Service

Built-in battery care

The capacity of the built-in battery diminishes with time. You can prolong the life of the battery if you observe the following points:
Without a power supply, the projector operates on the built-in battery. When the battery does not have sufficient power, the projector turns off. In this case, connect the projector to the power supply.
Charge the battery regularly. Don’t store the projector with a completely discharged battery.
If the projector is not used for several weeks, discharge the battery a little by using the projector before storing it.
Keep the projector and the battery away from sources of heat.
If the projector cannot be charged after connecting to the power supply, use a small pin to press the reset key (a small hole) located near the USB port of the projector.

Note about the deep discharge of the battery
When the built-in battery is in deep discharge, it may take longer for the actual charging process to start. In this case, charge the projector for at least five hours before using it.

DANGER!

Risk of explosion with incorrect type of batteries!
Do not try to replace the built-in battery yourself.

Troubleshooting

Problems	Solutions
The projector cannot be turned on or powered.	• Disconnect and reconnect

the power cable, and try to turn the projector on again.

• Low battery power. Connect the projector to an external power supply.

• Use the original power adapter.

• To power the projector using a USB-C PD adapter, the adapter must be 60W or higher and support 15V at 3A or 4A (20V is not supported).

The projector is charged slowly.| • When powered on, the external power will be used first to run the projector and unused power will charge the battery.

• For faster charging, charge while the projector is powered off.

The projector turns itself off.| • Low battery power.

• When the projector is running for a long period of time, the surface becomes hot. Ventilate the projector properly, with at least 30 cm clearness around all the sides of the projector.

• Check that the power cable is connected correctly.

The LED on the projector flashes red and blue when connecting to external power.| • Incorrect or insufficient power supply voltage or current. Use the original power adapter or a

compatible USB-C PD adapter of 60W or higher. The adapter must support 15V at 3A or 4A (20V is not supported).

The projector cannot be turned off.| • Press and hold longer than 30 seconds.
Bluetooth or video streaming does not run smoothly.| • Make sure that the wireless network is not disturbed by microwave ovens, DECT phones, or other neighboring Wi-Fi devices.

• For better Bluetooth or Wi-Fi performance, use a 5 GHz Wi-Fi network.

Problems	Solutions
No image from the external HDMI device.	• Disconnect the HDMI cable or

switch off the HDMI device.

• Wait three seconds.

• Reconnect the HDMI cable or switch on the HDMI device again.

No sound from the external connected device.| • Check the cables to the external device.

• Check that the sound is activated on the external device.

• Only the original cables from the device manufacturer may function.

No sound from external HDMI output device.| • On the HDMI output device, set the audio setting to Stereo (PCM).
No sound when you connect your computer via HDMI cable.| • Check that the sound is activated on the computer and set to output to the projector.
Only the home menu appears and not the image from the external device.| • Check if the cables are connected to the correct sockets.

• Check that the external device is turned on.

• Check if the video output of the external device is turned on.

Only the home menu appears and not the image from the connected computer.| • Check if the resolution of the computer is set to 1080P.
The projector cannot read the USB stick.| • The projector does not support the exFAT file system.

• Format the USB stick in FAT format, then use it.

The projector does not react to remote control commands.| •    Check the batteries of the remote control.
Measures to take if Screen Mirroring does not work anymore after a firmware update of an Android or iOS device?| •    We recommend checking regularly for new firmware of your projector ( see Update software, page 21 ).
Screen mirroring does not work with the available Android device.| •    In order to allow screen mirroring, your device must support Miracast. Not all Android devices support this function. The function name can be also known as Screencast, Screen Sharing, WiFi Direct, Wireless Display, etc..

• Please refer to the user manual of your Android device to check if this function is supported and how it can be enabled.

Problems	Solutions

When I view videos, the sound or the picture is sometimes distorted or the sound is not synchronized to the picture.| • The available WiFi bandwidth is insufficient for sending the video flawlessly from the smartphone to the projector. This can happen if one or more WiFi networks operate in the same frequency range nearby. Certain IoT devices (e.g. ZigBee enabled devices) also operate in this frequency range.

• Your smartphone is not fast enough to compress the screen data and send it simultaneously over WiFi.

• Your smartphone may maintain parallel connections to your home network and the projector. This will reduce the available

bandwidth. Disabling temporarily the connection to your home network may help.

The temperature of the projector’s surface is warm.| • For this projector it is normal to generate moderate heat during operation.
What to do if the projector does not work when connecting to a notebook PC?| • Check that the HDMI cable is plugged in correctly.

• Make sure that the notebook PC has been switched to a projector display.
