Starting the projector and adjusting the image
Use the following procedure to start the projector and adjust the image.
1.
Remove the lens cap.
2. Attach the power cord to the side of the projector, and then into an electrical outlet. It is good practice
to use a surge-protected power strip. Always use the power cord that was included with the projector.
Note: With some computers, the order in which you start the equipment is very important. Most
computers should be turned on last, after all other peripheral devices have been turned on.
Refer to the computer documentation to determine the order.
3. Press the Power button on the top of the projector. The fans start to run, and the LED on the top of
the projector lights green until the startup screen displays. It takes about one minute for the image to
achieve full brightness.

v The video image is displayed on the projection screen. If it is not, press the Select button on the
keypad or Video button on the remote control to display your video image.
5. Turn on your computer.
Note: The first time you connect your computer to the projector, the computer might display a
message stating that new hardware was found. The Add New Hardware Wizard window
might open. Use the wizard to install the correct device driver for a Plug and Play monitor.
v The computer image is displayed on the projection screen. If it is not, press the Select button on the
keypad or Computer button on the remote to display your computer image.
v Make sure your mobile computer external video port is active; see Appendix C, “Portable and
mobile computer activation” on page 33 for details.
v If necessary, make adjustments to the image using the projector on-screen menus. To display the
menus, press the Menu button on the keypad or remote control. For more information about the
menus see “Using the on-screen menus” on page 12.
Turning off the projector
To turn off the projector, press the Power button. If you want to turn the lamp back on, allow 90 seconds
for the lamp to cool. The lamp will not turn on if it is too hot.
Note: To maximize lamp life, allow the projector fan to run for at least five minutes before removing the
power cord.
