4 Introduction Quick start The following steps outline the basic setup procedure for connecting the projector to your computer. Detailed information about connections for various computer sources is described in Chapter 3, Detailed setup. 1 Aiming the projector lens at the projection screen, place the projector on a solid, flat surface, at a right angle (perpendicular) to the projection screen and parallel to the floor. Place the projector the proper distance from your viewing screen.
Introduction 5 4 To supply power to the projector, connect the power cable to the power port on the rear panel of the projector. Then connect the power cord to an appropriate power outlet. Turn on the power switch located on the rear panel of the projector, beside the power port. After approximately 30 seconds after the power is on, a solid-colored image is projected onto your screen. Note: You may detect a high-pitched sound as the colorwheel and fans are reaching operating speed.
6 Introduction Note: Whenever you connect the projector to a computer or video source for the first time, the projector defaults to the factory settings. Due to operational differences between computers and video sources, it may be necessary to make minor adjustments to the settings. See Image optimization in Chapter 4, Using the projector for more information. The projector stores any modified settings, even when the power is turned off.

4 Maintenance Storage, cleaning and care Store the Polaview Model 220 Projector either in its original shipping container or carrying case to guard it against dust and lint. Use a non-abrasive, lint-free cloth and non-abrasive cleaning solution, such as an eyeglass or camera-lens cleaning solution, on the lens to keep it clean. Spray the cleaning solution directly on the cleaning cloth, never on the lens.
30 Maintenance Replacing the lamp assembly When you notice that the output from the projector lamp starts to weaken, you need to replace the lamp assembly (part number 623374). Caution: Replace the lamp assembly at the first sign of the bulb weakening. Do not wait for bulb to burn out as it is possible for the failing bulb to burst. 1 Turn off the projector. 2 Unplug the projector power cord from the wall socket and from the power receptacle.
Maintenance 31 Remove the lamp assembly Unlock the lamp assembly by rotating the locking key on the right side of the lamp assembly counter-clockwise onehalf revolution.
