Maintaining the projector
www.gateway.com
Cleaning the projector
Keeping the projector clean and the vents free from dust helps keep it
performing at its best.
Cleaning the exterior
Always turn off the projector and wait for it to cool before cleaning it.
Use a damp, lint-free cloth to clean the projector case. Do not use abrasive or
solvent cleaners because they can damage the finish.
The projector is cooled by air circulated through the vents on the case, so keep
the vents free of dust. With the projector turned off and unplugged, brush the
dust away from the vents with a damp cloth. Be careful not to drip any water
into the vents. Do not attempt to clean dust from the inside the projector.
Cleaning the projector lens
Always turn off the projector and wait for it to cool before cleaning it.
Use a soft cloth and glass cleaner to clean the projector lens. Squirt a little
cleaner on the cloth (never directly on the lens), and wipe the lens with the
cloth.
Keep the lens cap on when the projector is not being used to protect the lens.
Warning Make sure that the projector is off, power is disconnected,
and the lamp is completely cool (minimum of 30 minutes)
before cleaning the projector.

Setting up the projector
■Read and follow all instructions marked on the product and in the documentation before you
operate the projector. Retain all safety and operating instructions for future use.
■Do not use this product near water or a heat source such as a radiator.
■Set up the projector on a stable work surface.
■The product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the rating label.
■If the projector is connected to a computer, make sure that the voltage selector switch is in the
proper position for your area. The voltage selector switch is set at the factory to the correct
voltage.
■Openings in the projector case are provided for ventilation. Do not block or cover these
openings. Make sure you provide adequate space, at least 6 inches (15 cm), around the projector
for ventilation when you set up your work area. Never insert objects of any kind into the
ventilation openings.
■Some products are equipped with a three-wire power cord to make sure that the product is
properly grounded when in use. The plug on this cord will fit only into a grounding-type outlet.
This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into an outlet, contact an electrician
to install the appropriate outlet.
■If you use an extension cord with this projector, make sure that the total ampere rating on the
products plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the extension cord ampere rating.
■If the projector is connected to a product fitted with a TV Tuner, cable, or satellite receiver card,
make sure that the antenna or cable system is electrically grounded to provide some protection
against voltage surges and buildup of static charges.
Care during use
■Do not walk on the power cord or allow anything to rest on it.
■Do not spill anything on the projector. The best way to avoid spills is to avoid eating and
drinking near the projector.
■When the projector is turned off, a small amount of electrical current still flows through the
projector. To avoid electrical shock, always unplug all power cables from the wall outlets and any
other cable connections before cleaning the projector.
■Unplug the projector from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified personnel if:
■The power cord or plug is damaged.
