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 projector lens. Scratches, gouges and other lens damage are not covered by the product warranty.
• Do not look directly into the lens while the projector is being used.
• Do not drop the projector.
• 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 a
protective safety (earth) ground terminal. A surge-protected power strip is recommended.
• 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’ polarity
(+/-) is aligned correctly. Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local disposal laws.
• Use an InFocus approved ceiling mount kit for proper fitting, ventilation and
installation. The warranty does not cover any damage caused by use of non­approved ceiling mount kits or by installing in an improper location.
• When the projector is ceiling mounted, wear protective eyewear to prevent
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. IN122ST and IN124ST must be at least 24” (0.6m) from the projection screen, and IN126ST must be at least 32” (0.8m) 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 IN122ST/IN124ST is 110% +/-3%. This means that if you have an image 60 inches (1.52 meters) tall from a table-mounted projector, the bottom of the image will be 6 inches (15.2 cm) above the centerline of the lens. The image offset for IN126ST is 113% +/-3%. This means that if you have an image 60 inches (1.52 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 video device

You can connect video devices such as VCRs, DVD players, camcorders, digital cameras, video game consoles, HDTV receivers, and TV tuners to the projector. You can connect the audio directly to the projector to get sound from the built-in speaker, or you can bypass the projector’s audio system and connect the audio directly from your source to a stereo or home theater system.
You can connect the projector to most video devices that can output video. You cannot directly connect the coaxial cable that enters your house from a cable or satellite company, the signal must pass through a tuner first. Examples of tuners are digital cable boxes, VCRs, digital video recorders, and satellite TV boxes. Basically, any device that can change channels is considered a tuner.
Before connecting your projector, you should decide which aspect ratio you want to use. The projector’s Aspect Ratio setting is accessed through the Resize button on the remote or through the projector’s Basic Menu. See page 25 for more information.

Video device connections

No video cables are provided with the projector. You can order cables from InFocus or provide your own.
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.

Composite video connection

Plug the composite video cable’s yellow connector into the video-out connector on the video device. Plug the other yellow connector into the yellow
Video connector on the projector.

Component video connection

If your HD video device has component connectors, an optional Component to VGA adapter can be used. Plug the component cable into the video device. Plug the other end of the component cable into the adapter and plug the adapter into the
Computer connector.

S-video connection

Plug the S-video cable’s connector into the video-out connector on the video device. Plug the other connector into the S-
Video connector on the projector.
Audio
For audio, connect a 3.5mm stereo cable to the Audio In connector on the projector and to your source. If your source uses RCA audio connectors, a Y-cable or adapter may be used. (Note: A separate audio connection is not required for HDMI source inputs.)

VGA connection

If your video device has a 15-pin VGA output, plug one end of the included computer cable into the VGA connector on your video source. This connector may be labeled “To Monitor” on the video source. Plug the computer cable into either the Computer In 1 or Computer In 2 connector on the projector.

Turning off the projector
To turn the projector off, press the Power button on the remote or keypad. If the Instant Power On feature is enabled and it has been less than 1 minute since the projector was powered down, you can turn the projector back on immediately. If this feature is disabled, you must wait for the projector lamp to completely cool before restarting the projector. The lamp turns off and the Power LED blinks blue for 1 minute while the fans continue to run to cool the lamp. If the Power Saving Mode feature is on and when the lamp has cooled, the LED lights blue and the fans stop.

Maintenance

Cleaning the lens

1 Apply a non-abrasive camera lens cleaner to a soft, dry cloth.
• Projector must be off and the lens must be at room temperature.
• Avoid using an excessive amount of cleaner, and don’t apply the cleaner
directly to the lens. Abrasive cleaners, solvents or other harsh chemicals might scratch the lens.
2 Lightly wipe the cleaning cloth over the lens in a circular motion.
WAR NINGS:
• Turn the projector off and unplug power cord before cleaning any part of the projector.
• Do not touch or block the projector lens with any objects as this can damage the projector lens. Scratches, gouges and other lens damage are not covered by the product warranty.
• Do not open any cover on the projector, except the lamp cover.
• Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening and removing
covers may expose you to dangerous voltage and other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Using the security lock

The projector has a security lock for use with a Cable Lock System. Refer to the information that came with the lock for instructions on how to use it.

Replacing the projection lamp

The Lamp Hours timer in the Projector Info menu counts the number of hours the lamp has been in use. Twenty hours before the lamp life expires, the message “Replace lamp” displays on the screen at startup.
• NOTE: Be sure to use the InFocus lamp module designed for this projector. You can order new lamps from www.infocus.com (in select areas), your retailer or your dealer. 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. InFocus is not liable for the performance, safety or certification of any other lamps.
WARNINGS:
• 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.
• To avoid burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 60 minutes before you replace the lamp.
• Do not touch or block the projector lens with any objects as this can damage the projector lens. Scratches, gouges and other lens damage are not covered by the product warranty.
• Unplug the power cord before replacing the lamp.
• Do not drop the lamp module. The glass may shatter and cause injury.
• Do not touch the glass surface of the lamp module. Fingerprints can obscure projection sharpness and may cause the glass to shatter.
• Be extremely careful when removing the lamp housing. In the unlikely event that the lamp ruptures, small glass fragments may be generated. The lamp module is designed to contain most of these fragments, but use caution when removing it.
• Before replacing a ruptured lamp, clean the lamp compartment and dispose of cleaning materials. Wash hands after lamp replacement.
• When replacing the lamp while the projector is ceiling-mounted, wear protective eyewear to prevent eye injury.
Hg – Lamp contains mercury. Manage in accordance with local disposal laws. See www.lamprecycle.org.
