Frequently Asked Questions - MP1400 COMPAQ

How do I connect my laptop to the Compaq MP1400 projector?

Connect the VGA cable from your laptop's VGA port to the Computer In port on the projector. For audio, connect a 3.5mm audio cable from your laptop's headphone jack to the projector's Audio In port. Select the correct input source using the Source button on the remote or control panel.

How do I replace the lamp in the MP1400?

Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord. Wait 30 minutes for the lamp to cool. Remove the lamp cover screw and slide off the cover. Unlock the lamp module, carefully remove it, and insert the new lamp (type 200W UHP). Secure the module, replace the cover, and tighten the screw. Reset the lamp timer in the menu (Menu > Settings > Lamp Hours Reset).

Why is the projector displaying a blank or blue screen?

Check that the lens cap is removed. Ensure the projector is turned on and the lamp is lit. Verify the correct input source is selected. Make sure the connected device is powered on and sending a signal. Try a different cable or source.

How do I adjust the keystone correction?

Press the Keystone button on the remote or access Menu > Display > Keystone. Use the arrow keys to correct vertical distortion. The adjustment range is ±15 degrees.

What is the recommended cleaning procedure for the air filter?

Clean the air filter every 100 hours of use. Turn off the projector and unplug it. Remove the filter cover, take out the filter, and gently vacuum or wash it with mild soap and water. Rinse and dry completely before reinstalling.

Can I project onto a white wall instead of a screen?

Yes, a white, flat wall works well. For best image quality, use a matte white projection screen. Ensure the wall is free of texture and color variation.

How do I reset the lamp timer?

Go to Menu > Settings > Lamp Hours Reset. Select Yes to confirm. The lamp timer will reset to zero. This should be done after each lamp replacement.

What should I do if the projector overheats and shuts down?

Ensure ventilation slots are not blocked. Clean the air filter. Move the projector away from walls or heat sources. Reduce ambient temperature. Turn off the projector, let it cool for 15 minutes, then restart.

How do I clean the lens?

Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with lens cleaner or water. Gently wipe the lens in a circular motion. Never use abrasive cleaners or paper towels.

Why is the image flickering or unstable?

Check cable connections for looseness. Adjust the Frequency and Tracking settings in the menu (Menu > Image > Frequency/Tracking). Try a different refresh rate on your source device (e.g., 60 Hz).

Care and Maintenance

This chapter explains how to care for and maintain your Compaq projector during normal everyday use.

Protecting the Projector

To protect your projector from overheating and other types of damage, follow these suggestions:

■ Use only a power source and connection appropriate for this projector as indicated on the marking label.
- 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.
■ 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.
■ Unplug the projector from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
■ 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.
■ Do not drop the projector or place it on an unstable surface.
■ Do not expose this product to rain or moisture.

■ Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not walk on the cord.
- 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.

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 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. Do not directly touch the lens surface.

1. Wipe the lens in a single direction with the clean, lint-free, 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.

Replacing the Projector Lamp Module

When the projector lamp reaches its end of life, it may pop when it burns out. The lamp will need to be replaced before the projector can be used again.

WARNING: When the lamp reaches its end of life, it may pop or rupture. To reduce the risk of personal injury, be careful when removing the lamp cover as broken glass may be present. Never open the lamp cover while the projector is operating or when the lamp is hot.

The projector will alert you when the lamp approaches its failure mode or end of life. When the message “Lamp May Fail Soon - Replacement Suggested” displays on the projection screen, you should change the lamp as soon as possible.

Contact your local Compaq authorized dealer, seller, or reseller to purchase a replacement lamp or have the lamp changed. To locate a reseller near you, call 1-800-AT-COMPAQ. To purchase the lamp directly from Compaq, visit the Compaq web site at http://www.Compaq.com/products/projectors.

1. Turn off the power to the projector by pressing the Standby button ①.

2. Allow the projector to cool down for at least 30 minutes.

WARNING: The lamp assembly operates at a very high temperature. To reduce the risk of personal injury, allow the projector to cool down for at least 30 minutes before opening the lamp cover. Never open the lamp cover while the projector is operating or when the lamp is hot.

1. Turn off the main power switch ②.
2. Disconnect the power cord ③.

1. Use the provided Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw ④ from the lamp cover.

2. Remove the cover ⑤.

3. On the left side of the lamp module, push the electrical connector ⑥ up to disengage it from the projector base.

4. Remove the three screws ⑦ from the lamp module.
