cause serious injury. Do not use adhesives to prevent the screws from loosening and do not use oils or lubricants.
Caution
Do not place the document camera in an unstable location, such as on a shaky table or slanted surface. The document camera may drop or tip over, causing personal
injury. If you use a table, cart, or stand, make sure it is stable and will not fall over.
When using the mounting points under the document camera to secure it to a table, cart, or stand, fasten the bolts securely but do not overtighten them. Do not use
adhesives.
Cleaning and Liquids
Warning
Use a dry cloth (or, for stubborn stains, a moist cloth that has been wrung dry) for cleaning. Do not use liquid, aerosol cleaners, or solvents such as alcohol, thinner or
benzine.
Do not place any containers of liquid on top of or near the unit.
Do not spill liquid or spray fine mist into the document camera. Liquids entering the document camera may cause malfunction, fire, or electric shock. If you spilled liquid,
turn the power off, unplug the AC adapter from the electrical outlet, and contact your local distributor. Using the damaged device may cause fire or electric shock.

Remote Control Battery Safety
Warning
Incorrect battery usage may cause batteries to rupture and leak battery fluid, which could result in fire, injury, or corrosion of the remote control.
If liquid from a battery gets in your eyes, do not rub your eyes. Wash them well with clean water and contact a doctor immediately. If liquid enters your mouth, rinse
immediately with plenty of water and consult a doctor. If liquid from the battery comes in contact with your skin or clothes, wash with water to prevent possible skin
damage.
Keep batteries out of the reach of children. Batteries are a choking hazard and are very dangerous if swallowed.
Insert batteries so that the polarities (+ and -) are correct. Not doing so may cause leakage, overheating, or explosion.
Do not use a new battery and an old battery, or different types of batteries at the same time. Doing so may cause leakage, overheating, or explosion.
Remove the batteries if you will not be using the document camera for a long period of time. When a battery runs down, take it out of the device immediately. If a
discharged battery is left inside for a long time, gas emitted from the battery may cause leakage, overheating, explosion, or damage to the device.

Problems and Solutions
50
Problems Using an SD Card
Certain images don't appear
If you use your computer to copy images to the document camera's internal
memory or an SD card, you need to make sure their format is correct:
• Images must be DCF-compliant JPEG files to be displayed, such as
from a digital camera. Avoid editing your images, as this may change
their format and prevent them from being displayed.
• Images must be named using the format ABCD1234.JPG, where ABCD
is any combination of upper- or lowercase letters and 1234 is any
combination of numbers. For example: Pict0001, Pict0002, etc.
• Images must be placed in a folder named DCIM\123ABCDE, where 123
is any combination of numbers and ABCDE is any combination of
upper- or lowercase letters. If this folder structure doesn't exist, first
create a folder named DCIM, then create a folder within it with the
desired name (for example, 100EPSON).
Image files don't have the correct time stamp
The document camera does not have a built-in clock. Therefore, when you
view captured image files from your computer, they won't show the actual
time they were created.
Problems Connecting a Laptop
If you've connected a laptop computer (s p.20) but the image doesn't
appear on the screen, check the following:
• If you're using a Windows notebook:
Hold down the Fn key and press the function key (such as
CRT/LCD) that lets you display on an external monitor. On most
systems, the
screen and the projector, or display on both at the same time.
Check your monitor settings to make sure both the LCD screen and the
external monitor port are enabled. From the Control Panel, open the
Display utility. Click the Settings tab, then click Advanced. The method
for adjusting the settings varies by brand; you may need to click a
Monitor tab, then make sure the external monitor port is set as your
primary display and/or enabled. See your computer's documentation or
online help for details.
• If you're using an Apple Macintosh notebook with OS X:
From the Apple menu, select System Preferences, then click Display or

The document camera's USB Mode setting may be set to Mass Storage.
You need to change this setting to Application. First disconnect the USB
