The projector supports short-throw projection, allowing for a 36-inch screen from just 0.8 meters away, up to a 236-inch screen from 5 meters. Adjust the distance to achieve your desired screen size.
2. Power Connection
- Connect the power adapter to the projector's power input port.
- Plug the power adapter into a wall outlet.
- Press the power button on the projector or remote control to turn it on.

Operating Instructions
1. Source Input Selection
Use the "Source" button on the remote control or projector to select the desired input source (HDMI, USB, AV, or Screen Mirroring).

- HDMI: Connect an HDMI cable from your device (e.g., laptop, game console, TV stick) to the projector's HDMI port.
- USB: Insert a USB drive into the projector's USB port to play media files directly.

4. Audio Output
The projector has a built-in Hi-Fi speaker. For enhanced audio, you can connect external speakers via the 3.5mm audio output port.
5. Sleep Timer

Maintenance
1. Cleaning the Lens
Use a soft, lint-free cloth or lens cleaning paper to gently wipe the projector lens. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive force, as this can scratch the lens.
2. Cleaning the Dust Filter
The C11 projector features a removable dust filter. Regularly remove and clean the dust filter to maintain optimal airflow and prevent dust accumulation inside the optical engine. Refer to the diagram below for internal components.

3. Ventilation
Ensure that the projector's ventilation openings are not blocked. Proper airflow is crucial for heat dissipation and extending the projector's lifespan.
4. Storage
When not in use, store the projector in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Use a protective cover to prevent dust accumulation.
