Powering up the Projector and Adjusting the Image
NOTE: Always use the power cord 
that shipped with the projector.
1Remove the lens cap.
2Plug the power cord into the side of the projector, then plug it 
into your electrical outlet. A surge-protected power strip is 
recommended.
The Power LED on the top of the projector (Figure 15 on 
page 19) lights green.
3Press the power button.
NOTE: The first time you connect 
your computer to the projector, the 
computer may display a message 
stating that new hardware was 
found. The Add New Hardware 
Wizard may appear. Use the Wiz-
ard to load the correct driver (the 
computer considers the projector a 
Plug and Play Monitor). 
The Power LED blinks green until the lamps turns on, then 
it lights solid green.
The startup screen appears. 
4If you connected a video player, turn it on.
The video image should display on the projection screen. If 
a computer source is active, press the 
source button on the 
keypad (page 21) or the 
video button on the remote to dis-
play your video image. You can select a default source to 
determine which source the projector examines first during 
power-up for active video; see “Default Source” on page 31.
Use the volume buttons to adjust the volume.
5Turn on your computer. 
NOTE: With some computers, 
the order in which you power up 
the equipment is very important. 
Most computers should be turned 
on last, after all other peripherals 
have been turned on. Refer to your 
computer’s documentation to 
determine the correct order. 
The computer image should display on the projection 
screen. If a video source is active, press the 
source button on 
the keypad or the 
computer button on the remote to display 
your computer ’s image. Make sure your laptop’s external 
video port is activated; see “Portable and Laptop Activation 
Chart” on page 46 for details.
If necessary, make adjustments to the image using the pro-
jector ’s on-screen menus. To open the menus, press the 
menu button on the keypad or remote, then select the Dis-
play or Image menu. For more information about the 
menus, see page 22.

Setting up the Projector
Turning Off the Projector
If you want to blank the screen for a short period of time, press 
the 
standby button on the keypad or remote. This blanks the 
screen for fifteen minutes, but keeps the projector running. (You 
can change the amount of time the projector stays in standby 
mode; see “Standby Time” on page 30 for details.) After the 
standby time, the projector shuts off. To exit standby mode, press 
the 
standby button again.
NOTE: Lamp life will be extended
if you turn the projector off, then
wait 1 minute while the lamp cools
before unplugging the projector.
To completely power off the projector, press the Power button. 
The lamp turns off and the LED blinks orange while the fans con-
tinue to run to cool the projector. After the projector is cooled, the 
projector turns off and the LED lights solid green.

USING THE PROJECTOR
This section describes how to use and make adjustments to the 
projector. It also provides a reference to the keypad and remote 
buttons and the options available from the on-screen menus.
Basic Image Adjustment
1Make sure you have powered up your equipment in the right 
order (page 13).
2If the image doesn’t display completely, zoom the image 
(page 15), adjust the height of the projector (page 15) or center 
the image by adjusting its horizontal or vertical position 
(page 29). Be sure the projector is at a 90 degree angle to the 
screen.
3If the image is out of focus, rotate the focus lens (page 15).
4If the image appears to shimmer or if it has blurry vertical 
bars after you have adjusted the focus, turn Auto Image 
(page 27) off and then back on to reset the automatic sync and 
tracking. If that doesn’t clear up the image, turn Auto Image 
off and adjust the sync (page 28) and/or the tracking 
(page 28) manually.
5If the colors don’t look right, adjust the brightness (page 23).
Adjusting the Projector
To focus the image, rotate the focus ring (Figure 11) until the 
image is clear. To zoom the image, rotate the zoom ring. This 
adjusts the image size without affecting focus.

Using the Projector
The projector has a height-adjustment foot, an elevator button, 
and a leveling knob.
To adjust the height of the projector, press and hold the elevator 
button, raise the projector to the desired height, then release the 
button to lock the foot into position. Rotate the leveling knob, if 
necessary, to adjust the angle of the projected image.

Using the Remote Control
NOTE: If you can’t aim the 
remote control at the projector so 
that its signal is received 
— for 
example, when using rear projec-
tion or in a large auditorium
— 
connect it directly to the projector 
with the optional remote control 
cable.
To control the computer ’s mouse from the projector ’s remote or 
keypad, you must connect either the USB connector on the M1 
computer cable to the computer (see page 9) or a type B USB 
mouse cable to your computer and the projector (see page 8). The 
type B USB mouse is not supported on the Macintosh platform.
Point the remote control at the projection screen or at the top of 
the projector. The range for optimum operation is about 25 feet. If 
you point the remote at the projection screen, the distance to the 
screen and back to the projector must be less than or equal to 25 
feet. For best results, point the remote directly at the front or the 
rear of the projector.
The projector ships with a full-feature remote (see page 19 for a 
description of the buttons) which includes a laser pointer. The 
remote has a disk mouse and two mouse buttons, one on the top 
of the remote and one on the bottom (Figure 14).

Using the Projector
Press anywhere on the edge of the disk mouse to move the cursor 
on the screen. You can move the cursor at any angle by pressing 
the corresponding edge of the disk. The mouse button on the top 
of the remote simulates your computer ’s right mouse button; the 
button on the bottom simulates your computer ’s left mouse but-
ton. When you press the disk mouse, the remote lights up. The 
light goes off about 10 seconds after you stop pressing buttons. 
To use the laser pointer, press and hold the laser button. The laser 
goes off when the button is released.
If you are creating presentations in Microsoft
® PowerPoint®, you 
can use the remote’s mouse buttons to navigate through your 
presentation while in Slide Show mode. To configure PowerPoint 
for this, choose Options from the Tools menu, click the View Tab, 
de-select the “Popup Menu on Right Mouse Click” option in the 
Slide Show section, then click OK. Then, when you’re in Power-
Point’s Slide Show mode, a left click advances to the next slide 
and a right click returns to the previous slide (other PowerPoint 
modes are not affected). 
NOTE: In some cases, you can
use the projector’s Controls menu
to configure the mouse for
PowerPoint. See page 32 for
details.

Using the Keypad and Remote Buttons
While the menus are displayed, the volume, source, and standby 
buttons on the keypad act as menu navigation buttons. See 
“Using the On-Screen Menus” on page 22 for details.

Using the Projector
Using the On-Screen Menus
The projector
 has six drop-down menus that allow you to make 
image adjustments and change a variety of settings. Most of these 
adjustments aren’t available directly from the keypad. 
NOTE: Some menu items may be
grayed out at certain times. This
indicates the item is not applicable
to your setup (for example, video
standards do not apply to
computer sources) or the item is
not enabled until another selection
is made (for example, Manual
Tracking is not available until Auto
Image is turned off).
To open the on-screen menus, press the menu button on the 
keypad or remote. This changes the volume, source, and standby 
buttons on the keypad to menu navigation buttons. Press the 
corresponding buttons to move the cursor up, down, left, or 
right, or use the disk mouse on the remote. To select a menu, 
move the cursor left or right to highlight the menu you want. The 
drop-down menu appears.
FIGURE 17
Keypad navigation buttons and drop-down menu
To change a menu setting, use the up and down navigation but-
tons on the keypad or the disk mouse on the remote to move the 
cursor up and down to the item you want to change (the selected 
item is highlighted), then use the left and right mouse buttons to 
adjust a setting. Some submenus, such as Brightness, consist of a 
slider bar you use to increase or decrease a value; some sub-
menus, such as Standby Time, consist of options you scroll 
through to select the desired one. All changes are saved when 
you close the menus.
To access another menu, use the left and right navigation buttons 
to move to the desired menu.
