Chapter 2. Setting up the projector This chapter provides information on positioning the projector, connecting a computer source and displaying and adjusting an image. Starting the projector To start the projector, do the following: 1. Connect the power cord to the projector as shown below. Connect the other end of the cord to an electrical outlet. The Power and Lamp-ready LEDs turn on. 2. Remove the lens cover. 3. Attach the input devices. 4. Turn on the connected input devices. 5. Be sure that the Power LED is on (not flashing) amber and then press the Power button to turn on the projector. The projector display window opens and the projector detects connected devices. If you connected the projector to an IBM computer, press Fn+F7 on the computer to switch the display output to the projector. If you connected the projector to a non-IBM computer, refer to the documentation that came with your computer for information on how to change the display output. Attention: Do not look directly into the projection lens when the lamp is turned on. The bright light might harm your eyes. 6. If you have connected more than one input device to the projector, toggle the Source button to change devices. (DVD and HDTV are supported through the DVI-I cable connector.) 7. For information on turning off the projector, go to “Turning off the projector.” Attention: Before moving the projector, be sure to power down the projector normally and disconnect the projector from the main power source. See “Turning off the projector” for more information on turning off the projector normally. Turning off the projector To turn off the projector, do the following: 1. Press the Power button. © Copyright IBM Corp. 2004 2-1
The projector prepares for shut-down and the Wait a moment message displays, as shown below. The projector turns off automatically within 5 seconds. Note: This operation can be cancelled by pressing a button other than the Power button. Pressing the Power button again will turn off power. Note: Leave the power cable plugged in for at least 2-5 minutes until the projector returns to room temperature before placing the projector inside the soft case. Placing the projector into the case too soon after turning off the power could cause the projector to overheat. 2. Press the Power button when the Power Off?/Press Power again message displays, as shown below. The projector turns off. Positioning the projector To determine where to position the projector, consider the size and shape of your screen, the location of your power outlets, and the distance between the projector and the rest of your equipment. Following are some general guidelines: v Position the projector on a flat surface at a right angle to the screen. The projector must be at least 1.5 m (4.9 ft) from the projection screen. v Position the projector within 2.7 m (9 ft) of your power source and within 1.8 m (6 ft) of your video device (unless you purchase extension cables). To ensure adequate cable access, do not place the projector within .15 m (6 in.) of a wall or other object. v Position the projector the desired distance from the screen. The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen, the zoom setting, and the video format determine the size of the projected image. Attention: Ensure that projector air flow is sufficient and not blocked or using recirculated air. Please also ensure that the projector is not in a confined space. 2-2 IBM C400 PROJECTOR: User ’s Guide
