Care and Maintenance
This section 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

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.

Using the Compaq Video Adapter
Identifying the Buttons and Connectors
The Compaq Video Adapter converts video signals for
compatibility with the Compaq MP1600 Microportable Projector.
The Compaq Video Adapter is not included with the
✎
Compaq MP1600 Microportable Projector. It is sold separately.
For information on purchasing this video adapter, call your
Compaq authorized dealer, seller, or reseller. To locate a
reseller, call Compaq at 1-800-AT-COMPAQ or visit the
Compaq web site at http://www.compaq.com.

Using the Compaq Video Adapter C-1
Attaching the Video Adapter to the
MP1600 Microportable Projector
To attach the Compaq Video Adapter to the projector:
1. Push in the two buttons 1 on the bottom sides of the video
adapter.
2. Insert the hooks on top of the video adapter into the upper
slots 2 on the projector and, at the same time, insert the
adapter plug into the digital connector 3 on the back of the
projector.
3. Release the buttons on the sides of the video adapter to
complete the connection.
C-2 Using the Compaq Video Adapter
Connecting a Video Player
If your video player uses a round, one-prong composite video
✎
connector, use the RCA video cable. If your video player uses
a round, four-prong S-video connector, use the S-video cable.
Both cables are included with the Compaq Video Adapter.
1. Plug the RCA video cable into the "video out" port on the
video player and the video port on the video adapter. If you
are using the S-video cable, connect it to the "s-video out"
connector on the video player and the s-video port on the
video adapter.
2. Turn on the projector first, then the video player.
3. Push the Source button on the back of the video adapter to
switch the projector signal from data (computer icon) to video
(TV icon). The data mode receives computer inputs and the
video mode receives video input such as a TV tuner, VCR,
video, and camera.
With the Compaq Video Adapter attached, the projector is
compatible with major video standards such as NTSC, PAL and
SECAM. Use the on-screen menu to adjust the video performance
manually or press the Resync button to optimize it automatically.
