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.

•Warning: 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.

Connecting a computer

Required computer connections

Connect the black end of the computer cable to the Computer connector on the projector. Connect the blue end to the video port on your computer. If you are using a desktop computer, you first need to disconnect the monitor cable from the computer’s video port.

Some Macintosh® computers do not have a standard VESA-out video port. If the supplied computer cable will not connect to your computer, purchase the appropriate adapter from your Apple® reseller.

Connect the black power cable to the connector on the back of the projector and to your electrical outlet.

The LED turns amber.

NOTE: Always use the power cable that shipped with the projector.

Optional computer connections

To advance slides in a PowerPoint™ presentation using the up and down arrow buttons on the remote, plug the USB connector on the computer cable into the USB mouse connector on your computer.

To have sound with your presentation, connect an audio cable (sold separately) to your computer and to the Audio In connector on the projector.

Adjusting the image

Adjust the height of the projector, if necessary, by pressing the release button to extend the elevator foot.

Rotate the leveling foot (located at the bottom back left corner), if necessary.

Position the projector the desired distance from the screen, so that the lens is perpendicular to the screen.

See page 29 for a table listing screen sizes and distances.

Adjust the zoom or focus rings by rotating them until the desired image size and focus are produced.

If the image is not square, adjust the vertical digital keystone by using the buttons on the keypad. Press the upper Keystone button to reduce the upper part of the image, and press the lower Keystone button to reduce the lower part.

You can also adjust the keystone via the menus. See page 20.

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 minutes 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 page 24.

Turning off the projector

To turn off the projector, press the Power 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.

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.
