How long will the light source last?
The LED light source is rated for 20,000 hours in standard mode and up to 30,000 hours in economic mode.
Troubleshooting
The image is blurry after moving the device.
The auto-focus should trigger automatically, but if it doesn't, navigate to the settings menu to manually re-trigger the focus routine.
No sound output from the projector.
Check the volume levels in the OSD menu and ensure that the audio output settings are correctly configured for either the built-in speakers or your external Bluetooth device.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get started, place the projector on a flat, stable surface at the desired distance from your wall. Because it is an ultra-short-throw device, ensure the surface is perfectly flat to avoid image distortion.
- Connectivity: Connect your media source via the full-size HDMI port or utilize the built-in Android OS by connecting to your home Wi-Fi network.
- Keystone Correction: Use the built-in horizontal and vertical keystone correction (±30°) in the OSD menu to square the image if the unit is not perfectly centered.
- Maintenance: Keep the intake and exhaust vents clear of obstructions to prevent overheating. Regularly wipe the exterior with a dry microfiber cloth and avoid using harsh chemicals. Ensure the device is stored in a temperature-controlled environment between 0°C and 40°C.
