Built-in battery care
The capacity of the built-in battery diminishes
with time. You can prolong the life of the
battery if you observe the following points:
• Without a power supply, the projector
operates on the built-in battery. When the
battery does not have sufficient power, the
projector turns off. In this case connect the
projector to the power supply.
• Charge the battery regularly. Don’t store
the projector with a completely discharged
battery.
• If the projector is not used for several
weeks, discharge the battery a little by
using the projector before storing it.
• Keep the projector and the battery away
from sources of heat.
• If the projector cannot be charged after
connecting to the power supply, use a small
pin to press the reset key (a small hole)
located near the USB port of the projector.
Note about deep discharge of battery
When the built-in battery is in deep discharge,
it may take longer for the actual charging
process to start. In this case, charge the
projector for at least five hours before using it.
DANGER!
Risk of explosion with incorrect type
of batteries!
Do not try to replace the built-in
battery yourself.
Cleaning
DANGER!
Instructions for cleaning!
Use a soft, lint-free cloth. Never use
liquid or easily flammable cleansers
(sprays, abrasives, polishes, alcohol,
etc.). Do not allow any moisture to
reach the interior of the projector.
Do not spray the projector with any
cleaning fluids.
Wipe over the surfaces gently. Be
careful that you do not scratch the
surfaces.
Cleaning the lens
Use a soft brush or lens cleaning paper for
cleaning the lens of the projector.
DANGER!

Do not use any liquid cleaning
agents for cleaning the lens, to avoid

ProblemsSolutions
When I view videos, the sound or the
picture is sometimes distorted or the sound
is not synchronized to the picture.
• The available WiFi bandwidth is insufficient for
sending the video flawlessly from the smartphone
to the projector. This can happen if one or more
WiFi networks operate in the same frequency
range nearby. Certain IoT devices (e.g. ZigBee
enabled devices) also operate in this frequency
range.
• Your smartphone is not fast enough to compress
the screen data and send it simultaneously over
WiFi.
• Your smartphone may maintain parallel
connections to your home network and
the projector. This will reduce the available
bandwidth. Disabling temporarily the connection
to your home network may help.
The temperature of the projector’s surface
is warm.
What to do if the projector does not work
when connecting to a notebook PC?
• For this projector it is normal to generate
moderate heat during operation.
• Check that the HDMI cable is plugged in correctly.
• Make sure that the notebook PC has been
switched to projector display.
