User guide

The manual suggests you charge the batteries for four hours the first time. After the initial charge, Microvision states that it normally takes 90 minutes for a full charge - which allows for an approximate run time of two hours.

When connecting to a computer, you'll be using the dock - which is a bit larger than the projector itself. The dock is the base that has a top cover that is a little shorter in length than the projector. All you have to do is open the cover, slide the projector into the dock and and simply close the cover. The dock has small rubber feet on the bottom to stabilize the unit.
