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.

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna of the device which may be causing interference.
Increase the separation between the screen and the device’s receiver.
Connect the equipment to a different power outlet other than the device.

Screen operation

Electric Current: 100 ~ 110v 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 5 methods described below.
IR and RF remote controls require 2x AAA batteries (not included).

5 Ways to control your Spectrum 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.
RF Remote Control (Item B): The radio waves eliminate the need for a direct line of sight and has a longer distance control range.
The RF remote is already pre-synced/paired and ready to use. If synchronization/ pairing is needed, please follow the steps below.
How to synchronize/pair a new RF remote
- Press & hold the “Programming Key”, then press the “Up Key” on the Wall box controller (wall-box LED flashes). Reference the wall box controller section for programming key location.
- Then press the “Up Key” on the RF remote.
- The Wall box LED will flash 5 times, to indicate the RF remote has been properly synchronized/paired.
- How to change the RF code (For use when multiple screens/RF remotes are owned)
  Changing the RF code avoids controlling multiple screens at the same time and prevents electrical interference leading to accidental control of the screen.
1. Remove the batteries
2. Change the RF code switch
3. Insert the batteries
4. Synchronize it with the wall box controller
Wall box controller (Item C, 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 raises
Wireless 5-12 volt trigger (Fig 5): Requires a 3.5mm to 3.5mm mono cable (not included).
The Radio Frequency (RF) remote control serves as a dual purpose, independently as a handheld remote control, or as a Wireless 5-12 volt trigger. The radio frequency technology sends a wireless signal that synchronizes the screen’s drop & rise with the projector’s power cycle.

Here’s how to set up your Wireless 5-12 volt trigger
The 5-12V wireless trigger should already be synced and ready to work.

Step1 : Connect one end of the 3.5 mm mono trigger cable to the RF remote.
Step 2 : Connect the other 3.5 mm mono end of the cable to your projector
Step 3 : Turn on the projector and the screen should automatically deploy.
Step 4 : Turn off your projector and the screen should automatically retract.

(Please be aware, the projector on/off cycle may take longer to fully activate. It usually takes around 20- 30 seconds for full off and on cycle each time)
Note: If the wireless trigger feature does not work, please resync the RF remote to the Wall box controller per the instructions in the Radio Frequency remote section.

ADVANCED 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.

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.
PROGAMMING NOTE:
The programmed vertical drop position will have +/- 2″ tolerance, which will depend on the temperature of the installed screen environment.
Clear/Reset the Screen’s Drop Position to factory default:
Press & Hold the “Programming Key + “Stop key” on the wall box controller.

Installation Instructions

Please consult a professional installer. Elite Screens is not liable for any faulty installations.

Sel ect the installation location for your screen. Ensure that it is within reasonable proximity from your power source.
For best support of your screen, it is ideal to secure your screen into the studs of your house’s internal framework. If studs are not available, use hollow anchors for mounting your wall screws into drywall. If you’re installing in a concrete structure, use concrete bolts to secure your screen.
Always consult a professional installer or hardware professional to ensure that the proper screws and/or hardware are being used.
Ensure that both brackets are in perfect level alignment with one another. Use wall/ceiling wood screws to secure to the wood studs. Use hollow anchors if mounting in drywall.
The screen casing is designed to accept the wall screws directly. If not using the Optional L-Brackets http://shop.elitescreens.com/accessories.aspx, be sure to position the washer between the head of the wall-screw and the anchor slots on the screen’s casing.
Using a tape measure, mark the keyholes that are located at the back of the screen’s casing end cap.
After marking the area and predrilled hole, insert the screw and have at least 1/8” from the wall to mount the screen. (See example in Figure 1.)
Figure 2 will show you an optional installation method using the drill holes located on top of the end caps for ceiling installation.

Optional installation method using the drill holes to hang the screen from the ceiling

Note
Wall screws included with this product are complementary and may not be adequate for all mounting surfaces. Consult with a professional installer or hardware store for proper mounting screws and anchors.
Regardless of the mounting method, the screen should be securely supported so that the vibration or pulling on the viewing surface will not cause the screen case to become loose or fall. The installer must ensure that proper mounting hardware and the fasteners used are of adequate strength and suitable for the mounting surface.
