6.1. Cleaning the Lens
Gently wipe the projector lens with a soft, lint-free cloth or a lens cleaning kit. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive force.

7. Troubleshooting
7.1. No Image or Sound from Streaming Apps
Due to HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) agreements, screen mirroring may not work for content from certain apps (e.g., Amazon Prime Video, Hulu). To watch these, please use a TV Stick, Roku, or Chromecast inserted directly into the projector's HDMI port, or connect a laptop/computer via HDMI.
7.2. Blurry Image
Adjust the focus ring on the projector lens. If the image is still distorted, use the keystone correction dial to square the picture.
7.3. Fan Noise
A certain level of fan noise is normal as the projector's cooling system operates to maintain optimal temperature. Ensure the vents are not blocked, as this can increase fan speed and noise.
7.4. Connectivity Issues
Ensure all cables are securely connected to the correct ports. Verify that the correct input source is selected on the projector.
