Question 1

Do you have to power it via battery or can it be powered from the wall adapter alone? If so, does the battery charge when plugged in to the wall adapter while using the projector?

Accepted Answer

No you don't have to power it only by battery it maybe powered either way. But when you do battery only it goes down to 85 lumen when its plugged into the wall it gets the full 200, and yes while it is plugged in using the projector or not it is charging it, if it needs to be charged.

Question 2

I am able to project my computer screen on a wall or screen/canvas?

Accepted Answer

Hey Pete - This mostly depends on the computer you are using.

The projector only has an HDMI input.
If your computer has an HDMI output then you are all set - no problem.

If not, then you will need some way to convert to an HDMI output.  
If you have a relatively new MacBook then a thunderbolt to HDMI adapter will work fine.

Otherwise you will likely need some sort of converter box (a cable may not be good enough, but again this depends on your computer and the cable you are using).

Hope this helps!

Question 3

Is there a remote control available?

Accepted Answer

Nope no remote. Don't really need one since its primarily a  great output device.

Question 4

Is this suitable for displaying text?  I’d like a projector that can project a spreadsheet on the wall so a workgroup can view a workflow status in a table.

Accepted Answer

I have used this for both powerpoint presentations and movies at the house.  I think it does a good job with both.  Keep in mind, it is a portable projector, so the brightness, although good, is not on par with a standard (larger) projector.  Also, seems the screen size max is about 60".  Battery is a great feature, and good enough to get you through a full length movie, and then some.  Enjoy!

Question 5

For some reason when I put in the HDMI chord from my laptop to the projector the screen isn't coming up through the projector. please help me with trying to fix this. Any answers on what's possibly going wrong? I need it tomorrow to teach a class. 
Thank you,
April

Once the projector is turned on and plugged in the laptop should recognize it in the display settings as a second monitor. Its possible all you need to do is enable or extend your display in the display settings. I would suggest duplicating your display under the Multiple Displays dropdown. If you have Win10.

Question 6

two questions:
1) can the device read files such as PDF, and Powerpoint via a usb stick?
2) can you play media files such as MP4 from the USB port using a usb stick vs. using mobile devices?

thanks for your help!

Accepted Answer

No the usb is only to charge a device. Only input is hdmi

Question 7

Question 8

When I connect from iPad to projector using iPad USB it comes Up no signal help?

Accepted Answer

As far as I know, the USB port at the rear of the S1 is a power output only.  It only accept HDMI signal.  So if the screen of an ipad is minded to be projected, a suitable adapter is need.  Alternatively, something like a miracast device may be attached to the S1 to turn it into a wireless display or projector and Airdisplay function of Apple may then be invoked.   If one wants to use the USB port to charge an ipad, the S! may be required to switch on first.  This applies to my phone using Type-C USB port but not hose with conventional micro USB ports.

Question 9

Hi
For some reason I am putting in the hdmi chord from my laptop but the screen isn't showing through my projector. Please help asap. I need this to work to teach a class tomorrow. Do you know what is possibly wrong? It just keeps saying no signal but I'm on the Internet. Non of the chords are working. What do I need to do or check with this projector in order for the screen to be displayed on the white board?

Accepted Answer

If the laptop isn't recognizing the extra display automatically then with the projector powered on and the laptop running plug it in. Go to your display settings and either use duplicate or extend on your multiple displays dropdown choices. I suggest duplicating. So you're not stuck figuring out two different resolutions to display. Toy with the display settings and or devices and printers if your laptop just isn't recognizing the device.

Question 10

do we need extra cables...? does this work with SOny phone?

Accepted Answer

If your phone is micro USB capable (almost all non-Apple phones are now) then the MHL cable that comes with the projector will let you use your phone as a 3rd party input. The output USB port on the projector is merely for power output to any USB device.
