the cloth as this may contaminate the cloth.
1. Wipe the lens in a single direction with the
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.

Power Cords
The projector power supply is provided with Automatic Line
Switching (ALS). This feature allows the projector to operate on
input voltages between 100-120V or 200-240V.
The power cord set (flexible cord or wall plug) received with the
projector meets the requirements for use in the country where you
purchased the equipment.
If you need to obtain a power cord for a different country, you
should purchase a power cord that is approved for use in that
country.
The power cord must be rated for the product and for the voltage
and current marked on the product’s electrical ratings label. The
voltage and current rating of the cord should be greater than the
voltage and current rating marked on the product. In addition, the
diameter of the wire must be a minimum of 0.75 mm
2
and the length of the cord must be between 6 feet (1.8 m) and
12 feet (3.6 m). If you have questions about the type of power
cord to use, contact your Compaq authorized service provider.
A power cord should be routed so that it is not likely to be walked
on or pinched by items placed upon it or against it. Particular
attention should be paid to the plug, electrical outlet, and the
point where the cord exits from the product.

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, or 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.
