Chapter 3: Usage tips
Read this chapter to learn how best to project, position and handle your Slice.
Image projecting
Signal
After the Cinemin welcome screen has been displayed, Slice is ready to project the
signal it receives from your media player.
Ensure that your media player device has video-out functionality, as not all1.
do (particularly some smartphone models). Check your media player’s
specs and settings.
Ensure that all cable connections — both with your media player and with2.
Slice — are completely inserted.
Ensure that you have pressed play on your media player. Some content,3.
such as photo slideshows and web videos, will project only when “played.”
Projection size
14
To increase the size of the projected image, move Slice away from the surface on
to which you are projecting. Adjust the focus as needed.
Distance from Slice to surface* Image size*
125-inches (335 cm) ~ 60-inches (~105 cm)
57-inches (145 cm) ~ 28-inches (~ 71 cm)
28-inches (71 cm) ~ 13-inches (~ 33 cm)
*Measurements are approximate.
To project vertically — for example, on to a ceiling — simply move the projector
hinge to a vertical angle. Adjust the focus as needed.
For best results, project on a white, unobstructed surface in a
dark or dimly lit room.

Handling
Cleaning
To clean your Slice, first ensure that it is turned OFF and the cables are
disconnected. Gently use a soft, dry, clean non-abrasive cloth to wipe dust from
Slice’s body and lens.
Do not use cleaning solvents or chemicals.
Brightness
Slice is a projector of bright light. Do not look directly into the light source or shine it
into another person’s face.
Warmth
The projector module of Slice may become warm to the touch after extended
periods of use. This is normal. Allow it to cool, or handle it along the edge, if
adjusting the angle while warm.
Closing the docking platform
The docking platform can be closed with the iPod and iPhone docking trays
installed, but the iPad docking tray must be removed first or it will not close.
Gently push the platform back into the unit. Slamming the platform can cause
it to break.
