Usage Guidelines

Do not look directly into the projection lens when the projector is turned on. The bright light may harm your eyes.

Do not block the grills on the projector. Restricting the air flow can cause it to overheat and turn off. If this happens, you must wait a minute before attempting to turn it back on.

Handle the projector as you would any product with glass components. Be especially careful not to drop it.

Avoid leaving the projector in direct sunlight or extreme cold for extended periods of time. If this happens, allow it to reach room temperature before use.

Transport the projector in a vendor-approved hard or soft case. Part numbers for these cases are listed on page 41.

Warranty

This product is backed by a limited two-year warranty. The details of the warranty are printed at the back of this manual. An extended warranty plan may be purchased from your InFocus dealer, any time during the original two year warranty period. Refer to page 41 for the part number.

SETTING UP THE PROJECTOR

1Place the projector on a flat surface.

The projector must be within 6 feet (1.8 m) of your power source and your computer.

If you want to project from behind a translucent screen, set up the projector behind your screen. See “Rear” on page 25 to reverse the image.

If you are installing the projector on the ceiling, refer to the installation guide that comes with the Ceiling Mount Kit for more information. To turn the image upside down, see “Ceiling” on page 25. The Ceiling Mount Kit is sold separately, see “Optional Accessories” on page 41.

2Position the projector the desired distance from the screen.

If the image is too big or too small, use the zoom ring to adjust the size or move the projector forward or backward. Figure 4 shows three projected image sizes. For more information about image size, see “Projected Image Size” on page 48.

NOTE: The USB mouse is supported for use with Windows 98 or higher only.

NOTE: You do not need to restart your computer after connecting a USB mouse to use it (it is hotpluggable). You must restart your computer after plugging in a PS-2 mouse.

Do you want to control the computer’s mouse from the projector’s remote?

If your computer has a PS/2 connector, use the PS/2 mouse cable.

1Plug the green end of the PS/2 mouse cable into the mouse connector on your computer.

2Plug the black end of the PS/2 mouse cable into the “PS2/RS-232” connector on the projector.

If your computer has a USB connector and is running Windows 98, use the USB mouse cable.

1Plug the flat end of the USB mouse cable into the mouse connector on your computer.

2Plug the square end of the USB mouse cable into the “USB” connector on the projector.

You must have the appropriate USB drivers installed on your computer to use the USB feature. Windows 98 ships with the appropriate drivers.

Now you’re ready to power up the projector and your computer. Skip to “Powering up the Projector” on page 13.

Connecting a Video Player

If your video device (VCR, DVD player, video camera) uses a round, one-prong composite video connector, use the composite audio/video (A/V) cable provided. The end with 2 connectors attaches to the projector, the other end attaches to the video device.

If your video device uses a round, four-prong S-video connector, use an S-video cable. S-video generates a higher quality image.

1Plug the A/V cable’s round yellow connector into the “videoout” connector on your video device (Figure 7). This connector may be labeled “To Monitor.”

If you’re using an S-video cable, connect the round black connector to the “S-video out” connector on the video device.

2Plug the other yellow connector into the “Video” connector on the projector.

If you’re using S-video, plug the other end of the cable into the “S-Video” connector on the projector.
