￿Making Connections

NOTE: When using with a notebook PC, be sure to connect between the projector and the notebook PC before turning on the power to the notebook PC. In most cases signal cannot be output from RGB output unless the notebook PC is turned on after connecting with the projector.

*If the screen goes blank while using your remote control, it may be the result of the computer's screen-saver or power management software.

*If you accidentally hit the POWER button on the remote control, wait 60 seconds and then press the POWER button again to resume.

Enabling the computer’s external display

Displaying an image on the notebook PC’s screen does not necessarily mean it outputs a signal to the projector. When using a PC compatible laptop, a combination of function keys will enable/disable the external display. Usually, the combination of the ‘Fn” key along with one of the 12 function keys gets the external display to come on or off. For example, NEC laptops use Fn + F3, while Dell laptops use Fn + F8 key combinations to toggle through external display selections.

Another distinguishing characteristic of the VT770 is its lightweight and portable design, making it an excellent choice for professionals on the go. It can be easily transported between locations, enabling spontaneous presentations without the need for extensive setup time.
