Usage Guidelines  
Do not look directly into the projection lens when the projector  
is turned on. The bright light may harm your eyes.  
Do not block the grills on the projector. Restricting the air flow  
can cause it to overheat and turn off. If this happens, you must  
wait a minute before attempting to turn it back on.  
Handle the projector as you would any product with glass  
components. Be especially careful not to drop it.  
Avoid leaving the projector in direct sunlight or extreme cold  
for extended periods of time. If this happens, allow it to reach  
room temperature before use.  
Transport the projector in a BOXLIGHT-approved hard or soft  
case.

SETTING UP THE PROJECTOR  
1 Place the projector on a flat surface.  
The projector must be within 10 feet (3 m) of your power  
source and within 6 feet (1.8 m) of your computer.  
If you want to project from behind a translucent screen, set  
up the projector behind your screen. See “Rear Projection”  
on page 23 to reverse the image.  
2 Position the projector the desired distance from the screen.  
If the image is too big or too small, use the zoom ring to  
adjust the size or move the projector forward or backward.  
Figure 3 shows three projected image sizes. For more infor-  
mation about image size, see “Projected Image Size” on  
page 44.

Connecting a Computer  
The projector ships with an analog computer cable. If your com-  
puter has a digital output, you can order the optional digital com-  
puter cable. Using a digital source generates the highest quality  
and brightest image possible. See “Optional Accessories” on  
page 37.  
1 Plug the end of the computer cable with one cable into the  
connector on the projector.  
2 Plug the blue end of the computer cable into the video connec-  
tor on your computer.  
NOTE: Many laptop computers  
do not automatically turn on their  
external video port when a sec-  
ondary display device such as a  
projector is connected. Refer to  
your computer manual for the  
command that activates the exter-  
nal video port. Activation com-  
mands for some laptop computers  
are listed in the Appendix of this  
manual on page 38 and in the  
Service section of our website.

using the remote, plug the USB cable into the USB mouse con-  
nector on your computer.

the “video-out” connector on your video player (Figure 7).  
This connector may be labeled “To Monitor.”  
NOTE: HDTV sources must be  
connected to the projector using

the order in which you power up  
the equipment is very important.  
Most computers should be turned  
on last, after all other peripherals  
have been turned on. Refer to your  
computer’s documentation to  
determine the correct order.  
If necessary, make adjustments to the image using the pro-  
jector’s on-screen menus. To open the menus, press the  
menu/select button on the keypad or remote. For more  
information about the menus, see page 16.  
Turning Off the Projector  
To turn off the projector, press the Power switch. If you want to  
turn the lamp back on, you must allow 90 seconds for the lamp to  
cool. The lamp won’t light if it’s too hot.

USING THE PROJECTOR  
This section describes how to use and make adjustments to the  
projector. It also provides a reference to the keypad and remote  
buttons and the options available from the on-screen menus.  
Basic Image Adjustment  
1 Make sure you have powered up your equipment in the right  
order (page 9).  
2 If the image doesn’t display completely, zoom the image  
(page 11), adjust the height of the projector (page 12) or center  
the image by adjusting its horizontal or vertical position  
(page 20). Be sure the projector lens is at a 90 degree angle to  
the screen.  
3 If the image is out of focus, rotate the focus lens (page 11).  
4 If the colors don’t look right, adjust the brightness, contrast,  
tint, or color (pages 17-18).  
Adjusting the Projector  
To focus the image, rotate the focus ring (Figure 8) until the image  
is clear. To zoom the image, rotate the zoom ring. This adjusts the  
image size.

Using the Remote Control  
To use the forward and back buttons on the remote to advance  
slides in PowerPoint, you must connect the USB mouse connector  
on the computer cable to the computer. See page 7 for details.  
Point the remote control at the projection screen or at the front of  
the projector (not at the computer). The range for optimum oper-  
ation is about 25 feet/7.6m. If you point the remote at the projec-  
tion screen, the distance to the screen and back to the projector  
must be less than or equal to 25 feet/7.6m. For best results, point  
the remote directly at the projector.

Resize  
Resize allows you to select from among four different re-sizing  
options. The default is Standard, which resizes the image from its  
original version to fit a standard 4x3 aspect ratio screen. Wide-  
screen Letterbox preserves the 16x9 aspect ratio of the original  
theater version, but the image is placed in a 4x3 space, so black  
bars appear at the top and bottom of the image. Enhanced Wide-  
screen also preserves the aspect ratio of the original theater ver-  
sion and is designed to be used with content that is Enhanced for  
Widescreen TVs. This option yields more detail than Widescreen  
Letterbox. Native reduces the Standard size to match the height of  
Enhanced Widescreen.

buttons to cycle through the options, then press menu/select to  
select.

2 Highlight Manual sync, press menu/select, use the arrow but-  
tons to adjust Manual sync until the image is sharp and free of  
streaks, then press menu/select.  
Manual Tracking

signal from your computer. However, if the display shows evenly  
spaced, fuzzy, vertical lines or if the projected image is too wide  
or too narrow for the screen, try turning Auto Image off then back  
on again. If the image is still bad, try adjusting the tracking man-  
ually:  
1 Turn Auto image off.

Image Menu for Video Sources  
FIGURE 16  
Image menu for video sources  
Resize  
Resize allows you to select from among four different re-sizing  
options. The default is Standard, which resizes the image from its  
original version to fit a standard 4x3 aspect ratio screen. Wide-  
screen Letterbox preserves the 16x9 aspect ratio of the original  
theater version, but the image is placed in a 4x3 space, so black  
bars appear at the top and bottom of the image. Enhanced Wide-  
screen also preserves the aspect ratio of the original theater ver-  
sion and is designed to be used with content that is Enhanced for  
Widescreen TVs. This option yields more detail than Widescreen  
Letterbox. Native reduces the Standard size to match the height of  
Enhanced Widescreen.  
Highlight Resize, press menu/select, use the up or down arrows to  
cycle through the options, then press menu/select.  
Video Standard (video sources only)  
When Video is set to Auto, the projector attempts to pick the  
video standard (NTSC, NTSC 4.43, PAL, or SECAM) automati-  
cally based on the input signal it receives. (The video standard  
options may vary depending on your region of the world.) If the  
projector is unable to detect the correct standard, the colors might  
not look right or the image might appear “torn.” If this happens,  
manually select a video standard.  
Highlight Video standard, press menu/select, use the up or down  
arrows to cycle through the options, then press menu/select to  
select.

Using Video Mirroring with a PowerBook Computer  
When you turn video mirroring (called SimulScan in newer Pow-  
erBooks—see below) on, the projector displays the same informa-  
tion that appears on your PowerBook’s built-in screen. When  
video mirroring is off, the projector acts like a separate display.  
To turn on video mirroring for the first time:  
1 Open the Monitors control panel; click on Monitor 2.  
2 Set the number of colors you want.  
3 Open the Control Strip, then click on the monitor icon.  
4 Select “Turn Video Mirroring On.”  
Now you can turn video mirroring on and off from the Control  
Strip without having to open the Monitors control panel again.  
When using video mirroring and high color graphics such as  
slide shows, the projected image occasionally might turn black  
and white. If this happens, perform the following steps:  
1 Turn off video mirroring.  
2 Open the Monitors control panel.  
3 Move the white menu bar to Monitor 2 to set the projector as  
the primary monitor.  
4 Restart the PowerBook.  
Using SimulScan  
Some newer PowerBooks display images on an external monitor  
or projector differently than previous ones. When using  
SimulScan, the projector displays the same information that  
appears on your PowerBook  
To select SimulScan:  
1 Open the Control Panel, then double-click Monitors and  
Sound.  
2 In the Resolution list, choose the SimulScan mode, then click  
OK.  
3 If this changes your display settings, a dialog box appears.  
Click OK to confirm the change.
