Using this Christie projector zoom lens is straightforward. Just install it on your compatible projector as you would with any other lens. When it comes to using it, make sure your projector is turned off before making any connections. As for maintenance, keep it clean by using a soft, dry cloth to wipe the lens surface. Be careful not to touch the lens directly with your fingers as it can leave smudges. Since the metal cover for the servo motors is missing, avoid exposing it to dusty or dirty environments as this could potentially affect the performance of the servo motors. Also, handle it gently to prevent any damage to the internal components.
