tor. In the unlikely event that the lamp ruptures, discard any edible items 
and thoroughly clean the area along the right side of the projector.

Connecting a computerRequired computer connectionsConnect the black end of the computer cable to the Computer in connector 
on the projector. Connect the blue end to the video (VGA) port on your com-
puter. If you are using a desktop computer with a single VGA port, you first 
need to disconnect the monitor from that computer ’s video port. 
Connect the black power cable to the connector on the side of the projector 
and to your electrical outlet.
The Power LED on the projector ’s keypad turns solid green and the fans 
start to run.
NOTE: Always use the power cable that shipped with the projector. Optional computer connectionsTo advance slides in a PowerPoint™ presentation using the remote, plug the 
USB connector on the computer cable into the USB mouse connector on 
your computer. USB drivers must be installed to use the USB feature. For 
more information, see page 9.
To have sound with your presentation, connect the audio cable to your com-
puter and to the computer Audio In connector on the projector.

projector is connected. Refer to your computer ’s documentation to learn the 
activation commands specific for your computer. For example, some lap-
tops use a key combination of FN + F5 to turn the external display on and 
off.

First-time projector use with Windows 98The first time you connect a computer running Windows 98 to the projector, 
the computer recognizes the projector as “new hardware” and the Add 
New Hardware Wizard appears. Follow these instructions to use the Wiz-
ard to load the correct driver (which was installed with your Windows 
operating system).
If you are running Windows 2000, Windows ME, or Windows XP, skip these 
steps and go to “Adjusting the image” on page 10.aClick Next to begin searching for the driver.bMake sure “Search for the best driver” is selected, then click Next.cUncheck any checked boxes, then click Next. Windows automatically 
locates the driver. If this driver has been removed, reload the driver using 
your Windows operating system CD.dWhen Windows finds the driver, you are ready to install it. Click Next.
