Slide open battery cover at back of remote, insert correct sized batteries observing polarity markings and replace compartment cover securely.
What are the different ways I can position my projector?
The projector can be installed in four configurations: Front Table (on floor in front of screen), Front Ceiling (suspended upside-down from ceiling in front of screen), Rear Table (on floor behind screen with special rear projection screen), and Rear Ceiling (suspended from ceiling behind screen). A projector mount is required for any ceiling installation, and a special rear projection screen is needed for rear projections. (Page 5)
How do I connect an HDMI device to the projector?
Turn off the unit before connecting the HDMI cable. Connect the cable to one of the two HDMI ports (HDMI 1 or HDMI 2), then turn on the unit and wait for the power indicator to light green. Press the Source button to select the appropriate HDMI mode, and the video from your device will display on the projector screen. (Page 11)
What should I do if the projector lamp switches off after a period of time?
If the warning light indicator is red, the projector is overheating and automatically turns off. Leave the projector to cool for a few moments, then check that nothing is blocking the ventilation vents and clean the air filter if necessary. Turn on the projector again, and if the issue persists, contact your support provider at 1-800-968-9853. (Page 20)
How do I adjust the focus and correct keystone distortion?
Adjust focus by turning the Focus Adjustment knob while observing the image pixels near the center of the screen until they are clearly visible. To correct keystone (when the image is wider at top or bottom due to angled projection), use the Trapezoidal Adjustment knob to restore the distorted image to a rectangular or square shape. (Page 7)
What should I clean with and how should I maintain the projector?
Clean the projector only with a dry cloth. Do not block any ventilation openings. If spots appear on the screen, use a vacuum cleaner to clean the lens. If cleaning doesn't resolve the issue, contact your support provider for further assistance. (Pages 2, 20)
