6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your projector, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No Signal Displayed | Incorrect input source selected; loose cable connection; device not outputting signal. | Ensure the correct input source (e.g., HDMI, Wi-Fi) is selected on the projector. Check all cable connections for tightness. Verify your source device is powered on and outputting a signal. |
| Unable to Connect Wirelessly | Devices not on the same Wi-Fi network; Bluetooth not paired; incorrect mirroring settings. | Confirm both the projector and your device are connected to the same 2.4G Wi-Fi network. For Android, ensure Bluetooth is paired. Check screen mirroring settings on your device and the projector. Restart both devices. |
| Image is Blurry | Focus not adjusted; projector too close/far from surface. | Rotate the focus ring on the projector lens until the image is clear. Adjust the distance of the projector from the projection surface. |
| Image is Trapezoidal | Projector not perpendicular to the surface. | Adjust the projector's angle using the robotic arm. Use the keystone correction feature in the projector's settings menu to correct the image shape. |
