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, uses, 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
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off

Projector Setup

Power

Plug the AC/DC power adapter (included) into a standard wall outlet and the DC power
input on the rear of the unit. After connecting power, please allow approximately 5
seconds to pass before powering the unit ON.

Projector Placement

For best results, place the projector in a dark room or other dimly lit area. The projector will display a screen size from
30˝ to 150˝. Adjust the projector angle and distance to best suit your needs.

Use the unit with a dedicated projector screen for best picture resolution. If placing the projector behind the viewing
screen (unit in front of/projecting toward viewers), a special screen will be required. Projector screens are not included.
If you are not using the unit with a screen, a smooth, white or lightly colored surface will provide the best results.

Angle Adjustment

Connecting to Other Devices

Pairing to Bluetooth Wireless Speakers or Sound Bar

NOTE: Bluetooth is OFF by default when the projector first powers ON. Bluetooth can be turned ON or OFF from
the OPTIONS Menu.

1. Enable Bluetooth on the receiver (external speakers, sound bar, etc.) to which you wish to connect. Devices such
as smartphones, tablets, or computers are not Bluetooth receivers and will not connect to the projector. To eliminate
confusion, you should disable Bluetooth on all receivers to which you do not wish to connect.

2. Power on the projector and make sure the projector's Bluetooth is ON (see note above). The projector will begin
searching for nearby Bluetooth devices to connect to, and will automatically initiate pairing.

3. When successfully paired, the Bluetooth receiver should indicate it is connected, usually with a chime or other
audible noise. Check the user manual on your Bluetooth receiver for more information.

4. When successfully connected, the projector will display the Bluetooth receiver's name on the top right portion
of the Main Menu screen, and sound played from the projector will be heard through the Bluetooth receiver.

After initial pairing, the projector and the Bluetooth speakers will stay paired unless unpaired manually by the user, or
erased due to a reset of either device. If this occurs or you find either unit is unable to connect, repeat the above steps.
