Troubleshooting

• Use the source list well to switch source for different media functions.

to the USB hard drive.

• Before using the DoWiFi or DLNA function, make sure networking setup is
complete. AP Mode is recommended because of better bandwidth. Check
if your devices has connected to the correct AP (Access Point) SSID, IP
address and the correct password has been input (if the security function
is enabled). For wired display, check LAN IP address (if no LAN cable
plugged in, LAN IP is 0.0.0.0).

• Before setting up for the WiFi Display or DLNA function, make sure to
plug in acer USB WiFi adapter (optional) first.

• When you use WiFi display function, check status icon (like AP Mode,
Client Mode or LAN disabled or enabled) on the upper right corner of the
splash screen in the projector and wait a while for the network settings in
the projector to take effect.

• When you enjoy USB projection, make sure to plug in the USB cable to
your NB/PC and projector well. Then execute acer USB tool.

• This projector allows firmware upgrade via the USB handy drive (select the
MEDIA source and go to the Setup > Firmware Upgrade menu).
