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 manual for proper startup and shutdown procedures.

•In the unlikely event of the lamp rupturing, discard any edible items placed in the surrounding area and thoroughly clean the area along all sides of the projector. Wash hands after cleaning the area and handling the ruptured lamp. This product has a lamp which contains a very small amount of mercury. Dispose of it as required by local, state or federal ordinances and regulations. For more information see www.eiae.org.

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 section at the end of this user's guide.

Do not place objects or people in the 2 foot (.6m) area along the side of the projector. For ceiling mount applications, this area should be 5 feet (1.5m).

Connector Panel

The projector provides computer and video connectors:

•one M1-D/A (HD, DVI, and computer)

•one VESA (HD, HD component, and computer)

•one S-video

•one composite RCA video

•one audio in/one audio out

It also has an RS-232 serial connector for serial control. The Command Line Interface (CLI) specifications and commands are on our website.

The projector also has a LitePortTM USB connector (Type A) and player for JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group, .jpg, .jpe, or .jpeg) images. This allows you to display any JPEG image automatically, without a computer connected. Use your own JPEGs from your digital camera, or convert your

files, such as Microsoft PowerPointTM, WordTM, or ExcelTM files, into JPEGs using LitePort Utility software (included on the CD), which allows you to easily generate the highest quality JPEG images possible. Then transfer the JPEG images from your computer to the projector using a USB mass storage device and your images are ready to be displayed. (Please refer to the Service and Support section of our website for advanced specifications on the USB device and JPEG files.) You can use the remote control to select which JPEGs to view (page 27) or you can set up the LitePort player using the LitePort onscreen menu to select display preferences and automatically display and advance your JPEGs (page 36).

Wireless Projection

You can use the projector’s M1 connector along with the InFocus

LiteShow wireless adapter and software for cable-free digital projection. Contact an authorized InFocus dealer or visit the website listed on the back inside cover of this User’s Guide for more information.

Shutting down the projector

The projector automatically blanks the screen after no active source is detected for 30 minutes. This blank screen helps preserve the life of the projector. The image returns when an active source is detected or a remote or keypad button is pressed. The Interactive Display on the projector indicates the shutdown status.

Power Save

The projector also has a Power Save feature that automatically turns the lamp off after no signal is detected for 20 minutes. After 10 additional minutes with no signal, the projector powers down. If an active signal is received before the projector powers down, the image is displayed. You must press the Power button to display an image after 30 minutes have passed. When Power Save is enabled, Screen Save is disabled. See page 35.

Turning off the projector

To turn off the projector, press the Power button and verify that you want to turn the projector off by pressing the Power button again within 3 seconds. You can cancel the shutdown by not pressing the Power button a second time. The lamp turns off and the LED blinks green for 1 minute while the fans continue to run to cool the lamp. When the lamp has cooled, the LED lights green and the fans stop. Unplug the power cable to completely power off the projector.

Troubleshooting your setup

If your image appears correctly on the screen, skip to the next section (page 26). If it does not, troubleshoot the setup. The Interactive Display and LED on top of the projector indicate the state of the projector and can help you troubleshoot.
