    2. Download APK files on the internet. GS2 will read the files in your USB flash drive and install.

  • You can connect GS2 via Bluetooth:

    2. Or, connect to external Bluetooth speakers or headphones. 

    Find out in the video how to turn GS2 into Bluetooth speakers and how to connect GS2 to external Bluetooth speakers or headphones. 

  • How to have a smooth wireless casting experience with GS2?
  • It depends on the internet service bandwidth provided by the Wi-Fi router as well as how many competing wireless devices in the environment. If stuttering occurs during projection, please check if Wi-Fi is working properly or it is combusted. 

    GS2 has both 2.4G and 5G channels. We'd recommend switching both your home Wi-Fi router and GS2 to 5G channel for smoother connections.

  • What is the projection distance and image size?
  • You can project an 80 inch screen at 7.6 ft (230cm); 100 inch screen at 9.5 ft (288cm). For more details please refer to the user manual.

  • Can GS2 do the wireless projection in the WiFi-less environment?
  • Besides WLAN mode, GS2 also offers 2 types of wireless projection: 

    1. Use Mobile as the Wifi Hotspot: Turn on Wi-fi Hotspot on your iPhone or Android phone, connect GS2 to it and start the wireless projection.  

    2. Use GS2 as the Wifi Hotspot: Turn the Wifi Hotspot on GS2 and connect your mobile to it and start the wireless projection. To note, your mobile won't be able to connect to the external network via your 4G cellular network and only can stream pictures or video stored in your mobile to GS2. 

  • What makes GS2 a projector for children?
  • Unlike LCDs, mobiles, and tablets which emit blue light, projectors project light, and the images projected onto the wall or screen curtain get into the eyes with less stimulation and damage to the eyes. 

    Equipped with Eye-Protection Sensor, GS2 will shut down the LED light automatically to prevent the strong light from entering the eyes in case that curious kids peep into the lens. 

    What's more, GS2 is IPX2 splash-proof and 0.5 m drop-proof and has a magnetic detachable power cord. Your kids can play indoors as well as outdoors carefreely without safety concerns. 

Check the compatibility between your devices and the media platforms to stream in ways that work for you!

  • Do I need to replace the LED lamp of the projector?
  • There is no need to replace it during the normal usage lifetime of the projector. Because the projector uses an LED light source instead of a lamp, it can last for about 20,000~30,000 hours so there is no need to change it during the normal usage lifetime of the projector. If you want to change the lamp, please notice that LED replacement is not user-serviceable, please contact the service center to replace it.
