Usage Guidelines

•

Do not look directly into the projection lens when the lamp 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 43.

connector, you’ll need only the audio cable, audio adapter,
and composite video cable that shipped with the projector.

•

If your video player uses a round, four-prong S-video con­nector, you’ll need an S-video cable in addition to the audio
cable and audio adapter. The S-video cable is sold sepa­rately. (See “Optional Accessories” on page 43.)

Plug the composite video cable’s yellow connector into the

computer’s documentation to

determine the correct order.

13

Setting up the Projector

Turning Off the Projector

If you want to turn off the projector for a short period of time,
press the

standby

button on the keypad or remote. This blanks the
screen for fifteen minutes, but keeps the projector running. (You
can change the amount of time the projector stays in standby
mode; see “Standby Time” on page 27 for details.) After 15 min­utes, the lamp goes out (the projector keeps running). To exit
standby mode, press the

standby

button again. (It may take sev­eral seconds for the projection lamp to reach full power and
project the image again.)

To completely power off the projector, press the Power button. If

you want to turn the lamp back on immediately, you must allow
about a minute for the lamp to cool. The lamp won’t light if it’s
too hot.

14

USING THE PROJECTOR

This section describes how to use and make adjustments to the
projector. It also provides a reference to the keypad and remote
buttons and the options available from the on-screen menus.

Basic Image Adjustment

Make sure you have powered up your equipment in the right

1

order (page 13).

If the image doesn’t display completely, zoom the image

2

(page 17), adjust the height of the projector (page 17) or center
the image by adjusting its horizontal or vertical position
(page 26). Be sure the projector is at a 90 degree angle to the
screen.

If the image is out of focus, rotate the focus lens (page 17).

3

If the image appears to shimmer or if it has blurry vertical

4

bars after you have adjusted the focus, turn Auto Image
(page 24) off and then back on to reset the automatic sync and
tracking. If that doesn’t clear up the image, turn Auto Image
off and adjust the sync (page 25) and/or the tracking
(page 25) manually.

If the colors don’t look right, adjust the brightness (page 21).

5

Using the Remote Control

To control the computer’s mouse from the projector’s remote,
you must connect the USB mouse connector on the computer
cable to the computer. See page 10 for details.

The projector ships with a remote that has four function buttons,
a disk mouse and two mouse buttons, one on the top of the
remote and one on the bottom.

Point the remote control at the projection screen or at the front of
the projector (not at the computer). The range for optimum oper­ation is about 25 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 25 feet. For best results, point the remote
directly at the projector.

page 18 for a description of the four function buttons.

®

If you are creating presentations in Microsoft

PowerPoint®, you
can use the remote’s mouse buttons to navigate through your
presentation while in Slide Show mode. To configure PowerPoint
for this, choose Options from the Tools menu, click the View Tab,
de-select the “Popup Menu on Right Mouse Click” option in the
Slide Show section, then click OK. Then, when you’re in Power­Point’s Slide Show mode, a left click advances to the next slide
and a right click returns to the previous slide (other PowerPoint
modes are not affected).

Video Standard

When Video standard is set to Auto, the projector attempts to
pick the video standard (NTSC, NTSC 4.43, PAL, PAL-M, PAL-N,
PAL-60, or SECAM) automatically based on the input signal it
receives. (The video standard options may vary depending on
your region of the world.) If the projector is unable to detect the
correct standard, the colors might not look right or the image
might appear “torn.” If this happens, manually select a standard
by clicking the left or right mouse button and cycling through the
standards.

Using Video Mirroring with a PowerBook Computer

When you turn video mirroring (called SimulScan in newer Pow­erBooks—see below) 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:

Open the Monitors control panel; click on Monitor 2.

1

Set the number of colors you want.

2

Open the Control Strip, then click on the monitor icon.

3

Select “Turn Video Mirroring On.”

4

Now you can turn video mirroring on and off from the Control
Strip without having to open the Monitors control panel again.

When using video mirroring and high color graphics such as
slide shows, the projected image occasionally might turn black
and white. If this happens, perform the following steps:

Turn off video mirroring.

1

Open the Monitors control panel.

2

Move the white menu bar to Monitor 2 to set the projector as

3

the primary monitor.

Restart the PowerBook.

4

Using SimulScan

Some newer PowerBooks display images on an external monitor
or projector differently than previous ones. When using
SimulScan, the projector displays the same information that
appears on your PowerBook

To select SimulScan:

Open the Control Panel, then double-click Monitors and

1

Sound.

In the Resolution list, choose the SimulScan mode, then click

2

OK.

If this changes your display settings, a dialog box appears.

3

Click OK to confirm the change.

LIMITED WARRANTY

InFocus-Branded Products

InFocus Corporation (“InFocus”) warrants that the InFocus-branded product (“Product”) purchased from
InFocus or an InFocus reseller will conform to the manufacturers specifications and be free from defects in
material or workmanship for the Warranty period provided below. InFocus does not warrant that the Prod­uct will meet the specific requirements of the end-user customer. The Warranty period commences on the
date of purchase by the end-user customer. Said Limited Warranty shall apply only to the end-user purchaser
(first person or entity that purchases a new Product for personal or business use and not for the purpose of
distribution or resale). Any person exercising a claim under this Limited Warranty must establish to the sat­isfaction of InFocus both the date of purchase and that the Product was purchased new. The sales receipt,
showing the date of purchase of the Product is the proof of the date of purchase.

From the date of such purchase, said Limited Warranty shall continue for a period of two (2) years for Projec­tor Products, for one (1) year for Accessory Products, and for ninety (90) days or 500 hours, whichever comes
first, for Lamp Products (whether purchased in projectors or separately as replacements). During the War­ranty period for the Product, Replacement lamps, which are purchased at the time of projector purchase, will
have a 90-day or 500 hour Warranty, whichever comes first, from the date the spare lamp is put into service.

At the sole option of InFocus, the Product will either be repaired or replaced. All exchanged parts and Prod­ucts replaced under this Warranty will become property of InFocus. InFocus’ sole obligation is to supply (or
pay for) all labor necessary to repair the Product found to be defective within the Warranty period and to
repair or replace defective parts with new parts or, at the option of InFocus, serviceable used parts that are
equivalent or superior to new parts performance.

During the Warranty period, to exercise this Limited Warranty, the purchaser must first contact either InFo­cus, a service facility authorized by InFocus or the place of original purchase. For Warranty service, the pur­chaser will be advised to return or deliver the defective Product freight and all fees prepaid, to an InFocus
Service Center or to a service facility authorized by InFocus. When returning Product to InFocus, a Return
Material Authorization Number (RMA #) is required and must be clearly displayed on the outside of the
shipping carton containing the Product. The Product is to be fully insured and packed in either its original
carton or a similar package affording an equal degree of protection. InFocus or the service facility authorized
by InFocus will return the repaired/replaced Product freight prepaid to the purchaser. Products returned for
Warranty service must be accompanied by a written letter that: i.) explains the problem; ii) provides proof of
date of purchase; iii) provides the dealer’s name; and iv.) provides the model and serial number of the Prod­uct. For Product purchased outside the United States, proof of legal importation must accompany the war­ranty repair Product, otherwise the Product must be returned to the place of original purchase, to the
manufacturer (Purchaser must bear all tax, duty and freight), or the Purchaser must bear charges for the war­ranty repair.

No repair or replacement of Product or part thereof shall extend the Warranty period as to the entire Product.
Warranty on the repaired part shall only be effective for a period of ninety (90) days following the repair or
replacement of that part or the remaining period of the Product Warranty whichever is greater.

WARRANTY LIMITATION AND EXCLUSION

This Limited Warranty extends only to Products purchased from InFocus or an InFocus authorized reseller.
InFocus shall have no further obligation under the foregoing Limited Warranty if the Product has been dam­aged due to abuse, misuse, neglect, accident, unusual physical or electrical stress, unauthorized modifica­tions, tampering, alterations, or service other than by InFocus or its authorized agents, causes other than from
ordinary use or failure to properly use the Product in the application for which said Product is intended.

Limited Warranty excludes Product or accessory cleaning repair or replacement of plastics due to cosmetic
damage and damage as a result of normal wear. Product repair outside of the terms of the Limited Warranty
will be on a time and materials basis. Prolonged Product “demonstration” causes unusual Product wear and
is not considered normal use under the terms of this Limited Warranty.

Accessory Warranty covers the accessory item only and excludes normal wear. Lamp Product Warranty
excludes expected lamp life degradation.

Remanufactured Products and Software Products are exempt from the foregoing Limited Warranty. Please
refer to the appropriate Remanufactured Product Limited Warranty or Software Product Limited Warranty
for applicable Warranty information.

OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE DIS­CLAIMED. THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES THAT EXTEND BEYOND THE FACE HEREOF AND THE
FOREGOING WARRANTY SHALL NOT BE EXTENDED, ALTERED OR VARIED EXCEPT BY WRITTEN
INSTRUMENT SIGNED BY INFOCUS. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG
AN IMPLIED WARRANTY MAY LAST, SO SUCH LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

IT IS UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT INFOCUS’ LIABILITY WHETHER IN CONTRACT, IN TORT,
UNDER ANY WARRANTY, IN NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE RETURN OF
THE AMOUNT OF THE PURCHASE PRICE PAID BY PURCHASER AND UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES
SHALL INFOCUS BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAM­AGES OR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUES OR LOST SAVINGS. THE PRICE STATED FOR THE PROD­UCT IS A CONSIDERATION IN LIMITING INFOCUS’ LIABILITY. NO ACTION, REGARDLESS OF FORM,

GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS, WHICH VARY
FROM STATE TO STATE.
