User’s Guide
Thank you for choosing the Yard Master Electric 150”/Yard Master Electric Tab-tension Series
projection screen! Please read through this user guide before utilizing the screen. Correct usage and
maintenance will ensure a long product life
Product Description:
The Yard Master Electric is an outdoor projector screen for wall and patio installations that brings media
room quality to your outdoor spaces. Its sleek aluminum casing beautifully accessorizes your backyard,
patio, pool deck or anywhere a gathering for evening movie time is appropriate.
Outdoor Projection Screen Disclaimer
Never leave your projection screen out and exposed to direct sunlight. Regardless of screen brand,
prolonged exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet radiation degrades the chemical bonds causing the material to
eventually decompose. Photodegradation first causes the material to lose its theater-grade reflective
qualities. Eventually nature will destroy even synthetic materials. For this reason, the Yard Master
Electric has a retractable design that allows the material to be drawn up into its protective casing to be
shielded from solar radiation.
Care & Use Instructions
◆Dust, dirt and scratches on the projection surface will affect the picture quality, please take note of the
points below to prevent that from occurring:
1. Do not touch the projection surface with your hands
2. Do not write or draw on the projection surface
3. Do not use fingers or sharp objects to point on the projection surface; this will damage the
screen material.
4. Use a soft-damp cloth to clean the projection surface; do not use chemical cleaning agents or
alcohol.
5. Use clean water when dampening the cleaning cloth and do not rub against the material to clean
it.
◆To avoid damage and injury, the screen should only be operated by adults.
