262K COLOR LCD PANEL
6. Make sure the power on the
LCD Panel is off, then plug the
power cord into a convenient
AC outlet.
7. Turn on the PC, then the LCD
Panel.
NOTE: Follow this power-up sequence, or
the video signals might not be
synchronized corectly. The image
on the Color LCD Panel is made up
of red, green, and blue parts, and
the parts are synchronized to the
incoming video signal from the
computer. If there isn't a video
signal from the computer—if you
turn on the LCD Panel while the
computer is still off, for example—
then the LCD Panel might lose
synchronization, and you'll see a
split image of red, green, and blue.
To bring the LCD panel back to
normal, you can press the RESET
button on the panel or on the remote
control.
Avoid turning on the LCD Panel
for any length of time when no video
signal is present—that can reduce
the lifetime of the LCD.
8. Run a program on the
computer that creates a
colorful image on the screen.
It's easier to adjust the LCD
panel when it's showing a
colorful image. Focus the
projector.
CAUTION
Make sure the LCD Panel's
power adapter is completely
connected before you turn
on the projector. The cooling
fans in the LCD Panel won't
work unless the power
connected, and the h
from the projector cou
damage the Panel.

RESET button and the COLOR
button on the front panel at the same
time. To go back to Text Mode, press

1. Make sure the Mac is switched
off. Never connect the LCD
panel when the Macintosh is
turned on.
2. Disconnect the monitor cable
from the Mac, and plug it into
the short cable stub on the Y
cable. Tighten the thumbscrews
to make sure you have a good
connection.
NOTE: The external monitor must be
connected for the computer to work.
3. Plug the single-connector end
of the Y cable—the end with
two cables coming out of it—
into the Macintosh video port.
Again, tighten the thumbscrews
to make a tight connection.
4. Plug the DB25 connector (the
large one) into the LCD Panel.
5. Plug the 6-pin mini-DIN
connector from the power
adapter into the DC-IN jack on
the LCD Panel. Connect the
socket end of the AC cord to
the power adapter.
