Connecting the Cable for Remote Mouse Control

Using the remote control as a wireless mouse lets you control your computer and click through slideshow-style presentations, such as PowerPoint, from up to 30 feet away (for details, see page 39). This gives you more flexibility in delivering your presentation, since you won’t need to stand near your computer.

The USB cable also provides audio support. If your presentation includes sound, you can play it through the projector’s speakers by connecting the USB cable.

1.Locate the cable you need, depending on whether your laptop has a round PS/2 mouse port or a flat USB mouse port.

2.Connect one end of the cable to the projector’s USB or

Mouse port.

3.Connect the other end of the cable to the external mouse port or USB port on your laptop.

4.If necessary, configure your laptop to work with an external mouse.

If you don’t need to make any other connections, you can plug in your projector and turn it on. See page 20 for instructions.

note

If you’re using a PowerBook that has a round mouse port, you’ll need a Macintosh mouse cable. If you have a PC laptop with a serial mouse port, you’ll need a serial mouse cable. See your projector dealer to obtain the correct cable.
