Notice
Before mounting on the ceiling, make

This projector is packed with a ceiling hanging
metal plate, 4 wall anchors, 4 sharp-tipped
screws, and 2 flat-tipped screws in the box.
To mount the projector on a ceiling, follow the
following steps:
1 Choose a ceiling and a location on the
ceiling for mounting the projector.
2 Use the holes in the ceiling hanging metal
plate as a template to mark 4 hole locations
for attaching the metal plate to the ceiling.
3 Use a suitable drill bit to drill the 4 holes in
the ceiling. The depth of each hole should
be approximately 3 cm.
4 Insert the wall anchors into the holes. You
may have to use a hammer to gently tap
the anchors fully into the ceiling.
