5. Troubleshooting

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

Problem	Possible Cause / Solution
No image or blurry image	Ensure the projector is powered on. Check the focus. The projector has auto-focus, but manual adjustment may be needed in specific conditions. Verify the projection distance is within the recommended range (e.g., 8.7ft for 100" screen). Check for any obstructions in front of the lens.
Image is trapezoidal or distorted	The projector features auto-keystone correction. Ensure the projector is placed on a stable surface. If auto-correction is insufficient, navigate to Settings > Projection to manually adjust H/V Keystone Correction or 4-Corner Keystone Correction.
No sound or poor sound quality	Check the volume settings on the projector and any connected devices. Ensure external speakers (if used) are properly connected via Bluetooth or 3.5mm audio jack. Verify audio output settings in Settings > Sound.
Cannot connect to Wi-Fi or streaming apps	Ensure your Wi-Fi network is active and within range. Double-check the Wi-Fi password. Restart the projector and your Wi-Fi router. For app issues, ensure the app is updated or try reinstalling it from the App Store.
Projector overheating or unusual noise	Ensure proper ventilation around the projector. Do not block air vents. Clean any dust from the vents and the HEPA filter. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
