Effective Range

To ensure proper function of the remote control follow the steps below:

  1. The remote control must be held at an angle within 30° perpendicular to the projector’s IR remote control sensor(s).
  2. The distance between the remote control and the sensor(s) should not exceed 7 m (22 ft.).

Replacing the Batteries

  1. To open the battery cover, turn the remote control over to view its back, open the cover in the direction of the arrow.
  2. Remove any existing batteries (if necessary) and install two AAA batteries observing the battery polarities as indicated in the base of the battery compartment. Positive (+) goes to positive and negative (-) goes to negative.
  3. Replace the battery tray by aligning it with the base and pushing it back into position.
Replacing the Batteries
Note:
  • Avoid leaving the remote control and batteries in excessive heat or a humid environment.
  • Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the battery manufacturer.
  • If the battery is drained or if you will not be using the remote control for an extended period of time, remove the battery to avoid damage to the remote control.
  • Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions and local environment regulations for your region.


Choosing a Location - Projector Orientation

Personal preference and room layout will decide the installation location. Consider the following:

  • Size and position of your screen.
  • Location of a suitable power outlet.
  • Location and distance between the projector and other equipment.

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.

Using the Battery

The battery level icon    will show at the top right of the Home Screen. As the battery’s power level runs low, the screen will show a “low battery message”.

    Menu Option Description
    Color Mode The projector is preset with several predefined picture modes so that you can choose one to suit your operating environment and input signal.

    Brightest
    Maximizes the brightness of the projected image. This mode is suitable for environments where extra-high brightness is required (i.e. well-lit rooms).

    TV
    Optimized for viewing sports in well-lit environments.

    Movie
    Appropriate for colorful movies, video clips from digital cameras, or DVs through the PC input. Best for low-light environments.

    Low Blue Light
    Block high-energy blue light for a more comfortable viewing experience.

    Brightness The higher the value, the brighter the image. Lower values will result in a darker image.
    Contrast Use this to set the peak white level after you have previously adjusted the Brightness setting to suit your selected input and viewing environment.
    Color Temp Select the color temperature setting.

    6500K

    Maintains normal white coloring.

    7500K

    A higher, cooler color temperature than 6500K.

    9300K

    The highest color temperature; makes the image appear the most bluish-white.

    User Color

    Adjust red, green, and blue values as desired.

    NOTE: The Wall Color feature can help correct the projected picture’s colors to prevent possible color difference between the source and projected pictures if you are projecting onto a colored surface such as a painted wall which may not be white.
    Tint The higher the value, the more greenish the picture becomes. The lower the value, the more reddish the picture becomes.
    Saturation Refers to the amount of that color in a video picture. Lower settings produce less saturated colors; in fact, a setting of “0” removes that color from the image entirely. If the saturation is too high, that color will be overpowering and unrealistic.
    Sharpness A high value results in a sharper picture; a low value softens the picture.
    Gamma Reflects the relationship between input source and picture brightness.
    Light Source Level Select the suitable power consumption of the LED.

    Full
    100% power consumption.

    Eco
    70% power consumption.

    Menu Option Description
    Aspect Ratio The Aspect Ratio is the ratio of the image width to the image height. With the advent of digital signal processing, digital display devices, like this projector, can dynamically stretch and scale the image output to a different aspect than that of the image input signal.
    NOTE: Only supports HDMI/USB-C signal input.

    Auto
    Scales an image proportionally to fit the projector’s native resolution in its horizontal width. This is suitable for the incoming image which is neither 4:3 nor 16:9 and you want to make the most use of the screen without altering the image’s aspect ratio.

    4:3
    Scales an image so that it is displayed in the center of the screen with a 4:3 aspect ratio. This is most suitable for 4:3 images like computer monitors, standard definition TV, and 4:3 aspect DVD movies, as it displays them without aspect alteration.

    16:9
    Scales an image so that it is displayed in the center of the screen with a 16:9 aspect ratio. This is most suitable for images which are already in a 16:9 aspect, like high definition TV.

    HDMI Settings Select a suitable color range according to the color range setting of the connected output device.
    Color Range
    Range Description
    Auto The projector automatically detects the range of the input signal.
