effect on lubricants used in the projector and may cause malfunctions. Projectors that are operated in
dusty environments should have maintenance more frequently.

· Lens cleaner · Clean, soft cloth
· Glass cleaner (no solvent based cleaners) · Lens tissues
· Soft bristle brushes · Can of compressed air
· Cotton swabs
How to clean your projector
Follow these maintenance instructions for safe, efficient cleaning of your projector. Be sure your projector
is unplugged and cool before performing any maintenance on it.
1. Clean the projector housing with a clean, soft cloth and glass cleaner.
2. Inspect the gate for cleanliness. If the gate area is dirty use a brush and compressed air to clean it.
3. If the gate rails are dirty or have a white powder coating, slides may not fall properly. Spray a cotton
swab with glass cleaner and gently scrub the rails to remove the powder buildup. Use a dry cotton
swab to remove excess cleaner.
CAUTION: When cleaning gate rails do not bend the pressure pad.
4. Loss of illumination can be caused by a dirty mirror, condenser lens, or projection lens. Remove the
lamp module. Clean the mirror using lens cleaner or clear water, and a soft lint-free cloth or lens
tissue. Do not wipe the mirror with a dry cloth.
5. Clean the condenser lens with lens cleaner or water and a lint-free cloth or lens tissue.
6. Clean the projection lens with lens cleaner or clear water. Do not clean the lens with a dry cloth.
7. Keep the air exhaust grille clean. Use compressed air and a brush to remove dirt. Inspect this area
often! If it appears dirty, your projector may require professional cleaning* and should be taken to an
Authorized Kodak Repair Shop.
*Cleaning is not covered under the Manufacturers Warranty.

Operation
The KODAK EKTAGRAPHIC III AFT Projector is
equipped with controls to adjust the FADE and VIEW
cycles. They are located under the projector handle. It is
shipped with factory default settings of:
· AUTOMATIC AFT mode - ON ( I )
· VIEW time - 10 seconds
· FADE Up and Down - 0.5 second each (total
1 second)
To use:
1. Install a loaded slide tray.
2. Turn the slide projector ON by selecting low or high lamp position on the control panel.
3. The projector will automatically advance slides, fading between slide changes, and will continue until
the projector is turned off.
To adjust VIEW control:
Using a small, flat-blade screwdriver, turn the VIEW screw clockwise or counterclockwise to increase or
decrease the amount of time you want the image projected (5 to 15 seconds).
To adjust FADE control:
Using a small, flat-blade screwdriver, turn the FADE screw clockwise to fade up and down (0.5 to
4 seconds). Total fade time is two times your selection.
NOTE: You may make these adjustments with the projector lamp either ON or OFF.
To turn off AFT mode:
Using a flat-blade screwdriver, move the Automatic AFT mode to the OFF ( O ) position. The projector can
now be used as a standard EKTAGRAPHIC III A Projector. Should you need a user manual for this model,
you can obtain one by calling the Kodak Information Center in the U.S. at 1-800-242-2424, or in Canada at
1-800-465-6325.
Tips
· Keep the operating environment clean; dust and dirt can negatively impact operation.
· To help maximize projector performance, clean the projector regularly following the maintenance
instructions included here.
· Keep extra lamps on hand.
· Have an extra lamp module on hand for quick lamp change. It only takes a few seconds to change a
lamp module, but it could take a while for a lamp to cool enough to change the lamp itself!
· For cooler operating temperature and longer lamp life, use an FHS lamp designed for use with
KODAK EKTAGRAPHIC Slide Projectors. If you wish to purchase this lamp, ask your local dealer to
order CAT No. 147 7678.
· Note your local dealer and service organization telephone numbers here for quick reference.
