Please do not upgrade your projector system to version 6.0. At present, system 6.0 does not support English. Ensure the Automatic Update option is turned off to prevent unintended language changes.

Maintenance
1. Cleaning the Lens
Use a soft, lint-free cloth specifically designed for optical lenses to gently wipe the projector lens. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive force.

Wipe the projector's exterior casing with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, slightly dampen the cloth with water, then wipe dry immediately. Do not use harsh chemicals.
3. Storage
When not in use for extended periods, store the projector in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Consider using the original packaging or a protective case to prevent dust accumulation and damage.
Troubleshooting
1. No Picture / Blurry Image
- Ensure the projector is powered on and connected correctly to the video source.
- Check if the auto-focus feature is working. If the image is blurry, try moving the projector slightly or restarting it to trigger auto-focus.
- Verify that the projection surface is clear of obstacles.
2. No Sound
- Check the volume level on both the projector and the connected source device.
- Ensure no headphones are plugged into the 3.5mm earphone out port if you intend to use the built-in speakers.
- Verify audio settings on the source device and the projector.
3. Language Issues After Update
If the projector's interface unexpectedly changes to Chinese after an update, it is likely due to an upgrade to system 6.0. As mentioned in the Important Notes, this version does not support English. To avoid this, ensure automatic updates are disabled. If this has occurred, you may need to connect a Global version TV box/TV stick to use an English interface.
