Important Operating Considerations for Safety

• Place the projector in a horizontal position no greater than 15 degrees
off axis.

• Locate the projector in a well-ventilated area without any obstructions
to intake or exhaust vents. Do not place the projector on a tablecloth or
other soft covering that may block the vents.

• Locate the projector at least 4' (1.2 m) away from any heating or cooling
vents.

• Use only the power cord provided. A surge-protected power strip is
recommended.

• Refer to this guide for proper startup and shutdown procedures.

• Warn ing: Hg – Lamp contains mercury. Manage in accordance
with local disposal laws. See www.lamprecycle.org.

• In the unlikely event of a lamp rupture, particles may exit through the
projector side vents. When the projector is turned on, keep people,
food, and drinks out of the "keep out" area around the projector, as
indicated by the "X" area below.

Follow these instructions to help ensure image quality and lamp life over
the life of the projector. Failure to follow these instructions may affect the
warranty. For complete details of the warranty, see the Warranty booklet.

Shutting down the projector

The projector automatically blanks the screen after no active source is
detected for 30 minutes. This blank screen helps preserve the life of the pro­jector. The image returns when an active source is detected or a remote or
keypad button is pressed.

Screen Save

You can make the blank screen appear after five minutes by turning on
Screen Save in the Settings>System menu. See page 24. There are six time
options for the Screen Save feature. They range from five minutes to 30 min­utes with five minute intervals.

Power Save

The projector also has a Power Save feature that automatically turns the
lamp off after no signal is detected for 20 minutes. After 10 additional min
utes with no signal, the projector powers down. If an active signal is
received before the projector powers down, the image is displayed. You
must press the Power button to display an image after 30 minutes have
passed. When Power Save is enabled, Screen Save is disabled. See

Turning off the projector

To turn off the projector, press the Powe r button and verify that you want to
turn the projector off by pressing the Power button again within 3 seconds.
You can cancel the shutdown by not pressing the Power button a second
time. The lamp turns off and the LED blinks amber for 1 minute while the
fans continue to run to cool the lamp. When the lamp has cooled, the LED
lights amber and the fans stop. Unplug the power cable to completely
power off the projector.

page 24.

Troubleshooting your setup

If your image appears correctly on the screen, skip to the next section
(

page 17). If it does not, troubleshoot the setup.

LEDs

The Lamp LED on top of the projector (page 16) will alert you to certain
problems.

A solid red Lamp LED means it is time to change the lamp. See page 27.

A blinking red Lamp LED means different things based on the number of
“blinks”. After blinking 1-5 times, the light turns off for 2 seconds, then the
blinking repeats.

• 1 blink, lamp won’t turn on: Turn the projector off for at least one
minute, then turn it on again. If the blinking continues, the lamp may
need to be replaced.

• 2 blinks: Remaining lamp life is low. Replace the lamp, see page 27.

• 3 or 4 blinks: Unexpected shut down (3 blinks) or fan failure (4

-

blinks). Turn the projector off for at least one minute, then turn it on
again. If the blinking continues, the projector may require service; go
to www.infocus.com/support.

• 5 blinks: The projector is overheating. Turn the projector off and
remove anything that may be blocking its air vents. Leave the projec­tor off for at least one minute to let it cool before turning it on again.
Important: Continuous operation at high temperature may reduce the
lifetime of the lamp and/or projector.

The other LED on top of the projector indicates the normal operating state
of the projector.

• A solid green LED means the projector is on.

• A blinking green LED means the lamp is turning on. A green “blip”
means the projector is in Screen Save or Power Save mode.

• A blinking amber LED means the lamp is either warming up or cool­ing down to enter standby mode; a solid amber LED means the pro­jector is in standby mode.

Maintenance

Cleaning the lens

1 Apply a non-abrasive camera lens cleaner to a soft, dry cloth.

Avoid using an excessive amount of cleaner, and don’t apply the
cleaner directly to the lens. Abrasive cleaners, solvents or other harsh
chemicals might scratch the lens.

2 Lightly wipe the cleaning cloth over the lens in a circular motion. If you

don’t intend to use the projector immediately, replace the lens cap.

Cleaning the lamp filter screens

In dirty or dusty environments, the dust filter screens on and
around the lamp module can become clogged, causing high temper
atures inside the lamp module. These high temperatures can impact

lamp performance and operating life. Routine maintenance to remove

dust and dirt from the screens lowers the lamp operating tempera

the lamp has been in use. Twenty hours before the specified end of the
lamp’s life, the message “Replace lamp” briefly appears on the screen at
each startup. When the expected lamp life has been reached, the Lamp indi
cator icon lights red.
