Important Safety Instructions

When using your projector, always follow basic safety precautions:

1. Read and understand all instructions before using this equipment.

2. Operate this projector with 110- to 125-volt 60 Hz current only. Incorrect voltage can cause projector
malfunction.

3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children, or others who may not
understand the need for these precautions. Do not leave the projector unattended during use.

4. Be careful not to touch hot parts. For lamp replacement, allow the module to cool before touching the
lamp and the surrounding area. Do not place the lamp module on heat-sensitive surfaces.

5. Do not operate your projector if the cord is damaged or if the projector has been dropped or damaged
(see “How to Obtain Service” on page 29).

6. Position the cord so that it is not tripped over, pulled, or placed in contact with hot surfaces.

7. If an extension cord is necessary, use a cord with a current rating at least equal to that of the projector.
Cords rated for less amperage than the projector may overheat.

8. Alwaysunplug the projector from the electrical outlet before cleaning and servicing and when it is not
in use.

9. Allow the projector to cool before storing.

10. Do not immerse this equipment in water or other liquids.

11. Do not disassemble this projector. Use a qualified service technician when service or repair is required.
Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock the next time the projector is used.

12. Use only safety electrical low-voltage (SELV) devices.

13. The use of an accessory attachment not recommended by the manufacturer may increase risk of
damage.

14. Keep the air-flow vents unobstructed.

Loading the Slide Tray

KODAK Slide Trays are available in 80- and 140-slide capacities. Use a
140-slide tray if you use thin-mounted slides (1/16 in. / 1.6 mm) and need
the larger capacity. Use an 80 cpacity tray if any of your slides have thick
mounts (1/8 in. / 2.5 mm).

Note: Do not attempt to project slides mounted with sticky or loose tape.

Place the tray over the center post of the projector. Align the "0" slot with the
gate index; the tray will drop into position.

If your 140-slide tray does not drop easily, secure the lock ring, invert the
tray, and align the index hole with the index notch. Slide and hold the tray
release latch in the direction of the arrow, and turn the bottom plate until the
index holeandnotchalign.Then release the latch. If you usean80-slidetray,
rotate the metal plate on the bottom of the tray until it locks into position.

Selecting Slide
Projection Lenses

KODAK CAROUSEL® Slide Projector 13

When buying a lens, consider features such as focal length (measured in
millimetres), aperture (designed as an f/stop), and the lens design (curved or
flat).

When selecting a lens, remember that the shorter the focal length (i.e., the
smaller the f/number), the brighter the projected image. Also, a curved-field
lens, in combination with cardboard open face mounts from an automated
mounting process, provide superior projection quality. A flat-field lens is the
best choice for glass-mounted slides.

Operation

Choosing a Curved­or Flat-Field Lens

The lens you select depends on how you use your projector and what type of
slide mount you use. So that you may choose the lens that best meets your
needs, we do not include a lens with the projector.

To obtain the best results of a projected image, insert slides with the emulsion
side toward the projection lens, slide curve toward the light source.

A flat-field lens works best for:

• general home projection

• glass mounts

• plastic mounts

• mixed mounts

• non-embossed cardboard mounts

• rear-projection applications

• duplicated slides

A curved-field lens works best for:

• embossed cardboard mounts

(Embossed mounts have beveled edges around the aperture. Kodak
Premium Processing and Kodak Processing labs provide embossed

mounts.)

Maintenance

To ensure a long life and trouble-free operation for your projector:

• Allow the air to flow freely around the projector.

• Do not recirculate warm air.

• Keep the projector dust free.

Your CAROUSEL Projector requires no lubrication; all bearings are self­lubricating.

Projection Lamps Included: FHS lamp, 70-hour lamp life (medium-brightness)

Sampling of other lamps:

EXY (200 hours/less brightness)

EXR (35 hours/maximum brightness)

Note: An EXW lamp is not recommended for older models of CAROUSEL
Projectors. Contact the Kodak Information Center at 1-800-242-2424 in the
U.S. or 1-800-465-6325 in Canada if you need help identifying your
particular model.

Lamp Tips • Projector operation on line voltages above 125 volts greatly

reduces the lamp life.

• Unplug the projector before changing the lamp.
