Frame Assembly
1. Unwrap the frame pieces. Assemble frame pieces on padding
material or other soft, clean surface. This will help keep the
frame clean and protect it from scratches.
2. Slide the frame pieces together at corners (Note: Frame
assembly holes may not appear to it properly at the corners
until all fasteners have been attached. Once fasteners are
attached, the frame corners will be drawn in for a proper it.)
Secure frame pieces with #10 screws provided. Do not tighten
screws until all are started, then tighten. See Figure 1.
NOTE: The frame pieces are labeled “top” and “bottom”. Be
sure the frame pieces are assembled according to the labels.
This will ensure the snap pattern on the frame and screen
surface will match.
3. Attach the eight snap studs to the back of the frame in the
predrilled holes.

Installation
Method 1 (Screens 80" And Smaller
In Viewing Width)
Method 1 (Screens 80" And Smaller
In Viewing Width)
There are four methods of installation based on the size of the
screen and type of viewing surface. Measure the width of the
viewing area of your screen and refer to the appropriate method
of installation below. The wall bracket diagram shows the type
and quantity of bracket(s) supplied based on the size of the
screen.
Method 1: Screens 80" and smaller in viewing width.
Method 2: Screens over 80" up to 96" in viewing width.
Method 3: Screens over 96" in viewing width.
Method 4: Any size screen with High Power® viewing surface.
1. Secure the wall bracket to wall studs at the desired height.
Make sure the bracket is level. The top of the frame will be
1/8" above the top of the wall bracket when mounted. You will
need at least 5/8" clearance above the bracket to hang the
screen. Figures 2, 3, and 4 show the proper orientation for the
supplied wall brackets.
2. To install the lower wall bracket, you must measure the
overall height of the screen frame and subtract 13/8". Using
that dimension, measure down from the top edge of the wall
bracket and mark the wall for two screw holes. The holes
should be centered within the frame and 6" apart. Refer to
Figure 3.
3. Attach the small wall bracket to the wall. Refer to Figure 4 for
proper orientation. Do not tighten the screws completely. The
bracket should slide up and down easily.
4. Unroll the screen on a clean surface. Do not use newspaper.
The viewing side is rolled to the inside of the roll. Place the
frame over the screen surface, and while lifting the frame
with one hand, snap the screen surface onto the frame
with the other hand while maintaining a steady pull
on the surface.
5. Hang the screen on the brackets by hooking the bottom of
the frame onto the lower wall bracket and lift up until you can
hook the top of the frame on the top bracket. Push down on
the frame to seat it on the brackets. Refer to Figure 4.

the overall height of the screen frame and subtract 1/4". This is
the dimension from the top of the upper wall bracket to the
bottom of the bottom wall bracket. See Figure 6.

is the dimension from the top of the upper wall bracket to
the bottom of the lower wall bracket. See Figure 6.
3. Some large screen sizes (240") are made with 2-piece side
frame rails. For this type of frame you will need to attach one
High Power® bracket to each side at the joint. Use the black
#10 screws supplied. See Figure 7.
4. Unroll the screen on a clean surface. Do not use newspaper.
The viewing side is rolled to the inside of the roll. Place the
frame over the screen surface, and while lifting the frame
with one hand, snap the screen surface onto the frame

Method 4 (High Power®) Cleaning
Da-Tex®, Dual Vision, Pearlescent, Cinema Vision, High
Power®, Da-Mat®, High Contrast Da-Mat®, Audio Vision, High
Contrast Audio Vision, High Contrast Cinema Vision and High
Contrast Cinema Perf surfaces can be cleaned as follows:
Using a white clean cloth (100% cotton preferred) that is
dampened with clear water, gently wipe the area in one direction.

wipe dry after each cleaning session. To clean a stubborn stain
or a sticky surface, use denatured alcohol (methanol or methyl
alcohol) following the same procedure as for water.
