• A Mac adapter (an optional accessory) is needed if you are connecting legacy version
Macintosh computers.
• Many laptops do not turn on their external video ports when connected to a projector.
Usually a key combo like FN + F3 or CRT/LCD key turns the external display on/off.
Locate a function key labeled CRT/LCD or a function key with a monitor symbol on the
laptop. Press FN and the labeled function key simultaneously. Refer to your laptop’s
documentation to find your laptop’s key combination.
Connecting a monitor
If you want to view your presentation close-up on a monitor as well as on the screen, you
can connect the RGB signal output socket on the projector to an external monitor with a
VGA cable following the instructions below:
1. Connect the projector to a computer as described in "Connecting a computer" on page
15.
2. Take a suitable VGA cable (only one supplied) and connect one end of the cable to the
D-Sub input socket of the video monitor.
3. Connect the other end of the cable to the D_SUB OUT socket on the projector.
The final connection path should be like that shown in the following diagram:
The D-Sub output only works when an appropriate D-Sub input is made to the projector.
