Setting Up the Projector
19
If you don’t need to make any other connections, you can plug in
your projector and turn it on. See page 30 for instructions.
If more than one device is connected to the projector, select the
correct source after projection starts by pressing the
Source Search
button on the projector or the
Comp1
or
Comp2
button on the
remote control. See page 32.
Connecting the USB Cable for Remote Mouse
Control
Using the remote control as a wireless mouse lets you click through
slideshow-style presentations, such as PowerPoint, from up to 20 feet
away. This makes it easy to deliver your presentation, since you won’t
need to stand near your computer.
To use the wireless mouse function, your system must have a USB
port and the full version of one of these operating systems:
1. If you are using a desktop computer, disconnect the mouse cable
from your computer.
2. Locate the USB mouse cable that came with the projector and
connect the square end of the cable to the projector’s USB
port.
Windows ® Macintosh
Windows 98SE, 2000, Me, or XP Macintosh OS 8.6 to 9.2, OS X
note
You cannot connect your
computer to the projector
using only a USB cable. To
receive signals from the
computer, you must connect it
with the VGA cable that came
with your projector or a
VGA–5BNC cable.
Connecting the USB cable lets
you use the remote control as a
wireless mouse.
For details about using the
remote control as a wireless
mouse, see page 47.
