Turn on your computer or video device.

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

If you are using a VGA cable to connect your computer to the projector:

If using a laptop, make sure its 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 documentation for more information about your laptop’s key combination or go to the InFocus website at: http://www.infocus.com/Support/ LaptopActivation.aspx.
