NOTE: You may attach as many as two computers and select between them. A cable has been provided for a PC and a Mac. Additional cables may be purchased separately. To use your computer monitor concurrently, plug it into the short Y cable connector of your selected RGB video cable. If you need additional distance for your monitor, a 9-foot extension cable is available at most computer supply stores.

Page 13 __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Aurora S500 PROJECTOR OPERATION Controls and Indicators Automatic Power Management The Projector has a built-in power management system that causes it to automatically power down some of the electronics whenev er the Projector is turned off. This reduces power consumption and the need to unplug the unit. Simply turn the Projector on or off as you need it, and the Projector responds accordingly. A utomatic Fan Failure Detection The Projector is equipped with internal fans that protect the display elements (LCDs) and Lamp from ov erheating when the Projector is operating. In the event that the Projector light is on and the fan is not operating, the Projector will prompt you with the following message: The Projector fan is not operating. Discontinue use of the Projector until the problem is resolved. Depress the key to clear this message. Continued use of the Projector when the fan is not operating may cause damage to the LCDs and Lamp. If the fan begins to operate, the message will automatically clear. If the fan problem cannot be cleared, contact your service representative. If you clear the message by depressing the Projector Source key, the message will not be re-displayed until the Projector Lamp has been turned off and on again. Projector LEDs and Key pad The Projector LEDs give the status of power and each v ideo source when the Projector Lamp is on. The Projector Keypad allows selection of all features and adjustments to the Projector through on-screen menus. These feature selections and adjustments can also be accessed by the Remote Control or the Annotation option. In addition, some Projector controls such as Volume and Freeze can be directly accessed with the Remote Control. Volume on/off and Freeze can also be accessed with the WritingPad, and Volume on/off is available on the PenPal.
Page 14 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Aurora S500 Power Key and LED The Power key turns the Projector Lamp on and off. To turn the Lamp on, depress the Power key. To turn the Lamp off, depress and hold the Power key until the Lamp turns off. A countdown will appear at the bottom of the projected image while the Lamp key is depressed. This countdown is used to av oid accidental power-down. The Power LED will light whenever the Projector Lamp is lit. When the Lamp is turned off, the Power LED will flash until the cooling fan stops. The Lamp cannot be turned back on until the Power LED stops flashing. Source LEDs When the Power LED is green, the four (4) Source LEDs (RGB 1, RGB 2, Video 1, Video 2) indicate the status of the attached v ideo sources. An unlit LED indicates the corresponding v ideo source is not present. Steady green indicates video present. Orange indicates v ideo present and selected. Red indicates the video was lost while selected. If a selected source is lost, it will remain selected unless you change it with the Source key. When initially powered on, the last source selected before power-off will be re-selected if it is available. If it is not available, the first available source will be selected. Source Key Up to six (6) data/v ideo sources may be connected simultaneously to the Projector (2 RGB (PC and/or Mac), 2 composite v ideo, and 2 S-Video). The Source key is used to switch between the connected sources and their associated audio. Any Source LED that is displayed in green or orange is a selectable v ideo source. Only one source may be selected at a time. W hen a source is selected, the corresponding Source LED is illuminated orange. If both composite and S-Video are attached to either the Video 1 or Video 2 source, the Source key will allow you to select them individually. Center Image Keys If the Menu key has not been pressed, the keys will allow you to mov e the projected image left or right as necessary to center it. Any changes you make will automatically be saved. If On-Screen Prompts are enabled in the Preferences Menu, a message indicating the direction of image movement will appear at the bottom center of the image whenever a direction key is depressed. You may use the corner highlights that appear during this operation as a v isual reference from proper alignment. When properly aligned, your projected image will exactly overlay the corner highlights.
