Connecting Your Computer/Connecting the Power Cord

1. Connectyourcomputertotheprojector.

This section will show you a basic connection to a computer. For information about other connections, see “6. InstallationandConnections”onpage104.

Connectthecomputercable(VGA)betweentheprojector’sCOMPUTER1INconnectorandthecomputer’sport(mini D-Sub 15 Pin). Turn two thumb screws of both connectors to fix the computer cable (VGA).

2. Connectthesuppliedpowercordtotheprojector.

Firstconnectthesuppliedpowercord’sthree-pinplugtotheACINoftheprojector,andthenconnecttheotherplug of the supplied power cord in the wall outlet.

The projector’s power indicator will flash for a few seconds and then will light orange* (standby mode).

The STATUS indicator will also light green*.
