aaxa TECHNOLOGIES P4 Pico Projector User Guide
Caution! WARNING: Please use this product as instructed. Misuse may cause injury or death. DO NOT use while driving DO NOT expose to water or wet surfaces.
The AAXA P4 runs the Windows CE operating system. All Standard Functions can be found on the Home Screen and can be manipulated with the keypad on the projector. Because we dislike locked devices, rather than locking the Windows CE Desktop we have decided to leave this function unlocked. This allows users to enjoy the full capabilities of the Windows CE operating system. However if you choose to access the desktop, please make sure you know what you are doing.
