Usage Guidelines
Do not look directly into the projection lens when the projector is turned on. The bright light may harm your eyes.
Do not block the grills on the projector. Restricting the air flow can cause it to overheat and turn off. If this happens, you must wait a minute before attempting to turn it back on.
Handle the projector as you would any product with glass components. Be especially careful not to drop it.
Avoid leaving the projector in direct sunlight or extreme cold for extended periods of time. If this happens, allow it to reach room temperature before use.
Transport the projector in a vendor-approved hard or soft case. Part numbers for these cases are listed on page 39.

Connecting a Computer
The projector ships with an analog computer cable. If your com­puter has a digital output, you can order the optional digital com­puter cable. Using a digital source generates the highest quality and brightest image possible.
See “Optional Accessories” on
page 39.

projector is connected. Refer to
your computer manual for the
command that activates the exter-
nal video port. Activation com-
mands for some laptop computers
are listed in the Appendix of this
manual on page 40 and in the

Setting up the Projector
Connecting a Video Player
If your video player uses a round, one-prong composite video connector, use the composite video cable. If your video player uses a round, four-prong S-video connector, use the S-video cable. S-video generates a higher quality image.
Plug the composite video cable’s round yellow connector into

the “video-out” connector on your video player (Figure 7). This connector may be labeled “To Monitor.”
If you’re using an S-video cable, connect the round black connector to the “S-video out” connector on the video player.
Plug the square yellow connector into the video connector on

the projector.
CAUTION: Your video player
may also have a “Video Out”

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).
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 pro­jector’s on-screen menus. To open the menus, press the
menu/select
button on the keypad or remote. For more
information about the menus, see page 16.
Turning Off the Projector
To turn off the projector, press the Power switch. If you want to turn the lamp back on, you must allow 90 seconds for the lamp to cool. The lamp won’t light if it’s too hot.
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.
NOTE: To maximize lamp life,
allow the projector to run for at
least five minutes before turning
it off.
