Troubleshooting Tips:
REMEMBER

- It only works in darkness
- Take off the Lens cap
- Adjust the focus on the lens as per the manual
- Access to the menu is via the remote provided
- HDMI Source has been selected (use remote or menu – see manual)
- Image is in 16:9 aspect ratio (use remote or menu – see manual)

Speakers:
- Make sure they are switched ON

- Power and AUDIO IN cables are connected securely
Screen:
- If it is taking longer than 10 minutes to inflate check the following:
o Are you using the large 2 way valve?( see manual)
o Are the valves on the opposite side of the screen closed tightly?
o After inflating using the large 2-way valve, you MUST complete the inflation using
the small 1-way valve located on the top of the two way valve.
o Before screening, use the 1-way valve to inflate the screen so that it is as tight as
possible
- If the screen is moving check your tethering is correct (see manual)
Issues with Audio or Projection:
1. First TURN OFF ALL the individual items (DVD player, projector, and then 2 x speakers) then
turn off the main power & power boards.
2. Double check ALL cables are securely pushed in
- Check the back of the projector (HDMI cable, Audio & power)
- Check the back of the DVD player (HDMI & Power)
- Then the back of the speakers (Audio & power)
- Check the power board or points
3. TURN ON the power from the wall/board and then all devices (DVD player, projector and
then 2 x speakers)
4. Remove batteries from remotes and microphones for 10 seconds, and then put them back
in.
Press play and adjust the volume to see if this has resolved the issue, If I doubt refer to the manual

SETUP GUIDE
UNROLLING SCREEN
1. After deciding on set up location and whether projection will be front or rear it is time to unroll the
screen. For outdoor application we recommend using a tarp under the screen secured down with
tent pegs to help keep screen clean. (NOTE: push tent pegs right into ground so that it is not raised
above ground level – for screen and operator safety).
2. Remove your HandiScreen from the duffle bag provided and place the screen at the FRONT LEFT of
the set up location, remove tie from around screen and unroll to the right (example in diagram).

3. Once unrolled, unfold the screen once to have it in its ‘inflation ready’ position. The screens white
surface area is now sitting in half on the rectangular base. You are now ready to inflate your screen.
4. Ensure one inflation / deflation valve is sealed completely. Have your handheld blower ready for
inflation.
5. Open the other inflation valve completely so that the air from the blower goes straight into the
tubing, and not through the one way valve. Ensure your blower has the correct nozzle attached to
fit the valve. Hold blower against the valve, turn the blower on.

6. Holding the blower to the valve the screen will start to inflate slowly (takes approximately 3
minutes). Once screen has inflated enough to stand up on its own, remove the blower and seal the
first valve. Screen inflates as pictured below when inflated from the “inflation ready” position.
7. Place the blower back onto the second (top) value and continue inflating until screen frame is firm.
Turn off and remove blower, fastening the final valve cover.

8. You must now have your stakes ready for this step. From each corner of the bottom of the frame
there is a D-ring with a tether attached. Find this D-ring / tether, and then from each corner walk
out 2 -3 LARGE STEPS (approximately 2-3 metres) and twist the stake into the ground and connect
that tether using the clip.
9. Attach all top tethers to stakes and adjust tethers so they all have the correct tension.
10. Now it’s time to set up your SmartBox and Audio equipment.

CARING FOR YOUR SCREEN
GENERAL CARE
1. The easiest way to care for your screen, is to keep it clean and dry. Always set up your screen on
a tarpaulin to prevent it from coming into contact with the ground, grass, dirt or sand that may
dirty your screen.
2. When deflating your screen after use, always pull the screen down so that screen lays over the
back tubing, before removing the screen surface. This will prevent your screen surface from
hitting the ground and collecting any dirt on the way down.
3. Ensure your screen is always dry when rolled up and put away. Any moisture can result in mould
growing and can destroy your screen.
CLEANING
1. Cleaning the tube is best done with a soft cloth and some methylated spirits. This not only cleans
your screen but dries very quickly without leaving and streaks. This method can also be used to
spot clean the screen surface as well.
2. If the screen surface become very dirty, simply zip of the screen and hand wash in warm soapy
water. Do not wash the black section of attached to the screen surface. Then hang out to dry.
DRYING
1. If your screen gets wet from dew or rain don’t stress! Simply shake off as much of the water as
possible and then pack away. Bring out the following day when the weather is better, set up and
inflate and the screen will dry out usually within around 30minutes. If the screen was very wet
this may take a little longer. Ensure all your tethers are also dry as these can get mouldy as well.
2. Alternately leave your screen inflated and bring inside to dry off.
PATCHING
If your screen obtains a cut, hole or is pierced by a sharp object it can be repaired. Simply get out your
repair kit to fix your screen. Patching the screen should be done when the screen is deflated.
1. Cut a piece of the PVC fabric so that it covers the hole entirely, with approximately 2cm around
each side overhanging the gash.
2. Make sure that both the PVC patch and the tubing where the hole is are clean
3. Use the glue supplied to glue around the edge of the patch to create a seal over the hole.
Warning - Don’t use too much! The glue can ooze out and make a mess of your tubing.
4. Place something heavy over the top of the patch to ensure that the patch doesn’t move.
5. Allow to set overnight.
