Making Connections

Connecting Your PC or Macintosh Computer

Enabling the computer's external display
Displaying an image on the notebook PC's screen does not necessarily mean it outputs
a signal to the projector. When using a PC compatible laptop, a combination of function
keys will enable/disable the external display. Usually, the combination of the Fn-key
along with one of the 12 function keys gets the external display to come on or off. For
example, NEC laptops use Fn + F3, while Dell laptops use Fn + F8 key combinations to
toggle through external display selections.
To connect a PC or Macintosh computer to the projector, refer to the following guide.
1. Connect a computer to the projector through one of the three available input data
connections before turning on the PC or the projector. The best signal order
