Press firmly for 5 seconds to activate the Nano-suction material. This ensures that the projector will stay in place during story time.

- Insert a story reel into your projector. There’s an arrow on every reel indicating the story’s first image.

- To make sure you’ve aligned your Moonlite perfectly, you will line up the target on the back of the Moonlite clip, to the target on your phone screen. Press your finger on the target of the attachment as you close the clip. Secure both sides of the clip in place with two fingers. You should now see a projected image!
What do I do if the image is fuzzy or not visible at all?
- Turn the lens barrel left or right to adjust the focus until the image is clear.
- Adjust the story reel to the correct frame as identified on the screen.
- The story reel may collect dust over time so just wipe it down with a cloth.
