Ceiling Mount: To mount the projector on the ceiling, remove the rubber gaskets on the four corners of the bottom of the projector. After installation, go to Setting » Projection Image Setting » Projection Mode to flip the image.

Focusing: Rotate the focus knob on the projector until the picture is clear.

Keystone Correction

Press the keystone button on the remote control to enter the projection image setting interface. You can choose between two methods:

  • Keystone Advanced: Select "Keystone Advanced" » "Front", then adjust "Vertical Keystone" and "Horizontal Keystone". You can also use "Digital Zoom" (50% to 100%).
  • 4-Point Keystone: Adjust each of the four corners individually until the screen is rectangular.

Connectivity and Mirroring

Bluetooth: Go to Setting » Bluetooth Setting to search for and connect to external audio devices. Note that this function supports audio devices only, not phones or computers.

Wi-Fi: Go to Setting » WiFi Setting to search for and connect to your local network.

Wireless Screen Mirroring:

  • iOS: Connect the projector and your iOS device to the same Wi-Fi network. Select "HummingBirdCast" on the projector, then open "Screen Mirroring" in the iOS Control Center and select "BirdCast-XXXX".
  • Android: Select "MiraCast" on the projector. Turn on the wireless projection function on your Android device and select "NEWLINK-XXXX" from the list.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Warm Tips:

  • Heat: The projector generates heat due to the built-in LED bulb; this is normal.
  • Copyrighted Content: Apps like Netflix, Disney, and Amazon prohibit direct projection. Use a TV Stick to watch content from these services.
  • USB Drives: If your USB flash drive exceeds 32GB, format it to NTFS.
  • No Image/Sound Only: If you experience sound but no image during mirroring, this is a copyright protection issue, not a projector defect.

Practical help

Common problems

No image, only sound during screen mirroring

This is a video copyright issue (e.g., Netflix/Disney/Amazon). Use a TV Stick instead of direct mirroring.

Remote control not working

The remote does not include batteries. Purchase and install 2 AAA batteries.

USB drive not recognized

If the drive capacity exceeds 32GB, the format must be changed to NTFS.

Projector overheating

Heat generation is normal due to the built-in LED bulb.

Before use

  • Purchase 2 AAA batteries for the remote control.
  • Ensure the projector is placed on a flat surface or mounted securely.
  • Remove the lens cover.
