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 InFocus-approved ceiling mounts.
• Use only the power cord provided. A surge-protected power strip is
recommended.
• Refer to this manual for proper startup and shutdown procedures.
• In the unlikely event of the lamp rupturing, discard any edible items
placed in the surrounding area and thoroughly clean the area along all
sides of the projector. Wash hands after cleaning the area and handling
the ruptured lamp. This product has a lamp which contains a very
small amount of mercury. Dispose of it as required by local, state or federal ordinances and regulations. For more information see
www.eiae.org
.
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 section at
the end of this user's guide.

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. The Interactive Display on the projector indicates
the shutdown status.
Screen Save
You can make the blank screen appear after five minutes by turning on
Screen Save in the Settings>System menu. See page 33. There are six time
options for the Screen Save feature. They range from five minutes to 30 minutes with five minute intervals.
Power Sa ve
The projector also has a Power Save feature that automatically turns the
lamp off after no signals are detected for 5 minutes. After 3 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 33.
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 Powe r button a second
time. The lamp turns off and the LED blinks green for 1 minute while the
fans continue to run to cool the lamp. When the lamp has cooled, the LED
lights green 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 25). If it does not, troubleshoot the setup. The Interactive Display and
LED on top of the projector indicate the state of the projector and can help
you troubleshoot.
The following tables show common problems. In some cases, more than one
possible solution is provided. Try the solutions in the order they are presented. When the problem is solved, you can skip the additional solutions.

A fan or lamp failure has occurred. Make
sure the vents aren’t blocked (see
page 22). Turn off the projector and wait
one minute, then turn the projector on
again. If the Replace Lamp message
appears, replace the lamp and reset the
lamp timer. Contact Technical Support if
the problem persists
.

power–turns the projector on (page 9) and off (page 14).
menu–opens the on-screen menus (page 29).
select–confirms choices made in the menus (page 29).
up/down arrows–navigates to and adjusts settings in the menus (page 29).
auto image–resets the projector to the source.
presets–cycles through the available preset settings (page 31).
keystone–vertical keystone adjusts the squareness of the image (page 12).
You can also adjust the horizontal keystone of the C180 via the menus. See
page 30.

Using the remote control
The remote uses two (2) provided AA batteries. They are easily installed by
sliding the cover off the remote’s back, aligning the + and - ends of the batteries, sliding them into place, and then replacing the cover.
To operate, point the remote at the projection screen or at the projector (not
at the computer). The range of optimum operation is about 30 feet (9.14m).
Previous and Next buttons allow you to navigate through your PowerPoint
presentation while in Slide Show mode. Connect the USB connector on the
computer cable to your computer to use these buttons. When you do this for
the first time, the Add New Hardware wizard may appear. See page 10 for
details on loading the correct USB drivers.
Press the remote’s Menu button to open the projector’s menu system. Use
the arrow buttons to navigate, and the Select button to select features and
adjust values in the menus. See page 29 for more info on the menus.
The remote also has a Power button to turn the projector on and off (see
page 16 for shutdown info), Vol u me and Mute buttons to control the sound,
and Video and Computer buttons to switch between sources.
Two presentation-specific features are also provided. Use the Blank button
to display a blank screen instead of the current slide (you can choose which
color is displayed, see page 34); use the Effect button to invoke a user-definable action, such as freeze or zoom (see page 35 to learn to program this button).
Troubleshooting the remote
• Make sure the batteries are installed in the proper orientation and are
not dead. The LED at the top of the remote lights when any button is
pressed when the battery power is adequate.
• Make sure you’re pointing the remote at the projector, not the computer, and are within the remote range of 30 feet (9.14m).
• If you are trying to advance PowerPoint slides, make sure the USB
cable is connected. If using a USB cable, make sure the correct drivers
are installed.

Using the audio
To play sound from the projector, connect your source to the Audio In con-
nector on the projector.
To adjust the volume, use the buttons on the keypad or remote.
To adjust the balance or turn off the projector’s chime, use the Audio menu
(see page 33).
To mute the sound, press the Mute button.
Troubleshooting audio
If there is no sound, check the following:
• Make sure the audio cable is connected.
• Make sure mute isn’t active.
• Make sure the volume is turned up enough. Press the Volu me button
on the keypad or remote.
• Adjust the audio source.
• If playing a video, make sure the playback has not been paused.
Connecting external speakers
The projector can be attached to external speakers that have their own
power source by plugging a speaker cable into the projector’s Audio Out
connector.

Optimizing computer images
After your computer is connected properly and the computer’s image is on
the screen, you can optimize the image using the onscreen menus. For general information on using the menus, see page 29.
• Adjust the Keystone, Contrast, or Brightness in the Picture menu.
• Change the Aspect Ratio. See page 30 for details.
• Adjust the Color Temperature in the Advanced menu.
• Adjust the Phase, Tracking, or Horizontal or Vertical position in the
Advanced menu.
• Once you have optimized the image for a particular source, you can
save the settings using Presets. This allows you to quickly recall these
settings later. See page 31.
• Adjust the Room Lighting. Select Dark if you are in a dark room, Light
if in a bright room (page 31).
Presentation features
Several features are provided to make giving presentation easier. The following is an overview, details are found in the menu section on page 29.
•The remote’s Effect button allows you to assign various features to the
key. The default effect is Freeze. You can select from Blank, Mute,
Aspect Ratio, Source, Auto Image, Freeze, Zoom, About, PiP, and Mask.
See page 35 for details.
• The Freeze effect allows you to freeze the displayed image. This is useful if you want to make changes on your computer without your audience seeing them.
•The Blank button on the remote allows you to display a blank screen
instead of the active source. See page 34.
• The PiP effect lets you show a video source in a smaller window on top
of the computer image. See page 35.
• The Startup Logo menu option lets you change the default startup
screen to a black, white, or blue screen. See page 34.
• Two menu options, Power Save and Screen Save, are provided to automatically shut down the projector after several minutes of inactivity or
display a blank screen. This helps preserve lamp life. See page 33.

Cleaning the dust filters
The dust filters catch dust and other particles in the air. If the filters become
clogged, the projector does not cool properly and may malfunction. In dirty
or dusty environments, they should be cleaned after every 100 hours of use.
Failure to do so may result in premature lamp failure.
There are two filters, one mesh filter attached to the dust filter door and one
metal grid filter adjacent to the lamp door.
1 Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable.
2 Wait 60 minutes to allow the projector to cool thoroughly.
WARN ING: To avoid burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 60
minutes before you clean or replace the dust filter.
3 Turn the projector upside down and remove the lamp door. See page 38.
4 Remove the dust filter door.
5 Clean the filter using a vacuum set on low power.
6 Replace the dust filter door and the lamp door.
7 Vacuum the non-removable metal grid filter adjacent to the lamp door.
