Digislide Mantaray User Manual

							SET UP & USE INSTRUCTIONS
RECOMMENDED VIEWING & SET UP GUIDELINES
• MantaRay performs at its best when the image is projected onto a clean 
white wall or a non-reflective screen
• The maximum recommended projected image size from MantaRay is 1.5 
metres (measured diagonally)
• The size of the projected image is dependent upon the distance MantaRay is 
placed away from the projection surface (ie. wall or screen)
• We recommend that for every 1 metre of image projected (measured 
diagonally) the viewer should be 3 metres back from the image. These 
measurements are to be used as a guide only, and will not be practicable in all 
conditions and environments
• To adjust the image position on the projection surface, support the rear of 
MantaRay, and turn the tilt adjustment thumbscrew on the neck of the unit 
1⁄4 turn anti-clockwise. Whilst holding MantaRay at the required image height, 
re-tighten thumbscrew to lock unit in position. NOTE: Do not over-tighten the 
tilt adjustment thumbscrew
• If headphones are required, plug headphones into the headphones / audio out 
socket, designated by a headphones symbol on the base of MantaRay

							The best television reception will always be via an external 
antenna socket. If you do not have access to an external 
antenna socket, a telescopic antenna has been supplied.
Initial Set Up 
1. Place MantaRay on a flat level surface, facing a wall 
or a screen

antenna socket and extend for TV reception 
NOTE: If a connection to an external antenna is 
available, this will provide the best reception. Simply 
attach an RF lead (not supplied) to the antenna socket 
of MantaRay.  Attach the other end to the external 
antenna socket
6. Turn on the power switch located on the base 
of MantaRay (indicated by having the hyphen symbol
