Setup

Place the projector on a stable, flat surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the device. For optimal viewing, position the projector perpendicular to the projection surface.
2. Power Connection
Connect the power adapter to the projector's power input port and then plug it into a standard power outlet.
3. Initial Power On
Press the power button on the projector's top panel or the remote control to turn on the device.
4. Focus and Keystone Correction
Adjust the focus ring on the projector lens until the image appears clear and sharp. Use the remote control to access the keystone correction settings (50) to ensure the projected image is perfectly rectangular. For zoom adjustment, utilize the 50% zoom function via the remote control to fit the image to your screen size without physically moving the projector.
Operating Instructions
1. Connecting Devices
HDMI Connection
Connect your device (e.g., laptop, TV Box, PS5, Nintendo Switch) to the projector using an HDMI cable. Select the corresponding HDMI input source from the projector's main menu.
USB Connection
Insert a USB flash drive into the projector's USB port to directly play compatible media files (videos, photos, music).
Wired iOS Connection
For iOS devices, connect directly using an official Apple Lightning to USB cable (not included). This method ensures stable and high-quality video and audio transmission.
Note: Due to copyright restrictions, streaming services like Netflix, Prime Video, and Hulu cannot be mirrored directly from mobile devices. Please use a TV Stick, Roku, or similar streaming device connected to the projector for these services.
2. Menu Navigation
Use the arrow keys and the 'OK' button on the remote control or the projector's top panel to navigate through the on-screen menu options and adjust settings.
3. Audio Output
The projector is equipped with built-in speakers. For enhanced audio, you can connect external speakers or headphones to the 3.5mm audio output jack.
Maintenance
- Lens Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth specifically designed for optical lenses to gently clean the projector lens. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the lens coating.
- Dust Removal: Regularly inspect and clean the ventilation vents to prevent dust buildup. Accumulated dust can impede airflow, leading to overheating and reduced performance. Use a soft brush or compressed air to clear the vents.
- Storage: When the projector is not in use for extended periods, store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, excessive humidity, and extreme temperatures. It is recommended to use the original packaging or a protective case to prevent dust accumulation and physical damage.
