Is there a battery included for portable use?

Troubleshooting

No image displayed

Ensure the projector is powered on, the correct input source is selected via the remote or menu, and all cables are securely connected.

Image is blurry or out of focus

Use the auto-focus function. If manual adjustment is needed, use the focus ring or menu options. Ensure the projection surface is flat and the projector is at the correct distance for ultra-short throw.

No sound from built-in speakers

Check that the volume is turned up on the projector and the connected source device. Ensure the audio output is set to the projector's speakers in the device's settings and that the audio cable (if used) is not connected.

Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection issues

Restart the projector and your router. Ensure you are within range of the Wi-Fi network. Check that Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are enabled in the projector's settings.

Projector overheating

Ensure the vents are clear and not obstructed. Allow the projector to cool down before resuming use. Use the projector in a well-ventilated area.
