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. Do not place the projec­tor on cloth table coverings, as they may get sucked up to the vents. Restricting the air flow can cause it to overheat and turn off.
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.
This projector is not intended for use in a mainframe computer room as defined in the Standard for the Protection of Electronic Computer/Data Processing Equipment, ANSI/NFPA 75.
NOTE: If you turn the projector
off then back on again, it takes
about 30 seconds for the lamp to
light.
Transport the projector in a vendor-approved hard or soft case. Part numbers for these cases are listed on page 52. Call your InFocus dealer to order.

The projector must be within 10 feet (3 m) of your power source and within 8 feet (2.4 m) of your computer.
If you want to project from behind a translucent screen, set up the projector behind your screen. See “Rear Projection” on page 32 to reverse the image.
If you are installing the projector on the ceiling, refer to the
LP755 Ceiling Mount Installation Guide
that comes with the Ceiling Mount Kit for more information. To turn the image upside down, see “Ceiling Projection” on page 32. The Ceil­ing Mount Kit is sold separately; see page 52.
Position the projector the desired distance from the screen.
2
The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen determines the size of the projected image. Figure 3 shows three projected image sizes using the lens at maximum zoom. For more information about image size, see “Pro­jected Image Size” on page 58.
NOTE: An optional extension
cable, sold separately, lets you
increase the distance between the
projector and your computer to
68 feet (21 m). See “Optional
Accessories” on page 52.
Make sure the projector and your computer are turned off.

USING THE PROJECTOR
This section describes how to use and make adjustments to the projector. It also provides a reference to the keypad and remote buttons and the options available from the on-screen menus.
Basic Image Adjustment
Make sure you have powered up your equipment in the right
1
order (page 15).
If the image doesn’t display completely, adjust the height and
2
tilt of the projector (page 19), zoom the image (page 19 and page 30), or center the image by adjusting its horizontal or vertical position (page 30).
If the image is out of focus, rotate the lens to focus it (page 19).
3
If the image appears to shimmer or if it has blurry vertical
4
bars after you have adjusted the focus, turn Auto Image (page 29) off and then back on to reset the automatic sync and tracking. If that doesn’t clear up the image, adjust the sync (page 29) and/or the tracking (page 30) manually.
If the colors don’t look right, adjust the brightness (page 22)
5
and tint (page 25).
Using the Remote Control
Point the remote control at the projection screen or at the top of the projector. The range for optimum operation is about 25 feet. If you point the remote at the projection screen, the distance to the screen and back to the projector must be less than or equal to 25 feet. For best results, point the remote directly at the front or the rear of the projector.
The projector ships with a full-feature remote (see page 21 for a description of the buttons) which includes a laser pointer. The remote has a disk mouse and two mouse buttons, one on the top of the remote and one on the bottom (Figure 14).
NOTE: If you can’t aim the
remote control at the projector so

Press anywhere on the edge of the disk mouse to move the cursor on the screen. You can move the cursor at any angle by pressing the corresponding edge of the disk. The mouse button on the top of the remote simulates your computer’s right mouse button; the button on the bottom simulates your computer’s left mouse but­ton. When you press the disk mouse, the remote lights up. The light goes off 10 seconds after you stop pressing buttons.
To use the laser, press and hold the laser button. The laser goes off when the button is released.
If you are creating presentations in Microsoft
®
PowerPoint®, you can use the remote’s mouse buttons to navigate through your presentation while in Slide Show mode. To configure PowerPoint for this, choose Options from the Tools menu, click the View Tab, de-select the “Popup Menu on Right Mouse Click” option in the Slide Show section, then click OK. Then, when you’re in Power­Point’s Slide Show mode, a left click advances to the next slide and a right click returns to the previous slide (other PowerPoint modes are not affected).

optimal setting. See “Manual Sync” on page 29 and “Manual Tracking” on page 30.
If you’re using an extension cable between the CableWizard and the projector, make sure it’s InFocus-approved.
The problem could be with your computer’s graphics board. If possible, connect a different computer.
Problem: Projected colors don’t match the computer or video player’s colors
Adjust the brightness, tint and/or contrast from the Display menu. Just as there are differences in the displays of different monitors, there are often differences between the computer image and the projected image. See “Brightness + or -” on page 22, “Tint” on page 25, and “Contrast” on page 25.
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 39.
46
Problem: Lamp shuts off
A minor power surge may cause the lamp to shut off. Turn the projector off, wait at least 30 seconds, then turn it back on.
Problem: Remote not operating correctly
You might need to replace the batteries. See “Replacing the Bat­teries in the Remote Control” on page 41.
Make sure you’re pointing the remote at the top of the projec­tor, or at the projection screen.
Make sure the remote is within its operating range of 25 feet.

Portable and Laptop Activation Chart
Many laptop computers do not automatically turn on their exter­nal video port when a secondary display device such as 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 some 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 on (called SimulScan in newer PowerBooks-see below), 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:
Open the Monitors control panel; click on Monitor 2.
1
Set the number of colors you want.
2
Open the Control Strip; click on the monitor icon.
3
Select “Turn Video Mirroring On.”
4
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:
Turn off video mirroring.
1
Open the Monitors control panel.
2
Move the white menu bar to Monitor 2 to set the projector as
3
the primary monitor.
Restart the PowerBook.
4
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:
Open the Control Panel, then double-click Monitors and
1
Sound.
In the Resolution list, choose the SimulScan mode, then click
2
OK.
If this changes your display settings, a dialog box appears.
3
Click OK to confirm the change.
