Installation

NOTE

Due to various installation environments, the instructions provided in this user’s guide are for
reference only. Please consult a professional installation company for further installation and
safety advice. The installer must insure that proper mounting hardware is used to provide
adequate strength suitable for the installation. Elite Screens is not liable for any faulty
installations.

The Screen’s Top Black Drop is already set to its maximum drop distance. There is NO extra top black drop
in the roller. Please be aware of this as it will void the limitation of your warranty.

Individual modifications to this product are prohibited and will void the warranty with the
manufacturer. Please contact Elite Screens Customer Service for any questions.

NOTE:

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

However, there is no guarantee that the interference will not occur on a particular installation. If this
equipment causes harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more
of the following measures.

 Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna of the device which may be casing the interference.
 Increase the separation between the screen and the device’s receiver.
 Connect the equipment into a different power outlet other than the device.

1. Carefully unpack the screen.

2. Always handle the screen in a leveled position on a clean surface.

3. In order to protect the screen from exposure to stains, keep the screen out of contact with foreign

particles such as dust, sawdust, and/or liquids.

Regardless of the mounting method, the screen should be securely supported so that the vibration or
pulling on the viewing surface will not cause the casing to become loose or fall. The installer must insure
that the fasteners used are of adequate strength and suitable for the installation location.
