Frequently Asked Questions - S718QL Advanced DELL

How do I connect my laptop to the projector via network?

Ensure the projector is on and connected to the same network as your laptop. Set the projector's input source to Network. On your laptop, install the Dell Network Projection app from the projector's Web Management page (by entering the projector's IP address in a browser). Open the app, click Find a Projector, select your projector, and click Mirror On to start projection.

Can I play media files from a USB drive?

Yes. Plug a USB flash drive into the projector's USB 3.0 port. Press Menu on the remote, go to Input Source, and select USB Viewer. You can then browse and play video, music, photo, and document (PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint) files. Supported formats include MP4, AVI, MKV, JPEG, MP3, and more.

How do I adjust the focus on the Dell S718QL?

The projector has power focus. Go to Advanced Settings > Projector Settings > Focus Adjust. Use the on-screen buttons to adjust until the image is clear. Alternatively, with the OSD hidden, press and hold the right button on the projector control panel for 2 seconds to bring up a quick focus screen, then use up/down buttons to adjust.

How do I connect a Bluetooth speaker to the projector?

Turn on the projector and go to Advanced Settings > Bluetooth Settings. Set Bluetooth to On, then select Scanning and Pairing. Press Enter, click Scan, choose your speaker from the list, and select Connect. Once paired, the projector will automatically connect to it when turned on. You can turn off the projector's internal speaker in Projector Settings > Speaker if needed.

How do I clean the projector lens?

Turn off the projector, unplug the power cord, and let it cool for at least 30 minutes. Use an air blower to remove dust, or gently wipe the lens with a microfiber cleaning cloth. For stubborn dirt, slightly moisten the cloth with water. Do not use alcohol, glass cleaner, or flammable cleaners, and avoid touching the lens with bare hands.

What is HDR and how do I enable it?

High Dynamic Range (HDR) enhances contrast and color for compatible content. Only the HDMI 1 (2.0) port supports HDR. Connect an HDR source (e.g., Blu-ray player) via HDMI 2.0 cable. Go to Advanced Settings > Display Settings > HDR and select Auto or HDR Bright. Note that picture adjustments are disabled in HDR mode.

How do I replace the remote control battery?

Rotate the battery lid on the remote counterclockwise to remove it. Insert a CR2032 coin cell battery with the correct polarity (+ side up). Then rotate the lid clockwise to secure it. If using the remote for the first time, remove the plastic sheet between the battery and contact.

What should I do if no image appears on the screen?

First, verify the correct input source is selected in the INPUT SOURCE menu. Ensure the external graphics port is enabled (on Dell laptops, press Fn+F8). Check that all cables are securely connected and that the pins are not bent. Use the Test Pattern in Advanced Settings > Projector Settings to verify the projector is working.

How do I adjust the keystone and corner correction?

Go to Advanced Settings > Keystone Settings. You can adjust Horizontal Keystone and Vertical Keystone manually. For precise adjustments, enable 4 Corner Keystone: select it, then use the arrow keys to move each corner individually. Press Enter to confirm each corner and exit when done.

What is the minimum and maximum projection distance for the S718QL?

The projector has a fixed ultra-short throw lens with a throw ratio of 0.18. The projection distance from the lens to the screen must be between 3.9 inches (9.9 cm) and 8.9 inches (22.6 cm). This yields a diagonal image size of 100 to 130 inches.

Adjusting Projector Image

Aligning Projected Image To A Projection Screen

To ensure that the projected image shows within the surface of a projection screen, use the following method:

1 Move the projector close to the screen, and form a rectangular image that is smaller than the screen itself.

2 Check that the bottom edge of the projected image aligns with the bottom edge of screen frame, and the top edge of the projected image is level with the screen.

Diagram of a shopping cart with green lines indicating diagonal and vertical motion (no text or symbols)

3 Check that the left and right edges are parallel to the screen. If you are unable to align the sides, skip this step and correct this with 4-Corner adjustment on Page 27 Adjusting Image Corners.

4 Ensure that the rectangle is in the center of the screen (equal distance from left and right sides of the screen).

5 Move the projector backwards slowly to fill the screen.

6 Once the screen is filled, use the 4 corner correction to fine-tune the image shape.

Adjusting Image Shape

1 Turn the front tilt adjustment wheels ② and rear tilt adjustment wheel ① such that there are no gaps between the projector and wheels.

NOTE: Adjustment wheels can only be extended/protrude by 2cm, after which they fall out.

2 Extend the rear tilt adjustment wheel ① if the projected image appears as shown below:

3 Extend the front tilt adjustment wheels ② if the projected image appears as shown below:

Simple geometric shape: a light green trapezoid with no text or symbols

4 Extend the left side front tilt adjustment wheel ② if the projected image appears as shown below:

5 Extend the right side front tilt adjustment wheel ② if the projected image appears as shown below:

6 In certain situations, it might be necessary to adjust the orientation of projector to correct the distortion on the projected image. Turn the projector anticlockwise when the projected image appears shown as below.

7 Turn the projector clockwise when the projected image appears as shown below:

8 If necessary, repeat Steps 2 to 7 to achieve a rectangular projected image. In certain situations, it might be necessary to adjust the projector to be nearer or further away from the wall. For fine adjustment of the projected image, use Keystone Settings as shown on page 27.

Adjusting Image Height

Raising the Projector Image Height

1 Extend the rear tilt adjustment wheel ① to raise the image.

2 Use the keystone settings to make the image shape to be a rectangle. Refer to section on Page 27 Adjusting Image Corners for more information about fine adjustment of the keystone settings.

Lowering the Projector Image Height

1 Extend the front tilt adjustment wheels ② to lower the image.
2 Use the keystone settings to make the image shape to be a rectangle.

Projector Image Focus Adjustment

1 The Dell S718QL supports power focus. When the projection screen is blurred, you can use the Power Focus option to adjust the screen until it is clear.

Steps: Advanced Settings > Projector Settings > Focus Adjust

2 Adjust the focus until the image is clear. The projector focuses at distances ranging between 3.9 inches to 8.9 inches (9.9 cm to 22.6 cm).

Quick Focus Adjustment

1 With the On-Screen Display (OSD) not shown, press and hold the right button on the projector control panel for 2 seconds.

2 A quick focus adjustment screen will pop up.

3 Adjust the focus of your projected image by pressing the up and down buttons on the projector control panel.

Adjusting Projector Position

When you select a position for the projector, consider the size and shape of your screen, the location of your power outlets, and the distance between the projector and the rest of your equipment. Follow these general guidelines:

• When positioning the projector to the screen, it must be at least 3.9 inches (9.9 cm) and not more than 8.9 inches (22.6 cm) from the projection screen.
• The size of the projected image is dependent on the distance between the projector and the screen. Move the projector further away from the screen to obtain a larger projected image.
• Position the projector to the required distance from the screen. The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen, the zoom setting, and the video format determine the size of the projected image.
• Lens throw ratio: 0.189

You can set up or install the S718QL in the following ways:
