Operating the Projector Screen

The tectake Projector Screen features a smooth roll-up mechanism for easy extension and retraction.

Extending the Screen:

1. Gently pull down on the integrated pull cord or the weighted bar at the bottom of the screen.
2. Pull the screen down to your desired length. The screen can be continuously adjusted to various formats (1:1, 4:3, 16:9, etc.).
3. Once at the desired position, release the cord/bar. The screen will lock into place.

Retracting the Screen:

1. Gently pull down on the pull cord/weighted bar again, slightly further than its current position.
2. Release the cord/bar slowly. The screen will smoothly retract back into its casing. Guide it gently to prevent rapid retraction.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your tectake Projector Screen, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning the Screen Surface: The vinyl-coated fabric can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Use only mild soap and water if necessary, and wipe gently. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the screen surface.
• Casing Care: Wipe the metal casing with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust.
• Storage: When not in use, retract the screen fully into its casing to protect the surface from dust and damage.
• Mechanism: The roll-up mechanism is designed to be maintenance-free. Do not attempt to lubricate or disassemble it.

Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your projector screen.

Screen Does Not Retract/Extend Smoothly:

• Ensure you are pulling the screen straight down and releasing it gently.
• Check for any obstructions around the screen casing or the weighted bar.
• If the screen is fully extended, pull it down slightly further before releasing to engage the retraction mechanism.

Wrinkles or Waves on the Screen Surface:

• The integrated weighted bar is designed to keep the screen flat. Minor waves, especially when new, may diminish over time with regular use.
• Ensure the screen is hanging freely and not pressing against any uneven surfaces.

Chemical Odor:

• A slight chemical odor may be present when the product is new, due to manufacturing and packaging. This is normal and typically dissipates within a day or two in a well-ventilated area.

Loud Mechanism Noise:

• The retraction mechanism may produce some noise during operation. This is part of the design and does not indicate a malfunction.
