Focus is adjusted by turning a knob near the lens, observing pixels at the screen's center for clarity. Keystone correction, for distorted images when the projector is not perfectly perpendicular to the screen, is also adjusted via a dedicated knob.

The projector can be controlled via a remote control or buttons on the unit itself.

It is recommended to fully discharge and recharge the battery to prolong its life. For long periods of disuse, turn off the power switch and unplug the adapter.
