Connecting a computer

The projector provides a VGA input socket that allows you to connect it to a laptop or
desktop computer.
To connect the projector to a laptop or desktop computer:
1. Take the supplied VGA cable and connect one end to the D-Sub output socket of the
computer.
2. Connect the other end of the VGA cable to the D-SUB signal input socket on the
projector.
The final connection path should be like that shown in the following diagram:
Many laptops do not turn on their external video ports when connected to a projector. Usually
a key combo like FN + F3 or CRT/LCD key turns the external display on/off. Locate a function
key labeled CRT/LCD or a function key with a monitor symbol on the laptop. Press FN and the
labeled function key simultaneously. Refer to your laptop's documentation to find your
laptop's key combination.
