The CableWizard3 (referred to as "CableWizard" in this manual for brevity) simplifies the connection process by providing a central hub for all the connections between the projector and your computer. The connectors on the CableWizard are labeled with icons. The CableWizard also has an LED that lights solid green when the projector is on and CableWizard is functioning properly. A slowly blinking LED indicates CableWizard is waiting to initialize with the projector; a rapidly blinking LED indicates a problem with CableWizard. Connect the end of the CableWizard cable to the connector on the projector's connector panel (Figure 4). NOTE: The LP750 is optimized for use with newer CableWizards (2 and 3). If you have a CableWizard 1from older models of In Focus projectors, we do not recommend using it as image quality is reduced. The label on the bottom reads CableWizard or CableWizard II or CableWizard3.
