Important Operating Considerations for Safety

• Refer to this guide for proper startup and shutdown procedures.

• Follow all warnings and cautions in this manual and on the projector.

• Place the projector in a horizontal position no greater than 8 degrees off axis.

• Locate the projector at least 4' (1.2m) away from any heating or cooling vents.

• Do not block ventilation openings. Locate the projector in a well-ventilated area without obstructions to intake or exhaust vents. Do not place the projector on a tablecloth or other soft covering that may block the vents.

• Do not place the projector in direct sunlight, humid, greasy or dusty places or in places where the projector may come into contact with smoke or steam.

• Do not touch the exhaust vents. This area will become hot while the projector is being used. Be sure children are kept away from this area.

• Do not look directly into the lens while the projector is being used. Be especially careful that children do not stare directly into the lens .

• Do not push objects of any kind into this projector through its venting as object may touch dangerous voltage that could result in a fire or electrical shock.

• Do not drop the projector.

• Do not spill liquid on the projector. Spilled liquid may damage the projector.

• Do not place any object on the projector.

• Do not stand or step on the projector.

• Use the power cord provided. Connect the power cord to a receptacle with a protective safety (earth) ground terminal. The AC power cord has a three-pin grounding-type power plug. This plug will only fit a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. Do not remove the grounding pin on the power plug.

• A surge-protected power strip is recommended. Do not overload wall outlets.

• When disconnecting the power cord, hold the plug, not the cord. Unplug the projector from the wall outlet, if the projector is unused for an extended time.

• Wash hands after handling the cables supplied with this product.

• The projector remote control uses batteries. Make sure the batteries’ polarity (+/-) is aligned correctly. Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local disposal laws.

• Use an InFocus approved ceiling mount kit for proper fitting, ventilation and installation. The projector warranty does not cover any damage caused by use of non-approved ceiling mount kits or by installing in an improper location.

• When the projector is ceiling mounted, wear protective eyewear to prevent eye injury before opening lamp door.

• The projector must be installed by a qualified professional in order to ensure proper operation and reduce the risk of hazards or injury. It is not recommended you install the projector yourself.

• Refer all service to qualified service personnel. Servicing your own projector can be dangerous to you and will void the warranty.

• Only use replacement parts specified by InFocus. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electrical shock, or injury, and may void the warranty

• Only genuine InFocus lamps are tested for use in this projector. Use of non InFocus lamps may cause electrical shock and fire, and may void the projector warranty.

• Hg – Lamp contains mercury. Manage in accordance with local disposal laws. See www.lamprecycle.org.

• The projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp. The lamp may fail prematurely, or it may rupture with a popping sound if jolted, scratched, or handled while hot. The risk of lamp failure or rupture also increases as the lamp age increases; please replace the lamp when you see the “Replace Lamp” message.

• In the unlikely event of a lamp rupture, particles may exit through the projector vents. Keep people, food, and drinks out of the "keep out" area under and around the projector, as indicated by the "X" areas below.

Screen

Maximum Shift

Horizontal Offset +/-15%

To determine where to position the projector, consider 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:

• The vertical image offset range is 105%

~130% for the SP8602 (default is 105%). The default horizontal image offset is +/-15%, however at maximum vertical image offset, there is no horizontal lens shift.

• Position the projector on a flat surface a

t a right angle to the screen. The

projector must be at least 4.9’ (1.5m) from the projection screen.

• Position the projector within 10’ (3m) of your power so

urce and within 6’ (1.8m) of your video device (unless you purchase extension cables). T o en sure adequate cable access, do not place the projector within 6” (.15m) of a wall or other object.

• Position the projector to the desired dis

tance 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.

• If the image is square but not centered on the screen or viewing area, adjust it by using the lens shift dials. Use the Horizontal dial to shift the lens left or right. Use the Vertical dial to shift the lens up or down.

NOTE: As the lens is shifted away from the lens centerline, the horizontal shift range is reduced. To adju st lens shift efficiently we suggest you follow these steps:

1 Use vertical lens shift to move the image closer to the lens centerline tha n the

final vertical position.

2 Use horizontal lens shift to determine the center horizontal position, then move

image to the center horizontal position.

3 Use vertical lens shift to move the image away from the lens centerline to the

final vertical position.

4 Use horizontal lens shift to move the image to the final horizontal position. 5 If lens shift is unable to move the image far enough, move the projector

(preferable) or tilt the projector and then use vertical and horizontal keystone to re-position the image.

Ceiling Mount

If you wish to install the projector on the ceiling:

• The projector must be installed by a qualified professional in order to ensure proper operation and reduce the risk of hazards or injury. It is not recommended you install the projector yourself.

• We strongly recommend using InFocus approved ceiling mounts for proper fitting, ventilation and installation. Refer to the installation guide that comes with the InFocus Ceiling Mount Kit (p/n SP-CEIL-INSTALL) for more information. The warranty does not cover any damage caused by use of nonapproved ceiling mount kits or by installing in an improper location.

• The ceiling must be strong enough to support the projector and the installation must be in accordance with any local building codes. Consult your dealer for more information.

• Maximum supported physical pitch is +/-8º.

• Maximum supported physical horizontal roll is +/-8º.

• Keep all adjacent surfaces 3” (76mm) from sides, (22mm) from the bottom of projector to preserve required airflow around the projector.

Connecting a video device

You can connect video devices such as VCRs, DVD players, camcorders, digital cameras, video game consoles, HDTV receivers, and TV tuners to the projector.

You can connect the projector to most video devices that can output video. 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.

Although the aspect ratio is automatically selected by the projector based on the signal input, you can change the aspect ratio, if desired. The projector’s Aspect Ratio setting is accessed through the Resize button on the remote or through the projector’s Basic Picture Menu. See

page 27 for more information.

Video device connections

You can order cables from InFocus or use your own.

Composite video connection

Plug the composite video cable’s yellow connector into the video out connector on the video device. Plug the other yellow connector into the yellow Composite connector on the projector.

Keep in mind that video output from composite connections is not as high quality as S-video.

HDMI 1.3 connection

To tak e advantage of HDMI 1.3 Deep Color (30 bit) you must have a 1.3compatible source.

S-video connection

If your video device uses a round, four-prong S-video connector, plug an S-video cable into the S-video connector on your video device and into the S-video connector on the projector.

Keep in mind that S-video delivers higher quality video output than composite.

VGA connection

If your video device has a 15-pin VGA output, plug one end of the included computer cable into the VGA connector on your video source. This connector may be labeled “To Monitor” on the video source. Plu g the computer cabl e into the VGA connector on the projector.

Component video connection

Plug the component cable into the video device. Plug the other end of the component cable into the Component 1, Component 2 or Component 3 connectors.

In addition, a Component to VGA adapter can be used in conjunction with the VGA connectors. Plug the component cable into the video device. Plug the other end of the component cable into the adapter and plug the adapter into the VGA connector.

Component offers the highest quality analog video output.
