Outdoor Projection Screen Disclaimer
Never leave your projection screen out and exposed to direct sunlight.
Regardless of screen brand, prolonged exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet
radiation degrades the chemical bonds causing the material to eventually
decompose. Photodegradation first causes the material to lose its theater-
grade reflective qualities. Eventually nature will destroy even synthetic
materials. For this reason, the Yard Master Electric has a retractable design
that allows the material to be drawn up into its protective casing to be
shielded from solar radiation.
Care & Use Instructions
Dust, dirt and scratches on the projection surface will affect the picture
quality, please take note of the points below to prevent that from occurring:
- Do not touch the projection surface with your hands
- Do not write or draw on the projection surface
- Do not use fingers or sharp objects to point on the projection surface; this will damage the screen material.
- Use a soft-damp cloth to clean the projection surface; do not use chemical cleaning agents or alcohol.
- Use clean water when dampening the cleaning cloth and do not rub against the material to clean it.
To avoid damage and injury, the screen should only be operated by adults.
