AdjustingYour Image
Once the image you want is displayed, you may need to adjust 
the size, focus, position, and image shape.
Focusing and Zooming Your Image
Rotate the focus ring to sharpen the image.
Rotate the lens ring (from 
W to T) to zoom out.
nIf the image is not large enough, you may need to move the 
projector farther away from the screen. You can also use the 
E-Zoom button on the remote control to zoom in on a 
portion of the image. See page 33 for instructions. 
nIf only part of the computer image is displayed, open the 
lower cover on the remote control and press the 
Resize

nIf the image is distorted, crooked, or has a keystone shape, 
press the 
Keystone button on top of the projector to 
correct it. See page 30 for instructions.

Positioning Your Image
Make sure your image is high enough for everyone in your 
audience to see. If the image is too low, you can extend the 
projector’s feet to raise the lens.
1. Stand behind the projector and hold it while you press the 
blue foot release levers. This unlocks the feet.
2. While pressing the foot release levers, raise or lower the 
projector until the image is positioned where you want it.
3. Release the levers to lock the feet in the new position.
4. To fine-tune the height of the projector, turn the feet. Turn 
clockwise to raise the projector and counterclockwise to 
lower it.
caution
To avoid damaging the 
lens, do not hold the 
projector by the lens.

Adjusting the Image Shape
The projected image may have a distorted or “keystone” shape. 
This can be caused by raising the front of the projector to 
position the image for your audience. You can adjust the image 
shape by pressing the 
Keystone button on top of the projector.
1. Press on the right + or left – side of the 
Keystone button to 
adjust the image shape.
2. Press and hold either side of the 
Keystone button until the 
image is rectangular.
Using the Remote Control
The remote control lets you access all of your projector’s 
features from anywhere in the room (up to 30 feet away). You 
can use it to turn the projector on and off, zoom the image, and 
display the projector’s setup menu, for example.
If you have connected the mouse cable (as described on page 14 
and page 17), you can also use the remote control as a wireless 
mouse to run your presentation.

Using the Remote Control as a Wireless 
Mouse
Using the remote control as a wireless mouse gives you more 
flexibility in delivering your presentation. You can stand 
anywhere in the room and interact with your audience. You 
don’t need to stay near your computer or the projector. 
You must first connect the mouse cable between the projector 
and your computer. See page 14 (PC laptop) or page 17 
(PowerBook) for instructions.
nPoint the remote at the screen and press on the edge of the 
Enter button with your thumb. Or, grasp it between your 
thumb and finger. This button works like a trackball to 
move the mouse pointer on the screen.
nTo click, press down on the center of the Enter button. 
This is the equivalent of a left mouse click.
nTo right-click, press the Esc button.
nTo double-click, press down twice on the Enter button.
nTo click and drag, press down on the Enter button and 
then tilt it in the direction you want to drag.
nTo change slides in a PowerPoint® presentation (in Slide 
Show mode), press down on the 
Enter button.
With a little practice, you’ll be able to give a presentation and 
work with your computer using the remote control.
note
When you connect the 
mouse cable, you can’t use 
an external mouse with 
your laptop. However, you 
may still be able to use the 
built-in mouse pointer.

with the remote control. 
You can connect two video sources to the projector if one 
supports S-video and you have an S-video cable (not included). 
Then you can use the buttons on the remote control to switch 
between a standard video source, an S-video source, and your 
computer.
