Usage Guidelines
• Do not look directly into the projection lens when the projector
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 37.

nector, use an S-video cable, ordered separately. S-video
generates a higher quality image.
1 Plug the A/V cable’s round yellow connector into the “video-
out” connector on your video device (Figure 8). This connector may be labeled “To Monitor.”
• If you’re using an S-video cable, connect the round black
connector to the “S-video out” connector on the video
device.

MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING
This section describes how to:
•clean the lens
•clean the lamp filter screens
•replace the projection lamp
•replace the batteries in the remote
•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.
Cleaning the Lamp Filter Screens
In dirty or dusty environments, the dust filter screens on and
around 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 30 for instructions.
2 Examine the dust filter screens on the lamp module and in the
lamp housing area. If necessary, use a vacuum cleaner set on
low power to clean the screens. Be careful not to disturb any
internal components when cleaning the screens.
3 Replace the lamp module.
29
Maintenance & Troubleshooting
Replacing the Projection Lamp
The lamp hour timer in the Service Info menu counts the number
WARNING: To avoid burns,
allow the projector to cool for at
least 60 minutes before you
replace the lamp. Never extract
the lamp housing while the
projector is operating.
of hours the lamp has been in use. When the timer reaches 2900
hours, the Lamp LED lights red, indicating that it is time to
change the lamp. You can order new lamp housings from your
InFocus dealer. See “Accessories” on page 37 for information.
Follow these steps to replace the projection lamp:
1 Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord.
2 Wait 60 minutes to allow the projector to cool thoroughly.
3 Turn the projector upside down and loosen the captive screw
on the lamp door. The lamp door is part of the lamp housing.
WARNING: Be extremely careful
when removing the lamp housing.
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.
Before replacing the lamp, clean
the lamp compartment and
dispose of cleaning materials.
Wash hands after lamp
replacement. 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.

Maintenance & Troubleshooting
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.
1 Turn the remote face down in your hand.
2 Slide the door off the end of the remote.
3 Remove the old batteries and dispose of them in an environ-
mentally proper manner.
4 Install two new AA alkaline batteries. Make sure you install
each in the correct direction.
5 Re-install the door.
Using the Security Lock
The projector has a security connector for use with a PC Guardian Cable Lock System (Figure 27). See “Accessories” on page 37
for ordering information. Refer to the information that came with
the lock for instructions on how to use it.
