5. Setup

5.1 Placement

Choose a flat, stable surface for the projector. The distance from the projector to the screen will determine the image size. Ensure there is sufficient space around the projector for proper ventilation.

5.2 Power Connection

1. Connect the power adapter to the DC IN port on the projector.

If the projected image appears trapezoidal (wider at the top or bottom), adjust the keystone correction dial (if present) until the image is rectangular. This corrects for the angle at which the projector is positioned relative to the screen.
