Information
Operating the Wireless Mouse from the “Power” Remote Control
The “Power” remote control has the following three func-
tions:
•Operation of projector controls
•Operation of wireless mouse
•Use of laser pointer
Slide the MOUSE/ADJUSTMENT switch to the MOUSE
or ADJ. position for use of the function.
1 Connect the projector to a computer
See pages 15 and 16 for details.
2 Wireless mouse operation
1. After connecting the projector and the computer, turn
the projector on first. The computer should always be
turned on last.
2. Slide the MAIN POWER switch on the “Power” remote
control to ON.
3 Selecting the operation mode
To use the “Power” remote control as a wireless mouse, slide
the MOUSE/ADJUSTMENT switch to the MOUSE position.
•To use the “Power” remote control to operate the projector, slide
the MOUSE/ADJUSTMENT switch to the ADJ. position.
•The wireless mouse or RS-232C function may not operate if your
computer serial port is not correctly set up. Please refer to the
computer’s operation manual for details on setting up/installing the
correct mouse driver.
4 Moving the mouse cursor
Press ∂/ƒ/ß/© on the “Power” remote control to move the
mouse cursor around the screen.
•The supplied simple presentation remote control can also be used
for wireless mouse operation.
5Using the mouse buttons for two-button mouse
systems
The wireless mouse is configured to be used as a standard
two-button mouse (desktop mouse).
1. Use LEFT-CLICK on the back of the “Power” remote
control as the “Left Click” of a standard desktop mouse.
2. Use RIGHT-CLICK on the front of the “Power” remote
control as the “Right Click” of a standard desktop
mouse.
•For one-button mouse systems, use either the LEFT-CLICK or
RIGHT-CLICK button.
Using the laser pointer
Slide the MOUSE/ADJUSTMENT switch to the MOUSE
position, and then press LASER POINTER () to activate
the laser pointer. When the button is released, the light
automatically goes off.
•For safety reasons, the laser pointer automatically goes off after
1 minute of continuous use. To turn it on again, press LASER
POINTER (
) one more time.
Using the “Power” remote control in a dark
room
The “Power” remote control has a backlight function. When
BACKLIGHT is pressed, the remote buttons light up. Green
light refers to mouse operations, and red light to projector
adjustments.
•If the MAIN POWER switch on the “Power” remote control is left on
for more than 10 minutes without operation, the power will
automatically turn off. To turn the power back on, press any button
on the remote control for more than one second.

Setup & Connections
Setting Up the Projector and Screen
Position the projector perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level to achieve optimal image.
Move the projector forward or backward if the edges of the image are distorted.
•The projector lens should be centred in the middle of the screen. If the lens centre is not perpendicular to the screen, the
image will be distorted, making viewing difficult.
•Position the screen so that it is not in direct sunlight or room light. Light falling directly onto the screen washes out colours,
making viewing difficult. Close the curtains and dim the lights when setting up the screen in a sunny or bright room.
•A polarising screen cannot be used with this projector.
Standard Setup (Front Projection)
Place the projector at the required distance from the screen according to the desired picture size (see the table
below).

•Place a mirror (normal flat type) in front of the lens.
•Use the projector’s menu system to reverse the
projected image. (See page 34 for use of this
function.)
•The image reflected from the mirror is projected onto
the screen.
CAUTION
•When using a mirror, be sure to carefully position both the
projector and the mirror so the light does not shine into the
eyes of the audience.

the COMPUTER INPUT port on the projector.
2. Plug the other end into the Monitor output port on
the computer.
3. Secure the plugs by tightening the thumb screws.
2Connecting a Macintosh computer
1. Set the proper switches on the supplied Macintosh
adaptor to the desired resolution. Some examples
are as follows:
•For 640  480 resolution, set switches 1 and 2
to “ON” and 3, 4, 5 and 6 to “OFF”.
•For 832  624 resolution, set switches 2 and 4
to “ON” and 1, 3, 5 and 6 to “OFF”.
•For 1,024  768 resolution, set switches 2 and
3 to “ON” and 1, 4, 5 and 6 to “OFF”.
2. Connect the supplied Macintosh adaptor to the
supplied computer cable.
3. Connect the other end of the Macintosh adaptor
to the Monitor output port on your Macintosh
computer.
4. Plug the other end of the supplied computer cable
into the COMPUTER INPUT port on the projector.
5. Secure the plugs by tightening the thumb screws.
•Once the adaptor is connected to a computer and the
computer is turned on, the display mode cannot be changed
even if the switches on the adaptor are reset.
•The supplied Macintosh adaptor is only for use with H-SYNC
and V-SYNC output. When connecting a Macintosh
computer that only outputs C-SYNC, use a C-SYNC output
adaptor (sold separately).
3Connecting other compatible com-
puters
When connecting the projector to a compatible com-
puter other than an IBM-PC (VGA/SVGA/XGA/SXGA/
UXGA) or Macintosh (i.e. Workstation), a separate cable
may be needed. Please contact your dealer for more
information.
•Connecting computers other than the recommended types
may result in damage to the projector, the computer, or both.
4Turning on the power of the projector
and the computer
Once the connections are made, first turn on the
