4. Setup & Installation

Follow these steps carefully for proper assembly and installation. Wearing the provided gloves is recommended throughout the process.

4.1 Assemble Inner Frame

1. Check Inner Frame Components: Verify all 6 inner frame sections and their labels. Ensure all labels are adhesive to prevent loss.
2. Connect Long Frames: Use the provided connectors inside the 1-A metal rods to assemble the long frames. Tighten the screws.
3. Connect Short Frames: Connect the short sides (1-C metal rods) with the long sides using corner connectors. Tighten screws, but leave some tightness for adjustment.
4. Install Support Rod: Align the screw holes of the support rod with those in the middle of the long sides. Save some tightness while tightening M4 screws for the support rod. Adjust the support rod for accurate installation, then fully tighten all screws.

4.2 Confirm Mounting Area

1. Mark Upper Brackets: Confirm and mark the highest reflection point corresponding to your projector's line. This point will be used for the Upper Wall Brackets, representing the highest hooking border of the inner frame.
2. Drill Holes & Install Upper Brackets: Drill holes at the marked positions and install the Upper Wall Brackets.
3. Test Upper Brackets: Mount the inner frame onto the installed Upper Wall Brackets to test fit.
4. Calibrate Horizontal Level: Use a gradienter (level tool) to ensure the inner frame is perfectly horizontal.
5. Mark Lower Brackets: Mark the positions for the Lower Wall Brackets, representing the lowest hooking border of the inner frame.
6. Drill Holes & Install Lower Brackets: Drill holes and install the Lower Wall Brackets.
7. Test Full Inner Frame Mounting: Test mounting the entire inner frame onto both Upper and Lower Wall Brackets. Insert the inner frame into the Lower Wall Brackets and pull up to ensure proper insertion for the Upper Wall Brackets.

4.3 Assemble Screen

1. Prepare Screen: Put on gloves. Carefully unroll the screen onto a flat, clean floor, ensuring the black part faces up. Be cautious to avoid any creases on the fragile screen material.
2. Position Inner Frame: Place the completed inner frame precisely on the center of the screen.
3. Insert Fiberglass Strips: Insert the 4 short fiberglass strips into the 4 holes at each end inside the 2 long sides of the screen.
4. Hook Tension Springs: Simultaneously hook tension springs for 2 vertices on the same long side, then proceed to the other long side. This prevents wrinkles caused by significant differences in protruded length. Do not cover the corresponding nuts for attaching the outer frame in the next step. Re-check whether tension springs are loose or lose elasticity, which may eventually cause wrinkles.

4.4 Assemble Outer Frames

1. Check Outer Frame Strips: Verify the condition of the outer frame strips. If they are not in good condition, contact the after-sale service team.
2. Align Frame Strips: Align the corresponding frame strips to the proper borders of the completed inner frame.
3. Attach Short Sides: Align 10-C metal rods to the short sides. Save some tightness while tightening screws for the short sides.
4. Attach Long Sides: Align 10-A & B metal rods to the long sides. Repeat the tightening process for the long sides.
5. Install Corner Protectors: Complete the outer frame by attaching the 4 corner protectors.

4.5 Mount Screen onto Wall

1. Insert Bottom Frame: Carefully insert the bottom inner frame of the screen into the Lower Wall Brackets.
2. Hook Top Frame: Hook the top inner frame of the screen into the Upper Wall Brackets, holding steady to release.
3. Caution: Please hold the screen steady to prevent harm to people during mounting.

6. Maintenance & Care

Maintaining your AWOL VISION projector screen is simple and ensures its longevity and optimal performance.

• Cleaning: The screen material is easy to clean. Gently wipe it with a lightly moistened soft cloth. No additional detergent is needed. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the screen surface.
• Dust Removal: Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to gently wipe away dust from the screen surface and frame.
• Storage: If the screen needs to be temporarily removed, ensure it is stored in a clean, dry place, protected from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your projector screen, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Wrinkles on Screen: If wrinkles appear after initial setup, release and re-install the tension springs. Ensure the inner frame is perfectly centered on the screen before hooking the springs. Verify that all tension springs are properly hooked and have adequate elasticity.
• Uneven Image: Check the horizontal level of the installed screen using a gradienter. Adjust the wall brackets if necessary to ensure the screen is perfectly level.
• Loose Frame: Ensure all screws on the inner and outer frames, especially the corner connectors and support rod screws, are fully tightened.
• Difficulty Mounting: Re-check the measurements and alignment of the wall brackets. Ensure the lower frame is inserted correctly before attempting to hook the upper frame.
