Usage Guidelines
Do not look directly into the projection lens when the projector is turned on. The bright light may harm your eyes.
Do not block the grills on the projector. Restricting the air flow can cause it to overheat and turn off. If this happens, you must wait a minute before attempting to turn it back on.
Handle the projector as you would any product with glass components. Be especially careful not to drop it.
Avoid leaving the projector in direct sunlight or extreme cold for extended periods of time. If this happens, allow it to reach room temperature before use.
Transport the projector in a vendor-approved hard or soft case.
If You Need Assistance
The first place to look for help is in this manual. Be sure to check the guidelines in “Troubleshooting” on page 34.
If those sources don't answer your question, call your Dukane dealer. You can also call Dukane Customer Service directly at: 630-584-2300 or Toll-Free at: 1-800-676-2487

Now you’re ready to power up the projector and your computer. Skip to “Powering up the Projector” on page 13.
Connecting a Video Player
If your video device (VCR, DVD player, video camera) uses a round, one-prong composite video connector, use the composite audio/video (A/V) cable provided. The end with 2 connectors attaches to the projector, the other end attaches to the video device.
If your video device uses a round, four-prong S-video con­nector, use an S-video cable. S-video generates a higher quality image.
Plug the A/V cable’s round yellow connector into the “video-
1
out” connector on your video device (Figure 7). This connec­tor may be labeled “To Monitor.”
If you’re using an S-video cable, connect the round black connector to the “S-video out” connector on the video device.

troubleshoot the projector
Cleaning the Lens
Follow these steps to clean the projection lens:
Apply a non-abrasive camera lens cleaner to a soft, dry cloth.
1
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.
Lightly wipe the cleaning cloth over the lens in a circular
2
motion.
If you don’t intend to use the projector immediately, replace
3
the lens cap.
Cleaning the Dust Filters
The dust filters catch dust and other particles in the air. If the fil­ters become clogged, the projector does not cool properly and may malfunction.
Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord.
1
Turn the projector upside down and remove the screws on the
2
filter doors.

Replacing the Projection Lamp
The lamp hour timer in the Service Info menu counts the number of hours the lamp has been in use. When the timer reaches 2000 hours, the Alarm LED lights red, indicating that it is time to change the lamp. You can order new lamp housings from your Dukane dealer. See “Accessories” on page 40 for information.
Follow these steps to replace the projection lamp:
Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord.
1
Wait 60 minutes to allow the projector to cool thoroughly.
2
Loosen the three captive screws on the lamp housing.

WARNING: To avoid burns,
allow the projector to cool for at
least 60 minutes before you
replace the lamp. Never extract
the lamp housing while the projec-
tor is operating.
WARNING: Be extremely careful
when removing the lamp housing.
In the unlikely event that the bulb
ruptures, small glass fragments
may be generated. The lamp mod-
ule is designed to contain these
fragments, but use caution when
removing the lamp module.

Turn the remote face down in your hand.
1
Push the release tab on the battery door toward the top of the
2
remote and lift the door off.

Troubleshooting
LEDs
The Alarm LED on top of the projector (Figure 11 on page 18) will alert you to certain problems.
A solid red Alarm LED means it is time to change the lamp. See page 31.
A blinking red Alarm LED means the projector is overheat­ing. Turn off the projector and allow it to cool.
The other LED on top of the projector indicates the normal oper­ating state of the projector.
A solid green LED means the projector is on.
A blinking green LED means the projector is in DPMS mode. See page 25.
An blinking orange LED means the projector is going into standby mode; a solid orange LED means the projector is in standby mode. See page 14 for detail on standby mode.
34
Problem: The projector is not running
Make sure that the power cord is properly connected to a func-
tional AC electrical outlet. Make sure that the power cord is also properly connected to the projector.
If the projector is plugged into a power strip, make sure the
power strip is turned on.
Make sure the projector is turned on. Verify that the LED is
solid green.
Problem: Projector is running, but nothing appears on projec­tion screen
Make sure you have removed the lens cap on the projection
lens at the front of the projector.
Verify that the Black button on the remote is not activated.
Check the projector’s lamp housing to ensure that it is securely
connected to the bottom case. See “Replacing the Projection Lamp” on page 31.
Problem: Only the start-up screen displays
Verify that the cables are connected correctly. See page 9 for
connection procedures.
Make sure that the cables do not have any bent pins.
Verify that the proper input source is connected. See “Source/
Select (keypad only) or Computer and Video (remote only)” on page 18.
Try resetting the projector. See page 23.
You might need to turn everything off and power up the
equipment again in the proper order. Refer to your com­puter’s documentation to determine the correct order.
Make sure your laptop’s external video port is turned on. See
the “Portable and Laptop Activation Chart” on page 42 or your computer’s manual for details.
Make sure your computer’s video board is installed and con-
figured correctly.
Make sure your computer has a compatible video board. The
projector isn’t CGA or EGA compatible.
If you’re using Windows 98:
Open “My Computer” icon, the Control Panel folder and
1
then the Display icon.
Click the Settings tab.
2
Verify that the Desktop area is set to 1280x1024 or less.
3
Problem: Color or text not being projected
You might need to adjust the brightness up or down until the
text is visible. Refer to “Brightness” on page 22 for more infor­mation.
Problem: The screen resolution is not right
Make sure the computer’s video card is set for a resolution of
no greater than 1280x1024.
Problem: Image isn’t centered on the screen
Move the projector to reposition the image.
Reposition the image using the menu. Refer to page 24.
Be sure the projector lens is at a 90 degree angle to the screen.
35
Maintenance & Troubleshooting
Problem: Image is too wide or narrow for screen
Adjust the zoom or projector placement.
Adjust the width of the image. See page 24.
Problem: Image is out of focus
Turn the projection lens to focus the image.
Make sure the projection screen is at least 3.6 feet (1 m) from
the projector, and that the projector is at a 90 degree angle to the screen.
Check the projection lens to see if it needs cleaning.
Problem: Image and menus are reversed left to right
Rear projection mode is probably turned on. Turn Rear off in
the System menu. The image should immediately return to forward projection. See page 25.
Problem: Projected image is distorted
Try resetting the projector. See page 23.
Adjust the tuning of the image. See page 24.
Problem: Projected colors don’t match the computer or video player’s colors
Just as there are differences in the displays of different moni-
tors, there are often differences between the computer image and the projected image. Adjust the brightness, color and/or contrast in the Main menu. See page 22.
Problem: Lamp seems to be getting dimmer
The lamp begins to lose brightness when it has been in use for
a long time. Replace the lamp as described in “Replacing the Projection Lamp” on page 31.
Problem: Lamp shuts off
A minor power surge may cause the lamp to shut off. Turn off
the projector, wait at least a minute, then turn it back in.
Make sure the vents on the bottom and back of the projector
are not blocked.

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.
1
Set the number of colors you want.
2
Open the Control Strip, then click on the monitor icon.
3
Select “Turn Video Mirroring On.”
4
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:
Turn off video mirroring.
1
Open the Monitors control panel.
2
Move the white menu bar to Monitor 2 to set the projector as
3
the primary monitor.
Restart the PowerBook.
4
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
1
Sound.
In the Resolution list, choose the SimulScan mode, then click
2
OK.
If this changes your display settings, a dialog box appears.
3
Click OK to confirm the change.
