Important Operating Considerations for Safety

• Place the projector in a horizontal position with no greater than 8
degrees forward or backwards tilt.

• 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. The minimum distance
between the ceiling and a ceiling-mounted projector is 11.8”/30cm.

• 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).

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

A 3.5mm mini-jack trigger provides 12 volt current. This provides a con­stant output while the projector is on. For example, if you connect your pro­jection screen to the trigger, when you turn on the projector the screen will
move down; when you turn the projector off, the screen will return to the
storage position.

You must turn the trigger on in the System menu, see page 28.

Positioning the projector

There are a number of factors to consider when determining where to set up
the projector, including the size and shape of your screen, the location of
your power outlets, and the distance between the projector and the rest of
your equipment. Here are some general guidelines.

1 Position the projector on a flat surface at a right angle to the screen.

The projector must be within 10 feet (3 m) of your power source. To
ensure adequate cable access, place the projector at least 6 inches
(0.15m) from a wall or other objects. Place the projector at least 5.6 feet
(1.7 m) from the projection screen.

If you install the projector on the ceiling, refer to the installation guide
that comes with the Ceiling Mount Kit for more information. To turn
the image upside down, see page 28. InFocus recommends use of an
authorized InFocus ceiling mount. The Ceiling Mount Kit is sold sepa­rately.

2 Position the projector the desired distance from the screen.

The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen, the zoom set­ting, and the video format determine the size of the projected image.
For more information about projected image sizes, see page 36.

10’ high
image

The image exits the projector at a given angle. This image offset is 105%.
This means that if you have an image 10’ high, the bottom of the image will
be 0.5’ above the center of the lens.

tor.

Video connections

Table 1: Video connections

You can connect VCRs, DVD players, camcorders, digital cameras, video
games, HDTV receivers, and TV tuners to the projector. (You cannot directly
connect the coaxial cable that enters your house from a cable or satellite
company; the signal must pass through a tuner first. Examples of tuners are
digital cable boxes, VCRs, digital video recorders, and satellite TV boxes.
Basically, any device that can change channels is considered a tuner.) If there
is more than one output, select the highest quality one. DVI, Component
video and RGB (M1, HD15) have the best quality, followed by S-video, and
then composite video

.

Connecting a video device

If your video device has more than one output, select the highest quality
one. DVI video has the best quality, followed by Component video, S-video,
and then composite video.
If the video device uses component cable connectors, plug the cable’s green
connectors into the green component-out connector on the video device and
into the green component connector (labeled “Y” Component 3) on the
projector. Plug the component cable’s blue connectors into the blue compo­nent-out connector on the video device and into the blue component con­nector (labeled “Pb”) on the projector. Plug the component cable’s red
connectors into the red component-out connector on the video device and
into the red component connector (labeled “Pr”) on the projector. If you are
using RGB input, plug the additional connector into the Video 5 connector
and turn on the RGB Video option in the Sources menu. See page 28.
If the video device uses a round, four-prong S-video connector, plug the
S-video cable into the S-video connector on the video device and into the S-
Video 4 connector on the projector. Connect the red and white audio con­nectors from the A/V cable to your source and Audio In connector on the
projector, if desired. If the video device uses a yellow composite video con­nector, plug the A/V cable’s yellow connector into the video-out connector
on the video device. Plug the other yellow connector into the yellow Video
5 connector on the projector. Connect the red and white audio connectors
from the A/V cable to your source and the projector.

If the video device uses a DVI connector, plug the computer cable into the
video-out connector on the video device. Plug the other connector into the
DVI 2 connector on the projector.
If the video device uses a VESA connector, plug a VESA cable into the
video-out connector on the video device. Plug the other connector into the
VESA 1 connector on the projector.

Connecting a computer

Connect either a VESA cable or M1 cable into the appropriate connector on
the projector (Vesa 1 o r DVI 2 ). Connect the other end to the video port on
your computer. If you are using a desktop computer, you first need to dis­connect the monitor cable from the computer’s video port.

Connect the black power cable to the connector on the back of the projector
and to your electrical outlet. The Power LED on the projector’s keypad
turns solid green.

NOTE: Always use the power cable that shipped with the projector.

You can control the projector from an LCD control panel or computer by
connecting an RS-232 cable to the projector’s Serial control connector. Spe­cific RS-232 commands can be found in the Service and Support section of
our website at www.infocushome.com/support. You should also check
here for software updates. You can update your projector’s software using
