6. Display Adjustment
6.1 Focus Adjustment
Rotate the focus ring located near the projector lens until the projected image appears sharp and clear. This adjustment compensates for different projection distances.
6.2 Keystone Correction
If the projected image appears trapezoidal (wider at the top or bottom), use the keystone correction dial (usually located near the focus ring) to adjust the image geometry. This corrects the distortion when the projector is not perfectly perpendicular to the screen. The projector supports ±30 degrees keystone correction.

7. Maintenance
7.1 Cleaning
- Lens: Use a soft, lint-free cloth specifically designed for optical lenses. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
- Projector Body: Wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure no liquid enters the device.
- Ventilation Ports: Regularly check and clean the ventilation ports to prevent dust buildup, which can affect cooling performance. Use a soft brush or compressed air.
7.2 Lamp Life
The projector's LED lamp has an estimated lifespan of 150,000 hours, providing long-term, consistent performance without frequent lamp replacements.
7.3 Cooling System
The projector features an optimized cooling system to maintain stable operating temperatures and minimize fan noise. Ensure proper airflow around the projector by not blocking the ventilation openings.
