Boxlight 12SF User Manual

NOTE: With some computers,

the order in which you power up

the equipment is very important.

Most computers should be turned

on last, after all other peripherals

have been turned on. Refer to your

computer’s documentation to

determine the correct order.

The computer image should display on the projection screen.
If it doesn’t, press the

source

button on the keypad or the

data

button on the remote to display your computer’s image. Make
sure your laptop’s external video port is activated; see your
computer’s user guide for details.

•

If necessary, make adjustments to the image using the pro-
jector’s on-screen menus. To open the menus, press the

menu/select

button on the keypad or remote, then select the

Display or Image sub-menu. For more information about
the menus, see page 33. You may need to adjust the screen
aspect (page 35) or the degamma (page 44).

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 page 45 for details.) After 15 minutes, the lamp goes
out. To exit standby mode, press the

standby

button again. (It may

take several seconds for the projection lamp to reach full power
and project the image again.) See page 32 for details on standby
mode.

NOTE: Lamp life will be extended

if you turn the power off, then wait

1 minute while the lamp cools

before unplugging the projector.

The Lamp LED will light green

when the lamp has cooled.

To turn off the projector, press the

power

button. The lamp turns

off and the LED blinks amber for a minute while the fans con-
tinue to run to cool the lamp. When the lamp has cooled, the LED
lights green and the fans stop. Unplug the power cord to com-
pletely power off the projector.
