FAQS
Can I return this item if opened?
You should be able to go to your Amazon orders and follow the return procedures.
what battery does it require?
It charges by an outlet, so no batteries are required.
How is the picture against a dark wall (or background)? Does it look ok for presentations?
Depends on how dark the wall & how detailed you need the picture to be. I tried it on a dark brown wall in a dark room & I could make out a little detail but it’s almost impossible to read fine print. Especially if the wall is not smooth. But a medium or light brown (tan) wall works much better.

HDMI?
No, only through the hdmi cable. You have to buy a special cord 30 pin to hdmi and a mini hdmi adapter. The usb only works for a storage device reader.
