INITIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Thank you for your purchase of Solo/Pro 2. The screen
is mountable outdoors, but is not waterproof. It has not
been designed to be run or left in the rain or condensing
humidity. Also avoid water spray, splash and extreme
heat or cold. Protect your Solo/Pro 2. and you can expect
years of quality use.
For a quick install it is recommended you run appropriate
wire to the installation location before installing the
screen. See the Pre-Wire sections for details.
Follow all local electrical codes when running and
terminating AC(110v) wires. It is the responsibility of the
installer to make sure AC(110v) screens are installed to
electrical safety codes.
The Short Throw material is not 100% opaque.
Light sources behind the screen may be visible in
the viewing surface.

Proper mounting preparation will ensure a great
installation. Mounting brackets must be level to each
other, as well as plumb. They must be screwed into
structural members of some kind, such as ceiling
joists or wall studs. You may use the wood screws
provided, or other anchors (not provided) capable of
carrying the load, that is suitable to the substrate.
DO NOT MOUNT TO HOLLOW SHEET ROCK.
1. The drop is adjustable in the field between 0'' and
the MAX DROP (12'', 24'', or 36'', 2'' for short throw)
ordered for your screen. Use the drawing (refer to
pg. 7) to pick a bracket height that will allow you to
extend your screen to achieve the desired vertical
position of your viewing area.

2. Determine the desired horizontal viewing position
centerline of the projected viewing area.
3. The Solo/Pro 2 screen must be installed with the
brackets no more than 4 inches from each end of
the cassette. Measure the overall length of the
cassette to determine the min. and max. horizontal
spacing of the mounts. Mark the location of the
brackets over a stud or ceiling joist and within an
appropriate distance from the ends. If the location
of the stud or ceiling joist does not allow the center
of the screen to match the projector lens' center,
another board or plate will have to be installed on the
wall or ceiling to take the mount fasteners.
