being initialized. After intialization is complete, the video source in-
dicators will then begin scanning to show that the P170/P170v is
waiting for a video signal from one of the video inputs.
WARNING! To prevent burns when the P170/P170v is operating,
avoid touching the lamp access door and the surrounding area of the
rear panel.
3. Turn on the attached computer/s. One of the source indicators will
be steady green to show that the MagnaByte
®P170/P170v has ac-
quired a video signal from that video source.
CAUTION!The cooling fan protects the MagnaByte
®P170/P170v from
heat generated by the projection lamp. Always make sure that the air
intake and exhaust are not blocked.
