Always refer to the included manual for model-specific instructions and safety guidelines before beginning any installation.

• Plan the mounting location – Choose a ceiling location that provides clear line-of-sight to the screen and accommodates the projector’s dimensions and throw ratio. Verify the ceiling structure can support the combined weight of the projector and mount (up to 50 lb). If mounting to to ceiling joists, locate sturdy anchors and follow local building codes.
