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.

•
use the security lock feature
•
troubleshoot the projector
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.

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.

3 Before you replace the lamp, use the compressed or canned
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.

Maintenance & Troubleshooting
Tr o ub l e sh o o t i n g
Problem: The projector is not running
•
Make sure that the power cord is properly connected to a fully
functional AC electrical outlet. Make sure that the power cord
is also properly connected to the projector.
•
If the projector is plugged into a power strip, make sure the
power strip is turned on.
•
Make sure the projector is turned on.
Problem: Projector is running, but nothing appears on projection screen
•
Make sure you have removed the lens cap on the projection
lens at the front of the projector.
•
Check the projector’s lamp to ensure that it is securely con-
nected in the lamp module. Make sure the lamp door is
installed. Make sure the lamp has not been in use for over
2,000 hours. The lamp automatically shuts off at 2,000 hours.
See “Replacing the Projection Lamp” on page 45. A series of
three fast blinking red LEDs indicates a lamp or fan failure.
50
Problem: Only the start-up screen displays
•
Verify that the cables are connected correctly. See page 9
through page 10 for connection procedures.
•
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.

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.

Many laptop computers do not automatically turn on their external video port when a projector is connected. Activation commands for some laptop computers are listed in the following
table. (If your computer is not listed or the given command does
not work, refer to the computer’s documentation for the appropriate command.) On many laptops, the activation function key
is labeled with an icon, for example or the text CRT/LCD.

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.
