4. If the above methods are useless, please contact the local after-sales service center.
11. Q: Why is the image edge not complete when using the Xiaomi Smart Projector L1?
A: The projection image is curved, uneven, and has wavy lines, mainly because the wall is uneven. It is recommended to replace the wall with a flat one or purchase a curtain to use with it. You can move the projector to a flat wall and observe whether the wavy line in the picture is still in its original position.
12. Q: Why does the adapter heat up when using the Xiaomi Smart Projector L1?
A: During the use of the power adapter, the power adapter will heat up, which is normal. The main reason is that the power adapter needs to convert the power into the current and voltage required by the projector. During the conversion process, a lot of heat will be emitted, so the adapter will be hotter during operation. You can rest assured that the adapter material is made of fire-proof and high-temperature-resistant plastic, so there is no need to worry about safety issues. However, during use, please do not place objects around the heat dissipation part of the adapter to avoid poor heat dissipation.
13. Q: Why is there a circle of dim white light on the image of the Xiaomi Smart Projector L1?
A: This phenomenon is normal. It can be seen in a darker environment. The brightness of our daily viewing environment is higher than this white light brightness, and normal use is not affected. If you use the function of keystone correction, a weak white light will also appear in the keystone-corrected image. If you want to improve this phenomenon, try to project the projector in the front direction and reduce the use of keystone correction.
14. Q: Why is there condensation on the lens of the Xiaomi Smart Projector L1?
A: The reason for the condensation phenomenon is that the temperature difference between the optical lens and the ambient temperature is too large, causing condensation after the lens in the cavity comes into contact with the air, thus blurring the image. This problem is normal.
To avoid the condensation on the lens of the Xiaomi Smart Projector L1, please refer to the following details:
1. Avoid large temperature differences. When the projector is moved from a low-temperature or high-temperature environment to a high-temperature or low-temperature environment, the temperature difference between the two environments should not exceed 10°C. You can leave the projector for 1 to 2 hours to allow it to return to the ambient temperature, and then use it again. This problem will not occur;
2. If the projector has been used and there is water mist (condensation) inside and outside the lens, the image will appear blurry and shiny. After the projector is turned on for 20 to 30 minutes, the image will return to normal and the projector can be used normally.

1. Please determine whether you are playing online videos or local offline videos (stored in the USB drive);
2. If you are playing online videos, it will be caused by low bandwidth at home. It is recommended that you switch the video definition, for example, switch the video resolution to 720 or standard definition to see if playing videos is smooth. If playing videos is smooth after switching to low bitrate definition, it means that there will be a problem with the network. It is recommended that you increase the network speed or restart the router to try. If the problem persists after switching, try playing other videos. If other videos are normal, it means that the resolution of the video source is not suitable for viewing on this device;
3. If playing videos is not smooth when playing local offline videos (stored in the USB drive), you can try replacing the external USB drive, hard disk, or video source. If only one video is not smooth and the others are normal, the video has a high bit rate, causing the playback to be not smooth. Please replace other video sources. If the problems persist, it will be the external device problem.

6. Q: Why does the Xiaomi Smart Projector L1 have poor effects at the daytime?
A: This phenomenon is caused by too bright ambient light. Because the projector shines light onto the wall or screen, and then reflects the image to the human eye, if the ambient light is too bright, the display effect will be poor. It is recommended that you watch the videos in a dark environment, such as drawing the curtains or watching at night.
7. Q: Why does the Xiaomi Smart Projector L1 lag in terms of system operation?
A: If the Xiaomi Smart Projector L1 lags in terms of system operation, please refer to the following details:

2. Please check whether the system version is the latest. You can update the system to the latest and try again;
3. Please confirm whether the heat dissipation is normal. If the heat dissipation is not smooth, it will cause the internal temperature of the projector to rise, resulting in system lag. Please move away items that affect heat dissipation;
4. Please reset the projector, which will erase all of the data, accounts, documents and installed APPs;
5. If the methods above are useless, please contact the local after-sales service center.
8. Q: What to do if there are dark spots on the image of the Xiaomi Smart Projector L1?
A: If there are dark spots on the image of the Xiaomi Smart Projector L1, please refer to the following details:

4. If the above methods are useless, please contact the local after-sales service center.
11. Q: Why is the image edge not complete when using the Xiaomi Smart Projector L1?
A: The projection image is curved, uneven, and has wavy lines, mainly because the wall is uneven. It is recommended to replace the wall with a flat one or purchase a curtain to use with it. You can move the projector to a flat wall and observe whether the wavy line in the picture is still in its original position.
12. Q: Why does the adapter heat up when using the Xiaomi Smart Projector L1?
A: During the use of the power adapter, the power adapter will heat up, which is normal. The main reason is that the power adapter needs to convert the power into the current and voltage required by the projector. During the conversion process, a lot of heat will be emitted, so the adapter will be hotter during operation. You can rest assured that the adapter material is made of fire-proof and high-temperature-resistant plastic, so there is no need to worry about safety issues. However, during use, please do not place objects around the heat dissipation part of the adapter to avoid poor heat dissipation.
13. Q: Why is there a circle of dim white light on the image of the Xiaomi Smart Projector L1?
A: This phenomenon is normal. It can be seen in a darker environment. The brightness of our daily viewing environment is higher than this white light brightness, and normal use is not affected. If you use the function of keystone correction, a weak white light will also appear in the keystone-corrected image. If you want to improve this phenomenon, try to project the projector in the front direction and reduce the use of keystone correction.
14. Q: Why is there condensation on the lens of the Xiaomi Smart Projector L1?
A: The reason for the condensation phenomenon is that the temperature difference between the optical lens and the ambient temperature is too large, causing condensation after the lens in the cavity comes into contact with the air, thus blurring the image. This problem is normal.
To avoid the condensation on the lens of the Xiaomi Smart Projector L1, please refer to the following details:
1. Avoid large temperature differences. When the projector is moved from a low-temperature or high-temperature environment to a high-temperature or low-temperature environment, the temperature difference between the two environments should not exceed 10°C. You can leave the projector for 1 to 2 hours to allow it to return to the ambient temperature, and then use it again. This problem will not occur;
2. If the projector has been used and there is water mist (condensation) inside and outside the lens, the image will appear blurry and shiny. After the projector is turned on for 20 to 30 minutes, the image will return to normal and the projector can be used normally.
