Operating States
Op e ra t in g S t a t e s
The Polaview 330 LCD projector has five operating states:
1 Sleep state - The lamp, all fans, and keypad lighting are off. The
Power On/Standby LED, Lamp Age LED, and Lamp Status LED are
on.
2 Live state - The lamp and keypad lighting are on. The fans are on at
high speed. The projector displays either the source video or the logo.
3 Standby state - If the lamp has been on for more than 30 seconds,
pressing the Power On/Standby button causes the projector to enter
the standby state. The lamp and keypad lighting are off. The fans are
on at low speed.
4 Startup pending state - Turning on the lamp within 60 seconds after
turning it off can damage the lamp or power supply. The startup
pending state prevents this by preventing the lamp from being turned
on for 60 seconds after turning it off. If you press the Power On/
Standby button within 60 seconds after turning off the lamp, the
projector turns on the keypad lighting and sets the fans to high speed.
The Power On/Standby LED flashes. After 60 seconds, the projector
turns on the lamp and enters the live state.
5 Standby pending state - Turning off the lamp before it has stabilized
can cause damage to the lamp. The standby pending state prevents
this by preventing the lamp from being turned off for 30 seconds after
turning it on. If you press the Power On/Standby button within 30
seconds after turning on the lamp, the projector displays a “Will Shut
Down In...” message and a 30-second countdown timer. The Power
On/Standby LED flashes. After 30 seconds, the projector turns off the
lamp and enters the standby state. After another five minutes of
inactivity, the projector enters the sleep state.

You can create a custom startup logo, save it as a standard 16-color
Windows bitmap (BMP) file, and install it in projector memory. You use
the Startup Logo item on the Features menu to replace the default logo
displayed during projector startup with the custom logo. Use the
LOADLOGO.EXE program, on the Polaview 330 Tools diskette included
with the projector, to download a custom logo to the projector.
To install a custom startup logo:
1 Connect an RS232 cable to the projector’s RS232 connector and to the
computer serial port.
2 Start the LOADLOGO.EXE program.
3 Select a communications port from the on-screen menu.
4 Click on the Download menu on the menu bar.
5 Click on Custom Logo.
6 Select the directory in which the custom logo is stored, and click on

The LOADLOGO.EXE program installs the custom startup logo in

Windows 95 comes with standard serial or PS/2 mouse drivers that may
not be compatible with the projector’s remote mouse. These drivers are
most likely to be compatible with the Polaview 330 LCD projector:
• Microsoft serial mouse
• Microsoft PS/2 port mouse
• Logitech serial mouse
• Logitech PS/2 port mouse.
To change to a Microsoft or Logitech mouse driver:
Note: The Windows and menu choices that different manufacturers use
sometimes vary greatly in appearance. The procedure below may
not apply to all situations.
Win d o w s 9 5 1 Click on the Start button in the lower left-hand corner of the Windows
95 screen. Highlight Settings, and select Control Panel.

3 In the Mouse Properties window, click on the General tab. Windows
indicates the driver that is currently in use.
4 Click on the Change button.
5 Click on the Show All Devices radio button.

2 Run the Windows Setup program.
3 Pull down the Options menu and select Change System Settings.
4 In the Mouse dialogue box, click the down direction key and select the
appropriate driver as described above.
If the remote mouse still does not work correctly, use the IPSETUP.EXE
program, on the included Polaview 330 Tools diskette, to install the
IPOINT.EXE driver. Then, load the driver from the command line or from
the Windows 95 Start Menu. If you need IPSETUP.EXE, visit Polaroid’s
web site (www.polaroid.com/service/sfwdownload/index.html).
Note: The driver supplied by IPOINT.EXE is only present when the
program is running. If you close the program, it no longer sends a
driver to the serial port. It does not load automatically when you
boot the system. You can load it automatically by installing it in
the Windows 95 Start Menu and selecting “Run Minimized” in the
I-Point properties shortcut menu.
Warning: Do not use IPOINT.EXE program to reconfigure the mouse.
There is no reset to bring the remote back to the original

A problem can occur while using Microsoft PowerPoint®. Each click of
the left remote mouse button may show two slides.
To correct this problem:
1 In Windows 95 or Windows 3.x, choose the Mouse icon from the
Control Panel window. Windows displays a dialog box with a scroll
arrow that determines the double-click speed.
2 Move the scroll arrow to the left to slow down the double-click speed.
If this does not correct the problem, it may be due to fluorescent lighting.
In this case, shade the infrared receiver on the projector or turn down the
lights in the room.

square to the secondary display square (2). You may also need to drag
the Happy Macintosh icon onto the desired monitor. To see the Happy
Macintosh icon, hold down the Option key while the Monitor’s Control

Most laptop computers have a method for activating the VGA external
video port.
To activate the VGA port on IBM-compatible laptop personal computers,
use the function (Fn) key on the computer’s keyboard with one of the
regular function keys (for example, hold down the Fn key while pressing
F12). Some laptop computers need to be rebooted to allow the computer
to check for an attached external monitor, and then activate the external
port.
The following table describes, by computer manufacturer, how to activate
the external video port. Some manufacturers have several models that
require different activation methods; those methods are listed.

Appendix C - Notices, Warranties, Safety Precautions
Sa fe t y
To prevent accidents caused by improper handling or operation, please
Pre c a u t io n s
take note of the following precautions.
Be careful when handling UHP lamps.
There is a serious risk of eye damage from the intense illumination
provided by the UHP lamp. Avoid direct viewing or unprotected viewing
back into the projection lens.
While operating, UHP lamps are under very high internal pressure.
Even after you turn off the lamp, the pressure remains high until the lamp
cools down. At room temperature the internal pressure drops to about one
atmosphere.
Handle the UHP lamp by the metal parts only. Do not get fingerprints on
the glass of the lamp. This could adversely affect its operation. If
fingerprints get on the glass, clean it with alcohol and a clean, lint free
cloth or tissue. Clean the lamp before turning it on. A hot lamp will etch
the fingerprint permanently into the glass and affect performance.
Do not attempt to repair the product yourself. Opening the case may
expose the user to dangerous voltage or other hazards.
Keep the product away from dirt and dust, and periodically wipe its
surface with a soft, dry cloth. You can remove stubborn marks by using a
soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent.
Avoid condensation that is caused by moving the projector from a cold
environment to a warm, humid environment. If condensation occurs,
allow the projector to dry out completely before powering it up.
If the product will not be in use for a long period of time, disconnect the
power plug from the AC outlet.
Avoid using the product under the following conditions:
• Extremely hot, cold or humid environments
• Areas susceptible to dust
• Near an appliance that generates a strong magnetic field
• In direct sunlight
