Attaching a Lens

You can attach a compatible lens to the projector.

Caution:

Unplug the power cord from the projector before attaching the lens. Avoid touching the lens with your bare hands to prevent fingerprints on or damage to the lens surface. If dust or dirt gets inside the projector, projection quality deteriorates and it could cause a malfunction.

Be sure to observe the following precautions when handling.

Make sure the front of the projector is not facing up when you attach or remove the lens.
Remove the lens only when necessary.
Store the projector with the lens installed.

Pull the lens replacement cover off of the projector.
Remove the black lock lever stopper, then pinch the lock lever and move it to the Release position.
Insert the lens straight into the projector's lens socket with the white dot facing up.

Caution:

Make sure you do not get your fingers caught between the lens and projector.
Hold the lens firmly after it is fully inserted, then pinch the lock lever and move it to the Lock position.

Note: Make sure the lens is securely attached.
If you want to secure the lens more firmly, tighten the screw next to the lock lever with a 2.5 mm hexagonal wrench.

Note: The ELPLX02S and ELPLX02WS lenses are secured even without using the screw lock.
Replace the lens replacement cover.

Note: If you are projecting downwards, we recommend securing the lens replacement cover with M3 x 12 mm screws (not included).
Turn on the projector to perform lens calibration. When you see a message prompting you to begin lens calibration, select Yes.
Note: If no message appears after attaching the lens, perform lens calibration by holding down the Default button on the remote control for approximately 3 seconds, or you can go to Extended > Operation > Lens Calibration in the projector menu.

Note: Lens calibration helps the projector to correctly acquire the lens position and adjustment range, and can take up to 100 seconds to complete. When calibration is finished, the lens returns to the same position it was in before calibration. The ELPLX02S and ELPLX02WS lenses return to the standard position.
