    This	section	describes	how	to	set	up	your	projector	and	how	to	connect	video	and	audio	sources.
    Your	projector	is	simple	to	set	up	and	use.	But	before	you	get	started,	you	must	first:
    z	 Set	up	a	screen	and	the	projector.
    x	 Connect	your	computer	 or	video	 equipment	
    to	the	projector.
    	(→	page	104, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111)
    c
    	 Connect	 the	supplied	 power	cord. 
    (→
    	page	15)
    NOTE: 
    •	 Ensure	 that	the	power	 cord	and	any	other	 cables	 are	
    disconnected 	before 	moving 	the 	projector. 	When	
    moving	 the	projector	 or	when	 it	is	 not	 in	use,	 cover	
    the	lens	with	the	sliding	lens	cover.
    •	 An 	optional 	cable 	cover 	(NP01CV) 	is 	available 	for	
    the	 M420X,	 M420XV,	 M350XS,	 M300XS,	M260XS,	
    M300WS,	 and	M260WS.	 Refer	to	page	114	for	 at-
