Data Projectors

Projectors emit a lot of heat. Make sure there is plenty of space around the projector so it may ventilate. Do not put it in a closed space, such as inside a student desk.

Turn off the projector when not in use. The bulbs are very expensive (~$200) to replace.

Please keep the area around the projector (and all computer related equipment) clean and clutter free. Dust in the area is sucked into the projector and will decrease performance and possibly reduce the life of the projector.

Most models have an air filter that must be periodically cleaned. The projector will tell you (by a message in the projected display) that the filter needs to be cleaned. **DO NOT ignore this message** - clean before the end of the day. Make sure the filter is dry before replacing in projector. Cleaning at the end of the school day and leaving out to dry over night is a good way to ensure it is dry. **Once cleaned, the air filter timer needs to be reset.** This is done through the menu.

If you are unsure how to clean and/or reset the timer, please ask for assistance.
