation temperature while the projector is running and that the air intake and exhaust vents are unobstructed.
• All enclosures should pass a certified thermal evaluation to ensure that the projector does not recycle exhaust air, as this may cause the device to shut down even if the enclosure temperature is within the acceptable operation temperature range.

Connecting sources to the projector

1. HDMI Cable
2. HDMI Dongle
3. USB Power Cable
4. Audio Out Cable
5. USB Cable
6. Power Cord

Adjusting the projector image

Image height

The projector is equipped with elevator feet for adjusting the image height.

1. Locate the adjustable foot you wish to adjust on the underside of the projector.
2. Rotate the adjustable foot clockwise or counterclockwise to raise or lower the projector.

Zoom and focus

• To adjust the image size, turn the zoom lever clockwise or counterclockwise to increase or decrease the projected image size.
• To adjust the focus, turn the focus ring clockwise or counterclockwise until the image is sharp and legible.

Note: The projector will focus at a distance of 1m to 9.8m.

Installing/replacing the batteries (for remote control 1) Two AAA-size batteries are supplied for the remote control.

1. Remove the battery cover on the back of the remote control.
2. Insert AAA batteries in the battery compartment as illustrated.
3. Replace back cover on the remote control.

Note: Replace only with the same or equivalent type of batteries.

CAUTION! Improper use of batteries can result in chemical leakage or explosion. Be sure to follow the instructions below.

• Do not mix batteries of different types. Different types of batteries have different characteristics.
• Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new batteries or cause chemical leakage in old batteries.
• Remove batteries as soon as they are depleted. Chemicals that leak from batteries that come in contact with skin can cause a rash. If you find any chemical leakage, wipe thoroughly with a cloth.
• The batteries supplied with this product may have a shorter life expectancy due to storage conditions. If you will not be using the remote control for an extended period of time, remove the batteries.
• When you dispose of the batteries, you must obey the law in the relative area or country.

Installing/replacing the battery (for remote control 2)

1. Press firmly and slide the battery cover off.
2. Install a new battery into the compartment. Remove the old battery and install a new one (CR2025). Ensure that the side with a “+” is facing up.
3. Put the cover back.

CAUTION: To ensure safe operation, please observe the following precautions:

• Use CR2025-type battery.
• Avoid contact with water or liquid.
• Do not expose the remote control to moisture or heat.
• Do not drop the remote control.
• If the battery has leaked in the remote control, carefully wipe the case clean and install a new battery. Risk of an explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
• Dispose of the used battery according to the instructions.

Effective range

The infrared (IR) remote control sensor is located on top of the projector. Ensure to hold the remote control at an angle within 30 degrees perpendicular to the projector’s top IR remote control sensor to function correctly. The distance between the remote control and the sensor should not be longer than 6 meters (~ 20 feet).

Note: When pointing the remote control directly (0 degrees angle) on the IR sensor, the distance between the remote control and the sensor should not be longer than 8 meters (~ 26 feet).

• Make sure that there are no obstacles between the remote control and the IR sensor on the projector that might obstruct the infrared beam.
• Make sure the IR transmitter of the remote control is not being shined by sunlight or fluorescent lamps directly.
• Please keep the remote controller away from fluorescent lamps for over 2 meters or the remote controller might become malfunction.
• If the remote control is close to Inverter-Type fluorescent lamps, it might become ineffective from time to time.
• If the remote control and the projector are within a very short distance, the remote control might become ineffective.
• When you aim at the screen, the effective distance is less than 6 meters from the remote control to the screen and reflecting the IR beams back to the projector. However, the effective range might change according to screens.

MAINTENANCE

Replacing the lamp (Maintenance personnel only)

The projector automatically detects the lifespan of the light bulb and when the light bulb is at its end, a warning message will appear on the screen.

When this message appears, please contact your local dealer or service center to replace the light bulb as soon as possible. Before replacing the light bulb, make sure to turn off the projector, unplug the power cord, and make sure the projector has cooled off for at least 30 minutes and the light bulb has completely cooled off.

Warning: If the ceiling is mounted, please use caution when opening the lamp access panel. It is recommended to wear safety glasses if changing the bulb when the ceiling is mounted. Caution must be used to prevent any loose parts from falling out of the projector.

Warning: The lamp compartment is hot! Allow it to cool down before changing the lamp!

Warning: To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not drop the lamp module or touch the lamp bulb. The bulb may shatter and cause injury if it is dropped.
