HDMI1/MHL
When you connect a smartphone or tablet device to the projector, the device starts charging when images are projected.
Attention
• You may not be able to connect an MHL cable to all devices.
• Make sure the connection cable supports the MHL standards. If you connect a cable that does not support the MHL standards, the smartphone or tablet device may become hot, leak, or explode.
• If you connect using a commercially available MHL-HDMI conversion adapter, charging the smartphone or tablet device may not work or you may not be able to perform operations from the projector's remote control.
a • If images are not projected correctly, disconnect and then reconnect the MHL cable.
• You may not be able to project correctly depending on the model and settings of the smartphone or tablet device.
