Step 2: Attach the LiteShow adapter to your Projector
1Make sure that the projector you are going to attach LiteShow to is powered off.
2Attach the LiteShow adapter to the M1-D or M1-DA connector on the projector. Secure it to the projector with the
two thumbscrews. Be careful to not overtighten them.
3Power on the projector. Look for the LiteShow Splash Screen (shown on the next page) on the projected screen. The
LiteShow Splash Screen is a small window that appears in the upper left corner of the projected screen. If you can
see it, then you know that the projector is powered on, the M1-D or M1-DA connector is the active source, and that
a LiteShow adapter is connected to it.
