Things You Need For Your Overhead Projector While Travelling
If you're a road warrior and frequently needs to make presentations to your clients while on the road, chances are, you probably owns an portable overhead projector or any of the latest digital data or video projector. Some of these portable overhead projectors can fold up to the size of a small briefcase and can easily fit into your luggage and make your travels an easy and relatively hassle free.
Since you're often on the road, there isn't much of a luxury having access to a technical department where the technician is readily available in an office context to help you with your overhead projector's technical problems. Hence, it's important for you to be crucially aware of the things you need to bring and do to make your next presentation a hazard free affair. Remember, there is nothing worse than having a whole classroom or conference hall full of students or potential customers and finding yourself caught unprepared.
Here are some of important aspects you should take note of :
(1) Bring a spare lamp with you.
Always ensure that you have an extra lamp bulb with you. Yes, even when your overhead projector comes with the lamp changer function. Since most of the projection lamps nowadays are pretty cheap, get a few spares in your luggage if you can. Also make sure you bring along the customer service personnel namecard or your overhead projector's product code with you. In case you do run out of the spares and do need to buy them, you would have this information readily available while you're on the road.
(2) Transparency pens & transparencies
Though these can be readily bought at the stationary shop near your hotel, it certainly doesn't hurt to keep them with you in the luggage. Never assume that the conference hall or classroom would have all these stationary available. Make sure your transparency pen's water soluble so that you can easily erase away information you don't need. A selections of different coloured pens would be great for a more varied presentation.
(3) Cleaning & Maintenance
Avoid using chemicals or stuff like window cleaners to clean your overhead projector. Actually, the simplest solution is to just wipe it with water. It's recommended to use fiber optic towel or material that are similar to avoid scratching the surface of the overhead projector glass. Some people have tried to do the same with paper towels without avail. Because unlike fiber optics towels, paper towels are not designed to clean Fresnel or Optical lenses without scratching its surface. So, don't risk it.
(4) Extension cord & adapter
What if your overhead projector's cord is to short to reach the power outlet? Abandon the whole presentation? To prevent this from happening, always ensure that you get an extension cord or adapter with you at all times. And even if you've forgotten to bring them with you in the luggage, try to ask around your hotel's housekeeping and make sure you get a set prior to your presentation.
