SCREEN OPERATION
Electric Current: Depending upon region, your projection screen will operate 110v or 220v voltage.
1. After ensuring the power outlet & screen are compatible (voltage), plug the power cord into the power outlet.
2. Once the screen has power, you’ll be able to control it using any of the 4 methods described below.
4 ways to control your DarkStar® Max UST-FR Screen
1. Manual Operation Switch: The left side of the screen's housing includes a UP/STOP/DOWN switch to
raise, lower and stop the screen without the use of the RF/IR remote.
Note: Please charge the remotes prior to first use. The IR&RF remotes are touch sensitive remote controls.
Make sure to place your finger directly in the center of the button when attempting to control your screen. You
will see a blue light flash above the buttons when used properly.
2. IR Remote Control (Item B/C): The IR remote (B) requires a direct line of sight through the screen’s IR
receiver. Put the IR Eye Receiver (C) in a suitable location free from obstruction. Then point the IR remote
to the IR Eye receiver to operate the screen.
3. RF Remote Control (Item A): The RF (A) remote is best used when the screen is concealed or when long
distance control is required. The RF technology therefore is more versatile as it does not require line of
sight to operate the screen.
4. Wireless 12 volt projector trigger: The wireless 12-volt projector trigger (C) can synchronize to your
projector’s power cycle for easy operation.
The trigger has been synchronized to your electric screen.
a. Connect the wireless 12V trigger into the projector’s trigger output port.
Make sure to enable this feature if needed in your projector’s menu settings.
b. Power ON the projector. The screen should raise (up) the screen automatically.
c. Power OFF the projector. The screen should descend (down) the screen automatically.
NOTE
➢When powering off the projector, assure it is completely powered off (ex. fan off), then the screen will
retract automatically.
➢If the motorized screen does not automatically drop or retract, repeat the process from step one.

Notice to Installer:
Proper Projector Placement for DarkStar® UST. The DarkStar® UST is exclusively for table-mounted ultra-
short throw projectors as illustrated in example 1 below. Overhead placement or a standard projector will make
the image very dark, on account of the screen’s absorbent layer deflecting light that is not aligned with its
reflective angle.
Example 1: Proper Projector Installation
Example 2: Improper Projector Installation
Images are not up to scale and are for illustrations purposes only.

CHARGING THE RF/IR REMOTE CONTROL
Charge the RF or IR remote by plugging the Micro USB Charging cable (Item E) into any USB power source
and into the left side of your RF or IR Remote Control. While charging, you will see a solid red light above the
touch sensitive buttons. For your convenience, you may use the remote while it charges. Note: The red light
may dim while charging.
ANTI-PINCH SAFETY FEATURE
Prevent injury or damage to the screen when an object interferes with the screen’s descent during its operation.
The screen is equipped with an anti-pinch safety feature which prevents the closing panel/lid to stop when it
detects an object
