2. Plug the other end of the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.

3. Connecting Input Sources

Connect your video source (e.g., computer, Blu-ray player) to the appropriate input port on the projector's rear panel (refer to Figure 2).

• HDMI: For digital video and audio.
• VGA: For analog computer video. Connect an audio cable separately if needed.
• S-Video/Composite: For standard definition video sources.

4. Initial Power On

1. Press the Power button on the projector's control panel or remote control.
2. The power indicator light will change, and the projector will begin its startup sequence.

Input Source Selection

Press the Source button on the control panel or remote control to cycle through available input sources (HDMI, VGA1, VGA2, S-Video, Video).

• Aspect Ratio: Select the appropriate aspect ratio (e.g., 16:10, 4:3) from the OSD menu to match your content.
• Keystone Correction: If the image appears trapezoidal, use the keystone correction function (often a dedicated button or in the OSD) to square the image.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Projector

• Casing: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the projector casing. For stubborn stains, dampen the cloth slightly with water and a mild detergent, then wipe dry.
• Lens: Use a professional lens cleaning cloth and lens cleaning solution. Avoid abrasive materials or excessive pressure.
• Ventilation: Periodically check and clean the ventilation grilles to ensure proper airflow. Use a soft brush or compressed air to remove dust.

Lamp Replacement

The Boxlight P8 WX35NXT uses a DLP light source, which typically has a very long lifespan and does not require frequent lamp replacement like traditional projectors. If a light source issue occurs, contact technical support.
