Important Operating Considerations for Safety

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

• Locate the projector in a well-ventilated area without any obstructions to intake or exhaust vents. Do not place the projector on a tablecloth or other soft covering that may block the vents.

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

• Use only InFocus-approved ceiling mounts.

• Use only the power cord provided. A surge-protected power strip is recommended.

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

• This product has a lamp which contains a very small amount of mercury. Wash hands after cleaning the area and handling the ruptured lamp. Dispose of it as required by local, state or federal ordinances and regulations. For more information see www.eiae.org.

• In the unlikely event of a lamp rupture, particles may exit through the projector side vents. When the projector is turned on, keep people, food, and drinks out of the "keep out" area under and around the pro jector, 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. The projector must be at least 4.9 feet (1.5m) from the projection screen.

• Position the projector within 10 feet (3m) of your power source and within 6 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, refer to the installation guide that comes with the Ceiling Mount Kit for more information. To turn the image upside down, see “Ceiling” on 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. This image offset is

112.2%. This means that if you have an image 10’ high, the bottom of the image will be 1.12’ above the center of the lens.

Connecting a computer source

Required computer connections

Connect one end of the provided computer cable to the Computer In con- nector on the projector and the other to the VESA 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 (you can connect this monitor cable to the Monitor Out connector on the projector, see below).

Connect the black power cord to the Powe r connector on the back of the projector and to your electrical outlet.

NOTE: Always use the power cord 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 red and/or white Audio In connec tors on the projector. You may also need an adapter.

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

To advance slides in a PowerPoint presentation using an optional remote control, plug the USB cable into the USB mouse connector on your computer and the USB connector on the projector.

Displaying an image

Press the Power button.

The Power light on the Status Indicator Panel (page 14) blinks green and the fans start to run. When the lamp comes on, the start up screen displays and the Power light is steady green. It can take a minute for the image to achieve full brightness.

? No start up screen? Get help on page 14.

Turn on your computer or video device.

The image should appear on the projection screen. If it doesn’t, press the Source button on the projector’s keypad or remote.

If using a laptop, make sure it’s external video port is active.

Many laptops do not automatically turn on their external video port when a projector is connected. Usually a key combination like FN + F8 or CRT/LCD key turns the external display on and off. Locate a function key labeled CRT/LCD or a function key with a monitor symbol. Press FN and the labeled function key simultaneously. Refer to your laptop’s documenta

tion to learn your laptop’s key combination.

? No laptop image? Try pressing the Auto Image button on the key-

pad. Get help on page 15.

Adjusting the image

If necessary, adjust the height of the projector by pressing the elevator foot release button to extend the foot.

If necessary, rotate the leveling foot located at the rear of the projector.

Avoid placing your hands near the hot exhaust vent at the side of the projector.

Position the projector the desired distance from the screen at a 90 degree angle to the screen.

See page 5 for a table listing screen sizes and distances.

Adjust the zoom or focus.

If the image is not square, first make sure that the projector is perpendicular to the screen. If the image is larger or smaller on the top or bottom edge of the screen, press the top Keys tone button to reduce the upper part of the image, and press the bottom Keyst one button to reduce the lower part.

If the left or right side of the screen is larger or smaller the other, you can turn the projector to the left or to the right a few degrees to square the image.

Adjust the Contrast or Brightness in the Picture menu. See page 28 for help with these menu adjustments.

For Aspect Ratio, keep in mind that DVD players must be configured for 16:9 in order to view the highest quality image. For more information regarding Aspect Ratio, see

page 12.

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. There is also an audio input via the red and white A/V connectors. 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. Exam ples 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 projector’s Picture Menu. See

What is Aspect Ratio?

Aspect ratio is the ratio of the image width to image height. TV screens are usually 4:3, which is the default for this projector. HDTV and most DVDs are 16:9. If you’re projecting onto a screen, the size/shape of the screen may determine which aspect ratio to use. If you are projecting onto a blank wall, you don’t have the screen size restriction. What you plan to project will also help you choose between 4:3 and 16:9. Most TV shows are 4:3, while most movies are 16:9.

If you have a 16:9 screen then you should select an aspect ratio of 16:9 for anamorphic movies or HDTV, and Native for 4:3 content. If you have a 4:3 screen you should still use 16:9 for anamorphic 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. Keep in mind that anamorphic movies only appear correctly if the DVD player is set to output to a 16:9 television.
