Using this projector is simple. First, make sure you have a suitable power supply as it doesn't come with one. Connect it to your video source, like a laptop or DVD player. Turn it on and adjust the focus and image settings to get the best picture. When using, be aware that the lamp has a bit of a flicker. Don't worry too much about it, but if it becomes really bothersome, you might consider replacing the lamp. For maintenance, keep it in a clean and dry place. Regularly check the air vents to make sure they are not blocked, as proper ventilation helps the projector work well and last longer.
