Install the Projector in a Right Spot
It is best to use the projector in a dark, light-controlled room. Watching at night is preferred.
Choose a 1/4 inch mount (tripod standard) if you are mounting it on a wall, ceiling, or tripod.
Do not block the intake or exhaust vent
Avoid hot and humid sites
Avoid smoke and dust
Don't install near smoke detectors — heat may cause sensor failure
Don't install near AC vents — this may cause overheating
