Although this projector delivers a high brightness quality output, final display quality
could be compromised if the projector is not properly installed. This subsection
discusses issues you should consider before proceeding with a final installation. Even
if you do not intend to use the projector in a fixed and permanent installation, this
subsection will help you to better understand what you can do to enhance display
performance.
Never lift or suspend a projector by its feet or any other component.
Remove the lens and securely wrap hoisting cabling and safety straps around the
entire projector. Whether inverted or not, attach to the proper Christie ceiling mount
only. Never suspend or “fly” this model.
NOTE: Mirage 2000/4000/6000 projectors cannot use a Christie Hoisting/Stacking
Kit for hoisting into place.
Mirage 2000/4000/6000 projectors cannot be stacked.
