Setup
1. Power Connection
- Connect the provided power cord to the projector's power input port.
- Plug the other end of the power cord into a standard electrical outlet.

2. Placement and Projection Angle
The CLOKOWE Mini Projector features a 180° rotatable design, allowing flexible placement.
- Place the projector on a stable, flat surface.

4. Adjusting Projection Size
The projector can display an image up to 200 inches diagonally.
- Adjust the distance between the projector and the projection surface to change the image size. Moving the projector further away will increase the image size, and closer will decrease it.
- The auto keystone correction will help maintain image quality regardless of the projection angle.
Maintenance
- Cleaning the Lens: Use a soft, lint-free cloth specifically designed for optical lenses. Do not use abrasive cleaners or cloths that could scratch the lens.
- Cleaning the Projector Body: Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry one.
- Ventilation: Ensure the projector's ventilation openings are not blocked to prevent overheating. The projector has an advanced heat dissipation system, but proper airflow is still crucial.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the projector in a cool, dry place, away from dust and direct sunlight.
