Important Operating Considerations
Do not place the projector on a tablecloth or other soft covering that may 
block the vents. Vents are placed along the left and right sides of the C200, 
as well as across the front of the projector.
 Do not use a non-approved ceil-
ing mount. In the unlikely event of the lamp rupturing, discard any edible 
items placed in the surrounding area and thoroughly clean the area along 
the sides and in the front of the projector.

cable from the computer’s video port. 
Connect the black power cable to the connector on the back of the projector 
and to your electrical outlet.
The Power LED on the projector’s keypad turns solid green.
NOTE: Always use the power cable that shipped with the projector. Optional computer connectionsTo control your computer’s mouse using the projector’s remote control, con-
nect the USB connector on the computer cable to the computer. USB drivers 
must be installed to use the USB feature. For more information, see page 11.

puter and to the computer Audio In connector on the projector.

If you prefer connecting your computer to the projector with an optional 
VESA cable, connect one end of the cable to the VESA port on your com-
puter, and connect the other end of the cable to the blue Computer 2 con-
nector on the projector.
You can control the projector from an LCD control panel or computer by 
connecting an RS-232 cable to the projector’s Serial connector. Specific 
RS-232 commands can be found in the Service and Support section of our 
website at www.ask.no.
The projector can be managed by ProjectorNet networking software 
through its Network connector. 
Contact an authorized ASK dealer or visit the ProjectorNet website at 
www.infocus.com/projectornet for information on ProjectorNet.

Displaying a computer image Remove the lens cap.
Press the Pow e r button on the top of the projector or the remote.
The LED flashes green and the fans start to run. When the lamp comes on, 
the startup screen is displayed and the LED is steady green. It can take a 
minute for the image to achieve full brightness. 
? No startup screen? Get help on page 17.
Turn on your computer.
The computer’s image should appear on the projection screen. If it doesn’t, 
press the Computer button on the projector’s keypad. 
Make sure your laptop’s external video port is active. 
Many laptops do not automatically turn on their external video port when a 
projector is connected. Usually a key combination like FN + F5 is used to 
turn the external display on and off. Refer to your computer’s documenta-
tion to learn your computer’s key combination. 
? No computer image? Try pressing the Auto Image 
button on the keypad. Get help on page 17.
