The Da-Lite Difference.

CAUTION!
1. Do not leave the screen in areas subject to direct
sunlight.
2. Keep the projection surface of the screen free from
dirt and dust, which can interfere with the quality of the
projected image. If the screen becomes dirty, lightly
wipe it off with soft cloth moistened in a weak, 20 to 1
solution of a mild neutral detergent and water. Benzine,
thinner, and other volatile agents can cause permanent
damage to the screen and should never be used for
cleaning.
3. Do not set up the screen in areas subjected to strong
breeze. This may cause the screen to move and inter-
fere with the quality of the projected image.

INTRODUCTION
2
Thank you for purchasing this Da-Lite product. Before at-
tempting to use it, make sure to carefully read the con-
tents of these instructions.
1. Avoid touching the films during raising or lowering of
unit.
2. Do not set up the screen on an unstable or uneven
surface. This may cause the screen to fall or tip over, re-
sulting in damage to the screen or personal injury. Be
especially careful when setting up at home where small
children may be present.
3. When screen is not in use and retracted, use the
built-in feet to stabilize it on a flat surface. Standing the
screen on one of its ends creates the risk of falling over,
and should be avoided.
4. Do not hang or attach items to the screen.
