Edge trim Installation
The Aeon fixed screen is EDGE FREE®, but you may install the Edge trim to provide it with an elegant thin bezel
finish.
1. Place the assembled frame on a flat and clean surface. The projection screen surface should be facing up.
a. As an option, Black Tape is supplied to cover any possible gaps between the pieces of the bezel trim.
Align the tape with the edge of the screen, as shown in Figure 1. Once properly aligned, apply the black
tape to the center of the top and bottom of the screen material.

so that the top and bottom trim pieces are touching and show no gaps in the center. (Note: The Elite logo should
be positioned on the bottom right). Refer to Figure 2 below for a visual reference.

Installation
Locate your desired installation location with a stud finder (recommended) and mark the drill-hole area of where the
screen is to be installed.
1. Drill a hole with the proper bit size according to the wood screws included.
2. Line up the wall brackets with the drilled holes on the installation location and screw them in using a
Phillips screwdriver.
3. Position the frame screen onto the wall brackets (F) as shown in below.
4. The design of the wall brackets allows the frame to slide over them through its sides. This is an important
feature of the installation design as it allows your screen to be properly centered.
