ADVANCED Programming Key Instructions: (FOR ADVANCED USERS ONLY)
Wall box controller must be connected to the screen.
1. Preset the Screen’s Drop Position:
Use the RF/IR remote or Wall Box Controller to Drop the screen to the desired position you want to set it at.
ATTENTION: Reducing the factory’s full screen drop may produce waves/wrinkles on the projection
surface on tab-tension screens. The full drop is recommended to allow the screen to rely on the tab-
tension system to maintain the projection surface flat and taut on all sides.
The same applies on non-tensioned screens, although some level of waves may be present due to the
nature of the screen not being tensioned. If wrinkles/waves develop after making the adjustment to
the desired drop position, reset it to the factory’s default position per the instructions below.

PROGAMMING NOTE:
The programmed vertical position relies on a time-count which adjusts itself according to the
programmed timed difference. Multiple up/down programming will result in the vertical position being
off a few inches. It is recommended that programming is done the first-time the desired vertical
position is determined or RESET it to factory default and programming the desired vertical position
afterwards.

SHORT THROW PROJECTION DISCLAIMER
Using a short throw projector on a non-tensioned type screen will
result in image distortion as the slightest wave on the viewing
surface will become more evident.
For short throw projectors, AKIA Screens recommends the use of a
motorized tab-tensioned, fixed frame or whiteboard projection
screen.
Examples of undoctored projection images using a standard throw
and short-throw
projector
Standard throw projected image shown below (waves are not visible)
This short throw projected image shown below, demonstrates how waves on
the surface become more pronounced:

Direct Sunlight Disclaimer
Projection Screens from any maker are not designed for use as a window curtain and
should never be exposed to direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to solar radiation will
destroy synthetic materials and such damage is not covered by our standard warranty.
See examples below.
SCREEN MATERIAL DISCLAIMER
At first, the screen material may have a series of noticeable horizontal lines on its surface. These are known as memory
lines. Memory lines are caused when the pliable projection material is rolled up and stored for the duration between its
production and sale. This is both a normal and correctable phenomenon. For non-tensioned screens, you may also notice
curling along the edges of the material. This is mainly due to environments in cold temperatures. Please try the following
to alleviate the memory lines and side curls on the material. After installation, leave the screen in the down position for a
few days in a warm room environment (above 75 degrees) and then commence regular (up/down) usage. This allows the
material to stretch out and cure itself. After a few days, the lines should vanish and the edge curling will alleviate and will
neither return nor affect the projected image during the years of its use.
