Important Operating Considerations for Safety

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

• Follow all warnings and cautions in this manual and on the projector.

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

axis.

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

vents.

• Do not block ventilation openings. Locate the projector in a well-ventilated

area without obstructions to intake or exhaust vents. Do not place the
projector on a tablecloth or other soft covering that may block the vents.

• Do not place the projector in direct sunlight, humid, greasy or dusty places or

in places where the projector may come into contact with smoke or steam.

• Do not touch or block the projector lens with any objects as this can damage

the

ector lens. Scratches, gouges and other lens damage are not covered

proj

by the product warranty.

• Do not look directly into the lens while the projector is being used.

•

• Do not spill liquid on the projector. Spilled liquid may damage the projector.

• Use the power cord provided. Connect the power cord to a receptacle with

• Do not overload wall outlets.

• When disconnecting the power cord, hold the plug, not the cord.

• Wash hands after handling the cables supplied with this product.

• The projector remote control uses batteries. Make sure the batteries’

eye injury before opening lamp door.

• Refer all service to qualified service personnel. Servicing your own projector
can be dangerous to you and will void the warranty.

• Only use replacement parts specified by InFocus. Unauthorized substitutions
may result in fire, electrical shock, or injury, and may void the warranty

• Only genuine InFocus lamps are tested for use in this projector. Use of non
InFocus lamps may cause electrical shock and fire, and may void the projector
warranty.

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

• The projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp. The lamp may fail
prematurely, or it may rupture with a popping sound if jolted, scratched, or
handled while hot. The risk of lamp failure or rupture also increases as the
lamp age increases; please replace the lamp when you see the “Replace Lamp”
message.

• In the unlikely event of a lamp rupture, particles may exit through the
projector vents. Keep people, food, and drinks out of the "keep out" area
under and around the projector, as indicated by the "X" areas below.

Positioning the projector

To determine where to position the projector, consider the size and shape of your
screen, the location of your power outlets, and the distance between the
projector and the rest of your equipment. Here are some general guidelines:

• Position the projector on a flat surface at a right angle to the screen. IN122
and IN124 must be at least 45.3” (1.2m) from the projection screen, and
IN126 must be at least 55.4” (1.4m) from the projection screen.

• If you are installing the projector on the ceiling, we strongly recommend using
InFocus approved ceiling mounts for proper fitting, ventilation and installation.
Refer to the installation guide that comes with the InFocus Ceiling Mount Kit
(p/n PRJ-MNT-UNIV) for more information. The warranty does not cover
any damage caused by use of non-approved ceiling mount kits or by installing
in an improper location. To turn the image upside down, see “Ceiling mount”
on page 27. We recommend using an InFocus authorized ceiling mount.

• Position the projector the desired distance from the screen. The distance
from the lens of the projector to the screen and the video format determine
the size of the projected image.

• The image offset for IN122/IN124 is 115% +/-5%. This means that if you have
an image 60 inches (1.5 meters) tall from a table-mounted projector, the
bottom of the image will be 9 inches (22.9 cm) above the centerline of the
lens. The image offset for IN126 is 113% +/-5%. This means that if you have
an image 60 inches (1.5 meters) tall from a table-mounted projector, the
bottom of the image will be 7.8 inches (19.8 cm) above the centerline of the
lens.

Connecting a computer source

VGA connection

Connect one end of the provided computer cable to the Computer in 1/Computer in 2
connector on the projector and the other to the VGA connector on your computer. If you
are using a desktop computer, you will need to disconnect the monitor cable from the
computer’s video port first.

HDMI connection

HDMI is a standard, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI provides an
interface between sources, such as set-top boxes, DVD players, and receivers and your
projector. Plug an HDMI cable into the video-out connector on the video device and into the
HDMI connector on the projector.

Connecting power

Connect the black power cord to the Power connector on the rear of the projector and to
your electrical outlet. If the Power Saving Mode feature is off, the Power LED on the Status
Indicator Panel (page 11) blinks blue. If the Power Saving Mode feature is on, the Power LED
is steady blue. By default, this feature is off. You can change the setting, see
Always use the power cord that shipped with the projector.
