Information
  1. Setup the projector
    a. Insert the Toshiba Wireless PC card that shipped with the projector into the PC card slot located under the smoke-colored plastic cover at the left rear of the projector. The PC card should be inserted into the slot with the white MAC address label facing away from you. To remove the plastic cover, press in slightly on the ribbed area on the cover and slide it to the left. Replace the smoke-colored plastic cover by sliding it back in place on the left rear of the projector.
    b. Plug the AC power cord in the projector and an available wall outlet (100-240VAC 50/60Hz)
    c. Remove the lens cover.
    d. Power on the projector by depressing and releasing the On/Standby button on the top of the projector or the remote control. The lamp takes 17-20 seconds to reach full luminance, so please be patient. Replace the smoke-colored plastic cover by sliding it back in place on the left rear of the projector.
    e. Depress and release the Input button on top of the projector or remote to bring up the Input selection menu, use the up/down navigation buttons on top of the projector to highlight PC Card from the list, and press the Menu button on top of the projector or remote control to make the selection. PCCard is displayed in the upper left corner of the projected image briefly. Next an image of a wireless PC card will be shown indicating the MAC address of the PC card, the Projector name (if present) and a status of "Not connected". This is normal at this time.
