Usage Guidelines • Do not look directly into the projection lens when the projector is turned on. The bright light may harm your eyes. • Do not block the grills on the projector. Restricting the air flow can cause it to overheat and turn off. If this happens, you must wait a minute before attempting to turn it back on. • Handle the projector as you would any product with glass components. Be especially careful not to drop it.
I 6 n t r o d u c t i o n
SETTING UP THE PROJECTOR 1 Place the projector on a flat surface. • The projector must be within 10 feet (3 m) of your power source and within 8 feet (2.4 m) of your computer. • If you want to project from behind a translucent screen, set up the projector behind your screen. See “Rear Projection” on page 31 to reverse the image. • If you are installing the projector on the ceiling, refer to the Ceiling Mount Installation Guide that comes with the Ceiling Mount Kit for more information.
S e t t i n g u p t h e P r o j e c t o r Connecting the CablePro III to the Projector CAUTION: Turn off the computer, monitor and projector whenever you connect or disconnect cables. The CablePro III (referred to as “CablePro” in this manual for brevity) simplifies the connection process by providing a central hub for all the connections between the projector and your computer. The connectors on the CablePro are labeled with icons.
Preparing to Connect Your Equipment to the Projector Now you’re ready to connect your equipment. Computers are connected to the CablePro. Video players are connected directly to the projector. NOTE: Before you continue, Steps for connecting the different types of equipment are given on the pages listed below. equipment are turned off.

Plug the cable’s red connector into the right “audio out” port on the video player (Figure 11 and Figure 12). • If you’re using an S-video cable, the yellow connectors on the A/V cable remain unused (Figure 12).
S e t t i n g u p t h e P r o j e c t o r Powering up the Projector and Adjusting the Image 1 Remove the lens cap. NOTE: Always use the power cord that shipped with the projector. 2 Plug the power cord into the side of the projector, then plug it into your electrical outlet. A surge-protected power strip is recommended. 3 Turn on the projector by pressing the “I” side of the power switch (see Figure 2 on page 4).
Turning Off the Projector If you want to turn off the projector for a short period of time, press the standby button on the keypad or remote. This blanks the screen for fifteen minutes, but keeps the projector running. (You can change the amount of time the projector stays in standby mode; see “Standby Time” on page 30 for details.) After 15 minutes, the lamp goes out (the projector keeps running). To exit standby mode, press the standby button again.
USING THE PROJECTOR This section describes how to use and make adjustments to the projector. It also provides a reference to the keypad and remote buttons and the options available from the on-screen menus. Basic Image Adjustment 1 Make sure you have powered up your equipment in the right order (page 16). 2 If the image doesn’t display completely, zoom the image (page 21), adjust the height of the projector (page 21) or center the image by adjusting its horizontal or vertical position (page 29).

See “Using the On-Screen Menus” on page 24 for details. left/right mouse buttons power LED FIGURE 16 Keypad Menu Press menu to open the on-screen menus (the keypad lights green). Press menu again to close the menus.
Standby When you press standby, the display and audio turn off and a blank screen is displayed for 15 minutes. You can change the amount of time the projector stays in standby mode; see “Standby Time” on page 30 for details. • If you press standby again within 15 minutes, the projector returns to normal operations immediately. • If you press standby again after 15 minutes, there is about a 30 second delay before the lamp turns back on.
U s i n g t h e P r o j e c t o r Using the On-Screen Menus The projector has six drop-down menus that allow you to make image adjustments and change a variety of settings. Most of these adjustments aren’t available directly from the keypad. NOTE: Some menu items may be grayed out at certain times. This indicates the item is not applicable to your setup (for example, video standards do not apply to To open the on-screen menus, press the menu button on the keypad or remote.
Display Menu FIGURE 18 Display menu Brightness Adjusting the brightness changes the intensity of the image. • Press the left mouse button to darken the image. • Press the right mouse button to lighten the image. Tint The tint adjusts the red-green color balance in the projected image. Changing the Tint setting has no effect on PAL or SECAM video sources. • Press the left mouse button to increase the amount of green in the image. • Press the right mouse button to increase the amount of red in the image.
U s i n g t h e P r o j e c t o r Color The color setting adjusts a video image from black and white to fully saturated color. • Press the left mouse button to decrease the amount of color in the image. • Press the right mouse button to increase the amount of color in the image. Blank Screen Blank Screen determines what color is displayed when there is no active source and when the projector is in standby. Click either mouse button to toggle between blue and black.
Audio Menu FIGURE 19 Audio menu Volume • Press the left mouse button to decrease the volume. • Press the right mouse button to increase the volume. Volume adjustments you make are saved for each source. NOTE: Changing the volume from the menu is the same as changing it using the keypad. Treble The treble setting controls the high frequencies of your audio source. • Press the left mouse button to decrease the treble. • Press the right mouse button to increase the treble.
U s i n g t h e P r o j e c t o r Image Menu FIGURE 20 Image menu Auto Image NOTE: Some screen savers interfere with the operation of Auto Image. If you’re experiencing problems, try turning your screen saver off, then turning Auto Image off and back on. The projector automatically adjusts tracking, signal synchronization and vertical and horizontal position for most computers (Auto Image does not apply to video sources).
Manual Tracking The projector adjusts tracking automatically to match the video signal from your computer. However, if the display shows evenly spaced, fuzzy, vertical lines or if the projected image is too wide or too narrow for the screen, try turning Auto Image off then back on again. If the image is still bad, try adjusting the tracking manually: 1 Turn Auto Image off. 2 Highlight Manual tracking, the press either mouse button repeatedly until the fuzzy vertical bars are gone.
U s i n g t h e P r o j e c t o r Controls Menu FIGURE 21 Controls menu Video Standard NOTE: If you already know the video standard used in your geographical area, it’s often best to manually select it. When Video standard is set to Auto, the projector attempts to pick the video standard (NTSC, NTSC 4.43, PAL, PAL-M, PAL-N, or SECAM) automatically based on the input signal it receives. (The video standard options may vary depending on your region of the world.
Rear Projection When you turn Rear Projection on, the projector reverses the image so you can project from behind a translucent screen. Highlight Rear Projection, then click either mouse button to turn this feature on and off. Default Source Default Source toggles between Computer and Video. This determines which source the projector checks first for active video during power-up. Highlight Default Source and click either mouse button to toggle between the options.
U s i n g t h e P r o j e c t o r Display Startup Screen This setting toggles between On and Off. When this feature is On, the startup screen appears when the projector starts up and remains until an active source is detected. The startup screen contains information on contacting Boxlight. Click either mouse button to turn this feature off and display a plain black or blue screen instead of the startup screen.
Status Menu This is a read-only window for informational purposes. To display the status window, select Show status from the menu, then click either mouse button. To remove the window, click either mouse button. FIGURE 23 Status menu Lamp hours used Indicates how many hours the current lamp has been in use.
