• 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 witho 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 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 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.

ut obstructions to intake or exhaust vents. Do not place the

safety (earth) ground terminal. A surge-protected power strip is

correctly. Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local

aligned

• Refer all service to qualified service personnel. Servicing your own projector can be dange

rous 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 v

ents. Please keep people, food, and drinks at least 3’ (1m) away from all projector vents. For ceiling applications, keep people, food and drinks out of the "keep out" area under and around the projector, as indicated by the illustration.

Follow these instructions to help ensure image quality and lamp life over the life of

• Position the projector on a flat surface at a right angle to the screen. The

projector must be at least 39.4” (1.0m) from the projection screen.

• If you are installing the projector on the ceiling, we strongly recommend using

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 green. If the Power Saving Mode feature is on, the Power LED is steady amber. By default, this feature is off. You can change that shipped with the projector.

Optional computer connections

To get sound from the projector, connect an audio cable (optional cable, not included) to your computer and to the Audio 1/Audio 2 connector on the projector. You may also need an adapter.

If you are using a desktop computer and want to screen as well as on the projection screen, connect to the desktop’s computer cable to Computer 1 and the desktop’s monitor cable to the Monitor Out connector on the projector.

Adjust the Contrast or Brightness in the Basic Menu. See page 24 for help with these menu adjustments.

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 24 for more information.

LightCast Reader

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 1 or Computer 2 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 1 or Computer 2 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.

Plug a USB thumb drive into one of the USB A connectors. See LightCast Reader on page 28.

HDMI connection

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.

Audio

For audio, connect a 3.5mm stereo cable to the Audio 1/Audio 2 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.)

Shutting down the projector

Auto Off Time

The projector also has an Auto Off Time feature that automatically turns the projector off after no active sources are detected and no user interaction with the projector is performed for 20 minutes. By default, this feature is off. You can change the length of time, see page 27.
