Instruction Book for
DESIGNER CONTOUR®MANUAL
The Da-Lite Difference.

There are three ways to install the Designer Contour®
Manual: Wall Mount, Ceiling Mount, or Ceiling Hook.
Procedures for each method are as follows:
Wall Mount
1. Secure the wall mount bracket to the wall at the
desired height. Bracket should be fastened to wall
studs or some reinforcement within the wall.
Concrete or brick walls require special fasteners
and anchors.
2. Make sure the bracket is level. See figure 1 for
reference dimensions.
3. Keep in mind you will need at least 7/8" between
the ceiling and the top of the wall mount bracket
to be able to position the case on the bracket.
4. Mount the screen case on the wall bracket as
shown in figure 1. Be sure the case is fully seated
on the bracket. Tighten the stop screws against
the wall bracket.
Ceiling Mount
1. Do not remove the wall mount bracket, even if
you are not using it for mounting. This provides
structural stability to the case.
2. Be sure the ceiling has adequate reinforcement to
attach the screen brackets.
3. The top of the screen case has a channel that the
ceiling mount brackets slide into. Loosen the two
set screws on the brackets and slide bracket so it
extends over the end of the case. Lock the
brackets in place by tightening two set screws.
Refer to figure 2. Mount cannot be more than 12"
from end of case.
4. Hold the screen case up to the ceiling and mark
the hole locations. Drill holes into the ceiling and
attach screen with the appropriate fasteners for
your ceiling.

YOU HAVE MADE A WISE SELECTION…
in choosing a Da-Lite projection screen designed and engineered to produce the sharpest, most pleasing
pictures with maximum convenience.
PROTECT YOUR SCREEN by keeping it rolled in its protective case when not in use. Always examine both front and back of
surface before re-rolling into case to make certain screen is free of dust, dirt or other foreign matter. Use a very soft
duster brush gently to remove foreign particles.
Care in mounting and care in correct operation will mean a long and satisfactory life for your Da-Lite wall/ceiling screen.
Locate the screen where the audience can best see it and where other furnishings in the room permit. Mount the screen
so that bottom of picture surface, when fully extended, will be above heads of viewers.

Ceiling Hook
1. Do not remove the wall mount bracket, even if
you are not using it for mounting. This provides
structural stability to the case.
2. Be sure the ceiling has adequate reinforcement to
attach a hook anchor.
3. The top of the screen case has a channel that the
ceiling hook brackets slide into. The brackets can
be attached anywhere within 12" of the end of the
case. Loosen the set screws on the brackets and
slide the brackets to the desired location. Lock the
brackets in place by tightening two set screws.
Refer to figure 3.
4. Attach an S-hook or similar fastener to the large
center hole on the bracket.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
TO LOWER PICTURE SURFACE
Pull screen down all the way. HESITATE – then allow screen to retract VERY SLOWLY until it locks in place.
TO RAISE PICTURE SURFACE
Pull down on the pull bail, then release quickly. The screen will retract gently into the case.
TO ADJUST RETRACTION SPEED
Use a large flat screwdriver to turn the adjustment knob on the right end of the screen (see figure 2 or 3). To increase the
travel speed turn counterclockwise. To decrease the travel speed turn clockwise. Adjustments should be made in half
turn increments and travel speed checked before adjusting further.
If screen locks at the bottom and will not retract, turn adjustment knob one quarter turn counterclockwise.
