Usage Guidelines
•
Do not look directly into the projection lens when the lamp 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 vendor-approved hard or soft case.

USING THE PRO JECTO R
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.
1 Make sure you have powered up your equipment in the right
order (page 11).
2 If the image doesn’t display completely, zoom the image
(page 15), adjust the height of the projector (page 15) or center
the image by adjusting its horizontal or vertical position
(page 22). Be sure the projector is at a 90 degree angle to the
screen.
4 If the image appears to shimmer or if it has blurry vertical
bars after you have adjusted the focus, turn Auto Image
(page 21) off and then back on to reset the automatic sync and
tracking. If that doesn’t clear up the image, turn Auto Image
off and adjust the sync (page 21) and/ or the tracking
(page 22) manually.
5 If the colors don’t look right, adjust the brightness (page 19).
Using the Rem ote Control
The projector ships with a remote that has four function buttons,
a disk mouse and two mouse buttons, one on the top of the
remote and one on the bottom.
Point the remote control at the projection screen or at the front of
the projector. The range for optimum operation is about 25 feet. If
you point the remote at the projection screen, the distance to the
screen and back to the projector must be less than or equal to 25
feet. For best results, point the remote directly at the projector.

Image menu
Auto Im age
The projector automatically adjusts tracking, signal synchroniza-
tion and vertical and horizontal position for most computers
(Auto Image does not apply to video sources). If you want to
adjust these features manually, you must turn off Auto Im age first
by highlighting Auto Image in the Image menu and clicking the
left or right navigation button to select “off”.
NOTE: Some screen savers inter-
fere with the operation of Auto
Image. If you’re experiencing prob-
lems, try turning your screen saver
off, then turning Auto Image off
and back on.
Auto Resize
Auto Resize automatically resizes the image by scaling it up. It
only affects computer images that are not the projector’s native
resolution.
When Auto Resize is on, the projector makes the best fit of the
image to the screen. If you turn Auto Resize off (by highlighting it
in the Image menu and clicking the left or right navigation button
to select “off”), the image may be either cropped or too small for
the screen.
Manual Sync
The projector adjusts signal synchronization automatically for
most computers. But if the projected computer image looks fuzzy
or streaked, try turning Auto Im age off then back on again. If the
image still looks bad, try adjusting the signal synchronization
manually:

or too narrow for the screen, try turning Auto Im age off then back
on again. If the image is still bad, try adjusting the tracking man-
ually:

FIGURE 16
Controls menu
Video Standard
When Video standard is set to Auto, the projector attempts to
pick the video standard (NTSC, NTSC 4.43, PAL, PAL-M, PAL-N,
or SECAM) automatically 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 stan-
dard, the colors might not look right or the image might appear
“torn.” If this happens, manually select a standard by clicking the
left or right navigation button and cycling through the standards.
NOTE: If you already know the
video standard used in your geo-
graphical area, it’s often best to
manually select it.
Standby Tim e
This option lets you select how long the lamp stays on and the
blank screen is displayed when the projector enters standby
mode before the projector turns off. Select among 1, 5, 10, and 15
minutes and 1 and 2 hours by clicking the left or right navigation
button and cycling through the options.

Using Video Mirroring with a PowerBook Com puter
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 Sim ulScan
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.
