PowerLite 1825 The Projector and Notebook Don't Display the Same Image If you're projecting from a notebook, and you can't see your image on the projection screen and on your computer at the same time, follow these guidelines: If you're using a PC notebook: ❏ On most systems, there's a function key that lets you toggle between the LCD screen and the projector, or display on both at the same time. It may be labeled CRT/LCD or have an icon such as . You may have to hold down the Fn key while pressing it. Allow a few seconds for the projector to sync up after changing the setting. ❏ If the function key doesn't permit you to display simultaneously on both screens, you should check your monitor settings to make sure both the LCD screen and the external monitor port are enabled. From the Control Panel, open the Display utility. In the Display Properties dialog box, click the Settings tab, then click Advanced. The method for adjusting the settings varies by brand; you may need to click a Monitor tab, then make sure the external Monitor port is set as your primary display and/or enabled. See your computer's documentation or online help for details. If you're using Mac OS X: You may need to set up your system to display on the projector screen as well as the LCD screen. Follow these steps: 1. From the Apple® menu, select System Preferences, then click Displays. 2. Select VGA Display or Color LCD, click Arrange or Arrangement, and make sure Mirror Displays is checked. Adjusting the Image Once you see your image, you may need to make certain adjustments, as described in this section. Adjusting the Height of the Image If the image is too low on the screen, you can use the front adjustable foot to raise it. 1. Stand behind the projector. Press the foot release lever and lift the front of the projector. 2. Once the image is positioned where you want it, release the lever to lock the foot in position. 3. If necessary, you can fine-tune the height or level the image by turning any of the projector's adjustable feet. Raising the projector causes the image to distort or "keystone," but you can correct the shape as described on page 6. Focusing and Zooming the Image To sharpen the image, turn the focus ring on the projector. To reduce or enlarge the image, turn the zoom ring on the projector. Focus Zoom If the image still isn't large enough, you may need to move the projector farther away from the screen. You can also use the E-Zoom buttons on the remote control to zoom in on a portion of the image. See page 8 for instructions. 2/08 5
