Care and Maintenance
The information in this chapter describes how to care for and
prevent accidental damage to your Pico Projector. You should
treat your Pico Projector with the same care you would give to
any other valuable equipment.
4.1 Cleaning the Pico Projector Housing
DO NOT try to service the Pico Projector. Refer all Pico
Projector servicing to your dealer. Failure to do so can
result in serious personnel injury or damage to the Pico
Projector.
DO NOT clean the housing with organic solvents, such as those
containing acetone. Wipe the exterior of the housing with a
soft, damp cloth. Protect the Pico Projector from rain, snow
or extreme temperature.
4.2 Cleaning the Projection Lens
To clean the projection lens:
Use a cotton-bud stick to gently wipe dust or oil from the
projection lens surface. Also, do not use abrasive cleaners,
solvents, or other harsh chemicals that might scratch the
lens.
4.3 Transporting the Pico Projector
1

The DLP Pico Projector is a highly sophisticated piece of
electronic equipment that is sensitive to impact, excessive
heat, cold and humidity. When transporting the Pico Projector,
use a protective bag or use the original packing carton to
minimize shock and impact.
Store and transport the Pico Projector at temperature between
0 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit (-17 to 60 degrees Centigrade).
Avoid storage in automobiles during seasonal temperature
extremes. Automobile interior temperatures can exceed 160
degree Fahrenheit (70 degrees Centigrade) in summer. If the
Pico Projector has been exposed to extremely hot, cold or
humid conditions, allow it to stand at room temperature for 30
minutes before use. Extended use of the Pico in high
temperature environments may cause a reduction in brightness
of the projected image.

Chapter 5
Troubleshooting Guide
If you are having problems operating the Pico Projector, first
make sure you have set it up according to the instructions in
Chapter 3. You should also check the adjustments and the INPUT
connections. Verify that all power is switched on. Before
calling for service, check the troubleshooting suggestions in
this chapter.
Problems Solutions
The Mouse Cursor does not move Battery remaining power too low
When connected to external AV source,
there is no image or sound from
speaker
Check that the AV cable is connected
into the AV connectors on the rear
panel
Abnormal image color and flicker Recharge battery or use ac-dc adapter
Unit locks up and power button does
not function
Use a pointed end and carefully press
a switch located in the rectangular
opening, indicated by the drawing in
section 3.2
Video file does not play Check file compatibility. If
incompatible, use a video converter to
change to format supported by this
device. Video converters are widely
available for free from the internet.
Files are not saved on the desktop/or
other folders
All permanent file storage must be in
the NAND (internal memory).
Files/Folders can be
saved/deleted/created in this area.
Cannot install third party software Ensure the software is compatible with
WIN CE 5.0. Installation must be made
to the NAND memory folder or other
external memory.
