The AAXA P4 Wi-Fi runs the Windows CE operating system. All Standard Functions can be found on the
Home Screen and can be manipulated with the keypad on the projector. Because we dislike locked de­vices, rather than locking the Windows CE Desktop we have decided to leave this function unlocked. This
allows users to enjoy the full capabilities of the Windows CE operating system. However if you choose to
access the desktop, please make sure you know what you are doing. It is very easy to damage or corrupt
the projector or the operating system through the Windows Desktop. AAXA does not support 3rd party
applications and any adjustments to the desktop. You are on your own here – please access the Windows
Desktop at your own risk.

Windows CE Desktop

Notice: Accessing the desktop allows the user to manipulate the le system including installation of applica-
tions and manipulation of the OS control panel. Improper use can result in corruption and/or damage to the
Operating System. AAXA Technologies does NOT provide technical support for Operating System issues.
ACCESS AT YOUR OWN RISK! Use of desktop requires a mouse and keyboard. Please visit our webpage
for more information
