Introduction
This  section  will  introduce  wireless  projection  function  for  this  projector.  The 
wireless  projection  function  is  only  available  for  the  model  which  is  equipped 
with integrated Acer Wireless Presentation Gateway (WPG) module. Acer WPG 
enables multiple users to connect to an Acer projector wirelessly. This eliminates 
the need to plug and unplug cables, enabling more efficient use of meeting time, 
especially when there is more than one presenter in a meeting.
To  perform  wireless  projection,  you  have  to  change  the  input  source  type  to 
"Wireless"  by  pressing  the  "Wireless"  button  on  the  remote  control  or  the 
"Source" button on the control panel or remote control.
System Requirements:
- Operating system: Windows® 2000 or Windows® XP
- CPU: Intel® Pentium® III at 750 MHz or equivalent with 128 MB of RAM
- Wireless LAN: IEEE 802.11b/g enabled

Setting up your WPG
Check the LED for the power status.
•  Red indicates that the WPG is receiving power, but is inactive.
•  Green indicates that the WPG is being used to project images.
You may also like to connect a LAN cable to the LAN (RJ-45) port on the side 
of the dongle. This will allow you to connect to the Internet to retrieve inter
-
active content or download firmware upgrades as they become available.
Connecting to the WPG for the 
first time
If this is the first time you’ve connected to the WPG, you will need to 
download and install the driver from the WPG. The software is stored 
on  the  WPG,  so  there  is  no  need  for  an  installation  CD.  Ensure  that 
you  have  administrator-level  permission  on  your  computer  so  that 
you can install the software.
  To  download  the  software,  you  must  ensure  that  your  browser  is set to open up a website. If your browser is set to open with a 
blank  page,  you  will  not  be  able  to  download  the  software.  To 
check this, select Tools > Internet Options. Ensure that there is a 
website in the text box.

which  one  is  the  one  you  want  to  connect  to  from  the  SSID  listed  in 
the upper left-hand corner of the screen.
                                     
4)  If you receive any security warnings, select “Connect Anyway.”
                                     
5) Once  the  connection  is  established,  open  your  Internet  browser.  You 
will  automatically  be  taken  to  the  Acer  WPG  welcome  page,  where 
you will be able to download the driver.

Connecting to a projector
Once you’ve installed the software, you will be able to connect to any projector 
that is equipped with the Acer WPG. To connect to a projector, simply double-
click the Acer WPG icon on your desktop to launch the application.
                  
The  application  will  automatically  detect  available  WPGs.  Each  WPG  is  iden-
tifiable by the "AcerProjector" indicator in the SSID. If the projector is installed 
in a permanent location, you may also choose to assign a specific SSID to that 
projector, indicating, for example, the number of the room in which the projec
-
tor is installed (refer to "Configuration" later in this guide).
If there are multiple WPGs within the range of your notebook's receiver (they 
may be in different rooms), and the feature is enabled (refer to "Configuration" 
later in this guide), you will be able to identify the correct one by the "Projector 
ID" indicated in the top left-hand corner of the projected screen. The Projector 
ID consists of four randomly-generated numbers. Entering these numbers into 
the  WPG  application  on  your  notebook  will  restrict  your  connection  to  only 
that projector.
Only  one  user  can  use  the  WPG  at  any  time;  if  another  user  wishes  to  use  the 
projector, you will need to click Disconnect to stop using the projector, and al
-
low someone else to use the projector.

If  “Wireless”  is  selected  as  the  input  source,  you  can  play  audio  content 
through  the  internal  speakers  of  the  projector.  You  can  also  plug  external 
speakers into the WPG’s audio-out jack for better audio quality.
 Your  audio  driver  may  have  different  terminology  for  some  of  the  set-tings required below.
If  you  wish to  use the  WPG’s audio  features,  please ensure that  none  of 
the audio settings is muted.
To set up the audio, you must perform the following steps:
1)  Open the Windows® audio controls by double-clicking on the speaker 
icon in the task tray.
2)  Select Options > Properties
.
                         
3)  Select Recording in the “Adjust volume for” area.
