TIP • Most errors or problems can be avoided if, the video cables between the Computer and Projector are connected correctly, • And the Projector is powered on and allowed to fully cycle on, • The Computer may be started only after the Projector is has fully cycled up, If these steps are not followed, the projector will not function properly.

  5. Getting Started • On the back of the Projector is a Video input, an A/C power cord plug and a On/Off power switch.

  6. Step 1 Connect the Video Cable into the Projector Note* there are two connectors attached to the opposite end of this cable, a blue Video connector and a small rectangular USB connector

  7. Locate the Video port on the Laptop

  8. Step 2 Connect the Video Cable into the Laptop

  11. Step 5 • Turn on the Projector, let it fully cycle up

  12. Step 6 • Plug the Laptop Power Cord into an A/C power outlet

  13. Step 7 • Turn on the Laptop

  14. If, all the following steps were followed in order, you will have the video image from the Laptop projected through the Projector. • This method uses the Laptops Operating System to find and configure the Projector using Microsoft's “Plug-and-Play Feature.

  15. Problems: • If the Projector is not finding a signal from the laptop, (No Image being projected) • Re-check your cables, if a cable was not properly connected, power down both the Laptop and Projector and begin again. • If all the cables are connected and the equipment has power, and there is still a problem:

  16. On the Laptop, Keyboard • Hold down the Keyboard Function Key (Fn) • Press the (LCD/CRT) key (usually the Keyboard (F2) Key) • Once to display only through the Projector • Twice to display through the Laptop and Projector • Three times to project only on the Laptop

  17. Problems • The Projector is working but the image is not equal to the quality of the Laptop. • 1. Screen is “Tiled” Horizontal or Vertical breaks in the image from the image being randomly “tiled” • 2. Or the screen overlaps the projected area and the outside margin is missing

  18. Solution 1 • You have a desktop background that is incompatible with the maximum resolution of the Projector. • Remove the background image, shutdown and re-start the computer. • On the desktop, right mouse click on a neutral area, from the drop down menu select “Properties”, • Click on the “Desktop Tab”, • Chose the (None) option for the background • Click apply, then OK • Re-start the computer

  19. Solution 2 • Your screen resolution setting is greater than the Projectors. This often happens because YOU TURNED ON THE COMPUTER BEFORE THE PROJECTOR! • On the desktop, right mouse click on a neutral area, from the drop down menu select “Properties”, • Click on the “Settings” Tab • Using the “Screen Resolution” slider select 800 x 600 pixels as your screen resolution. • Click “apply” Click “OK” • You should not have to re-start the system

  20. Please!!! • Treat the equipment with respect • Return all cables (keep your Laptop power cable) • Return the Laser pointer and remote mouse • Ask for instructions if you are not sure or have not used the equipment. • Don’t wait for the last minute to reserve the equipment.
