Powering up the Projector

1Remove the lens cap.

2Plug the power cord into the back of the projector, then plug it into your electrical outlet. A surge-protected power strip is recommended.

The LED on the top of the projector (Figure 11 on page 18) lights orange after a few seconds.

3After the LED lights orange, press the Power button on the projector’s keypad or remote.

The fans start to run, the LED on the top of the projector lights green, and the InFocus startup screen appears. It takes about one minute for the image to achieve full bright- ness.

4If you connected a video player, turn it on.

The video image should display on the projection screen. If it doesn’t, press the Source/Select button on the keypad (page 18) or the Video button on the remote to display your video image.

5If you connected a computer, turn it on.

The computer image should display on the projection screen. If it doesn’t, press the Source/Select button on the keypad or the Computer button on the remote to display your computer’s image.

Make sure your laptop’s external video port is activated; see “Portable and Laptop Activation Chart” on page 42 for details.

If necessary, make adjustments to the image using the pro- jector’s on-screen menus. To open the menus, press the Menu button on the keypad or remote. For more informa- tion about the menus, see page 21.

NOTE: Always use the power cord that shipped with the projector.

NOTE: The first time you connect your computer to the projector, the computer may display a message stating that new hardware was found. The Add New Hardware Wizard may appear. Use the Wiz- ard to load the correct driver (the computer considers the projector a Plug and Play Monitor).

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.
