Important Precautions

Correct use of the device:

Do not face the lens into the eyes because the strong projector light may cause injury to the eyes.
Do not block the air inlet/outlet of the device to avoid damage to internal electronic devices arising from normal heat dissipation failure of the device.
Do not wipe the lens directly with cleaning tools, including paper and cloth, to avoid damage to the lens. Please clean up the dust on the lens surface by blowing clean air.
Do not wash the device with chemicals, detergents, or any liquid to prevent the circuit board from being corroded by rainwater, moisture, and mineral-containing liquids.
Keep the device and its components and accessories out of reach of children.
Make sure that the device is used in a dry and ventilated environment.
Do not store the device in overheated or overcooled places, because extreme temperatures will shorten the life of electronic devices. Place and use the device in an environment of 0 °C- 40 °C.
Do not put the device into any heating equipment (such as a dryer or microwave oven) for drying.
Do not firmly extrude the device or place barriers on it or its back to avoid damage to the device.
Do not throw, strike, or sharply vibrate the device to avoid damage to the internal circuit board.

Do not repair any product on your own. If the device or any component cannot work properly, consult the after-sales service of XGlMI in a timely manner or return it to the factory for repair.

Troubleshooting

How do I install apps?
- XGIMI supports Android TV with the native Google Play Store. You can install apps from Google Play.
- Install apps from your U disk or other external storage devices. For the ﬁrst installation, you need to agree to install unknown apps from File Manager and UI Conﬁguration.
Why does the outer frame leave an irregular shadow after keystone correction?
TI DLP projections cannot ﬁll the whole screen. The true resolution ﬁlls only the actual display area and leaves the surrounding area unused. After a keystone correction is complete, some of the display area will become shadow (unused) because XGIMI projectors use digital correction. Therefore, it is normal to have some shadow in the background of the picture.
Is it normal that the adapter gets warm after it is inserted into the projector?
Our adapters are tested and certiﬁed by security regulations. Normally, the electric power transmission can cause heat or a small friction sound, which should not be a concern.
What can I do when there is no picture or when the sound and picture are not in sync?
For wireless projections, this issue may occur due to the app performance or the Internet speed.
If the projector is connected to an HDMI or Bluetooth speaker, this issue may occur due to the brand and compatibility issues of the connected device.
What can I do if the focusing function does not work properly?
To resolve this issue, verify the following conditions:
- The auto-focusing function is turned on in the focus settings.
- No object is in front of the projection lens or the sensor module.
  If this issue persists, open "System Settings" to perform focus calibration.
What is the support period for device software updates?
According to the regulations of Android TV, this product will support software updates for at least 3 years.
How to delete the device and personal data?
- Delete the account in "Settings" -> "Accounts and Sign In" , select your account, and then select "Remove account".
- Perform a factory reset of the device in "Settings"->"Device preferences"->" About"->" Factory reset", and the device data will be removed.
