Getting the projector status

To get the projector status:

S Press the enter button on the projector or remote control and go to Help.

This screen shows information and status for the projector.

Cleaning the projector and lens

You can clean the projector housing using a soft, dry cloth.

You can clean the front lens of the projector using the following recommendations. You cannot clean any of the internal surfaces.

???To minimize the risk of damaging or scratching the lens surface, blow dust particles off the lens with clean, dry, deionized air.

???If this method does not work, use the following method:

a.Wipe the lens in a single direction with a clean, dry cloth. Do not wipe back and forth across the lens.

b.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.

CAUTION: Cleaning requires special consideration:

???Do not spray any type of fluid or cleaner directly on the lens surface. Cleaners might damage the lens.

???Do not use fabric softener when washing a cleaning cloth or softener sheets when drying the cloth. Chemicals on the cloth might damage the surface of the lens.

???Do not store a cleaning cloth in contact with the lens for a long time because doing so contaminates the lens with dye from the cloth. The cloth can be contaminated if left in the open air.

Performing routine maintenance 41

Replacing the lamp module

As the projector operates over time, the brightness of the projector lamp gradually decreases and the lamp becomes more susceptible to breakage. You can install a new lamp at any time to bring the projector up to factory-fresh brightness. We recommend replacing the lamp if a warning message is displayed.

WARNING! Replacing the lamp module requires special consideration:

???To reduce the risk of injury, be careful when removing the lamp module as broken glass might be present. If the lamp is broken, contact HP about repairs that might be required due to glass fragments.

???This digital projector lamp contains a small amount of mercury. If the lamp breaks, adequately ventilate the area where the breakage occurred, discard any nearby food and drink, and thoroughly clean the table surface around the projector. Wash your hands after cleaning the area or handling a broken lamp. Disposal of this lamp may be regulated due to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling information, please contact your local authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance (www.eiae.org). You can find safety information about the lamp at: www.hp.com/hpinfo/globalcitizenship/environment/productdata

5 Installing Permanently

Installing the projector

Choosing cables

If you are permanently installing the projector or using it with long cables, consider the following suggestions when planning the installation:

???Use high-quality cables. Use only video cables that are made with 75-ohm coaxial cable and connectors. For high-resolution video, use low-loss video cables. For standard audio, use audio cables that are shielded. For digital audio, use 75-ohm coaxial cables.

???Minimize cable length as much as possible. For video cables longer than 6 m (20 ft), use low-loss coaxial cables. For standard audio cables longer than 6 m (20 ft), use 12-gauge wire.

???Do not run audio or video cables next to power or network cables. If they must cross, cross them at 90 degrees.

???If you are installing cables in walls, use cables with necessary approvals, such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL) approval.

???If you are running cables above a dropped ceiling, you must use plenum-rated cables if the space above the ceiling is open to the space above other rooms. You must use plenum- rated cables if you are running cables in a duct.

???Before installing cables permanently, check the setup with the final cables in the open.

Installing on a table

This installation is covered in detail in Chapter 1. See ???Setting up the projector??? on page 13 for more information.

Installing for rear projection

1.Place the projector 1.5 to 10 m (5 to 33 ft) behind a translucent screen that is designed for rear projection.

See ???Setting up the projector??? on page 13 for more instructions.

2.Press enter, go to Setup > Picture orientation. Then select Rear Normal.

Locking the projector

The projector includes a built in slot to secure the projector with a cable and lock (such as the Kensington MicroSaver lock system, available at many computer stores).

1.Wrap the cable around a secure object, such as a table leg. Loop the cable to create a slip knot around the stationary object, and be sure it cannot slip off.

2.Insert the lock 1 into the hole and twist the key 2.
