• Have your display set to 640x480 or 800x600 (avoid 1024x768 - it may not display correctly). Know how to configure your video settings in case there is a problem.
• Avoid delays from booting your computer at the start of the presentation. Some computers require the projector be attached in order for the video port to be activated - use a computer that is able to detect a video display without requiring a reboot.

The ideal scenario would be to load the presentation software and open the slide show prior to the presentation, and then put the computer in a "suspend" or "sleep" state. At the start of the presentation, attach the projector to the video port, and then "wake" or "resume" the computer.


• Know how to activate your computer's video port - this often requires a specific key combination and is different on different computers.
• Bring your computer's power cable/cord and use it to be sure of a strong signal from the computer to the projector. Do not plan to power your computer with the battery. You will not need an extension cord.
• There will be no remote control, so plan on running the keyboard yourself.

Special Note for Macintosh Users

• You must bring your own docking cable for the connection between the computer and the projector.
• You must have "Video Mirroring" on your system. This can be loaded from the System disks (version 7.0 and higher).
