OPENING PACKAGE
If you wish to save the packaging for reshipment, the protective packaging surrounding the unit should be carefully removed and stored inside the package.

PREPARING THE UNIT FOR USE |

Foam encased lamps and mounting hardware will be found within the unit. Remove the lamps and the hardware. |

LAMP & TRANSPARENCY CHANGES

HINTS FOR BEST TRANSPARENCY USE.
If moisture or static electricity spots are visible, insert a small amount of talcum or foot powder on the transparency where these spots appear.
If the transparency appears wrinkled or wavy, it may be oversized. It should be removed, trimmed slightly, and returned to the unit.
If you intend to use the same transparency for an extended period and/or near a window, we recommend the use of Cibachrome® or process-printed transparencies.
LAMP REPLACEMENT

They may be ordered from some commercial supply companies, or you may call toll-free for prompt, direct shipment from Clearr Corporation at competitive prices.
Note: For proper illumination, lamps should be replaced when they grow noticeably dimmer, or develop dark areas at the ends.
