• Keep the projector in a clean, dry environment away from excessive dust or humidity.

• Do not block the ventilation openings on the projector.

6.2 Cleaning

• Lens: Use a soft, lint-free cloth specifically designed for optical lenses. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Exterior: Wipe the projector's exterior with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth.
• Vents: Periodically check and gently clean the ventilation openings to ensure proper airflow and prevent overheating.

7. Troubleshooting

• No Image/Power: Ensure the power cable is securely connected and the power outlet is functional. Press the power button on the projector or remote.
• Blurry Image: Adjust the manual focus ring on the projector. Ensure the projection surface is flat and the projector is within the recommended projection distance.
• Image Not Rectangular: The projector has auto keystone correction. If the image is still distorted, try repositioning the projector or manually adjusting the keystone if an option is available in the menu.
• No Sound: Check the volume settings on the projector and the connected device. If using Bluetooth, ensure it's correctly paired with an external speaker. If using wired connection, check the audio cable.
