How to use
Place the projector on a stable surface or mount it according to the throw distance calculated from the throw ratio.

Adjust image size and focus using the manual zoom and focal adjustment, then apply vertical and horizontal keystone correction up to 30° to align the image. Use the onboard menu to select native 1080p resolution and configure display settings for the room lighting conditions.
Usage recommendations
For best image uniformity and longevity, install the projector in a well-ventilated location protected from direct dust and moisture. Use the laser mode and brightness settings appropriate to ambient light—higher brightness for rooms with more ambient light and lower brightness to reduce noise and power consumption in dark viewing environments.
