Let the Bulb Cool Off!

Or else the bulb will explode after a short life!

Be sure to let the fan cool the bulb after the lamp power is turned off…

Projection Unit Hints

• Always face the class.– Aim screen so you can see class while look at display.

• Never read your presentation from the slides!• Print handouts of the PowerPoint slides.– Don't force your students to copy projected info.

• Always prepare for the worst (make back-up plans): – Have a backup copy of your PowerPoint slides.– Print out copies of your slides on transparencies.– Carry a spare bulb. Bulbs burn out at the worst possible

times.
