The projector features a compact design, making it highly portable. It includes a short-focal lens for flexible placement, a built-in speaker, and various ports for connectivity. The top panel houses intuitive controls for easy navigation.

Setup

1. Power Connection

Connect the supplied power adapter to the projector's DC input port and then plug it into a power outlet.

2. Placement and Projection

Place the projector on a stable, flat surface. Thanks to its short-focal lens, the projector can project a large image from a short distance, ranging from 1.8 feet (for a 21-inch screen) up to 5 feet or more for larger screens. For optimal viewing, a dark environment is recommended.

3. Focus and Keystone Correction

Adjust the focus ring on the lens until the image is clear. If the image appears trapezoidal, use the keystone correction features:

• ±15° Vertical Keystone Correction: Adjusts vertical distortion.
• 4P Keystone Correction: Allows individual adjustment of all four corners of the projected image for precise alignment.
• 4D Keystone Correction: Provides horizontal and vertical digital keystone adjustments.

Use the remote control to access these settings. The 50% Zoom function allows you to reduce the screen size without moving the projector, adjusting from 100% down to 50%.

3. Wireless Connectivity (WiFi & Bluetooth)

The projector features 5G+2.4G dual-band WiFi and Bluetooth 5.1 for seamless wireless connections.
