Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Projector image is tilted or misaligned. | Adjustment knobs are loose or not set correctly. | Refer to the "Operating and Adjustments" section to fine-tune tilt, roll, and swivel. Ensure adjustment knobs are tightened after setting. |
| Mount feels unstable or wobbly. | Mounting screws are loose; mounting surface is not strong enough; projector weight exceeds capacity. | Check and tighten all ceiling mounting screws. Verify the ceiling's structural integrity. Confirm projector weight is within the 50 lb limit. |
| Projector cannot be easily removed from the mount. | Quick-release mechanism is not fully disengaged; security screws are engaged. | Ensure the quick-release lever is fully activated. Check if any security screws are tightened and loosen them if necessary. |
