order (page21).
2 If the image doesn’t display completely, adjust the height of
the projector (page 26) or center the image by adjusting its horizontal or vertical position (page 38).
3 If the image is out of focus, rotate the lens to focus it (pag e 26).
4 If the image appears to shimmer or if it has blurry v ertical
bars after you hav e adjus ted the focus, turn Auto Image (page 37) off and t hen bac k on to reset the automat ic sync and tracking. If that doesn’t clear up the image, adjus t the sync (page 37) and/or the tracking (page38) manually.
5 If the colors don’t look right, adjust the brightness (page 29). Using the Remote Control
Point the remote control at th e proje ction screen or at the f ront or rear of th e projector. The range for optimum operation is about 40 feet. If you point the remote at the projection screen, the dis­tance to the screen and back to the projector must be less than or equal to 40 feet. For best results, point the remote directly at the front or the rear of the projector.
NOTE: If you can’t aim the remote control at the projector so that its signal is received example, when using rear projec-
connect the remote
tion directly to the projector with the remote control cable (page 21).

5 Slide the battery cover back on the remote . Replacing the Fuse
A power line surge or spike can blow the power supply fuse, causing the projector to sto p w orking. If th is happens, you’ll need to replace the fuse.
The projector ships with a 6.3 amp fuse. The correct replacement fu se depen ds on the power line voltage in the country where you are operating the projector.
If your line voltage is 115V to 240V, use a T6.3AH, 250V,
5x20mm fuse.
If your line voltage is 100V to 115V (as in Japan), use a T8AH,
250V, 5x20mm fuse. You can order the fuse from your In Focus dealer; the part number is listed on page58.
CAUTION: Use only the speci­fied power supply fuse. Using a dif­ferent fuse may damage the projector.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If you’re experiencing trouble with the projector, follow these steps to make sure everything is properly connected before you call Technical Support for assistance.
1 C heck cable connections. Verify that all computer, CableWiz-
ard and power cables are properly connected.
2 Verify that all power is switched on. 3 Verify tha t the projector has not been switched off with the
standby button on the remote or keypad .
4 If the projector still doesn’t d i splay an image, restart the com-
puter.
5 If the problem still exists, unplug the projector from the com-
puter and check the computer monitor’s display. The maxi­mum resolution that t he 210 can display is 800x600 pixels, preferably 640x480; the maximum resolutio n that the 220 can display is 1024x768 pixels, preferably 800x600. The problem might be with the gr aphics controller in your computer rather than w i th the projector. When you reconnect the projector, remember to turn the computer and monitor off before you power up the projector. Power the equipment back up in this order: projector, monitor, computer.
NOTE: Macintosh computers require a specific power -up sequence: the projector must be turned on before you turn on the computer.
6 If you’re using a laptop computer and its monitor is not dis-
playing your presentation, make sure you have re-activated the computer’s monitor. Most laptop computers de-activate their own monitor when a second display device, such as the projector, is connected. Refer to page 59 for more information.
7 If the problem still exists, read through the problems and
solutions in this chapter.
If you call Technical Support for assistance:
Find out what kind of graphics controller card is installed in
your computer. This is th e circuit board in the computer to which t he projec tor i s conn ect ed. M ost PCs use a VGA graphics controller.

Troubleshooting
Solutions to Common Problems
Problem: Nothing on projection screen
Make sure that the power cord is properly connec ted to a func-
tional AC electrical outlet. Make sure that the power cord is also properly connected to the projector.
If the projector is plugged into a power strip, make sure the
power strip is turned on.
Make sure you have removed the lens cap on the projection
lens at the front of the projector.
Make sure the proje ctor is swit che d on.
Check the projector’s lamp to ensure that it is securely con-
nected in the lamp module. See “Replacing the Proje ction Lamp” on page 43.
Check the fuse. If it has blown, replace it. See “Replacing the
Fuse” on page45.
Make sure that the CableWizard and the cables do not have
any bent pins. Check the power cord for bent pins also.
50
Problem: Color or VGA text not being projected
You might need to adjust the brightness up or down until the
text is visible. Refer to “Brightness” on page 29 for more infor­mation.
Verify that the appropriate input source is sele cted. See “Com-
puter” on page29 or “Video” on page 31.
Problem: The screen resolution is not right
Make sure the computer’s graphics card is set for a resolution
of no greater than 800x600 for the 210, 1024x768 for the 220.
Problem: Image isn’t centered on the screen
Reposition th e image. Refer to “Horiz. Position” on page 38
and “Vert. Position” on page 38.
If you’re using an extension cable between the CableWizard
and the projector, make sure it’s In Focus-approved.
Problem: Only the start-up screen displays
Verify that th e cables are connec ted corre ctly. Check to see that
the CableWizard computer cable is correctly connected to the monitor connector on the computer (this is the connector where your monitor cable usually goes.) See page6 through page 15 for connection procedures.
Verify that the proper input source is connected. See “Com-
puter” on page29 or “Video” on page 31.
You might need to turn everything off and power up the
equipment again. Make sure you power up in this order: pro­jector, computer monitor, computer. It is especially important that you follo w this sequence for Macintosh computers.
Make sure your computer’s graphics board is installed and
configured correctly. If you’re using Windows 3.x:
1 In the Windows Program Manager, double-click the Win-
dows Setup icon in the Main program group.
2 Verify that the Display setting is 800x600 or less for the
210, 1024x768 or less for the 220.

Using Video Mirroring with a PowerBook Computer
When you turn video mirroring on, the projector displays the same information that appears on your PowerBook’s built-in screen. When video mirroring is off, the projector acts like a sepa­rate display.
To turn on video mirroring for the first time:
1 Open the Monitors control panel; click on Monitor 2. 2 Se t the number of colors you want. 3 Open the Control Strip; click on the monitor icon. 4 Select “Turn Video Mirroring On.”
Now you can turn video mirroring on and off from the Control Strip without having to open th e Monitors control panel again.
When using video mirroring and high color graphics such as slide shows, the projected image occasionally might turn black and wh i te. If this happens, perform the following steps:
1 Turn off video mirroring. 2 Open the Monitors control panel. 3 Move the white m enu bar to Monitor 2 to set the projector as
the primary monitor.
4 Restart the PowerBook.
