Frequently Asked Questions - GoProjector AIPTEK

How do I recharge the Aiptek GoProjector?

Connect the provided USB cable to the Micro USB port on the projector and the other end to a computer or USB power adapter (5V/2A). Full charging takes about 5 hours. The three white LEDs light up during charging and turn off once the battery is full.

Can I use the projector to charge my smartphone?

Yes, if your phone is compatible with MHL. Connect the MHL cable (provided) to your phone, then press the Charge Mode button on the projector (after turning off the projector). The projector's battery (1850 mAh) can then charge your phone at low power (5V/500mA).

How do I connect my phone to the projector?

If your phone has an MHL port, directly connect the provided MHL cable to the phone and to the Micro USB port of the projector. Projection starts automatically after a few seconds. Otherwise, use the included HDMI adapter and an HDMI cable (not provided) to connect an HDMI device.

What should I do if the projected image is blurry?

Use the focus wheel on the projector. Turn it gently until you get a sharp image.

Why won't the projector start?

First, make sure the battery is charged. If the LEDs do not light up, plug the projector into a power source. If the problem persists, press the power button. Ensure the ambient temperature is between 5 °C and 35 °C.

How do I adjust the volume?

Volume is adjusted from the source device (phone, computer) connected to the projector. If the source has no volume control, press the Charge Mode button for one second to display the volume bar, then use the Up/Down buttons to adjust.

My MHL phone does not project the image, what should I do?

Check your phone's compatibility with MHL on the mhlconsortium.org website. Compatibility is not 100% guaranteed. Make sure the phone's output resolution is supported (see appendix of the manual). Try disconnecting and reconnecting the cable.

Does the projector heat up normally?

Yes, it is normal for the device to heat up due to its performance. Avoid covering the projector during use and keep it in a well-ventilated area.

How do I change the projected image format?

Use the Projection Mode button to switch between three formats: Pan & Scan (4:3, crops the edges), Theme (4:3, compresses the edges), and Letterbox (16:9, displays the entire image). Choose the one that suits your source.

What should I do if the battery does not charge?

Check that the three LEDs are lit during charging. If they are blinking, the projector might be in MHL charging mode. Press the charge button once to exit this mode. Use a 5V/2A power adapter for optimal charging.
