Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children, or others who may not understand the need for these precautions. Do not leave the projector unattended during use. 4. Be careful not to touch hot parts. For lamp replacement, allow the module to cool before touching the lamp and the surrounding area. Do not place the lamp module on heat-sensitive surfaces. 5. Do not operate your projector if the cord is damaged or if the projector has been dropped or damaged (see "How to Obtain Service" on page 29). 6. Position the cord so that it is not tripped over, pulled, or placed in contact with hot surfaces. 7. If an extension cord is necessary, use a cord with a current rating at least equal to that of the projector. Cords rated for less amperage than the projector may overheat. 8. Always unplug the projector from the electrical outlet before cleaning and servicing and when it is not in use. 9. Allow the projector to cool before storing. 10. Do not immerse this equipment in water or other liquids. 11. Do not disassemble this projector. Use a qualified service technician when service or repair is required.

Be sure that your slide mounts are in good condition; frayed or bent mounts may fail to drop into the projector. A variety of slide trays are available with capacity up to 140 slides. See your dealer in Kodak products for a complete list of Kodak trays and accessories. Note: Do not attempt to project slides mounted with sticky or loose tape. Place the tray over the center post of the projector. Align the "0" slot with the gate index; the tray will drop into position. If your 140-slide tray does not drop easily, secure the lock ring, invert the tray, and align the index hole with the index notch. Slide and hold the tray release latch in the direction of the arrow, and turn the bottom plate until the index hole and notch align. Then release the latch.

Remove the tray and insert a slide upside down into the projector gate. Push the slide all the way down. After viewing the slide, press forward, reverse, or the select bar to eject the slide. Selecting Slide Projection Lenses When buying a lens, consider features such as focal length (measured in millimetres), aperture (designed as an f/stop), and the lens design (curved or flat). When selecting a lens, remember that the shorter the focal length (i.e., the smaller the f/number), the brighter the projected image. Also, a curved-field lens, in combination with cardboard open face mounts from an automated mounting process, provide superior projection quality. A flat-field lens is the best choice for glass-mounted slides. KODAK CAROUSEL® Slide Projector 13 Operation Choosing a Curved- The lens you select depends on how you use your projector and what type of slide mount you use. So that you may choose the lens that best meets your or Flat-Field Lens needs, we do not include a lens with the projector. To obtain the best results of a projected image, insert slides with the emulsion side toward the projection lens, slide curve toward the light source. A flat-field lens works best for: · general home projection · glass mounts · plastic mounts · mixed mounts · non-embossed cardboard mounts · rear-projection applications · duplicated slides A curved-field lens works best for: · embossed cardboard mounts (Embossed mounts have beveled edges around the aperture. Kodak Premium Processing and Kodak Processing labs provide embossed mounts.)
