INTRO DUCTIO N
The Boxlight CD-40m™ is specifically designed for the mobile
presenter. It packs SVGA graphics with 16.7 million colors into a
small, 6.8 pound package. It generates crisp, clear images using
Digital Light Processing™ (DLP) technology. The projector is
easy to connect, easy to use, and easy to maintain.
Im age Resolution
NOTE: The projector automati-
cally expands 640x480 images to
800x600. You can display these
images at 640x480 by turning off
the Auto Resize feature. See “Auto
Resize” on page 21 for more infor-
mation.
The SVGA resolution of the CD-40m’s projected image is
800x600. Screen resolutions between 800x600 and 1024x768 are
compressed to 800x600. The projector cannot compress screen
resolutions above 1024x768. If your computer ’s screen resolution
is higher than 1024x768, reset it to a lower resolution before you
connect the projector.
Com patibility
The projector is compatible with a wide variety of computers and
video devices, including:
• IBM-compatible computers, including laptops, up to 1024x768
resolution.
• Apple Macintosh and PowerBook computers up to 1024x768
resolution.
• Most standard VCRs, DVD players, camcorders and laser disc
players.

The projector comes with the items shown in Figure 1. Check to
make sure all are included. Contact Boxlight im m ediately if
anything is m issing.
NOTE: The projector ships stan-
dard with computer and audio

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.
•
•
This projector is not intended for use in mainframe computer
rooms as defined in the Standard for the Protection of Elec-
tronic Computer/ Data Processing Equipment, ANSI/ NFPA 75.
Transport the projector in a vendor-approved hard or soft case.

Turning O ff the Projector
If you want to turn off the projector for a short period of time,
press the standby button on the keypad. This blanks the screen for
fifteen minutes, but keeps the projector running. (You can change
the amount of time the projector stays in standby mode; see
“Standby Time” on page 23 for details.) After 15 minutes, the
lamp goes out (the projector keeps running). To exit standby
mode, press the standby button again. (It may take several sec-
onds for the projection lamp to reach full power and project the
image again.)
To completely power off the projector, press the “O” side of the
power switch on the side of the projector. If you want to turn the
projector back on immediately, you must allow about a minute

disconnect the projector after you
have switched it off, always
remove the power cord from the
electrical outlet first, then remove
it from the projector.

Using the O n-Screen Menus
The projector has six drop-down menus that allow you to make
image adjustments and change a variety of settings. Most of these
adjustments aren’t available directly from the keypad.
To open the on-screen menus, press the m enu button on the
keypad. This changes the volume, source, and standby buttons
on the keypad to menu navigation buttons (and illuminates the
keypad green). Press the corresponding buttons to move the
cursor up, down, left, or right. To select a menu, move the cursor
left and right to highlight the menu you want. The drop-down
menu appears.
NOTE: Some menu items may be
grayed out at certain times. This
indicates the item is not applicable
to your setup (for example, video
standards do not apply to com-
puter sources) or the item is not
enabled until another selection is
made (for example, Manual Track-
ing is not available until Auto
Image is turned off).
FIGURE 12
Drop-down menu
To change a menu setting, use the up and down arrow keys on
the keypad to move the cursor up and down to the item you want
to change (the selected item is highlighted red), then use the left
and right mouse buttons (not the left and right arrow buttons) to
adjust a setting. Some submenus, such as Brightness, consist of a
slider bar you use to increase or decrease a value; some sub-
menus, such as Standby Time, consist of options you scroll
through to select the desired one. All changes are saved when
you close the menus.
To access another menu, use the left and right arrow buttons to
move left or right to another 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
either mouse 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 or
down. It only affects computer images that are not in the projec-
tor ’s native resolution of 800x600.
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 either mouse 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 noisy
or streaked, try turning Auto Im age off then back on again. If the
image still looks bad, try adjusting the signal synchronization
manually:
1 Turn Auto Image off.
2 Highlight Manual sync, then press either mouse button
repeatedly until the image is sharp and free of streaks.

Manual Tracking
The projector adjusts tracking automatically to match the video
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 Im age off then back
on again. If the image is still bad, try adjusting the tracking man-
ually:
1 Turn Auto Image off.

ton to move the image right or press the right mouse button to
move the image left.

Controls Menu
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.) The input signals for SECAM, PAL-M, and PAL-N
video cannot be automatically detected, therefore they must be
chosen manually. 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 standard by
clicking either mouse 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 either mouse button and
cycling through the options.
Ceiling Projection
When you turn Ceiling Projection on, the projector turns the
image upside down for ceiling-mounted projection. Highlight
Ceiling Projection, then click either mouse button to turn this fea-
ture on and off.
NOTE: To order the Ceiling
Mount, refer to “Optional Accesso-
ries” on page 40.

projector automatically finds the active source, checking the
default source first. Highlight Auto Source Select and click either
mouse button to turn this feature on and off.
Plug and Play
This setting toggles between On and Off. When it is On, most
new computers will automatically recognize the projector, then
set the monitor resolution and refresh rate accordingly. You need
to set the Plug and Play setting to Off for the projector to display
properly on some older computers. The Plug and Play setting
does not affect video images.
If the projector ’s display constantly changes between the com-
puter image and the message, “Perfecting the image”, you may
need to set Plug and Play to Off.
Display Messages
This setting toggles between On and Off. When this feature is On,
status messages such as “No signal detected” or “Standby
Active” appear in the lower-right corner of the screen. Click

This section describes how to:
• clean the lens
• replace the projection lamp
• use the Kensington lock feature
• troubleshoot the projector
Cleaning the Lens
Follow these steps to clean the projection lens:
1 Apply a non-abrasive camera lens cleaner to a soft, dry cloth.
• Avoid using an excessive amount of cleaner.
• Abrasive cleaners, solvents or other harsh chemicals might
scratch the lens.
2 Lightly wipe the cleaning cloth over the lens.
3 If you don’t intend to use the projector immediately, replace
the lens cap.
Replacing the Projection Lam p
The lamp hour counter in the Status menu counts the number of
hours the lamp has been in use. The projector uses a metal halide
bulb. These types of bulbs deteriorate over time. Replace the
lamp when the brightness is no longer acceptable. You can order
new lamp modules from Boxlight. See “Accessories” on page 39
for information.
WARNING: To avoid burns,
allow the projector to cool for at
least 30 minutes before you open
the lamp module door. Never
extract the lamp module while the
lamp is operating.
Follow these steps to replace the projection lamp:
1 Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord.
2 Wait 30 minutes to allow it to cool thoroughly.
3 Place the projector on its side, then insert a small screwdriver
or other flat object into the tabs on the lamp module door (Fig-
ure 19).

Portable and Laptop Activation Chart
Many laptop computers do not automatically turn on their exter-
nal video port when a secondary display device such as a projec-
tor is connected. Activation commands for some laptop
computers are listed in the following table. (If your computer is
not listed or the given command does not work, refer to the com-
puter’s documentation for the appropriate command.) On some
laptops, the activation function key is labeled with an icon, for
example

NOTE: Often, pressing the key
commands once activates the
external video port, pressing it
again activates both the external
and internal ports, and pressing it
a third time activates the internal
port. Refer to your computer’s doc-
umentation for details on your spe-
cific model.

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; 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.
