PRACTICAL ASSIGNMENT NO: 4

HANDLING OF LCD PROJECTOR


LCD PROJECTOR

 An LCD projector is a type of video projector for displaying video, images or


computer data on a screen or other flat surface.
 LCD projectors typically send light from a metal-halide lamp through a prism that
produces a wide range of colors and shades in the projected image.
USE OF LCE PROJECTOR IN EXTENSION TEACHING PROGRAMMES

 Essence of a presentation
 Brings audio-visual inputs to the programme
 Inputs planned elsewhere in the world can be brought in to the programme.
 Demonstrations
 Webinars
 Quizzes
 Lectures
 Group activities.
ADVANTAGES OF USING LCD PROJECTOR

 Low power consumption


 Unconstrained by geographical location of device
 Clearer image display
 Can incorporate audio and video clips
 Easier note taking
 Greater teaching versatility
 Better use of class time
THINGS TO BE KEPT IN MIND WHILE USING A LCD PROJECTOR

 Will the presentation hold the attention of the audience?


 Will it efficiently supplement what he/she is going to present?
 Can the audience read the presentations without much delay?
 Can the audience listen to the talk of the presenter as well as read the text presented and
relate both?
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS:

Installation:

1. For best results, use your projector in a darkened room.

2. Place the projector on a flat, level surface in a dry area away from dust and moisture.

3. Do not place your projector in direct sunlight, near heaters or heat radiating appliances.

4. Exposure to direct sunlight, smoke or steam can harm internal com- ponents.

5. Handle your projector carefully. Dropping or jarring can damage in- ternal components.

6. Do not place heavy objects on top of the projector.

7. If you wish to have the projector installed on the ceiling:

a. Do not attempt to install the projector yourself.

b. The projector must be installed by qualified technicians in order to ensure proper operation
and reduce the risk of bodily injury.

c. In addition, the ceiling must be strong enough to support the projector and the installation
must be in accordance with any local building codes.

Power Supply:

1. The projector is designed to operate on a power supply of 100-120 or 200-240 V 50/60 Hz


AC. Ensure that your power supply fits this requirement before attempting to use your
projector.

2. Handle the power cable carefully and avoid excessive bending. A damaged cord can cause
electric shock or fire.

3. If the projector is not to be used for an extended period of time, disconnect the plug from the
power outlet.
Cleaning:

1. Unplug the projector before cleaning.

2. Clean the cabinet periodically with a damp cloth. If heavily soiled, use a mild detergent.
Never use strong detergents or solvents such as alcohol or thinner.

3. Use a blower or lens paper to clean the lens, and be careful not to scratch or mar the lens.

Lamp Replacement:

• To replace the lamp, follow all instructions provided on page E-47.

• Be sure to replace the lamp when the message "The Lamp has reached the end of its
usable life. Please replace the lamp." appears. If you continue to use the lamp after the
lamp has reached the end of its usable life, the lamp bulb may shatter, and pieces of glass
may be scattered in the lamp case. Do not touch them as the pieces of glass may cause
injury. If this happens, contact your NEC dealer for lamp replacement.

• Allow a minimum of ONE minute to elapse after turning off the pro- jector. Then
disconnect the power cable and allow 60 minutes to cool the projector before replacing the
lamp.

Fire and Shock Precautions:


1. Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are unob- structed to prevent the
build-up of heat inside your projector. Allow at least 3 inches (10 cm) of space between your
projector and a wall.
2. Prevent foreign objects such as paper clips and bits of paper from falling into your projector.
Do not attempt to retrieve any objects that might fall into your projector. Do not insert any
metal objects such as a wire or screwdriver into your projector. If something should fall into
your projector, disconnect it immediately and have the object re- moved by a qualified NEC
service personnel.
3. Do not place any liquids on top of your projector.
• Do not look into the lens while the projector is on. Serious damage to your eyes could result.
• Keep any items such as magnifying glass out of the light path of the projector. The light
being projected from the lens is extensive, there- fore any kind of abnormal objects that can
redirect light coming out of the lens, can cause unpredictable outcome such as fire or injury
to the eyes.
• Do not cover the lens with the supplied lens cap or equivalent while the projector is on.
Doing so can lead to melting of the cap and possibly burning your hands due to the heat
emitted from the light output.
• Do not look into the laser pointer while it is on and do not point the laser beam at another
person. Serious injury could result.
