Slide down to open the battery compartment.

①

To replace the batteries, slide to open the battery compartment, insert new batteries

②

(matching the polarity (+/-) indicated), and close the battery compartment.

You can correct the projection image with the built-in keystone

correction.

The distance between Nebula Astro and the projection surface

•

determines the projection image size. For the best result, position it between 40 and 80 inches away from the projection surface.

It is unnecessary to tilt Nebula Astro towards the projection surface.
