Turn on your computer.

The computer’s image should appear on the projection screen. If it doesn’t, press the Computer button on the projector’s keypad.

If your computer has Windows 98 as its operating system, see “Using the projector with Windows 98 for the first time” on page 14 regarding the driver setup process.

Make sure your laptop’s external video port is active.

Many laptops do not automatically turn on their external video port when a projector is connected. Usually a key combination like FN + F8 or CRT/LCD key turns the external display on and off. Locate a function key labeled CRT/LCD or a function key with a monitor symbol. Press FN and the labeled function key simultaneously. Refer to your laptop’s documenta- tion to learn your laptop’s key combination.
