Displaying an Image
If you turn on your computer or video equipment before
turning on the projector, the projector will automatically
select the connected source. If you have multiple sources
connected, you may have to switch to the desired source
manually (see “Selecting the Image Source” at right).
Turning On the Projector
1. Remove the lens cap.
Caution: Do not use the projector with the lens cap in place.
The heat generated by the lens can damage the cap.
2. Plug in the projector.
3. Wait a few seconds until the P
power light to turns orange.
4. Press the red P
Power button on top of the projector. You
can also use the P
Power button on the remote control.
If you’re using the remote control, make
sure batteries are installed and the power
switch on the side of the remote control
is turned on.
The P
power light flashes green as the
projector warms up, and an image begins
to appear after about 30 seconds. When the power light
stops flashing and remains green (in about a minute), the
projector is ready for use.
Warning: Never look into the lens when the lamp is on. This
can damage your eyes.
Selecting the Image Source
You can use the source buttons either on the projector or the
remote control:
❏ The projector has two
Source buttons.
Use the
Computer/DVI button to switch between
equipment connected to the Computer 1, Computer 2, and
DVI ports (or to switch to EasyMP.net, if that option has
been installed; see page 19).
Use the
Video/BNC button to switch between equipment
connected to the Video, S-Video, and BNC ports.
❏ The remote control has seven
Source buttons. Use them to
switch between equipment connected to the port identified
on each button.
Note: You can preview all sources to help you select the desired
source (see page 6).
