Wireless Connections to Projector
With the technological advances of recent years, it has become easier than ever to connect your phone to a projector wirelessly. There are a few different ways to do this, and the method you use will depend on the type of projector you have and the capabilities of your phone. In most cases, you will be able to connect your phone to a projector using either Bluetooth or WiFi.
If your projector has Bluetooth capabilities, you can simply pair it with your phone and start projecting wirelessly. To do this, simply go into the settings menu on your phone and look for the “Bluetooth” option. Once you have found it, select “Pair new device” and follow the instructions on-screen. Once your phone and projector are paired, you should be able to start projecting wirelessly.
If your projector does not have Bluetooth, don’t worry – you can still connect your phone to it wirelessly using WiFi. To do this, you will need to download a special app onto your phone that will allow it to connect to the projector over a WiFi network. Once you have downloaded and installed the app, follow the instructions on-screen to connect your phone to the projector. Once you are connected, you should be able to start projecting wirelessly.[1]
Wired Connections to a Projector
The first and most basic method to connect your phone to a projector is by using a wired connection. This is the most reliable way to establish a connection between your phone and the projector, and it also doesn’t require any extra equipment beyond what’s necessary to physically connect the two devices.
There are three main ways to connect your phone to a projector using a wired connection: via HDMI, MHL, or SlimPort. Let’s take a look at each of these methods in turn.[1]
How to Wirelessly Connect an Android Device to a Projector
If you have an Android device and want to wirelessly connect it to a projector, there are a few different ways that you can do so. One option is to use a Miracast adapter, which will allow you to mirror your device’s screen onto the projector. Another option is to use Google Cast, which also allows you to mirror your device’s screen but also has the added benefit of being able to stream audio and video content from apps like Netflix and YouTube.
To connect your Android device wirelessly to a projector using Miracast, follow these steps:
First, make sure that both your phone and the projector are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Then, open up the Settings app on your phone and go to the “Display” section. Tap on the “Cast Screen” option and then select the projector that you want to connect to from the list of available devices. Once your phone is connected to the projector, you should see your device’s screen start being projected onto the larger display.

How to Wirelessly Connect an Apple Device to a Projector
If you have an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you can use Apple TV to wirelessly mirror the contents of your device’s screen to a projector. To do this, you’ll need an Apple TV and a compatible projector. If you don’t have an Apple TV, you can still connect your device to a projector using an adapter and cable.
Here’s how to wirelessly connect an Apple device to a projector:

HDMI Connection
If your phone has an HDMI output, you can connect it to the Vankyo projector using an HDMI cable. Simply connect one end of the cable to your phone’s HDMI port and the other end to the projector’s HDMI input.
To use an MHL adapter, you’ll need a special MHL cable that is compatible with your phone. Connect one end of the cable to the adapter and then plug the adapter into your phone’s micro-USB port. Next, connect the other end of the cable to the projector’s HDMI input.
Once you’ve connected your phone to the projector, you should see the phone’s display on the projector screen. If you don’t see anything, make sure that the projector is turned on and that your phone is set to output video to the right port.[1]
How to Set Up the Vankyo Projector?
Assuming you’ve already unpacked the projector and have it positioned where you want it, the next step is to connect it to a power source and turn it on. Then, take your phone and open up the Settings menu. From here, select the “Connections” or “Network & Internet” option (depending on your phone’s make and model). Once inside this menu, look for an option called “Screen Mirroring,” “Cast,” or “Smart View.” Select this option.
