Positioning the projector
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:
• Position the projector on a flat surface at a right angle to the screen. The
projector (with the standard lens) must be at least 3 feet (0.9m) from the
projection screen.
• Position the projector within 10 feet (3m) of your power source and
within 6 feet (1.8m) of your video device (unless you purchase extension cables). To ensure adequate cable access, do not place the projector
within 6 inches (.15m) of a wall or other object.
• If you are installing 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 “Ceiling” on page 36. We recommends using an authorized ceiling mount. The Ceiling Mount Kit is
sold separately; see the Accessories catalog that came with this projector or visit our website for more information.
• 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 information
about image sizes at different distances, see “Projected image size” on
page 44.
• For the standard lens that comes with the projector, the image exits at a
given angle. However, the lens shift feature makes the image offset
variable. The image offset is 100% at a 10:0 ratio when the projector is in
4:3 mode (default mode). This means that if you have an image 10’
high, all 10’ will appear above the center of the lens.
• This image offset is 50% when the lens shift is at a 1:1 ratio. This means
that if you have an image 10’ high, the bottom of the image will be 5’
below the center of the lens.
• For information about the optional lenses image offsets, see “Projected
image size” on page 44.

RS-232 commands
Communication Configuration
Visit our website for additional RS-232 settings and information.
To control this projector via RS-232, connect a null modem cable and set the
control system serial port settings to match the following communication
configuration:
Command Format
All commands consist of 3 alpha characters followed by a request, all
enclosed in parentheses. The request can be a read request (indicated by a
"?") or a write request (indicated by 1 to 4 ASCII digits).
A read request example:
(AAA?) where
( starts the command
AAA denotes the command
? denotes the read request
) ends the command
A read command returns the range and the current setting, for example:
A write request example:
(AAA####) where
(starts the command
AAA denotes the command
#### denotes the value to be written
(leading zeros not necessary)
) ends the command
Some commands have ranges, while others are absolute. If a number greater
than the maximum range is received, it is automatically set to the maximum
number for that function. If a command is received that is not understood, a
"?" is returned. With absolute settings, "0" is off, 1-9999 is on. The one exception is the Power command, where 0 is off and 1 is on.
To assure the projector can process a command, wait 3 seconds before entering the next command.

Error Conditions
Not all commands are supported for all projectors. If an unsupported command is issued, the command will be ignored. If a command is received that
is not understood, a ‘?’ character will be returned indicating the command
was not understood.
Limitations
The projector cannot respond to commands coming in at a high-rate. Therefore, a delay must occur between commands to ensure that the command
gets properly executed. To assure the projector can process a command,
wait 3 seconds before entering the next command.
The Step column refers to increasing or decreasing the menu bar position
since the On-screen Display is not an exact match of values. For example,
Step 2 changes the data by 2 through the CLI (Command Line Interface).
The menu bar is up (or down) by 1.

Limited Warranty
InFocus Corporation (“InFocus”) warrants that the Projector (“Product”) purchased
from InFocus, an InFocus distributor, or an InFocus reseller will conform to the man-
ufacturer's specifications and be free from defects in material or workmanship for the
Warranty period provided below. InFocus does not warrant that the Product will
meet the specific requirements of the end-user customer.
If the Product, which is the subject of this Limited Warranty, is defective in material or
workmanship during the warranty period, InFocus, at its option
, will REPAIR or
REPLACE the Product.
All exchanged parts and products replaced under this Warranty will become prop-
erty of InFocus. InFocus’ sole obligation
is to supply (or pay for) all labor necessary to
repair the Product found to be defective within the Warranty period and to repair or
replace defective parts with new parts or, at the option of InFocus
, serviceable used
parts that are equivalent or superior to new parts performance.
Limited Warranty Alternatives: Subject to the Limitations, Exclusions and Dis-
claimers, InFocus Warrants as follows:
• 2 Year Parts and Labor Product Warranty - From the date of purchase, InFo-
cus warrants that the Product will conform to the manufacturers’ specifications
and be free from defects in material or workmanship for a period of two (2)
years.
• 1 Year Parts Only Accessory Warranty - From the date of purchase, InFocus
warrants that the customer replaceable and accessory products will conform to the
manufacturers’ specifications and be free from defects in material or workmanship
for a period of one (1) year.
• 90 Day/500 Hour Replacement Lamp Warranty - Lamp Products purchased
in projectors or separately as replacements after the original projector purchase is
Ninety (90) days or 500 hours, whichever comes first. During the Warranty period for the
Product, InFocus warrants that Replacement lamps, which are purchased at the time of projector purchase, will have a 90-day or 500 hour warranty, whichever comes first, from the date
the spare lamp is put into use.
WARRANTY LIMITATION AND EXCLUSION
THIS WARRANTY SETS FORTH INFOCUS’ MAXIMUM LIABILITY FOR ITS
PRODUCT. THIS WARRANTY EXTENDS ONLY TO PRODUCTS PURCHASED
FROM INFOCUS OR AN INFOCUS AUTHORIZED RESELLER. InFocus shall have
no further obligation under the foregoing Limited Warranty if the Product has been
damaged due to abuse, misuse, neglect, smoke exposure (cigarette or otherwise),
accident, unusual physical or electrical stress, unauthorized modifications (including
use of an unauthorized mount), tampering, alterations, or service other than by InFocus or its authorized agents, causes other than from ordinary use or failure to properly use the Product in the application for which said Product was intended.
This Warranty excludes Product or accessory cleaning, repair, or replacement of plas-
tics due to cosmetic damage and damage as a result of normal wear. Product repair
outside of the terms of the Limited Warranty will be on a time and materials basis.
Prolonged Product “demonstration” causes unusual Product wear and is not consid-
ered normal use under the terms of this Limited Warranty.
The Accessory Warranty covers the accessory item only and excludes normal wear.
The Lamp Product Warranty excludes expected lamp degradation.
Remanufactured Products and Software Products are exempt from the foregoing
Limited Warranty. Please refer to the appropriate Remanufactured Product Limited
Warranty or Software Product Limited Warranty for applicable Warranty informa-
tion.
DISCLAIMER OF UNSTATED WARRANTIES
THE WARRANTY PRINTED ABOVE IS THE ONLY WARRANTY APPLICABLE TO
THIS PRODUCT. ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUD-
ING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABIL-
ITY AND FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE DISCLAIMED. THERE ARE
NO WARRANTIES THAT EXTEND BEYOND THE DESCRIPTION ON THE FACE
HEREOF AND THE FOREGOING WARRANTY SHALL NOT BE EXTENDED,
ALTERED OR VARIED EXCEPT BY WRITTEN INSTRUMENT SIGNED BY INFO-
CUS. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG
AN IMPLIED WARRANTY MAY LAST, SO SUCH LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY
TO YOU.
58
Limited Warranty Period
The Limited Warranty period commences on the date of purchase by the end-user
customer for both the 2 year Product Warranty and the 1 year Accessory Warranty.
These Limited Warranty provisions shall apply only to the end-user purchaser (first
person or entity that purchased a new Product for personal or business use and not
for the purpose of distribution or resale).
To Be Eligible For Limited Warranty Coverage
Any person exercising a claim under this Limited Warranty must establish to the sat-
isfaction of InFocus both the date of purchase and that the Product was purchased
new. The sales receipt or invoice, showing the date of purchase of the Product or
Accessory is the proof of the date of purchase.
To Obtain Warranty Service
During the Limited Warranty period, to exercise this Limited Warranty, the purchaser
must first contact 1) InFocus, 2) a service facility authorized by InFocus or 3) the place
of original purchase.
InFocus Customer Service - 1-800-799-9911 or techsupport@infocus.com
For Warranty service, the purchaser will be advised to return or deliver the defective
Product freight and all fees prepaid, to an InFocus Service Center or to a service facility authorized by InFocus. When returning Product to InFocus, a Return Material
Authorization Number (RMA #) is required and must be clearly displayed on the outside of the shipping carton or a similar package affording an equal degree of protection. InFocus or the service facility authorized by InFocus will return the repaired/
replaced Product freight prepaid to the purchaser.
Products returned for Warranty service must be accompanied by a written letter that:
(i) explains the problem; (ii) provides proof of date of purchase; (iii) provides the
dealer’s name; and (iv) provides the model and serial number of the Product. Upon
request of InFocus Corporation or an InFocus authorized repair center receiving the
Product, proof of legal importation must accompany the warranty repair Product,
otherwise the Product must be returned to the place of original purchase, to the manufacturer (Purchaser must bear all tax, duty and freight), or the Purchaser must bear
charges for the warranty repair.
No repair or replacement of Product or part thereof shall extend the Limited War-
ranty period as to the entire Product. Warranty on the repair part and workmanship
shall only be effective for a period of ninety (90) days following the repair or replace-
ment of that part or the remaining period of the Product Limited Warranty whichever
is greater.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
IT IS UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT INFOCUS’ LIABILITY WHETHER IN
CONTRACT, IN TORT, UNDER ANY WARRANTY, IN NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER-
WISE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE RETURN OF THE AMOUNT OF THE PUR-
CHASE PRICE PAID BY PURCHASER AND UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES
SHALL INFOCUS BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CON-
SEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUES OR LOST SAV-
INGS. THE PRICE STATED FOR THE PRODUCTS IS A CONSIDERATION IN
LIMITING INFOCUS’ LIABILITY.
