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.

• Do not block the lens with any object while the projector is being used.
Bl

ocking the light path can cause overheating and result in fire.

• Place the projector in a horizontal position no greater than 8 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
ar

ea 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 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
pr

otective 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.

• The projector must be installed by a qualified professional in order to ensure
proper operation and reduce the risk of hazards or injury. It is not
recommended you install the projector yourself.

• 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
In

Focus 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 the Lamp LED is red.

• In the unlikely event of a lamp rupture, particles may exit through the

ojector vents. Please keep people, food, and drinks out of the “keep out”

pr
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
the projector. Failure to follow these instructions may affect the warranty. For
complete details of the warranty, see the Safety/Warranty Booklet.

12V Screen Trigger output

The 3.5mm mini-jack screen trigger provides a 12 volt, 0.25 amp DC output. It
turns on when the lamp is lit. If you connect your projection screen to this output
using the cable that came with your screen, the screen will move down when the
lamp is turned on and return to its storage position when the lamp is turned off.

Positioning the Projector

Vertical Image Offset is -60-% ~ +20%

lens center

20% offset

-60% offset

Horizontal Image Offset is +/-10%

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
p

rojector (with the standard zoom lens, LENS-074) must be at 55.8”/

1.42m(XGA) ; 60.2”/1.53m (WXGA) ; 57.2”/1.45m (WUXGA) from the
projection screen. See appendix for additional lens information.

• Position the projector within 10 feet (3m) of your power source and within 6

eet (1.8m) of your video device (unless you purchase extension cables). To

f
ensure adequate cable access, do not place the projector within 6 inches
(.15m) of a wall or other object.

• Position the projector to 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 at a given angle. However, the lens shift feature makes the
image offset variable.

• The vertical image offset range for all the projectors is -60% to +20% (default
0%), and the horizontal image offset is +/-10% (default 0%). At 20% vertical
offset, the bottom of the image is 20% of the image height above the center
of the lens in a tabletop configuration.

6

Ceiling Mount

If you wish to install the projector on the ceiling:

• The projector must be installed by a qualified professional in order to ensure
proper operation and reduce the risk of hazards or injury. It is not
recommended you install the projector yourself.

• We strongly recommend using InFocus approved ceiling mounts for proper
fitting, ventilation and installation. Refer to the ceiling mount installation
guide 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.

• The ceiling must be strong enough to support the projector and the
installation must be in accordance with any local building codes. Consult your
dealer for more information.

• The maximum physical pitch is unlimited, however the lamp life will be
negatively affected.

• The maximum supported physical horizontal roll is +/-10º. Note: Lamp life will
be negatively affected.

• Keep all adjacent surfaces at least 19.7” (50cm) from the sides, 12” (30cm)
from the top and bottom of the projector, and 27.6” (70cm) from the back of
the projector to preserve required airflow around the projector.

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.
Note: This projector does not support audio. You must connect 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.

Although the aspect ratio is automatically selected by the projector based on the
signal input, you can change the aspect ratio, if desired. The projector’s Aspect
Ratio setting is accessed through the Aspect button on the remote or through the
projector’s Picture 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 use your own.

HDMI 1.3 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.

To take advantage of HDMI 1.3 Deep Color (30 bit) you must have a 1.3-compatible
source.

3G-SDI

Connect a BNC coaxial cable into the video device. Plug the other end of the cable
into the SDI In connector on the projector.

Component video connection

Plug a BNC type component cable into the video device. Plug the other end of the
component cable into the YPbPr connectors as appropriate.

In addition, a Component to VGA adapter can be used in conjunction with the VGA
connectors. 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 RGB
connector.

Component offers the highest quality analog video output.

S-video connection

If your video device uses a round, four-prong S-video connector, plug an S-video
cable into the S-video connector on your video device and into the S-video
connector on the projector.

S-video delivers higher quality video output than composite.

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.

Composite Video output from composite connections is not as high quality as S­video or as Component.

RGB (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. Plug the computer
cable into the RGB connector on the projector.

3G-SDI Out

Connect one end of a BNC coaxial cable into the SDI Out connector on the
projector and the other end into another projector to daisy-chain the projectors.

11

Shutting down the projector

Auto Power Off

The projector has an Auto Power Off feature that automatically turns the projector
off if no active sources are detected and no user interaction with the projector is
performed for 20 minutes. By default, this feature is off.
