Thank you for choosing the Yard Master Electric projection screen! Please read through this user guide before utilizing the screen. Correct usage and maintenance will ensure a long product life.
Compatible only with Standard (long) Throw projectors.
Product Description: The Yard Master Electric is an outdoor projector screen for wall and patio installations that brings media room quality to your outdoor spaces. Its sleek aluminum casing beautifully accessorizes your backyard, patio, pool deck or anywhere a gathering for evening movie time is appropriate.
Please be sure to read the precautions and operating instructions carefully before operating the screen. Proper maintenance and handling will ensure a longer lifespan for the product.
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. Photo degradation 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:
1. Do not touch the projection surface with your hands 2. Do not write or draw on the projection surface 3. Do not use fingers or sharp objects to point on the projection surface; this will damage the screen material. 4. Use a soft-damp cloth to clean the projection surface; do not use chemical cleaning agents or alcohol. 5. 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.
