1) Turn the MAIN power on the projector. The main power is on the rear of the projector. The power indicator lights red and the projector enters the stand by mode.

2) Make sure the cable marked VGA is plugged in to the input of the projector.  Plug the other end of the VGA cable in to the laptop computer monitor jack.(Use MAC cable if using MAC)

3) Press the power button on the side of the projector

(NOTE -If the power is turned on immediately after it is turned off, it may take a short while before the lamp turns on.  During this period the LAMP REPLACEMENT indicator flashes.)

4) Turn on the laptop computer. 

5) If the computer image is not displayed on the projector check the following

• Press the input select button on the side of the projector.  It should say RGB if it does not press the input select button again until it says RGB. 
• If the words under the RGB say “NO SIGNAL” then the laptop output is not enabled.  On the laptop press the FN key and the F3 key. This toggles the output from the laptop to the projector. (NOTE – not all laptops use the F3 key some use F7, look at the top of the keys and select the one labeled LCD)
• If the words under the RGB say “NON REG” then the resolution on the laptop is set to high.  Use the control panel monitor settings in WINDOWS to change it to 800 X 600 or lower with a refresh rate of 75khz or lower.
