· Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
· Disposal of a battery into fire or a hot oven, or mechanically crushing or cutting of a battery, that can result in an explosion.
· Leaving a battery in an extremely high temperature surrounding environment that can result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas.
· A battery subjected to extremely low air pressure that may result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas.
· The operation altitude is up to 2500m.
1. ABOUT LASER LIGHT · Never look into the projector lens when the laser is turned on; this
can result in eye damage. · Do not try to dismantle the projector. It contains a high-power laser

2.1 Quick Installation Guide
PREPARATION
Install the electrical outlet near the equipment. It should be easily accessible. Take the 4 following items into consideration when installing the projector: 1) Distance between the projector back and the wall (W1) 2) Height: image width (height) (H1), height between the bottom of the
image and the desk (H2), height of the desk (H3), and the recommended height of the wall (H4) 3) Surface for placing the projector You can place the projector on almost any sturdy, flat and level surface, to project an image. Dimensions of the desk: – Mobile desk: W2, H3, and L2 – Immobile desk: W2, H3, L2 and W1 (leave enough space to move the device on the desk) 4) Image of the projection The wall for the projection should be larger than the area of your desired image size. Wall area: length (L3, L1) x width (H4, H1 + H2 + H3) in the diagram.

    14.6in (thus the image center is at 1.3m / 51.2in high, suitable for audience sitting on a sofa in front); H4: 192.3cm / 75.7in. 3) Area of the desk (L2 x W2): 53.3 x 55cm / 21.0 x 21.7in. 4) Area of the wall (L3 x H4): 221.4 x 192.3 cm / 87.2 x 75.7in.

VAVA Chroma // 12

Tips:

  1. Conversion figures may have been rounded up or down. 2) Leave plenty of space around and under the projector for
    ventilation, and keep the vents unblocked in all directions. 3) Position the projector within reach of a grounded electrical outlet
    or extension cord. 4) The projected image size increases as the projector is placed
    farther from the wall. Move the desk for placing the projector as the distance requires. 5) For H3, the provided recommended value of the image center at 1.3 m./51.2 in. high would be most comfortable with the assumption that it will be viewed from a sofa. You can adjust per your personal preference.
    INSTALLING THE PROJECTOR
    Place the projector on the desk. Move to an appropriate distance for the desired image size while keeping the device parallel with the wall. Connect the projector to a power source and press the Power button on the device or remote to turn it on. Follow the instructions to go through the wizard, including the following operations: 1) Choose a language 2) Pair with the remote control 3) Network settings 4) Adjust the projection area 5) Select the time zone

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
3

· Before cleaning, unplug the power cord from the socket. Wipe the exterior of the projector routinely with the provided cleaning cloth or a cloth designed for professional use. Do not apply abrasive detergent, solvent or other coarse chemicals to avoid scrapes.
· Leave plenty of space around the vents for heat dissipation. · Do not place anything blocking the speaker for better sound. · Disassembling the device will not only null the warranty but may also
cause harm to your or others’ safety. · Do not use the projector near water, sources of heat, high-voltage
electrical wires, or sources of magnetic fields. · If you use the projector in a country other than where you purchased
it, use the correct power cord for that country. · Do not block the lens during projection using a book or any other
object. This could damage the projector or cause a fire. · Remove the battery from the remote control if not in use for extended
amounts of time in case of leakage and damage to the remote. · Please follow local regulations to promptly and properly dispose of
used batteries.

Q A
TROUBLESHOOTING
4

Q: Do I need to prepare a screen for projection? A: For optimal performance, project onto a flat wall with only one color,
preferably white. However, using a recommended screen can provide the best experience.
Q: The motion detection is not working. A: Make sure the sensor is not blocked and the function is active in
Settings.
Q: The remote control isn’t working. A: · Press any button on the remote, if blue light flashes, the remote is
still powered. · Check if there’re obstacles in front of the VAVA icon on the
projector. If the remote can’t work while pointing to the VAVA icon, the remote or the infrared function is abnormal. · If the infrared function is good, check if the remote has been paired via Bluetooth.
Q: I can’t play files from my USB drive. A: Your USB drive may be in a format that the projector does not
support. Back up the files to your computer, reformat the USB drive, transfer the files back to the drive, and plug the drive into the projector to try again.
Q: I’ve connected a device via the HDMI port, but there’s still no signal. A: There are 3 HDMI ports on the projector. Make sure the device is
connected to the correct one, the HDMI wire is working, and the HDMI device is powered on.
Q: No sound is playing. A: Check whether the correct audio output (built-in speaker/external
speaker) is selected in Audio Settings, or if it’s muted.
VAVA Chroma // 28

Q: The image isn’t clear/there is no image. A: · Make sure the original video is in high definition.
· Check that the projector is in focus: go to Settings -> Image -> Electric Focus to adjust accordingly.
· Power off the device and unplug the power cord. Plug it again after 1 min and power on the device.
Q: How do I choose the audio output? A: When connecting to a speaker in Settings, there are two output
options: PCM and RAW. – For PCM output, the audio source is decoded. It is compatible with
almost all speaker types, but the sound quality may be compromised. – For RAW output, no decoding is involved for the audio output, thus
retaining the original sound (as long as the connected speaker supports the decoded audio). RAW output is generally the optimal choice.
Q: What do I do if the system breaks down or gets stuck? A: · Power off the device and unplug the power cord. Plug it in again
after 1 min and power on the device. · There may be too much on the system cache. Free up space on
Android and delete rarely-used apps. · There may be a network problem. Check whether your network
supports watching videos online. A bandwidth of 8M or higher can usually support 1080p videos.
Q: The remote control got disconnected / I can’t power on the device wirelessly because the remote isn’t paired.
A: The projector can only be powered on by pressing the power button on the projector or via infrared. Powering on via Bluetooth is not available.
29 // VAVA Chroma

Q: The system prompts a message of high temperature and the device shuts off automatically.
A: Make sure the device is working in a proper ambient temperature (within the device’s working temperature range) and that the vents are not blocked. Restart the device.
Q: The device cannot be powered on. A: Check whether the device is connected to power properly and that
the socket connects to electricity. Press the Power button on the device to start.
Q: How do I use the projector with Alexa Voice Control? A: · Press the voice assistant button on the remote control to activate
Alexa. · Try with any voice command as required, e.g. Alexa, turn off the
VAVA projector.
Q: How do I use the remote in mouse mode? A: · Go to Settings -> General -> Mouse Mode -> On/Off to enter
mouse mode. Then you can use the remote as a mouse to control the projector. · Go to Settings -> General -> Mouse Mode -> On/Off to exit mouse mode.
