When the projector is subjected to these environments, the lens and filter must be cleaned more often. Periodically the filter should be replaced and the projector should be cleaned internally.
Example of a high-mount setup • A high-mount setup makes projection from an elevated location possible, without ceiling modifications. TOP VIEW SIDE VIEW Lens center Lens center Example of a ceiling-mount setup Before mounting the projector, be sure to contact your nearest Authorized Sharp Industrial LCD Products Dealer to obtain the manufacturer recommended ceiling mount bracket (sold separately). (AN-XGCM20 Ceiling Mount Bracket, AN-EP101AP Extension Tube).
Adjusting the Height of the Picture ■ When adjustments for the projector position cannot be made using the Lens Shift alone, or when the projector stand is on an angle, use the adjuster release to adjust the vertical angle of the projector. Minor adjustments can be made with the adjusters. Adjuster release Adjusters 1.
