2. Optimal Viewing: The screen's 16:10 aspect ratio is ideal for a wide range of content. For the best viewing experience, ensure your audience is seated within a reasonable viewing angle, typically directly in front of the screen.
3. Retracting the Screen: To retract the screen, gently pull the top bar upwards slightly to disengage the locking mechanism. Then, slowly guide the screen back down into its base. Do not let go of the screen suddenly, as this can cause damage to the mechanism or the screen material.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning the Screen Surface: Use a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with plain water to gently wipe the screen surface. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the screen material. Wipe gently in one direction to avoid streaks.
• Cleaning the Casing: Wipe the outer casing with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
• Storage: When not in use, retract the screen fully into its protective casing. Store the screen in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid placing heavy objects on the casing.
• Handling: Always carry the screen by its designated handle (if present) or by holding the base firmly. Avoid dropping or subjecting the screen to impacts.

7. Troubleshooting

Screen does not extend or retract smoothly:

Ensure there are no obstructions around the screen mechanism. Gently try to extend/retract again. If the issue persists, do not force it; contact customer support.

Image appears wrinkled or uneven:

Ensure the screen is fully extended and the X-frame support is properly deployed. Minor wrinkles may naturally smooth out over time with use. If severe, ensure the screen was not stored improperly or subjected to pressure.

Screen is unstable:

Verify that the screen is placed on a completely flat and stable surface. Ensure any adjustable feet on the base are fully extended and locked into position, and the rear X-frame support is correctly set up.
