cable, and try to turn the projector on again.
The projector cannot be turned off.| •    Press and hold     longer than ten seconds. If this does not work, disconnect the power cable.
No image from the external HDMI device.| •    Check if the correct HDMI input is selected (HDMI 1 or HDMI 2).

•    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 Multichannel (Raw data) & Stereo (PCM).
No sound when you connect your computer via HDMI cable.| •    Check that the sound is activated on the computer.
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 that the VGA output of the computer is turned on.

•    Check if the resolution of the computer is set to 1920*1080 (for VGA connection) or 1080P (for HDMI connection).

The projector turns itself off.| •    When the projector is running for a long period of time, the surface becomes hot.

•    Check that the power cable is connected correctly.

Problem Solution
The projector cannot read the USB storage device. •    The projector does not

support the exFAT file system.

•    Format the USB storage device in FAT32 or NTFS format, then use it.

The projector does not react to remote control commands.| •    Check the batteries of the remote control.
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 19).
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, Wi-Fi 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.

When I view videos, the sound or the picture is sometimes distorted or the sound is not synchronized to the picture.| •    The available Wi-Fi bandwidth is insufficient for sending the video flawlessly from the smartphone to the projector. This can happen if one or more Wi-Fi 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 Wi-Fi.

•    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.
The projector does not work after I connect it to a laptop.| •    Check that the HDMI cable is plugged in correctly.

•    Make sure that the laptop has been switched to projector display.
