							USER GUIDELCD PROJECTOR12 7 SETTING UP THE LCD PROJECTOR
Switch off all equipment before connecting the projector. Be aware of static
electricity that may build up, especially in the dry season and when
operating on synthetic carpets. Discharge any static electricity by touching
a metallic surface before you start.Do not cover the air inlet in front or the air outlet on top of the
projector housing, as this will block the cooling. Also make sure
to place the projector on a flat, hard surface to avoid blocking
the bottom air inlet. A thermal safety switch will cut off the
illumination system if the ventilation is reduced.Place the LCD projector on a table at a suitable distance from the
projection screen in order to get the desired size of the projected image on
the wall (see illustration below). Adjust the projection lens for a sharp
image by turning the focusing wheel on the lens barrel. Project on a flat
surface screen with high reflectivity to get a bright and undistorted,
rectangular image. Best results are obtained in a dimmed room with no
direct sunlight shining in.DISTANCE1.00m/”2.00m/  78”3.00m/”4.00m/”WIDTH0.64m/  24”1.23m/”1.80m/”2.40m/  94”HEIGHT0.48m/”0.92m/  36”1.36m/”1.80m/”DIAGONAL0.80m/  32”1.53m/”2.27m/  89”3.00m/” 
						

							USER GUIDELCD PROJECTOR13 7.1 COMPUTERSwitch off all equipment before you connect the LCD projector
to the computer, mouse and video source as outlined in the
following chapters. Then apply power first to the LCD projector,
then to the computer and video source for correct operation.Connect the LCD projector, computer and monitor as shown in the rear
foldout page (see Connection Layout).
The projector has three source input connectors. At power up, it will default
to project the signal from source 1. The other two source-inputs are
activated by using the remote control. You may connect three different
sources simultaneously and select among them.
There are two V-split cables included (1,2). One uses 15-pin D-SUB
connectors and is directly compatible with most PC’s. It can also be used
with certain workstations equipped with this type of connector. Adapters
are available for this cable to use it with MAC, SUN and other
workstations.
The other cable is intended for workstations using a monitor with BNC type
connectors.
If you prefer not to use a monitor, there is no need to terminate the end of
the cable.
7.1.1 PC
Connect the VGA/XGA V-Split cable (2) to the LCD projector, preferably
using source 1. Disconnect the monitor cable from the back of your PC
and reconnect it with the short lead of the V-split (2A). Connect the long
lead of the V-split (2B) to the computer.
7.1.2 MAC
The projector is directly compatible with Macintosh computers that use the
APPLE 15-pin D-SUB standard connector (variants with other connectors
requires adapters from Apple).  A set of two MAC adapters must be
ordered separately and attached to the end of the PC compatible cable
(See Adapters below).
7.1.3 WORKSTATIONS
Connect the BNC V-Split cable (1) to the LCD projector, preferably using
source 1. Disconnect the monitor cable from the BNC inputs at the back of 
						

							USER GUIDELCD PROJECTOR14 your monitor and re-connect with the shortest lead of the V-split (1B).
Connect the longest lead of the V-split (1A) to the monitor BNC inputs.
7.1.4 ADAPTERS
If you have a computer that requires adapters to physically connect, insert
applicable adapter(s) onto the V-split of the PC compatible cable (2A,2B)
as described in the table on page 10.

TO SET UP FROM THE REMOTE CONTROL :
To assist you in setting up and fine tuning the projector, fill a large portion
of your screen with a 50% grey pattern (alternating black and white pixels).
Then make sure that the projector is set to direct (1:1) default mode before
adjusting the frequency setting. This can be done by pressing the SCALE
button on the remote control.
STEPOPERATION1Press RESET for default settings2Adjust FREQUENCY until all vertical bands disappear3Adjust TUNE for a stable image4Press POSITION, then use cursor keys to position the image5Adjust CONTRAST and BRIGHTNESS as desired6Press SCALE to compress/expand the image if desired 
						

							USER GUIDELCD PROJECTOR15 7.2 MOUSE
See the rear foldout when setting up.
Connect the mouse-cable to the LCD projector (3). Connect the
appropriate adapter (4) to the end of the mouse-cable, labelled “MA”. Then
connect the adapter to the appropriate computer mouse port.For the computer to recognise the mouse, connect all cables
and power on the projector before the computer is booted.A Y-split is provided with the PC and optional MAC adapters that enables
parallel use of the local computer mouse and the remote mouse. The local
and remote mice should however not be operated simultaneously, as this
may lead to unpredictable positioning of the mouse pointer.
The optional PS/2 adapter does not have a Y-split.

mouse adapter to work. A special straight PC adapter is available for this purpose. 
						

							USER GUIDELCD PROJECTOR16 USING THE BATMOUSE:
STEPOPERATION1Control mouse pointer directly with the cursor keys2Press LEFT to activate (emulates the left mouse key)3Press DRAG to tag an object, move it using the cursor keys,
then press DRAG again (or wait 5 seconds) to release the
object (Drag-and-Drop).4Press RIGHT if your application requires emulation of the
right mouse key.The centre key of a three-key mouse is not supported.
If double-click does not work properly, try to adjust the double-click rate
within the computer application in use. Do not double-click too fast. To
activate the pull-down menus on a Macintosh computer, use the DRAG
key instead of the left mouse key. 
						

							USER GUIDELCD PROJECTOR17 8 USING THE LCD PROJECTOR
The LCD projector has a set of connectors and controls that you need to
know in order to operate the device correctly.
8.1 OPTICS
The projection lens is mounted in the front of the projector. The optical
system is designed with a 8 degree keystone correction so that the
projected image is shifted upwards on the wall. This in effect enables the
placement of the projector on a flat table, still getting a rectangularly
projected image above the projector on the wall.Avoid scratching and bumping the lens, as this will reduce the
quality of the projected image. Always re-cap the lens when not
in use!8.2 ILLUMINATION SYSTEM
The LCD projector uses a long life 575W metal halide lamp for
illumination. When approaching the end of the expected life time for the
lamp, a lamp timer will prompt for lamp change (see the Lamp
Replacement Messages section). Each time the lamp is activated a
message stating software revision and used lamp life hours will appear in
the lower left hand corner of the screen.The lamp is under high pressure when in operation. NEVER
attempt to open the unit for lamp change. Refer all servicing to
authorized personnel only. See the Lamp Replacement section. 
						

							USER GUIDELCD PROJECTOR18 8.3 REMOTE CONTROL
The infrared BatMouseä remote control (RC) is the main user interface to
the projector. The RC is used to set the LCD projector correctly (to get the
best possible viewing conditions) and to control the presentation.
The figure shows the different keys on the remote control.Set-up should be performed once with the application(s) and computer you
are running most frequently. Allow some minutes for the equipment to
warm up before adjusting. Most settings will automatically be memorized
individually for each source for future use. 
						

							USER GUIDELCD PROJECTOR19 The MEM column in the tables below indicates whether the setting is
memorized for each source. For a detailed overview, see the Features
section.
