Attaching the screen material to the frame

1. Make sure the screen material and frame are both lying face down on a clean, dry, and non-abrasive surface.

2. Carefully unroll the material inside the frame. (Fig.3)

Please note the material will be noticeably smaller than the frame, as the material must be stretched to create a

sufficient amount of tension for perfect material flatness.

3. Attach the fix plates.

(1)

Stretch the material to the corner and insert the screen material’s edge in the groove of the frame. While

one hand holds the material in place the other hand snaps in the push plate (Fig.4-Fig.5).

Notes：

• Make note of the label to help distinguish

the back and front side.

• Unroll the screen material face down

• Keep the screen material as close as

possible to the frame and do not allow it to

scratch against any part of the frame.

2. Pull the material to the corner of the frame with your hand while your left
hand snaps in the fix plate on location ① (the third red dot).

3. Then insert and snap in the fix plate on location ②.

4. Next, move and position yourself on location ③，then pull the edge to the
frame and fasten plates on locations ③ and ④.

5. Finally, fasten the last fix plate on location ⑤. (Fig.8)

(5) Next, fasten a fix plate on the center of each frame side in the following order

I→J→K→L→M→N→O→P as shown in Fig.10.

(6) Fasten the remainder of the fix plates in the empty locations in the red markings to complete attaching the screen

material. (Fig.11)

Black backing for AcousticPro models

This procedure only applies to AcousticPro models. Disregard this section if your Fixed Frame does not include an

acoustically transparent screen material. The purpose of the black backing material is to block out any light

penetration that may reflect off of anything mounted behind the screen, which can cause distortion to the projected

image.

Interval markings reveal the best points for inserting the fix plates

(Fig. 12). The prongs on the fix plates insert to the lip on the back

of the frame creating a friction hold that will firmly keep the

material and black backing in place (Fig. 13-14).After the material

has been installed, the backing will lie over the back of the white

(Acoustic) material and then be held in place by the Velcro on the

fix plates (Fig 15).

2. Insert the Center Support Bar into the upper top groove on the back of the frame (not the one where the fix

plate inserts) with the bottom end near the approximate center point of the frame and rotate it in at an angle so that

both ends of the bar are in alignment with the groove (see Fig. 16 and Fig. 17 below for details).

Diagonal models 135” and below use 1 x Center Support Bar

Diagonal models above 135” require 2x Center Support Bars

3. Slide the top end of the bar into the top center point of the frame to complete the center support bar installation.

This will provide added stability to your frame and added tension to the material.

CAUTION

Please follow these instructions carefully to ensure proper maintenance and safety of your Fixed Frame Screen

1. When hanging the screen up, please make sure that no other objects such as power switches, outlets, furniture,

ladders, windows, etc. occupy the space designated for your Fixed-Frame screen.

2. Regardless if the screen is hung on or installed into the wall, make sure that the proper mounting anchors are used

and that the weight is supported appropriately by a strong and structurally sound surface just as any large and heavy
picture frame should.

(Please consult a home improvement specialist for the best advice on installation)

3. Frame parts are made of high quality velour-surfaced aluminum and should be handled with care.

4. When not in use, cover over the screen with a furniture sheet to protect it from dirt, grime, paint or any other
impurities.

5. When cleaning, use a damp soft cloth with warm water to remove any marks on the frame or screen surface.

6. Never attempt to use any solutions, chemicals or abrasive cleaners on the screen surface.&

7.&In&order&to& avoid& damaging&the&screen,&avoid& touching&it&directly&with&your&fingers,&tools&or&any&other&sharp& or&
abrasive&objects.& &
