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. Restricting the air flow
can cause it to overheat and turn off. If this happens, you must
wait a minute before attempting to turn it back on.
•
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.
•
Transport the projector in a vendor-approved hard or soft case.
Part numbers for these cases are listed on page 37.
If You Need Assistance
The first place to look for help is in this manual. Be sure to check
the guidelines in “Troubleshooting” on page 32.
Please contact your Toshiba dealer for details.

tion about the menus, see page 16.
Turning Off the Projector
To turn off the projector, press the Power switch. If you want to
turn the lamp back on, you must allow 90 seconds for the lamp to
cool. The lamp won’t light if it’s too hot.
NOTE: Always use the power cord
that shipped with the projector.
NOTE: The first time you connect
your computer to the projector, the
computer may display a message
stating that new hardware was
found. The Add New Hardware
Wizard may appear. Use the Wiz-
ard to load the correct driver (the
computer considers the projector a
Plug and Play Monitor).
NOTE: With some computers,
the order in which you power up
the equipment is very important.
Most computers should be turned
on last, after all other peripherals
have been turned on. Refer to your
computer’s documentation to
determine the correct order.
NOTE: To maximize lamp life,
allow the projector to run for at
least five minutes before turning
it off.

Using the Remote Control
To control the computer ’s mouse from the projector’s remote or
keypad, you must connect the mouse connector on the computer
cable to the computer. See page 7 for details.
The projector ships with a remote that has four function buttons,
a disk mouse and two mouse buttons, one on the top of the
remote and one on the bottom.
Point the remote control at the projection screen or at the front of
the projector (not at the computer). 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 projector.

Remote control
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. See “Using the Keypad and Remote Buttons” starting on
page 14 for a description of the four function buttons.
®
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).
NOTE: If the remote is inactive
for several minutes, it “sleeps” to
conserve battery life. Press any
button except the disk mouse to
re-activate the remote.

MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING
This section describes how to:
•
clean the lens
•
replace the projection lamp
•
replace the batteries in the remote
•
use the security lock feature
•
troubleshoot the projector
Cleaning the Lens
Follow these steps to clean the projection lens:
Apply a non-abrasive camera lens cleaner to a soft, dry cloth.
1
•
Avoid using an excessive amount of cleaner, and don’t
apply the cleaner directly to the lens.
•
Abrasive cleaners, solvents or other harsh chemicals might
scratch the lens.
Lightly wipe the cleaning cloth over the lens in a circular
2
motion.
If you don’t intend to use the projector immediately, replace
3
the lens cap.
Replacing the Projection Lamp
The lamp hour counter in the Status menu counts the number of
hours the lamp has been in use. Change the lamp when the
brightness is no longer acceptable. You can order new lamp modules from your InFocus dealer. See “Accessories” on page 36 for
information.
Follow these steps to replace the projection lamp:
Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord.
1
Wait 30 minutes to allow the projector to cool thoroughly.
2
WARNING: To avoid burns,
allow the projector to cool for at
least 30 minutes before you open
the lamp access grill. Never
extract the lamp module while the
projector is operating.
27
Maintenance & Troubleshooting
Insert a small screwdriver or other flat object into the slot near
3
the front of the projector. Slide the screwdriver toward the
back of the projector to disengage the lamp access grill, then
slide the lamp access grill off (away from the lens).
WARNING: Be extremely careful
when removing the lamp module.
In the unlikely event that the bulb
ruptures, small glass fragments
may be generated. The lamp
module is designed to contain
these fragments, but use caution
when removing the lamp module.
CAUTION: Never operate the
projector with the lamp access grill
removed. This disrupts the air flow
and causes the projector to
overheat.

1
Push the tab on the battery door toward the top of the remote
2
and lift the door off.
Remove the old batteries and dispose of them in an environ-
3
mentally proper manner.

each in the correct direction.
Insert the hooks on the battery door into the remote and press
5
the tab to re-install the door.
Using the Security Lock
The projector has a security connector for use with a PC Guardian
Cable Lock System (Figure 25). See “Optional Accessories” on
page 37 for ordering information. Refer to the information that
came with the lock for instructions on how to use it to secure the
projector.

functional AC electrical outlet. Make sure that the power cord
is also properly connected to the projector.
•
If the projector is plugged into a power strip, make sure the
power strip is turned on.
•
Make sure the projector is turned on.
Problem: Projector is running, but nothing appears on projection screen
•
Make sure you have removed the lens cap on the projection
lens at the front of the projector.
•
Check the projector’s lamp to ensure that it is securely con-
nected in the lamp module. Make sure the lamp access grill is
installed. See “Replacing the Projection Lamp” on page 27.
Problem: Only the start-up screen displays
•
Verify that the cables are connected correctly. See page 7 for
connection procedures.
•
Make sure that the cables do not have any bent pins.

Using Video Mirroring with a PowerBook Computer
When you turn video mirroring (called SimulScan in newer PowerBooks—see below) on, 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, then 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.
