Step 2: Go to "System Setup", then sign in. Once signed in, you should see an option to "add/delete" a Google Account.

Understanding Projection Size & Throw Ratio
The throw is the distance from the lens to the projection screen. The throw ratio is calculated with the throw distance and the width of the projected display.
Essentially the throw ratio tells us what image size we can project from a certain distance.

Example: A 1:5 throw ratio + 1ft of image width = 1.5 feet throw distance for every 1ft of image width.
The XGIMI projection ratio is: 1.2:1. Moreover, our projectors can project a max screen size of 200 inches, which meets various projection needs. If your projector has 1500 ISO Lumens, a 40-180-inch screen can deliver the best viewing experience.

Diagonal sizes for your reference:
38 inches @1m (1.8m*0.5m);
76 inches @2m (1.7m*0.9m);
114 inches @3m (2.5m*1.4m);
151 inches @4m (3.4m*1.9m);
189 inches @5m (4.1m*2.4m);
227 inches @6m (5m*2.8m)
