Can the M4 projector run on battery and how long does it charge?

How do I play files from a MicroSD card or USB drive?
Insert the microSD card into the slot on the front of the projector or plug the USB drive into the USB port. Then navigate to the desired media type (Video, Photo, Music, Ebook) from the main menu and select the SD or USB source. Use the directional buttons to browse files.
How do I set up DTV (digital TV) on the M4?
Connect an external antenna or analog cable TV wire to the antenna adapter. In the main menu, select the Digital TV icon. When prompted, run a channel scan using the remote control (the scan function is only available via remote). Please note that ATSC signals may require a large antenna.
What should I do if the projected image is blurry?
First, adjust the focus dial until the image is sharp. If still blurry, ensure the projector is placed perpendicular to the screen and on a level surface. For computer connections, verify the output resolution matches the native 1280x800. If using VGA/HDMI, check that the computer is set to extend or duplicate the display.

The M4 has digital keystone correction. You can adjust it automatically or manually via the settings menu. Use the remote control buttons designated for keystone to correct the image shape. Refer to page 3 of the remote layout in the manual.

The projector has built-in 2.0W dual stereo speakers and a 3.5mm audio jack for connecting external speakers or headphones. For headphones, prolonged use at high volume may impair hearing.
How do I update the firmware on the M4 projector?
Copy the new firmware file to a USB stick. Insert it into the USB port. You can update either through the Setup menu (select 'Software Update') or by turning off the projector, inserting the USB, and turning it back on. The lights will flash and the projector will reboot automatically.
What are the supported file formats for video, photo, and music playback?
Refer to the 'Specifications' section in the manual. The M4 supports common formats but the exact list is not provided in the excerpt. For best results, ensure files are encoded with standard codecs and do not exceed the resolution limit of 1920x1080.

What is Keystoneing?

"Keystoning" occurs when a projector is aligned non-perpendicularly to a screen, or when the projection screen has an angled surface. The image that results from one of these misalignments will look trapezoidal rather than square.

Digital Keystone Adjustments

By adding a special, selectable, algorithm to the scaling, some new projectors are able to alter the image before it reaches the projection lens. The result is a squared image, even at an angle.

Keystone Adjustments FAQ

Keystone adjustments are made automatically. Adjustments can be made manually via changing the option in the settings menu.

How to Correct Keystone

- If the image looks trapezoidal with the base larger (as pictured right), adjustment can be made using the M4 remote provided.
