2. Operation
2.1 Power on and off -
Connect the power adaptor jack to the projector, then plug the power adaptor into the AC power
source. The red indicator light on the projector will turn on and the projector will enter standby
status.
Power on: Press the power button on the projector or the remote to turn on the projector.
Power off: Press the power button on the projector or remote. A prompt will ask you if you want
to shut down the projector. Press the power button again to confirm.
Unplug the power adaptor from the outlet to power off the projector completely.

2.2 Focus -
Place the projector at desired distance (typically 4-7 feet) from display screen. Turn on the
projector and wait for the multimedia homepage to appear. Rotate the thicker projector lens
barrel to adjust focus.
2.3 Keystone Correction -
To reduce “hot spots” on the projected image (When rear projecting the beam from the projector
can be seen on the image. This is a “hot spot”), do not place the projector perpendicular to the
horizontal centerline of the screen.
Instead, place the projector slightly higher or lower than the centerline of the projected image.
To adjust for this warped image use the thinner front lens barrel. This controls the keystone
correction.
Use the keystone correction dial to achieve the best squared effect. The range of this unit’s
Keystone correction is +/- 15”. If not sufficiently squared by the keystone correction, reduce the
tilt of the projector in a vertical direction.
To adjust horizontal distortion, adjust the position of the projector so it projects perpendicular to
the vertical centerline of the projected image

4. Projector Setup
4.1 Location -
Determine where and how you wish to project your digital decoration for the best effect. You will
likely want a projection that will be seen by as many people as possible.
Digital Decorations® from AtmosFX are designed for “Window Mode”, and look best
rear-projected on Window Projection Material (Or Premium Window Projection Material) in a
window and viewed from the outside.
For a mirrored image, press the “ROTATE IMAGE” button three times to project a mirrored
image. This is especially useful for decorations with words that you are rear-projecting.
If you are mounting the projector upside-down on the ceiling, Press the “ROTATE IMAGE”
button once on the projector for proper viewing.
The projector should be set up 3-9 feet from the projection surface.

Choose an appropriate location for the projector and take steps to prevent accidental
collisions or tripping on electrical cords.
4.2 Lighting -
The darker you make your area around the AtmosFX Holiday Digital Decorating Kit projector
and surface, the more dynamic the display will be. It should be really, really dark when you start
your display.
Choose a location where you can turn off any ambient light that may interfere with you
projection.
Consider using curtains to sheild light that may be coming on from other parts of the room.
4.3 Tripod -
Screw the tripod counter clockwise into the threaded hole on the bottom of the projector,
making sure it is fully and securely attached. Flex and adjust the three legs so that the projector
is positioned at the desired height and projection point.
Make sure the three legs are well-balanced on a stable flat surface.
When not in use, unscrew Tripod and store in original packaging.
4.4 Projection Screen and Tape Squares -
Before instaling the projection screen, test your intended projection location. Turn off lights and
turn on the projector - without any scenes yet - just shine the projector onto the window, moving
the projector backwards or forwards as necessary and adjusting the tripod until the projection
completely fills the window frame or intended area. Then adjust the focus.
TIP! - To get rid of creases, wash the material on delicate setting and tumble dry on low setting.
Do NOT apply hot iron to the Window Projection Material directly, as polyester will melt.
After confirming the projection location, hang the included Window Projection Material so it
covers your window completely. The Window Projection Material Provided is 4ft. By 6ft. Pull the
screen taut so that it is smoothed out and attach it to your window frame or wall with the double
sided tape squares provided.

Now to test your digital decorations! Select the format that will work best for your set-up
location.(Vertical, Horizontal, or 3dfx if you are using AtmosFX’s 3DFX Form) Set the mood with
additional props if desired. You are only limited by your imagination!
