Factory Advisory

The factory advises against installing a concealed or recessed electrical projection screen permanently. You must be able to access the external end plates should future service to the internal roller tube/screen assembly system be necessary.

Note: This manual refers to “AC” to represent electrical power. Your location may use 120 V, 220 V, or other electrical power. Screen systems are manufactured using the electrical power type specified for the location.

Use appropriate power sources for your location.

Unpacking

1. DO NOT remove the paper hanging from the trapdoor at this time. You should remove it only after the unit is hung, all electrical connections have been made, and the screen is in operation.

2. When moving the unit, make sure not to torque or twist the case.

This can cause door alignment problems. To check the case, use a level on the case ends.

Caution

During installation, do not place the unit on an unstable cart, stand, table, or ladder. The unit may fall, causing injury to a child or adult and damage to the unit.
