Check the power cable connections. l'want to install my projector on the ceiling. The ceiling installation bracket is sold separately. Contact your local product distributor. External Source can not be selected. Be sure that the video cable or cables are properly con-nected to the correct jack or jacks on both ends. If the device is not connected properly, it can not be selected. Menu and Remote Control Remote control does not work. Be sure that the proper external source is selected. Check the battery in the remote. If there is something wrong With it, replace it with a new battery of the recommended size. Be sure to aim the remote at sensor on the back of the unit and at a distance of no more than approximately 32.8 feet(10 m). Remove any obstacles between your remote control and the product. Direct light from 3-way light bulbs or other lighting devices on the remote sensor of the projector may affect the sensitivity and cause the remote control to malfunction. Check if the remote control battery compartment is empty. Check whether the LED indicator on the top of the projector is turned on. l cannot select a menu. Check if the menu is displayed in gray. Gray-colored menu items are unavailable. Troubleshooting

Symptoms Troubleshooting Screen and External Source Cannot see picture images. Be sure that the power cord of the projector is connected. Be sure that the proper input source is selected. Check that the connectors are properly connected to the ports at the back of the projector. Check the Remote Control batteries. Be sure that the <Color> and<Brightness> settings are not at their lower limit. Poor color. Adjust the <Tint> and <Contrast>. Images are not clear. Adjust the focus.
