Using the Screen
A. Setting up the screen:
Follow the steps below and Fig. 1 & 2.
1. Place the screen in an upright position (fig.1) with the
legs toward the ground.
2. Deploy the Tripod Support legs by pushing down on
the Tripod Junction.
3. Release the vertical locking mechanism by placing
the locking tab in an “up”position. Lift the vertical
extension bar up and turn the tripod’s screen casing to a
90° horizontal position so that the casing is now parallel
to the ground with the screen handle facing the bottom of
the top hook. Lock the vertical extension bar by placing
the tab in a “down” position.
4. Completely extend the legs as much as possible so
they are stable and position them away from objects that
may interfere with their balance. DO NOT stand the tripod on
an unstable platform to avoid an injury should the tripod screen collapse.

B. Preparing the tripod screen for projection:
Follow the steps below and Fig. 3.
1. Pull the screen handle up vertically and hook the screen handle on
the Top Hook.
*Note: Use the Keystone Eliminator to prevent “Keystone Effect”
from occurring. Keystone Effect is caused when a projector presents
its image at a downward angle causing a trapezoid-shaped image to
appear on the screen. The Keystone Eliminator is designed to
eliminate that effect by angling the screen forward.
2. Pull the Screen Height Adjustment Lock/Release tab out so that
it is in an “up” position. Releasing this tab unlocks the carrying
handle. This enables you to raise or lower the bottom of the screen.
Once the desired height has been set, push the tab “down” to lock the
case’s position in place.
3. Release the vertical locking mechanism by pulling the locking tab
on the handle out so that it is in an “up” position.This will allow you
to adjust the vertical extension bar. Raise it to the desired height.
Place the tab on the vertical locking mechanism in the “down”
position to lock the vertical extension bar.
C. Disassembling the screen:
Follow the steps below and Fig. 4.
1. Hold the vertical extension bar and release the vertical locking
mechanism tab to unlock and release the position of the extension bar.
Once the extension bar has been brought all the way down, unhook the
screen material from the Top Hook and slowly retract the screen back into
the case. The vertical locking tab can remain in the “up” position.
* Note: It is very important to remember to hold the extension bar first and
then unlock the sleeve to prevent the extension bar from slamming and
damaging the screen.
2. Unlock the carrying handle by placing the locking tab in the “up”
position and slowly slide the handle all the way down until it reaches the
tripod junction. The case will tilt to the left right, resting one side on the
floor is suggested.
3. With the carrying handle still unlocked, turn the screen’s case
vertically clockwise while simultaneously lifting the carrying handle until
the entire unit is at a 90° angle with the floor (as pictured in Fig. 4). Insert
the Top Hook’s bottom pin to lock into the screen’s end cap hole. Lock both the
adjustment handle and vertical locking mechanism tabs by placing them in the “down” position.
4. Close the tripod legs by pushing them in.
Note: To ensure the screen is stable, extend the tripod’s legs as much as possible.
Do not fold the screen or allow any sharp objects to touch the screen’s surface.
Clean the screen surface often when needed.
Careful use will extend the lifetime of this product.
