Usage Guidelines
Do not look directly into the projection lens when the lamp is turned on. The bright light may harm your eyes.
Do not block the grills on the projector. Restricting the air flow can cause it to overheat and turn off. If this happens, you must wait a minute before attempting to turn it back on.
Handle the projector as you would any product with glass components. Be especially careful not to drop it.
Avoid leaving the projector in direct sunlight or extreme cold for extended periods of time. If this happens, allow it to reach room temperature before use.
Transport the projector in a vendor-approved hard or soft case. Part numbers for these cases are listed on page 56.

Cleaning the Lens
Follow these steps to clean the projection lens:
1 Apply a non-abrasive camera lens cleaner to a soft, dry cloth.
Avoid using an excessive amount of cleaner, and don’t apply the cleaner directly to the lens.
Abrasive cleaners, solvents or other harsh chemicals might scratch the lens.
2 Lightly wipe the cleaning cloth over the lens in a circular
motion.
3 If you don’t intend to use the projector immediately, replace
the lens cap.
Replacing the Projection Lamp
The lamp hour counter in the Status menu counts the number of hours the lamp has been in use. After 1,980 hours of use, the mes­sage “Change Lamp” temporarily appears on the screen when the projector is turned on. Change the lamp within the next 20 hours. After 2,000 hours, the lamp will not light. You can order new lamp modules from your InFocus dealer. See “Accessories” on page 56 for information.
Follow these steps to replace the projection lamp:
1 Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord.
2 Wait 30 minutes to allow the projector to cool thoroughly.
WARNING: To avoid burns,
allow the projector to cool for at
least 30 minutes before you open
the lamp module door. Never
extract the lamp module while the
projector is operating.
45
Maintenance & Troubleshooting
3 Invert the projector on a soft flat surface, then push the ridge
on the lamp door toward the back (Figure 33). The arrow on the lamp door should point to the unlock icon on the bottom of the projector. Lift the door up.
WARNING: Be extremely careful
when removing the lamp module.
In the unlikely event that the bulb
ruptures, small glass fragments
may be generated. The lamp
module is designed to contain
these fragments, but use caution
when removing the lamp module.
CAUTION: Never operate the
projector with the lamp door open
or removed. This disrupts the air
flow and causes the projector to
overheat.

Maintenance & Troubleshooting
Cleaning the Projection Lamp Filter Screens
In dirty or dusty environments, the dust filter screens on the lamp module can become clogged, causing high temperatures inside the lamp module. These high temperatures can cause pre­mature lamp failure. Routine maintenance to remove dust and dirt from the screens lowers the lamp operating temperature and prolongs lamp life. To maximize lamp life you may want to clean the screen every 250 hours.
1 Remove the lamp module. Refer to “Replacing the Projection
Lamp” on page 45 for instructions.
2 Examine the dust filter screens on each side of the lamp mod-
ule. If necessary, use compressed or canned air to clean the screens. Then use a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol to lightly wipe each screen. After you've wiped each screen, use the compressed or canned air to blow away remaining contaminants.

air to clean the lamp housing in the projector.
4 Replace the lamp and lamp door.
Replacing the Batteries in the Remote Control
The life of the batteries depends on how often and how long you use the remote. Symptoms of low battery charge include erratic responses when using the remote and a reduced range of opera­tion.
Follow these steps to replace the batteries:
1 Turn the remote face down in your hand.
2 Push the tab on the battery door toward the top of the remote
and lift the door off.
3 Remove the old batteries and dispose of them in an environ-
mentally proper manner.
4 Install two new AAA alkaline batteries. Make sure you install
each in the correct direction.
5 Insert the hooks on the battery door into the remote and press
the tab to re-install the door.
Using the Security Lock
The projector has a security connector for use with a PC Guard­ian Cable Lock System (Figure 37). See “Optional Accessories” on page 56 for ordering information. Refer to the information that came with the lock for instructions on how to use it to secure the projector.

Make sure that the cables do not have any bent pins.
Verify that the proper input source is connected. See “Source
(keypad only) or Data and Video (remote only)” on page 22.
You might need to turn everything off and power up the
equipment again in the proper order. Refer to your com­puter’s documentation to determine the correct order.
Make sure your laptop’s external video port is turned on. See
the “Portable and Laptop Activation Chart” on page 58 or your computer’s manual for details.
Make sure your computer’s video board is installed and con-
figured correctly.
If you’re using Windows 98:
1 Open “My Computer” icon, the Control Panel folder and
then the Display icon.
2 Click the Settings tab.
3 Verify that the Desktop area is set to 1280x1024 or less.
Problem: Color or text not being projected
You might need to adjust the brightness up or down until the
text is visible. Refer to “Brightness” on page 26 for more infor­mation.
Problem: The screen resolution is not right
Make sure the computer’s video card is set for a resolution of
no greater than 1280x1024.
Problem: Image isn’t centered on the screen
Move the projector to reposition the image.
Reposition the image using the menu. Refer to “Horizontal
Position” on page 31 and “Vertical Position” on page 31.
Be sure the projector is at a 90 degree angle to the screen.
Problem: Image is too wide or narrow for screen
Adjust the zoom or projector placement.
Adjust the resolution of your video card if it’s greater than
1280x1024.
Problem: Image is out of focus
Turn the projection lens to focus the image.
Make sure the projection screen is at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from
the projector.
Check the projection lens to see if it needs cleaning.
Problem: Image and menus are reversed left to right
Rear projection mode is probably turned on. Turn Rear Projec-
tion off in the Controls menu. The image should immediately return to forward projection. See “Rear Project” on page 34.
51
Maintenance & Troubleshooting
Problem: the projector displays vertical lines, “bleeding” or spots
Adjust the brightness. See “Brightness” on page 26.
Check the projection lens to see if it needs cleaning.
Problem: no sound
Adjust volume.
Turn off “mute” in the menu. See page 28.
Verify audio/input connections.
Adjust audio source.
Problem: Image is “noisy” or streaked
Try these steps in this order.
1 Deactivate the screen saver on your computer.
2 Turn
Auto Image
off and then back on again. See “Auto
Image” on page 30.
3 Turn
Auto Image
off and adjust the synchronization and track­ing manually to find an optimal setting. See “Manual Sync” on page 30 and “Manual Tracking” on page 30.
The problem could be with your computer’s video card. If
possible, connect a different computer.
Problem: Projected colors don’t match the computer or video player’s colors
Just as there are differences in the displays of different moni-
tors, there are often differences between the computer image and the projected image. Adjust the brightness, tint and/or contrast from the Display menu. See “Brightness” on page 26, “Tint” on page 27 and “Contrast” on page 27.
Problem: Lamp seems to be getting dimmer
The lamp begins to lose brightness when it has been in use for
a long time. Replace the lamp as described in “Replacing the Projection Lamp” on page 45.
52
Problem: Lamp shuts off
A minor power surge may cause the lamp to shut off. Unplug
the projector, wait at least a minute, then plug it back in.
Make sure the vents are not blocked.
Make sure the lamp has not been in use for over 2000 hours.
The lamp automatically shuts off after 2000 hours.

Using Video Mirroring with a PowerBook Computer
When you turn video mirroring (called SimulScan in newer Pow­erBooks—see below) on, the projector displays the same informa­tion that appears on your PowerBook’s built-in screen. When video mirroring is off, the projector acts like a separate display.
To turn on video mirroring for the first time:
1 Open the Monitors control panel; click on Monitor 2.
2 Set the number of colors you want.
3 Open the Control Strip, then click on the monitor icon.
4 Select “Turn Video Mirroring On.”
Now you can turn video mirroring on and off from the Control Strip without having to open the Monitors control panel again.
When using video mirroring and high color graphics such as slide shows, the projected image occasionally might turn black and white. If this happens, perform the following steps:
1 Turn off video mirroring.
2 Open the Monitors control panel.
3 Move the white menu bar to Monitor 2 to set the projector as
the primary monitor.
4 Restart the PowerBook.
Using SimulScan
Some newer PowerBooks display images on an external monitor or projector differently than previous ones. When using SimulScan, the projector displays the same information that appears on your PowerBook
To select SimulScan:
1 Open the Control Panel, then double-click Monitors and
Sound.
2 In the Resolution list, choose the SimulScan mode, then click
OK.
3 If this changes your display settings, a dialog box appears.
Click OK to confirm the change.

LIMITED WARRANTY
ASK, InFocus, Proxima-Branded Products
InFocus Corporation (“InFocus”) warrants that the ASK, InFocus, and Proxima-branded product (“Product”) purchased from InFocus or an InFocus reseller will conform to the manufacturers specifications and be free from defects in material or workmanship for the Warranty period provided below. InFocus does not warrant that the Product will meet the specific requirements of the end-user customer. The Limited War­ranty period commences on the date of purchase by the end-user customer. Said Limited Warranty shall apply only to the end-user purchaser (first person or entity that purchases a new Product for personal or business use and not for the purpose of distribution or resale). Any person exercising a claim under this Limited Warranty must establish to the satisfaction of InFocus both the date of purchase and that the Product was purchased new. The sales receipt or invoice, showing the date of purchase of the Product is the proof of the date of purchase.
From the date of such purchase, said Limited Warranty shall continue for a period of two (2) years (parts and labor) for Projector Products; for one (1) year (parts only) for customer replaceable and Accessory Products; and for ninety (90) days or 500 hours (parts only), whichever comes first, for Lamp Products (whether pur­chased in projectors or separately as replacements). During the Warranty period for the Product, Replace­ment lamps, which are purchased at the time of projector purchase, will have a 90-day or 500 hour Warranty, whichever comes first, from the date the spare lamp is put into use.
At the sole option of InFocus, the Product will either be repaired or replaced. All exchanged parts and Prod­ucts replaced under this Warranty will become property of InFocus. InFocus’ sole obligation is to supply (or pay for) all labor necessary to repair the Product found to be defective within the Warranty period and to repair or replace defective parts with new parts or, at the option of InFocus, serviceable used parts that are equivalent or superior to new parts performance.
During the Warranty period, to exercise this Limited Warranty, the purchaser must first contact either InFo­cus, a service facility authorized by InFocus or the place of original purchase. For Warranty service, the pur­chaser will be advised to return or deliver the defective Product freight and all fees prepaid, to an InFocus Service Center or to a service facility authorized by InFocus. When returning Product to InFocus, a Return Material Authorization Number (RMA #) is required and must be clearly displayed on the outside of the shipping carton containing the Product. The Product is to be fully insured and packed in either its original carton or a similar package affording an equal degree of protection. InFocus or the service facility authorized by InFocus will return the repaired/replaced Product freight prepaid to the purchaser. Products returned for Warranty service must be accompanied by a written letter that: i.) explains the problem; ii) provides proof of date of purchase; iii) provides the dealer’s name; and iv.) provides the model and serial number of the Product. Upon request of InFocus Corporation or an authorized repair center for InFocus, proof of legal importation must accompany the warranty repair Product, otherwise the Product must be returned to the place of original purchase, to the manufacturer (Purchaser must bear all tax, duty and freight), or the Pur­chaser must bear charges for the warranty repair.
No repair or replacement of Product or part thereof shall extend the Warranty period as to the entire Product. Warranty on the repaired part and workmanship shall only be effective for a period of ninety (90) days fol­lowing the repair or replacement of that part or the remaining period of the Product Warranty whichever is greater.
WARRANTY LIMITATION AND EXCLUSION
This Limited Warranty extends only to Products purchased from InFocus or an InFocus authorized reseller. InFocus shall have no further obligation under the foregoing Limited Warranty if the Product has been dam­aged due to abuse, misuse, neglect, accident, unusual physical or electrical stress, unauthorized modifica­tions, tampering, alterations, or service other than by InFocus or its authorized agents, causes other than from ordinary use or failure to properly use the Product in the application for which said Product is intended.
Limited Warranty excludes Product or accessory cleaning, repair, or replacement of plastics due to cosmetic damage and damage as a result of normal wear. Product repair outside of the terms of the Limited Warranty will be on a time and materials basis. Prolonged Product “demonstration” causes unusual Product wear and is not considered normal use under the terms of this Limited Warranty.
Accessory Warranty covers the accessory item only and excludes normal wear. Lamp Product Warranty excludes expected lamp degradation.
Remanufactured Products and Software Products are exempt from the foregoing Limited Warranty. Please refer to the appropriate Remanufactured Product Limited Warranty or Software Product Limited Warranty for applicable Warranty information.
DISCLAIMER OF UNSTATED WARRANTIES
THE WARRANTY PRINTED ABOVE IS THE ONLY WARRANTY APPLICABLE TO THIS PURCHASE. ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE DIS­CLAIMED. THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES THAT EXTEND BEYOND THE FACE HEREOF AND THE FOREGOING WARRANTY SHALL NOT BE EXTENDED, ALTERED OR VARIED EXCEPT BY WRITTEN INSTRUMENT SIGNED BY INFOCUS. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY MAY LAST, SO SUCH LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
IT IS UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT INFOCUS’ LIABILITY WHETHER IN CONTRACT, IN TORT, UNDER ANY WARRANTY, IN NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE RETURN OF THE AMOUNT OF THE PURCHASE PRICE PAID BY PURCHASER AND UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL INFOCUS BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAM­AGES OR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUES OR LOST SAVINGS. THE PRICE STATED FOR THE PROD­UCT IS A CONSIDERATION IN LIMITING INFOCUS’ LIABILITY. NO ACTION, REGARDLESS OF FORM, ARISING OUT OF THE AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE THE PRODUCT MAY BE BROUGHT BY PUR­CHASER MORE THAN ONE YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION HAS ACCRUED. SOME JURISDIC­TIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS, DEPENDING ON JURISDICTION.
