2-S * User's Guide

CALITIOWi

Be extremely careful when using the projector

with a tripod. The following precautions should be observed:

• You can mount the projector on a tripod by yourselfHowever, it is easier to do this if someone else is holding the projector while you connect the mount.

• Make sure that the tripod legs and camera mount are securely locked.

• Do not place the tripod and projector in any pathways that you or your audience will be using during the presentation.

• Make sure that all cables are secured and out of the way. In particular, be extremely careful of the power cord and any extension cords.

Chapter S • Detsiied Setup

Closing the Projector

To close the projector, reverse the opening procedures,

1. Rotate the projection mirror assembly forward and down until it is in the fully dosed position.

2. Rotate the hinged cover assembly forward and down until it is in the fully closed position.

CAUTIOiy! Gently dose the mirror and hinged cover assembly. Forcing them to snap into place may damage the mirror assembly. Close the assemblies in the proper order. Do not attempt to dose the projector by only moving the cover assembly.
