Chapter 5 Taking Care of Your Qumi

Cleaning the Qumi

Cleaning the Qumi to remove dust and grime will help provide trouble-free operation.

Warning:

1. The Qumi should be turned off and unplugged before cleaning. Failure to do so

may result in injury or damage to the system.

2. Use only a dampened cloth when cleaning. Do not allow water to enter the
ventilation openings on the Qumi.

3. If a small amount of water gets into the interior of the Qumi while cleaning,
unplug the Qumi and set in a well ventilated area for several hours before using.

4. If a large amount of water gets into the interior of the Qumi when cleaning,
unplug the Qumi and have it serviced.

Cleaning the Lens

Optical lens cleaning solutions can be purchased from most camera and other retail
stores. To clean the Qumi lens, perform the following steps:

1. Apply a small amount of the optic lens cleaning solution to a clean and soft cloth. (Do
not apply the cleaning solution directly to the lens.)

2. Gently wipe the lens in a circular motion.

Caution:

1. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.

2. To prevent discoloration or fading, do not allow the cleaning solution to contact

the Qumi case.

FAQs

1� Does Qumi work with a personal computer, notebook or netbook?

Yes. Use the provided VGA cable or HDMI cable. The Qumi can connect to a PC,
notebook or netbook if they have an appropriate HDMI or VGA port. To play audio,
a separate 3.5mm stereo mini-jack audio cable is required to connect to the Qumi’s

audio port.

2� Is it possible to connect the Qumi to a game console, such as a Microsoft®

Xbox or Sony® PS3?

Yes. The Qumi can be used to display content from an Xbox or PS3 console. This can
be done by connecting the HDMI cable from the game console to the Qumi.

3� Can the Qumi project content from a television?

Watching television content can be done by connecting a cable box, digital set-top­box or satellite receiver because televisions are only able to produce images on its
own screen. For example, if a cable box is used, it can be connected by an HDMI
cable to the Qumi.

4� How can an iPad® connect to the Qumi?

An Apple® iPad to VGA converter cable is required. To connect it to the Qumi, connect

the cable from the iPad to the converter. The VGA converter can then be connected
to the Qumi. The output of the iPad will be properly resized to t the Qumi’s native

resolution and full screen view.

11. How long will the LED light source in the Qumi last and can it be replaced?

The Qumi does not use a typical projector lamp. It uses a set of Light Emitting
Diodes (LED) to illuminate and project images. LED's have a greater lifespan
than conventional lamps; the Qumi is estimated to last 20,000 to 30,000 hours.
The lifespan of the LED depends on factors such as brightness, usage and
environmental conditions; however, LED brightness can decrease over time.
Please note that the LED modules are not replaceable.
