Problem Solving

If you’re using a Windows laptop:

■

Press the function key that lets you display on an external monitor. It’s often labeled with 
an icon such as 

, but it may also be labeled 

CRT/LCD

. You may have to hold down 

the 

Fn

 key while pressing it. Check your laptop’s manual or online help.

On most systems, the 

 key lets you toggle between the LCD screen and the 

projector, or display on both at the same time. Allow a few seconds for the projector to 
sync up after pressing it.

■

If the function key doesn’t let you display simultaneously on both screens, you might 
need to use the Display utility in the Windows Control Panel to make sure that both the 
LCD screen and external monitor port are enabled. From the Windows Control Panel, 
open the 

Display

 utility. In the Display Properties dialog box, click the 

Settings

 tab, 

then click 

Advanced

. The method for adjusting the setting varies from computer to 

computer; you may need to click a 

Monitor

 tab, then make sure the external Monitor 

port is set as your primary display or enabled. See your computer manual or online help 
for details.

If you’re using Mac OS X:

1. Select 

System Preferences

 from the Apple menu and click 

Displays

.

2. Click 

Detect Displays

.

3. To display the entire desktop on both your projector screen and LCD screen, click the 

Arrangement

 or 

Arrange

 tab. (If you don’t see this tab, make sure it isn’t hidden by 

another window.)

4. Click 

Mirror Displays

 in the lower corner of the screen. One of the monitor icons 

automatically moves on top of the other.
