The method you use to raise and lower the screen depends on the type of

switch control device you have selected. 

When you lower or retract the screen, it will stop at its preset limit. If an

obstacle (such as a person or furniture) gets in the path of the screen as it

is lowered, you should use the switch control to stop the screen's motion; it

will not automatically stop if it hits an obstacle.

In general, when the screen is not in use, you should store it in the fully

retracted position.
