• In the connections above, some cables may not be included with the projector (see Shipping contents
on page 8). They are commercially available from electronics stores.
• The connection illustrations are for reference only. The rear connecting jacks available on the projector
vary with each projector model.
• Many notebooks do not turn on their external video ports when connected to a projector. Usually a key
combo like FN + function key, or Windows + F9 with a monitor symbol turns the external display on/off.
Press FN and the labeled function key simultaneously. Refer to your notebook's documentation to find
your notebook's key combination.
• If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on and the correct video source
has been selected, check that the video source device is turned on and operating correctly. Also check
that the signal cables have been connected correctly.
