NOTE: Many laptop computers do not automatically turn on their external video port when a secondary display device such as a projector is connected. Refer to your computer manual for the command that activates the external video port. Activation commands for some laptop computers are listed in the Appendix.

NOTE: If you don’t want audio or mouse control, you can use a simplified cable called CablePro Lite, ordered separately.

NOTE: If you are connecting an older Macintosh computer that does not have a 15-pin connector, you must use a Mac adaptor between the computer and the CablePro. See “Optional Accessories” on page 46.
