These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that the interference will not occur on a particular installation. If this equipment causes harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures.

Screen operation
Electric Current: Depending on your region, the screen will operate in either 110v or 220v voltage.
-
After ensuring the power outlet & screen are compatible (voltage), plug the power cord into the power outlet.
-
Once the screen has power, you’ll be able to control it using any of the 3 methods described below
-
Ways to control your Evanesce Tab-Tension B screen
-
IR Remote control (Item A, Fig 1): The Infrared functions by direct line of sight contact using an effective beam range of 25 feet within a 30-degree angle. Aim the IR remote directly at either the IR receiver on the Wall Box Controller or on the screen to operate the screen.
Note: Assure there is no obstruction between the IR remote and IR receiver -
Wall box controller (Item B, Fig 3): The wall box controller switch is a wall mounted control box with an up/stop/down button. It plugs directly into the screen’s RJ50 port.
-
Wired 5-12 volt trigger: Requires a 3.5mm to 3.5mm mono cable (not included)
Step 1: Connect one end the RJ50 cable to the screen and the other end to the Wall box controller.
Step 2: Then connect one end the 3.5mm mono cable to the wall box controller and the other to the projector.
Once the two cables have been connected, the wired trigger feature is ready to synchronize the screen’s up/down operation with the projector’s power cycle.
* Projector on, screen drops
* Projector off, screen raisesADVANCED Programming Key Instructions: (FOR ADVANCED USERS ONLY)
Wall box controller must be connected to the screen.
ATTENTION: Reducing the factory’s full-screen drop may produce waves/wrinkles on the projection surface on tab-tension screens. The full drop is recommended to allow the screen to rely on the tab-tension system to maintain the projection surface flat and taut on all sides. The same applies on non-tensioned screens, although some level of waves may be present due to the nature of the screen not being tensioned. If wrinkles/waves develop after making the adjustment to the desired drop position, reset it to the factory’s default position per the instructions below. FLATNESS AFFECTED BY NEW PROGRAMMED VERTICAL POSITION IS NOT COVERED UNDER A REPLACEMENT WARRANTY
Preset the Screen’s Drop Position:
Use the RF/IR remote or Wall Box Controller to Drop the screen to the desired position you want to set it at. Press & hold the “Programming Key”, then press the “Down key” on the Wall Box Controller. The LED will flash 5 times to confirm new programmed drop position.
PROGRAMMING NOTE:
The programmed vertical position relies on a time-count which adjusts itself according to the programmed timed difference. Multiple up/down programming will result in the vertical position being off a few inches. It is recommended that programming is done the first-time the desired vertical position is determined or RESET it to factory default and programming the desired vertical position afterwards.
Clear/Reset the Screen’s Drop Position to factory default:
Press & hold the “Programming Key + “Stop key” on the wall box controller.

SCREEN MATERIAL DISCLAIMER:
At first, the screen material may have a series of noticeable horizontal lines on its surface. These are known as memory lines. Memory lines are caused when the pliable projection material is rolled up and stored for the duration between its production and sale. This is both a normal and correctable phenomenon. For non-tensioned screens, you may also notice curling along the edges of the material. This is mainly due to environments in cold temperatures. Please try the following to alleviate the memory lines and side curls on the material. After installation, leave the screen in the down position for a few days in a warm room environment (above 75 degrees) and then commence regular (up/down) usage. This allows the material to stretch out and cure itself. After a few days, the lines should vanish and the edge curling will alleviate and will neither return nor affect the projected image during the years of its use.
SHORT THROW PROJECTION DISCLAIMER
Using a short-throw projector on a non-tensioned type screen will result in
image distortion as the slightest wave on the viewing surface will become more
evident. For short throw projectors, AKIA Screens recommends the use of a
motorized tab-tensioned, fixed frame or whiteboard projection screen. Examples
of undoctored projection images using a standard throw and short-throw
projector Standard throw projected image shown below (waves are not
visible)
This short throw projected image shown below, demonstrates how waves on the
surface become more pronounced:
