M1X Connecting Power and Devices

Connecting to Power

DC Power (Power Outlet)

1. Connect the power cord to the power adapter.
2. Connect the power adapter to the DC IN jack at the side of the projector.
3. Connect the power cord plug to a power outlet. When connected, the status LED will turn white.

Note: Charge the projector for 4.5 hours via the power adapter before using it in battery mode for the first time

IMPORTANT

• Use only the bundled power adapter to change the battery pack and supply power to your LED projector.
• Make sure your LED projector is connected to the power adapter before turning it on for the first time. We strongly recommend that you use a grounded wall socket while using your LED projector in power adapter mode.
• The socket outlet must be easily accessible and near your LED projector.
• To disconnect your LED projector from its main power supply, unplug your LED projector from the power socket.

Power by Power Bank

The projector can also be powered by a power bank.

1. Connect one end of the USB Type-C cable to the USB-C port of the projector.
2. Connect the other end of the USB Type-C cable to the power bank.

Note:

• The power bank should be 45W (15V/3A) at least, and support Power Delivery (PD) protocol output. Additionally, at 15V/3A the projector can be powered on and charge simultaneously.
• Due to the IC protection mechanism, the USB-C charging function may stop briefly then continue later on.
