• 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

the projector lens. Use the lens cap when the projector is not in use and during transport. 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.

as this can damage

• 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.

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 Booklet.

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. The projector must be at least 4.9 feet (1.5m) from the projection screen.

of y

• Position the projector within 10 feet (3m) feet (1.8m) of your video device (unless you purchase extension cables). To ensure adequate cable access, do not place the projector within 6 inches (.15m) of a wall or other object.

• 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 SP-CEIL-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 locationTo turn the image upside down, see “Ceiling mount” on page 31. 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, the zoom setting, and the video format determine the size of the projected image.

• The image exits the projector at a given angle. IN150

For Aspect Ratio, keep in mind that DVD players mu

What is Aspect Ratio?

4:3 screen 16:9 screen

4:3 mode

16:9 mode

Native mode (NTSC only)

Aspect ratio is the ratio of the image width to image height. Standard TV screens and older laptops are 4:3; HDTV and most DVDs are 16:9; and widescreen computers are 16:10. If you are projecting onto a screen, the size/shape of the screen will influence the aspect ratio you decide to use. If you are projecting onto a blank wall, there are no screen size restrictions. What you plan to project will also help you choose between 4:3, 16:9 or 16:10. Many TV shows are 4:3, while most movies are 16:9.

If you have a 16:9 screen then you should select an widescreen movies or HDTV, and Native for 4:3 content. If you have a 4:3 screen you should still use 16:9 for widescreen movies or HDTV, but you also have the option of using either 4:3 (to fill the screen) or Native (for direct pixel mapping) for 4:3 content. Force Wide can also be enabled to automatically resize less common aspect ratios to 16:10.
