NOTE: Always use the power cord
that shipped with the projector.

Remove the lens cap.

Plug the power cord into the side of the projector, then plug it
into your electrical outlet. A surge-protected power strip is
recommended.

The fans start to run, and the Lamp LED on the top of the
projector (Figure 12 on page 16) lights orange until the soft-
ware has initialized. When initialization is complete, the
Lamp LED lights green. A green Lamp LED indicates that
you can press the
lamp on/off
button to turn the lamp on
and off.
NOTE: The first time you connect
your computer to the projector, the
computer may display a message
stating that new hardware was
found. The Add New Hardware
Wizard may appear. Use the Wiz-
ard to load the correct driver (the
computer considers the projector a
Plug and Play Monitor).

button on
the keypad (see Figure 12 on page 16).

button on the remote to dis-
play your video image. You can select a default source to
determine which source the projector examines first during
power-up for active video; see “Default Source” on page 25.

Use the
volume
buttons to adjust the volume.

Turn on your computer.
NOTE: With some computers,
the order in which you power up
the equipment is very important.
Most computers should be turned
on last, after all other peripherals
have been turned on. Refer to your
computer’s documentation to
determine the correct order.
•
The computer image should display on the projection
screen. If a video source is active, press the
source
button on
the keypad or the

your computer’s image. Make sure your laptop’s external
video port is activated; see “Portable and Laptop Activation
Chart” on page 40 for details.

If necessary, make adjustments to the image using the pro-
jector’s on-screen menus. To open the menus, press the
menu
button on the keypad or remote, then select the Dis-
play or Image sub-menu. For more information about the
menus, see page 18.
