REMOTE CONTROL OVERVIEW

You will need to pair the remote control with the projector before using it. Follow these instructions to pair the 2.4G wireless remote with your projector.

Within two (2) minutes of turning on the projector, press and hold both the Vol + and Vol – keys for approximately three (3) seconds.
The indicator light in the remote will flash quickly during this time and then stop. When the flashing stops, this indicates that the remote has successfully paired with the projector.

NOTE: While the mouse button is activated, the Volume + or Volume – keys will function as page up and down.

USING YOUR PHONE

For greater ease of use and a more intuitive experience, you can control the projector with the KODAK LUMA Companion App from the Apple App Store® or the Google Play™.

Once installed, you can use your phone as a remote to navigate through menus, mirror your screen, easily input login information for apps, and control media volume. Make sure to try out the reverse screen mirroring feature, which allows you to view the LUMA interface directly on your phone, and navigate that way!

Search for the KODAK LUMA in your phone’s app store.
Download the app, and make sure that your phone is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the projector.
Open the app and follow the instructions to pair it with the projector to enable remote functionality

CHARGING THE PROJECTOR

Before using the projector, connect it to the charger and allow it to fully charge. Always use the original charger that was provided to ensure proper charging.

To charge the projector, connect the charging cable to the USB-C charging port or connect the DC adapter to the DC port.

If the red indicator LED light is flashing, you see a red battery icon in the upper right corner of the screen, or you receive a Low Battery notification on-screen, this means that the battery is low and you should plug the projector in for it to recharge. While the projector is charging, the indicator LED will be a solid red light. Once the process has completed, the indicator LED will change to a blinking white light.

When the projector is powered on, you can connect the charging cable of your device to the USB port of the projector, and it will operate as a mobile power bank to charge your electronic devices. The power output is 5 V/1.0 A.
