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 41.

do not automatically turn on their
external video port when a sec-
ondary display device such as a
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

You must have the appropriate USB drivers installed on your
computer to use the USB feature. Windows 98 ships with the
appropriate drivers.
NOTE: You do not need to restart
your computer after connecting a
USB mouse to use it (it is hot-
pluggable). You must restart your
computer after plugging in a PS-2
mouse.

Now you’re ready to power up the projector and your computer.
Skip to “Powering up the Projector” on page 13.
Connecting a Video Player
If your video device (VCR, DVD player, video camera) uses a
round, one-prong composite video connector, use the composite
audio/video (A/V) cable provided. The end with 2 connectors
attaches to the projector, the other end attaches to the video
device.
•
If your video device uses a round, four-prong S-video connector, use an S-video cable. S-video generates a higher
quality image.
Plug the A/V cable’s round yellow connector into the “video-
1
out” connector on your video device (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
device.
Plug the other yellow connector into the “Video” connector on
2
the projector.
•
If you’re using S-video, plug the other end of the cable into
the “S-Video” connector on the projector.
