You can simultaneously view your desktop computer moni-  
tor and project computer images with the projector by con-  
necting your monitor to the REDRIVE port on the rear panel  
OUTPUTS section. (Refer to the applicable setup procedure  
in Chapter 3, Detailed setup to connect your monitor.)  
 
Introduction  
5
4
To supply power to the projector, connect the power cable  
to the power port on the rear panel of the projector. Then  
connect the power cord to an appropriate power outlet.  
Turn on the power switch located on the rear panel of the  
projector, beside the power port. After approximately 30  
seconds after the power is on, a solid-colored image is pro-  
jected onto your screen.  
Note: You may detect a high-pitched sound as the color-  
wheel and fans are reaching operating speed. Also, as you  
turn on the projector, you may detect a slight, crackling,  
electrostatic sound as the bulb illuminates. It may take up to  
10 seconds for the bulb to reach full brightness.  
A keystone correction of 17 degrees is built into the projec-  
tor to compensate for image distortion. You may want to  
adjust the rear feet of the projector to position the image on  
the screen.  
5
Turn on your computer or video source. Select the desired  
source for display by pressing the appropriate SOURCES  
button on the projector control panel or remote control.  
Your computer or video image then appears on the projec-  
tion screen. The selected SOURCES button is backlit green;  
all other SOURCES buttons are backlit red.  
Note: For information about the operation of your external  
computer or video sources, refer to the appropriate instruc-  
tion manual for the equipment in question.  
6
Focus the projected image with the FOCUS control either on  
the control panel or remote control. Adjust the image size  
by using the ZOOM control on the control panel or remote  
control. Use the projector SETUP and IMAGE menus to  
adjust the settings to fine-tune your projected image. (For  
more detailed instructions for image adjustments, see  
Chapter 4, Using the projector.  
 
6 Introduction  
Note: Whenever you connect the projector to a computer or  
video source for the first time, the projector defaults to the  
factory settings. Due to operational differences between  
computers and video sources, it may be necessary to make  
minor adjustments to the settings. See Image optimization  
in Chapter 4, Using the projector for more information. The  
projector stores any modified settings, even when the  
power is turned off.  
Note: Audio and video sources must be connected to the  
same computer or video source to be selected simultane-  
ously.  
7
To activate audio, connect the audio cables (from your com-  
puter, compact disc player, stereo, etc.) to the STEREO port  
that corresponds to the source connected in step 2. The  
audio source plays through speakers built into the projector.  
You may also connect amplified speakers or headphones to  
the OUTPUT connector labeled STEREO or L and R. This  
automatically deactivates the projector speakers.  
Note: If you connect a mono or single-jack stereo source to  
the left (L) audio port (with nothing plugged into the right  
(R) audio port), the sound emanates from both speakers.  
8
Begin your presentation.  
Note: For setup procedures for the Computer IR (infrared)  
Receiver, refer to the separate instruction manual included  
in your Computer IR Receiver Kit.

Ge t t in g s t a rt e d  
P o s it io n in g t h e  
p ro je c t o r  
Place the projector on a solid, flat surface at a right angle  
(perpendicular) to the projection screen and parallel to the  
floor. If you use a media cart, make sure the wheels are  
locked to prevent it from moving.  
Opening the casing of your projector could damage the  
components inside and will void your warranty. Dropping  
or mishandling the projector can damage the optical path.  
Ce ilin g m o u n t  
The projector is capable of displaying inverted images  
for ceiling mount configurations, but special mounting  
equipment is required for mounting the unit. A qualified  
technician, responsible for meeting safety standards and  
obtaining any and all required safety inspections, should  
install this equipment.  
Transporting the  
projector  
The projector has a handle located on one of the side panels.  
Always use the handle to transport the projector.  
For air travel, the standard carrying case with wheels is  
adequate for transporting your projector as carry-on luggage  
only. If you check your projector through as regular luggage,  
ship it in the optional ATA-style case only.  
P ro je c t o r c o o lin g  
a n d a irflo w  
Let the projector cool as required by allowing for proper  
airflow through its ventilation system. Air intake and exhaust  
grills are on the bottom of the projector.  
Caution: Never operate the projector if these grills are  
clogged or obstructed, or if the electric fans are not running.

Using the projector 21  
S t a n d b y m o d e  
Use the Standby mode to prolong the life of the projector  
lamp. When you select the Standby mode by pressing the  
LAMP key, the green LED power indicator on the rear panel  
of the projector begins to blink and continues to do so for  
3 minutes, to allow the projector to cool down. The projec-  
tor must complete this 3-minute cool-down period before it  
can resume normal operation. The green LED resumes its  
normal steady glow at the end of 3 minutes. Press the  
LAMP key again to resume operation of the projector.  
Warning: The projector lamp should always be turned on  
for a minimum of 3 minutes and allowed to cool for at least  
3 minutes before you turn it back on again. Failure to follow  
these precautions can lead to premature lamp degradation  
and, on rare occurrences, lamp rupture. Do not operate the  
lamp past the rated lamp life. Excessive operation of the  
lamp past its rated life can cause them to fracture or burst.  
Us in g t h e re m o t e c o n t ro l  
The remote control contains all the key functions available  
on the projector control panel as well as several additional  
features. For the projector to receive signals from the  
remote control, point the remote control directly at the  
infrared sensor on top of the projector. You can also deflect  
the remote-control signal off the projection screen. When  
used with the computer IR (infrared) receiver kit, the remote-  
control cursor pad controls the movement of your computer  
cursor. The remote control also has a low-powered laser for  
use as a pointing device during presentations.  
Note: For setup procedures for the computer IR (infrared)  
receiver, refer to the separate instruction manual included in  
your computer IR receiver kit (part number SB06).  
Caution: Take care not to point the remote-control laser-  
light beam toward your audience. The light beam could  
cause eye injury.

Ma k in g a d ju s t m e n t s  
t o s e t t in g s  
Use the projector SETUP and IMAGE menus to adjust the  
settings to fine-tune your projected image.  
Your projector factory-default settings are designed  
to configure it with your computer and video sources  
automatically to provide a high-quality projected image.  
Because of operational differences between the projector  
and computer and video sources, you may want to make  
minor setting adjustments to optimize your displayed  
image. After connecting your projector to the desired  
source and turning on your equipment, view a test image  
on your computer monitor that typifies what you want to  
display for presentation purposes.  
Elim in a t in g p h a s e b a rs  
Examine the projected image for evenly spaced  
“vertical noise” or “phase” bars. Use the PHASE  
option to eliminate them:

From the projector control panel or remote control,  
press the IMAGE menu key.  
Using the cursor pad, scroll through the menu selections  
and highlight PHASE on the on-screen menu display.  
Use the left arrow (<) or right arrow (>) key on the cursor  
pad to eliminate the phase bars. Try both arrow keys and  
select the one that reduces the number of “phase bars”  
on the screen (by spacing the bars farther apart from one  
another). Continue pressing the same arrow key until you  
remove all phase bars from the screen. (You may still notice  
horizontal noise or jittering on the screen; see the following  
for correction.)  
 
Using the projector 27

ing mount, as required.  
 
4 Maintenance  
S t o ra g e , c le a n in g a n d c a re  
Store the Polaview Model 220 Projector either in its original  
shipping container or carrying case to guard it against dust  
and lint. Use a non-abrasive, lint-free cloth and non-abrasive  
cleaning solution, such as an eyeglass or camera-lens clean-  
ing solution, on the lens to keep it clean. Spray the cleaning  
solution directly on the cleaning cloth, never on the lens.  
Warning: Always disconnect your projector from its electri-  
cal supply before performing any maintenance on it.  
Ext re m e t e m p e ra t u re s  
Do not expose the projector to temperatures less than  
-13°F (-25°C) or greater than 140°F (60°C). For example,  
avoid storing it in parked automobiles for an extended  
period of time. Do not operate the projector in temperatures  
less than 32°F (0°C) or greater than 95°F (35°C).  
 
30 Maintenance  
Re p la c in g t h e la m p a s s e m b ly  
When you notice that the output from the projector lamp  
starts to weaken, you need to replace the lamp assembly  
(part number 623374).  
Caution: Replace the lamp assembly at the first sign of the  
bulb weakening. Do not wait for bulb to burn out as it is  
possible for the failing bulb to burst.

2
Turn off the projector.  
Unplug the projector power cord from the wall socket and  
from the power receptacle.  
Re m o ve t h e la m p -  
Depress the latch on the top center edge of the door and  
pull the top edge of the door toward you. Refer to the  
illustration below.

Maintenance 31  
Re m o ve t h e  
Unlock the lamp assembly by rotating the locking key on  
la m p a s s e m b ly  
the right side of the lamp assembly counter-clockwise one-  
half revolution. Grasp the wire handle and gently pull the  
lamp assembly straight out of the unit.  
Re p la c e t h e  
Align the lamp-assembly slide rails with the slide-rail  
channels inside the projector and gently slide the lamp  
assembly into the projector. When the lamp assembly is  
properly in seated in the projector, rotate the locking key  
clockwise one-half revolution.  
la m p a s s e m b ly  
Note: Take care not to touch the lamp in the new assembly.  
The smallest oil deposit from your finger can significantly  
shorten the life of the lamp.  
Re p la c e t h e  
Align the tabs on the bottom of the door with the slots  
in the door opening. Gently push the top of the door into  
place until the latch snaps into position. Turn the projector  
on to verify that the lamp functions properly.  
la m p -a s s e m b ly d o o r  
Note: The removal of the lamp-assembly door activates a  
safety switch that disconnects electrical power from the  
lamp assembly. Improper installation of the lamp assembly  
can prevent the safety switch from being reactivated.  
Warning: When you replace the lamp assembly, always  
disconnect the projector from its power source. Do not rely  
solely on the safety switch to disconnect power from the  
assembly.  
Warning: The lamp assembly reaches extremely high tem-  
peratures during normal operation. If you need to replace  
the lamp assembly after operating the projector, let the unit  
cool in Standby mode for at least 30 minutes before  
attempting to remove the lamp assembly. When you use  
the Standby mode, power is still being fed to the projector.  
Do not try to replace the lamp assembly or any electronic  
components unless you unplug the unit from the power  
source.
