Special On-Screen Messages
Special on-screen messages will appear on the projection display to
identify the following conditions:
ꢃ Check Video Cable: Indicates the video cable may not be
plugged into the projector or the selected video input is not
accurate.
ꢃ Input Signal Out of Range—Indicates the projector is unable to
access the appropriate input signal.
ꢃ 2 Inputs Active - Remove One—The projector has two data
inputs: one is an analog D-Sub input and the other is a digital
DFP input. This message indicates that both inputs are active
simultaneously and the user should detach one of them.
NOTE: This message appears only when the Multimedia Adapter
is not attached to the projector.
ꢃ Going to Standby—Indicates the projector is entering a sleep
mode or is powering off the lamp.
ꢃ Lamp May Fail Soon, Replacement Suggested—Indicates the
lamp is approaching failure. The message will remain on the
screen for five seconds or until the on-screen menu Select button
is pressed.
When the Multimedia Adapter is attached to the projector, the
following messages, in addition to the previous messages, will
appear on the projection display to identity the following
conditions:
ꢃ Analog, Use Source to Change Input—Indicates analog and
video inputs are connected. Since the projector will default to
display analog, you must press the Source button to switch to
video.
ꢃ Composite Video, Use Source to Change Input—Indicates
composite video or other inputs (excluding HDTV) are present.
Composite video is the default setting unless HDTV is
connected. Press the Source button to change the setting.

HDTV (Optional Use)
The Compaq Microportable Projector is capable of displaying
various High Definition TV display modes. The Multimedia
Adapter is not required to take advantage of this functionality.
A variety of sources can be used to provide HDTV data to the
projector for display. Some of these sources are:
ꢃ Digital-VHS (D-VHS) player
ꢃ HDTV-DVD player
ꢃ Satellite Dish HDTV receiver
ꢃ A variety of DTV tuners (to receive programming over the
airwaves)
Most of these sources will provide an analog component video
output, a standard VGA output, or a standard digital DVI output.
The color information can be either in YPrPb (default) format or
RGB format. The user can switch between these using the analog
on-screen menu adjustments by selecting “HDTV Setup.” Refer to
“Analog On-Screen Menu Adjustments” earlier in this chapter for
more information.
The projector is capable of processing HDTV data provided either
on the standard VGA connector or the DVI interface. Use the
Component HDTV to VGA cable that came with your projector to
convert component outputs to VGA format.
The following modes are supported on the DVI interface:
ꢃ HD0
ꢃ
ꢃ
ꢃ
640 x 480p
704 x 480p
1280 x 720p
ꢃ HD1
ꢃ
1920 x 1080i
Using the Projector

When displaying HDTV content, it is recommended that you
display it in its native 16:9 widescreen mode. For this, you may
need to select the HDTV Fill to Aspect Ratio mode on the projector
to preserve the height-to-width relationship of the material. Note
that in this mode, you will have black stripes on top and bottom of
the projected image, just as you see on a standard TV set when
viewing widescreen content.
A desktop or portable computer can also be used to generate a
HDTV video stream. Capable computers should be able to
read/acquire the HDTV data and blend it into the desktop graphics.
The composite image is then sent to the projector for display. In this
case, the projector displays the image at the standard 4:3 aspect
ratio, just as it would any other computer graphics mode. The
projector processes the data as it comes from the computer.
The largest display mode available using the DVI interface is
1280 x 1024 at 75 Hz. The largest display mode available using the
VGA interface is 1280 x 1024 at 75 Hz.
When displaying HDTV content in a window as part of your
desktop environment, it is recommended to project it in the
computer’s native 4:3 mode since the computer has already
embedded the HDTV video stream in widescreen format within the
window. To do so, you may need to select the Fill to Screen mode
on your projector to preserve the height-to-width relationship of the
material.
Regardless of the source, the HDTV formats are generally of higher
resolution than that of the projector (XGA, or 1024 x 768).
Therefore, the projector will normally downscale the HDTV data to
fit the complete image within the displayable 1024 x 768 resolution.

Care and Maintenance
This section explains how to care for and maintain your Compaq
projector during normal everyday use.
Protecting the Projector
To protect your projector from overheating and other types of
damage, follow these suggestions:
ꢀ Use only a power source and connection appropriate for this
projector as indicated on the marking label.
ꢀ Do not overload an electrical outlet, power strip, or convenience
receptacle. The overall system load must not exceed 80 percent
of the branch circuit rating. If an extension cord or power strip is
used, make sure that the cord or strip is rated for the product and
that the total ampere ratings of all products plugged into the
extension cord or power strip do not exceed 80 percent of the
extension cord or strip ampere ratings limit.
ꢀ Install the projector near an outlet that you can easily reach.
Disconnect the product by grasping the plug firmly and pulling it
from the outlet. Never disconnect it by pulling the cord.
ꢀ Unplug the projector from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not
use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
ꢀ Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation.
These openings must not be blocked or covered. Never push
objects of any kind into cabinet slots or other openings.
ꢀ Do not drop the projector or place it on an unstable surface.
ꢀ Do not expose this product to rain or moisture.
ꢀ Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not walk on
the cord.
ꢀ Do not allow the projector to be exposed to high temperatures.
Care and Maintenance

ꢀ Do not open the projector or attempt to service this product for
any other reason than to replace the lamp module. Adjust only
those controls that are covered by the operating instructions. If
the projector is not operating properly or has been dropped or
damaged, contact your Compaq authorized dealer, reseller, or
service provider.
Cleaning the Lens
To minimize the risk of damaging or scratching the lens surface,
this cleaning procedure has been developed. The first
recommendation is to remove any dust particles from the lens by
blowing them off with clean, dry, deionized air. However, this may
not be a convenient method, and an alternate method is described
below.
To clean the lens, use only a clean cloth and follow these steps:
CAUTION: Do not spray any type of fluid or cleaner
directly on the lens surface. Do not use liquid cleaners.
1. Wipe the lens in a single direction with a clean, dry cloth. Do
not wipe back and forth across the lens surface.
2. 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.
Do not use fabric softener when washing a cleaning cloth
or softener sheets when drying the cloth.

CAUTION: Do not store a cleaning cloth in contact
with the lens for a long time as doing so may
contaminate the lens with dye from the cloth. The cloth
can be contaminated if left in the open air.

Power Cords
The projector power supply is provided with Automatic Line
Switching (ALS). This feature allows the projector to operate
on input voltages between 100-120V or 200-240V.
The power cord set (flexible cord or wall plug) received with
the projector meets the requirements for use in the country
where you purchased the equipment.
If you need to obtain a power cord for a different country, you
should purchase a power cord that is approved for use in that
country.

minimum of 0.75 mm2 or 18AWG, and the length of the cord
must be between 6 feet (1.8 m) and 12 feet (3.6 m). If you have
questions about the type of power cord to use, contact your
