MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING

This section describes how to:

• clean the lens
• replace the projection lamp
• clean the projection lamp filter screens
• replace the batteries in the remote
  • use the security lock feature
  • troubleshoot the projector

Cleaning the Lens

Follow these steps to clean the projection lens:

I Apply a non-abrasive camera lens cleaner to a soft, dry cloth.
- Avoid using an excessive amount of cleaner, and don't apply the cleaner directly to the lens.
- Abrasive cleaners, solvents or other harsh chemicals might scratch the lens.
2 Lightly wipe the cleaning cloth over the lens in a circular motion.
3 If you don't intend to use the projector immediately, replace the lens cap.

Replacing the Projection Lamp

The lamp hour counter in the Status menu counts the number of hours the lamp has been in use. After 1,980 hours of use, the message “Change Lamp” temporarily appears on the screen when the projector is turned on. Change the lamp within the next 20 hours. After 2,000 hours, the lamp will not light. You can order new lamp modules from your InFocus dealer. See “Accessories” on pageT56 for information.

Follow these steps to replace the projection lamp:

I Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord.
2 Wait 30 minutes to allow the projector to cool thoroughly.

WARNING: To avoid burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 30 minutes before you open the lamp module door. Never extract the lamp module while the projector is operating.

WARNING: Be extremely careful when removing the lamp module. In the unlikely event that the bulb ruptures, small glass fragments may be generated. The lamp module is designed to contain these fragments, but use caution when removing the lamp module.

3 Invert the projector on a soft flat surface, then push the ridge on the lamp door toward the back (Figure 33). The arrow on the lamp door should point to the unlock icon on the bottom of the projector. Lift the door up.

8 Tighten the screws on the outside of the module.

9 Replace the lamp door by inserting the hooks on the lamp door into the slots on the projector and pressing the lamp door into place. The arrow on the lamp door should point to the lock icon on the bottom of the projector. If the lamp door does not fit properly or bulges out, remove the door and re-seat the lamp module.

10 Plug in the power cord and press the green power button to turn the projector back on.

II To reset the lamp hour counter in the Status window, press and hold the volume - button, then press the source button (while still holding down the volume - button) for 5 seconds. Verify that the counter was reset by viewing the counter in the Status window.

WARNING: Do not drop the lamp module or touch the glass bulb! The glass may shatter and cause injury.

Cleaning the Projection Lamp Filter Screens

In dirty or dusty environments, the dust filter screens on the lamp module can become clogged, causing high temperatures inside the lamp module. These high temperatures can cause premature lamp failure. Routine maintenance to remove dust and dirt from the screens lowers the lamp operating temperature and prolongs lamp life. To maximize lamp life you may want to clean the screen every 250 hours.

I Remove the lamp module. Refer to "Replacing the Projection Lamp" on pageT45 for instructions.

2 Examine the dust filter screens on each side of the lamp module. If necessary, use compressed or canned air to clean the screens. Then use a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol to lightly wipe each screen. After you've wiped each screen, use the compressed or canned air to blow away remaining contaminants.

FIGURE 36

Lamp module screens

3 Before you replace the lamp, use the compressed or canned air to clean the lamp housing in the projector.

4 Replace the lamp and lamp door.

Replacing the Batteries in the Remote Control

The life of the batteries depends on how often and how long you use the remote. Symptoms of low battery charge include erratic responses when using the remote and a reduced range of operation.

Follow these steps to replace the batteries:

I Turn the remote face down in your hand.
2 Push the tab on the battery door toward the top of the remote and lift the door off.
3 Remove the old batteries and dispose of them in an environmentally proper manner.
4 Install two new AAA alkaline batteries. Make sure you install each in the correct direction.

Using Video Mirroring with a PowerBook Computer

When you turn video mirroring (called SimulScan in newer PowerBooks—see below) on, the projector displays the same information that appears on your PowerBook's built-in screen. When video mirroring is off, the projector acts like a separate display.

To turn on video mirroring for the first time:

• Open the Monitors control panel; click on Monitor 2.
  2 Set the number of colors you want.
  3 Open the Control Strip, then click on the monitor icon.
  4 Select "Turn Video Mirroring On."

Now you can turn video mirroring on and off from the Control Strip without having to open the Monitors control panel again.

When using video mirroring and high color graphics such as slide shows, the projected image occasionally might turn black and white. If this happens, perform the following steps:

I Turn off video mirroring.
2 Open the Monitors control panel.
3 Move the white menu bar to Monitor 2 to set the projector as the primary monitor.
4 Restart the PowerBook.

Using SimulScan

Some newer PowerBooks display images on an external monitor or projector differently than previous ones. When using SimulScan, the projector displays the same information that appears on your PowerBook

To select SimulScan:

• Open the Control Panel, then double-click Monitors and Sound.
  2 In the Resolution list, choose the SimulScan mode, then click OK.
  3 If this changes your display settings, a dialog box appears. Click OK to confirm the change.

NOTE: Use the graph and table to help you determine projected image sizes.
