NOTE: With some computers, 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.

NOTE: Lamp life will be extended if you turn the power off, then wait 1 minute while the lamp cools before unplugging the projector. The Lamp LED will light green when the lamp has cooled.

5The computer image should display on the projection screen. If it doesn’t, press the source button on the keypad or the data button on the remote to display your computer’s image. Make sure your laptop’s external video port is activated; see your computer’s user guide for details.

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, then select the Display or Image sub-menu. For more information about the menus, see page 33. You may need to adjust the screen aspect (page 35) or the degamma (page 44).

Turning Off the Projector

If you want to turn off the projector for a short period of time, press the standby button on the keypad or remote. 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 page 45 for details.) After 15 minutes, the lamp goes out. To exit standby mode, press the standby button again. (It may take several seconds for the projection lamp to reach full power and project the image again.) See page 32 for details on standby mode.

To turn off the projector, press the power button. The lamp turns off and the LED blinks amber for a minute while the fans con- tinue to run to cool the lamp. When the lamp has cooled, the LED lights green and the fans stop. Unplug the power cord to com- pletely power off the projector.
