Important Operating Considerations
Do not place the projector on a tablecloth or other soft covering that may 
block the vents. Vents are placed along the left and right sides of the C200, 
as well as across the front of the projector.
 Do not use a non-approved ceil-
ing mount. In the unlikely event of the lamp rupturing, discard any edible 
items placed in the surrounding area and thoroughly clean the area along 
the sides and in the front of the projector.

If you prefer connecting your computer to the projector with an optional 
VESA cable, connect one end of the cable to the VESA port on your com-
puter, and connect the other end of the cable to the blue Computer 2 con-
nector on the projector.
You can control the projector from an LCD control panel or computer by 
connecting an RS-232 cable to the projector’s Serial connector. Specific 
RS-232 commands can be found in the Service and Support section of our 
website at www.ask.no.
The projector can be managed by ProjectorNet networking software 
through its Network connector.

The LED flashes green and the fans start to run. When the lamp comes on, 
the startup screen is displayed and the LED is steady green. It can take a 
minute for the image to achieve full brightness.

tion to learn your computer’s key combination.
