Protecting the Projector To protect your projector from overheating and other types of damage, follow these suggestions: n Use only a power source and connection appropriate for this projector as indicated on the marking label. n Do not overload an electrical outlet, power strip, or convenience receptacle. The overall system load must not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit rating. If an extension cord or power strip is used, make sure that the cord or strip is rated for the product and that the total ampere ratings of all products plugged into the extension cord or power strip do not exceed 80 percent of the extension cord or strip ampere ratings limit. n Install the projector near an outlet that you can easily reach. Disconnect the product by grasping the plug firmly and pulling it from the outlet. Never disconnect it by pulling the cord. n Unplug the projector from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. n Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. These openings must not be blocked or covered. Never push objects of any kind into cabinet slots or other openings. n Do not drop the projector or place it on an unstable surface. n Do not expose this product to rain or moisture. n Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not walk on the cord. n Do not open the projector or attempt to service this product for any other reason than to replace the lamp module. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions. If the projector is not operating properly or has been dropped or damaged, contact your Compaq authorized dealer, reseller, or service provider.

Silvetti Saved by: Marianne Silvetti Saved date: 11/08/99 5:08 PM Part Number:383706-001 File name: BkCh1.doc Cleaning the Lens To minimize the risk of damaging the coating or scratching the lens surface, this cleaning procedure has been developed. The first recommendation is to remove any dust particles from the lens by blowing them off with clean, dry, deionized air. However, this may not be a convenient method, and an alternate method is described below using the cloth included with the projector. To clean the lens, use only the clean cloth that was included with the projector and follow these steps: CAUTION: Do not spray any type of fluid or cleaner directly on the lens surface. Do not use liquid cleaners on the cloth as this may contaminate the cloth. 1. Wipe the lens in a single direction with the clean, dry cloth. Do not wipe back and forth across the lens surface. 2. If the cloth is dirty or smears the lens, wash the cloth. If the cloth is still dirty after washing it or the fabric is damaged, replace it. .Do not use fabric softener when washing the cloth or softener sheets when drying the cloth. CAUTION: Do not store the cloth in contact with the lens for a long time as doing so may contaminate the lens with dye from the cloth. Keep the cloth in its case when it is not being used. The cloth can be contaminated if left in the open air or in a lab coat pocket.
