Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your projector, refer to the common problems and solutions below:

No Image Projected

• Ensure the projector is powered on and fully charged or connected to AC power.
• Verify that the video cable is securely connected to both the projector and the source device.
• Check the source device's display settings to ensure it is configured to output to an external display.
• Confirm that the correct input source is selected on the projector (if applicable, though this model is generally plug-and-play for detected inputs).

Dim or Unclear Image

• Adjust the focus wheel on the projector until the image is sharp.
• Ensure the room is sufficiently dark, as the projector's brightness (32 lumens) is optimized for low-light environments.
• Check the projection distance; moving closer to the surface will result in a brighter, smaller image.

No Audio

• Increase the volume using the projector's volume buttons.
• Ensure the volume on your source device is not muted or set too low.
• If using external speakers, verify they are properly connected and powered on.
