The desktop and a list of running applications are displayed.

performance of the computer you are using and the surrounding radio wave environment.

• The projector screen may have a few differences from the computer screen.
• It is not possible to transmit to a projector that is already receiving from another computer.
• If you selected application window in step

image may not be correctly displayed by the projector.

• The projector ID is the MAC address of the wireless LAN PC card inserted into the

projector.
