This manual covers all of the Desktop Projector halogen models.

These projectors have many aspects in common. Unless otherwise

indicated, the information contained within this manual is

common to all models.

Where controls, operations, or other aspects differ between

models, the projectors will be distinguished with regard to video

compatibility. Models that support video will be referred to as

audio/video-enabled. Models that do not support video will be

referred to as audio-enabled.

All Proxima Desktop Projector halogen models come Cyclops-

capable. Cyclops is an interactive pointer system that functions

C y c lo p s

In t e r a c t iv e

P o in t e r like a cordless mouse and lets you control your computer and

S y s t e m

software from the projection screen.

W h a t ’s in t h e

B o x ?

After you’ve opened the box and removed the Desktop Projector

and shrink-wrapped accessory packs, make sure you have all of the

items shown in Figure 1-2.

C A U T IO N ! The Desktop Projector should be treated like any

other precision optical instrument. Handle it carefully.

by the brightness of the light.

monitor before you turn on the computer, so that the

computer properly senses the projector during its start-up

routine.

10. Rotate the projector’s focus ring until the title screen image is

clear and sharp.

C A U T IO N ! Be extremely careful when you use the projector

with a tripod. You should observe the following precautions:

☞ꢀ

• You can mount the projector on a tripod by yourself.

However, it is easier to do this if someone else is holding the

projector while you connect the tripod.

• Make sure the tripod’s legs and camera mount are securely

locked.

• Do not place the tripod and projector in any pathways that

you or your audience will be using during the presentation.

• Make sure that all cables are secured and out of the way. In

particular, be extremely careful of the power cord and any

extension cords.

To attach the tripod to the projector:

1. Grasp the projector by the handle and stand it on its side.

2. Holding the tripod sideways, screw its threaded camera mount

into the connector on the bottom of the projector.

3. Extend and lock the tripod’s legs.

4. Grasp the projector by its handle and place your other hand

under the unit (the side opposite the handle). Lift and turn the

projector to its normal operating position on top of the tripod.

C lo s in g t h e P r o je c t o r

To close the projector, reverse the opening procedures.

1. Gently rotate the projection mirror assembly forward and

down until it is in the fully closed position.

2. Gently rotate the hinged cover assembly forward and down

until it is in the fully closed position.

4. Attach the appropriate video terminator to the MONITOR

end of the Y-cable. For IBM compatibles, use part number

C936; for Macintosh systems, use part number C935.

N o t e : If your Desktop Projector is unable to project an image

at the same time your laptop monitor displays an image, refer to

your laptop documentation for information on switching between

the internal screen and the video port.

S p e c ia l C o n f ig u r a t io n s

If your computer has an internal monitor but no external video

capability (such as Macintosh Performa 575, PowerMac 5200,

and certain PowerBooks), you need a video adapter card in order

to attach the projector.

Setup for a third-party adapter is identical to the procedures

outlined in the previous section Desktop Computers. Contact your

dealer, Proxima Customer Service, or third-party supplier for

more information about an appropriate video adapter.

Keystoning occurs when the front of the Desktop Projector is not

perpendicular to the projection screen (the vertical plane) or when

it’s not placed parallel to the floor (the horizontal plane). Key-

stoning also occurs when the projector is tilted sideways.

To correct keystoning, always make sure that the projector is at a

right angle to the screen in the horizontal plane. The projector is

properly aligned if the top and bottom of the projected image are

equal in length and parallel to the floor.

SOURCE is both a status and selection box. When you connect a

video input to an Audio/video-enabled model, this setting

identifies the input source detected by the projector.

If the projector detects an NTSC source, it defaults to that

setting. The projector cannot tell the difference between PAL or

SECAM. When PAL or SECAM is used, the Desktop Projector

defaults to PAL. The SOURCE setting allows you to select

SECAM as the video source input. (Use the STORE command to

set SECAM as the default.)

The Desktop Projector selects the best possible value based on the

incoming signal. If the image doesn’t look right (wrong colors,

image is off screen, image won’t sync properly, etc.), use the up or

down arrow keys to make an alternate selection.

If an OVERTEMP condition occurs, perform the following

checks while you allow the projector to cool:

• Verify that the room temperature is below 80° F (27° C).

• Check the intake grills and exhaust vents. Clear any

obstruction to the air flow.

• Check the filter elements. Clean or replace them if

necessary. For more information, please refer to Chapter 4.

• Check the rear and side exhaust vents. If the projector has

reached an OVERTEMP condition and the fans are

working, you should feel a strong rush of hot air from the

vents. If the fans are not working, the projector needs

service.

After the projector returns to its normal operating temperature,

the OVERTEMP light will go out. To turn the lamp back on

again, you must press the LAMP key on the control panel.

N o t e : The remote control’s LAMP key will not function after

an OVERTEMP condition until the lamp is turned on from the

There is very little effort required to care for and maintain your

Desktop Projector. Common sense and periodic maintenance will

ensure top performance.

An optional maintenance kit is available. It includes the following

materials:

• Two Halogen lamps

• Lens cleaning fluid

• Lens tissue

• Top and front air filters

• Can of compressed air

The lamps, lenses, mirrors, and LCD panel have been carefully

aligned at the factory to give you the clearest, brightest image

possible. However, mishandling your projector can misalign or

damage the optical elements. Be careful when you use or move

your projector.

C A U T IO N ! The projector contains sensitive circuitry and

optics. Protect it from potential fluid spills.

☞ꢀ

C le a n in g t h e

L e n s a n d

M ir r o r

From time to time, you’ll need to clean the optics on the lens and

mirror assembly. To clean the projection lens or the mirror:

1. Take a piece of lens tissue and form it into a loose swab. Wet it

with lens cleaning fluid or denatured alcohol, and gently move

it over the lens or mirror surface.

2. Take a part of the lens tissue that you haven’t touched, and

repeat the process, going over the lens or mirror in another

direction.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until no smudges or particles can be seen

when the lens or mirror is illuminated by a strong light. DO

NOT LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE LENS WHEN THE

LAMP IS ON!

If the lens or mirror is extremely dirty, use several pieces of lens

tissue. Water may be used if denatured alcohol is unavailable.

C A U T IO N ! Do not use acetone to clean the lens–it may

remove the paint from the metal near the lens or mirror mount
