Important Operating Considerations for Safety

• Place the projector in a horizontal po

sition no greater than 15 degrees

off axis.

• 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.

• Only InFocus lamps are tested and certifi

ed for use in this projector.
InFocus is not liable for the performance, safety or certification of any
other lamps. The use of other lamps violates the projector warranty and
voids all certification marks on this projector.

• Use only the power cord provided. A surge-protected power strip is
recommended.

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

• Warn ing: Hg – Lamp contains mercury. Manage in accordance
wi

th local disposal laws. See www.lamprecycle.org.

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

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 booklet.

Connecting a computer

Required computer connections

Connect the black end of the computer cable to the Computer 1 connector
on the projector. Connect the blue 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.
Some Macintosh® com

puters do not have a standard VESA-out video port.
If the supplied computer cable will not connect to your computer, purchase
the appropriate adapter from your Apple® reseller.

Connect the black power cable to the connector on the back of the projector
and

to your electrical outlet.

The Power light on the Sta

tus Indicator Panel (page 12) turns amber.

NOTE: Always use the

power cable that shipped with the projector.

Optional computer connections

To advance slides in a PowerPoint™ presentation using the up and down
arrow buttons on the remote, plug the USB connector on the computer cable
into the USB mouse connector on your computer.

To have sound with your presentation, connect an audio cable (sold sepa­rately) to your computer and to the Audio In connector on the projector.

If you are using a desktop computer and want to see the image on your
computer screen as well as on the projection screen, plug the monitor cable
to the Monitor Out connector on the projector.

If you prefer connecting your projector to your computer with an optional
VESA

cable, connect one end of the cable to the VESA port on your com-

puter, and connect the other end

of the cable to the blue Computer 2 con-

nector on the projector.

You can control the projector from an LCD control panel or computer by

tion to learn your laptop’s key combination.
