Additional Components
Depending on how you plan to use the projector, you may 
need these additional components:
• To receive an S-Video signal, you need an S-Video cable. 
(One is usually provided with your video device.) A 
separate cable is required for each video source.
• To connect the projector to a Macintosh PowerBook, you 
need a video-out cable. 
(One is provided by/or can be purchased from Apple for all 
new PowerBooks that have video-out capability.) If your 
PowerBook does not include one, see your Macintosh 
dealer.
• To connect the mouse cable to your computer, you may 
require a special connector, cable, or other components. 
You can obtain these items from your computer dealer. If 
your computer doesn’t have a mouse connector, you 
cannot use the mouse cable.
¨
Note: You can connect a Kensington MicroSaver® anti-theft 
device in the hole on the projector’s right side. Contact your 
computer dealer.

Setting Up the Projector
1. Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface within five 
feet of the computer or video source.
¨
Caution: Do not hold the projector by the lens. This can damage 
the lens.
2. Place the projector at a correct distance from the screen.
The distance between the projector and the screen 
determines the actual image size. Use the general 
guidelines below to determine the correct distance.
3. Turn the projector so that the lens is at right angles to the 
screen. If the projector is not angled correctly, the screen 
image will be crooked. 
4. Connect one end of the power cable to the projector’s 
power connector. Connect the other end to an earthed 
electrical socket.
The projector should be in sleep mode, indicated by an 
orange power indicator.
¨
Warning: Never look into the lens when the projector is on. 
There is a risk that the projector might come on suddenly even 
though it is not in use. The light from the lamp can damage your 
eyes. It is especially important that children should not be 
allowed to look into the lens.
