Important Operating Considerations for Safety
 Place the projector in a horizontal position no greater than 15 degrees off axis.
 Locate the projector in a well-ventilated area without any obstructions  to intake or exhaust vents. Do not place the projector on a tablecloth or 
other soft covering that may block the vents. 
 Locate the projector at least 4 (1.2 m) away from any heating or cooling  vents.
   Use  only  Dukane -a pp ro v ed  ceil ing  mou nts.
 Use only the power cord provided. A surge-protected power strip is  recommended. 
 Refer to this manual for proper startup and shutdown procedures.
 In the unlikely event of the lamp rupturing, discard any edible items  placed in the surrounding area and thoroughly clean the area along all 
sides of the projector. Wash hands after cleaning the area and handling 
the ruptured lamp. This product has a lamp which contains a very 
small amount of mercury. Dispose of it as required by local, state or fed-
eral ordinances and regulations. For more information see 
www.eiae.org
.
Follow these instructions to help ensure image quality and lamp life over 
the life of the projector. Failure to follow these instructions may affect the 
warranty. For complete details of the warranty, see the Warranty section at 
the end of this users guide.
2 ft (.6m)
Do not place objects or people in the 2 foot (.6m) area along the side of the projector. 
For ceiling mount applications, this area should be 5 feet (1.5m).5 ft (1.5m)

Connecting a computerRequired computer connectionsConnect the black end of the computer cable to the Computer 1 connector 
on the projector. Connect the blue end to the video port on your computer. If 
you are using a desktop computer, you first need to disconnect the monitor 
cable from the computer ’s video port. 
Some Macintosh computers do not have a standard VESA-out video port. 
If the supplied computer cable will not connect to your computer, purchase 
the appropriate adapter from your Apple reseller.
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 advance slides in a PowerPoint™ presentation using the remote, plug the 
USB connector on the computer cable into the USB mouse connector on 
your computer. USB drivers must be installed to use the USB feature. For 
more information, see page 11.
To have sound with your presentation, connect the audio cable to your com-
puter and to the Audio In connector on the projector.

If you are using a desktop computer and want to see the image on your 
computer screen as well as on the projection screen, plug the monitor cable 
to the black Computer 2  connector on the projector. This connector can be 
used as monitor out or VESA in. The default is VESA in, so you must 
change this option in the menu to use monitor out. See page 34 to switch 
between the two functions.
If you prefer connecting your projector to your computer 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. 
This connector can be used as monitor out or VESA in. The default is VESA 
in.
You can control the projector from an LCD control panel or computer by 
connecting an RS-232 cable to the projector ’s  Serial Control  connector. Spe-
cific RS-232 commands can be found in the Service and Support section of 
our website.
You can play JPEGs using the  LitePort USB connector and LitePort player. 
You need a USB mass storage device to use this connector. See page 27 for 
details.

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. The Interactive Display on 
the projector indicates the startup status.
? 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 Source 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 + F8 or CRT/LCD 
key turns the external display on and off. Locate a function key labeled 
CRT/LCD or a function key with a monitor symbol. Press FN and the 
labeled function key simultaneously. Refer to your laptop’s documenta-
tion to learn your laptop’s key combination.
? No computer image? Try pressing the Auto Image 
button on the keypad. Get help on page 17.

First-time projector use with Windows 98If you are running Windows 2000, Windows ME, or Window XP, skip these 
steps and go to “Adjusting the image” on page 12.

the computer recognizes the projector as “new hardware” and the Add 
New Hardware Wizard appears. Follow these instructions to use the Wiz-
ard to load the correct driver (which was installed with your Windows 
operating system).aClick Next to begin searching for the driver.bMake sure “Search for the best driver” is selected, then click Next.cUncheck any checked boxes, then click Next. Windows automatically 
locates the driver. If this driver has been removed, reload the driver using 
your Windows operating system CD.dWhen Windows finds the driver, you are ready to install it. Click Next.
