Operating Your Projector
Focus and Keystone Correction
Adjust the focus ring on the projector lens until the projected image appears sharp and clear. If the image is trapezoidal, use the keystone correction feature (accessible via the projector's menu or dedicated buttons) to square the image. The projector supports both manual focus and digital keystone correction.

WiFi Connection (Screen Mirroring)
Navigate to the WiFi settings in the projector's main menu. Select your desired 2.4G or 5G WiFi network and enter the password. For screen mirroring from a smartphone or tablet, ensure both devices are connected to the same WiFi network. Follow the on-screen instructions for iOS or Android mirroring. Note that streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and Prime Video may require an HDMI connection via a streaming device due to copyright restrictions.

Maintenance and Care
Lens Cleaning
Gently clean the projector lens with a soft, lint-free cloth specifically designed for optical surfaces. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the lens coating.
Dust Removal
Regularly inspect and clean the ventilation vents to prevent dust buildup. Dust accumulation can impede airflow, leading to overheating and reduced performance. Use a soft brush or compressed air to carefully remove dust from the vents.
Storage
When the projector is not in use, always cover the lens with the provided lens cap to protect it from dust and scratches. Store the projector in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
No Image / Blurry Image
- Ensure the power cable is securely connected and the projector is turned on.
- Check that the selected input source matches the connected device (e.g., HDMI 1, USB).
- Adjust the focus ring on the projector lens until the image is clear.
- If the image appears distorted (trapezoidal), use the keystone correction function in the projector's settings to correct it.
No Sound
- Verify the volume level on both the projector and the connected source device.
- If using external speakers, ensure they are properly connected via the 3.5mm audio jack or Bluetooth and are powered on.
- If using Bluetooth, confirm that the projector is correctly paired with your audio device.
WiFi Connection Issues
- Ensure both the projector and your smartphone/tablet are connected to the same 2.4G or 5G WiFi network.
- Double-check that the WiFi password is entered correctly.
- Try restarting the projector and your wireless router.
Dust Spots on Screen
If you observe persistent dark spots on the projected image, it may indicate dust accumulation inside the optical path of the projector. This issue typically requires professional cleaning and is not usually user-serviceable.
