Setting Up the Screen
➀ Grasp the main stem of the tripod with your right hand just above the
handle. Pull out plunger (A) slightly with your left hand, lift screen and
push down gently on the plunger. Legs will slide open.
➁ Pull out plunger (B) slightly and slide the extension tube up to the fi rst
stop, where plunger (B) will automatically engage.
➂ Rotate screen to horizontal position.
➃ If you want to use the built-in keystone eliminator, pull it out of the goose-
neck and swing it to horizontal.
➄ Pull the screen out of the case and hook the handle on the the dowel over
the gooseneck (or keystone eliminator).
➅ If you want to move the case up or down the stem, grasp the handle and
gently squeeze the two triggers (C) and (D) together. This allows the
handle to slide freely up and down the stem. When you release the triggers the handle will lock in place automatically.
➆ Pull out plunger (B) slightly and move the extension tube until screen is
extended to desired height.
NOTE: Viewing surface may be tensioned by moving the case down slightly
on the stem.
Open Screen
Using Keystone Eliminator
➀ If image is narrower at the top, use keystone eliminator to bring top of
viewing surface toward the projector.
➁ If image is narrower at the bottom, make sure keystone eliminator is all the
way back and use projector ad just ment to correct.
Taking Down the Screen
➀ Grasp the extension tube fi rmly with your left hand and pull plunger (B) out
gently with your right hand. Guide extension tube down until it reaches the
next to the lowest stop.
➁ Return tripod handle to its original position by squeezing the two triggers
together and sliding the handle on the stem until trigger (C) snaps into the
hole on the main stem.
CAUTION: Improper collapsing of the screen may cause the end cap
to crack. To prevent this from occurring, you must follow Step 2, and
move the handle up the main stem until it snaps into place in its original
position. If you don't follow Step 2, the endcap will hit the fl oor when the
screen case is moved into the vertical storage position. Repeated/forceful contact with the fl oor may cause the endcap to crack/break.
➂ Remove screen from gooseneck (or keystone eliminator) and allow screen
to retract gently into the case.
➃ Slide keystone eliminator back inside the gooseneck.
➄ Return case to vertical position and lower extension tube until the goose-
neck drops into the hole in the end cap of the screen case.
➅ Grasp the main stem just above the handle and lift the screen off the fl oor.
Pull up on the leg bracket until legs fold up completely.
