Introduction Your new digital projector is simple to connect, easy to use, and straightforward to maintain. It is a versatile projector that is flexible enough for business presentations and home video viewing too. The IN3902LB has native XGA 1024x768 resolution, and the IN3904LB has WXGA 1280x800 resolution. This guide applies to all products.

Then to begin installation of the DisplayLink software: Windows: Follow the instructions on the screen. Macintosh: A folder will open containing a file named DisplayLink Installer.pkg. Open that file and follow the instructions on the screen.
Optional computer connections To get sound from the projector, connect an audio cable (optional cable, not included) to your computer and to the Audio In Computer connector on the projector. You may also need an adapter. If you are using a desktop computer and want to see the image on your computer screen as well as on the projection screen, connect the computer’s monitor cable to the Monitor Out connector on the projector. NOTE: Only VGA video is sent to the Monitor out connector.

What is Aspect Ratio? 4:3 screen Aspect ratio is the ratio of the image width to image height. Standard TV screens and older laptops are 4:3; HDTV and most DVDs are 16:9; and widescreen computers are 16:10. If you are projecting onto a screen, the size/shape of the screen will influence the aspect ratio you decide to use. If you are projecting onto a blank wall, there are no screen size restrictions. What you plan to project will also help you choose between 4:3, 16:9 or 16:10.
Connecting a video device HDMI 1.3 connection HDMI is a standard, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI provides an interface between sources, such as set-top boxes, DVD players, and receivers and your projector. Plug an HDMI cable into the video-out connector on the video device and into the HDMI connector on the projector. You can connect video devices such as VCRs, DVD players, camcorders, digital cameras, video game consoles, HDTV receivers, and TV tuners to the projector.
LiteBoard™ Wand sure the computer is powered on). The battery light will stay on while the battery is charging, then it will turn off when the battery is fully charged. The LiteBoard Wand works like a wireless mouse - but one that works in midair, not on your desktop. Just hold the wand in your hand, and point it at the projected image to point, click and drag. The wand works with all your software, just like a regular mouse.
NOTE: See LiteBoard Wand Menu below for settings that let you fine-tune wand motion and clicking behavior. When you’re done, set the wand aside and make sure it isn’t pointing at the screen; it will turn itself off automatically after 1 minute. If you have problems, see Troubleshooting (below). Wand Position and Avoiding Shadows Your Location Distance from the Screen You can use the LiteBoard Wand right up against the screen, or around the room.
Buttons and Wand Tip Reset Button The wand's three top buttons are equivalent to the left (labeled 'L'), right (labeled 'R'), and middle (labeled 'M') buttons on a mouse. The wand's tip is also a button, and it's also equivalent to the left mouse button. NOTE: By default, the M button changes wand motion between Normal and Draw. Normal makes clicking easier, but Draw allows smoother motion.
- Make sure the wand is not pointing at a shadow and make sure its tip is not in a shadow. - If the room is brightly lit, reduce the room illumination. - If you're trying to use the computer's mouse at the same time as the wand, point the wand away from the screen while using the mouse. - If someone else is using a different wand with the same projector, they must stop using it before you can use another wand. - Change the Link Channel value in the LiteBoard Wand menu.
On Macintosh: Select System Preferences from the Apple Menu, then select Displays. Click Arrangement, and check “Mirror Displays.” • If the battery light does not turn on when the wand is being charged, try one of the following: - Make sure a USB cable is connected between the wand and either the USB power adapter, or a USB port on your computer. - If the wand is connected to the USB power adapter, make sure the adapter is plugged in to a live electrical outlet.
