The menu options include settings and adjustments for screen size and distance, 
focus, keystone correction and more .

Turn on the projector by pressing "Power" button on the control pad.

2

Press the menu button on the control pad to launch the OSD for projector 
installation and maintenance.

 

 

3

The background pattern acts as a guide to adjusting the calibration and 
alignment settings, such as screen size and distance, focus and more .

Use the up and down arrow keys to select an option, the left and right 
arrow keys to adjust selected option settings, and the right arrow key to 
enter a submenu for feature setting. The new settings will be saved 
automatically upon exiting the menu.
