SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Please read and follow all safety instructions provided BEFORE using your new projector. Failure to comply with safety instructions may result in fire, electrical shock, or personal injury and may damage or impair protection provided by equipment. Please save all safety instructions. Safety Definitions: • Warning: Statements identify conditions or practices that could result in personal injury.
S a f e t y I n s t r u c t i o n s • Caution: Don’t set liquids on the projector. Spilled liquids may damage your projector. • Caution: Don’t place the projector on a hot surface or in direct sunlight. • Caution: Do not drop the projector. Transport the projector in an InFocus-approved case; see page 41 for a list of cases. Important Operating Considerations Do not place the projector on a tablecloth or other soft covering that may block the vents.

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.
I n t r o d u c t i o n Warranty This product is backed by a limited two-year warranty. The details of the warranty are printed at the back of this manual. An extended warranty plan may be purchased from your InFocus dealer, any time during the original two year warranty period. Refer to page 41 for the part number.
SETTING UP THE PROJECTOR 1 Place the projector on a flat surface. • The projector must be within 6 feet (1.8 m) of your power source and your computer. • If you want to project from behind a translucent screen, set up the projector behind your screen. See “Rear” on page 25 to reverse the image. • 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 25.
S e t t i n g u p t h e P r o j e c t o r NOTE: Before you continue, make sure the projector and all other equipment is turned off. If you’re connecting a computer, make sure the distance between it S-video video and the projector is 6 feet or less. FIGURE 5 Connector panel NOTE: If you are connecting an older Macintosh computer that does not have a 15-pin connector, you must use a Mac adaptor between the computer and the projector. See “Optional Accessories” on page 41.
Connecting a Computer 1 Plug one end of the computer cable into the blue “Computer VGA” connector on the projector. 2 Plug the other end of the computer cable into the monitor connector on your computer. If you are using a desktop computer, you need to disconnect your monitor cable from your computer. NOTE: Many laptop computers do not automatically turn on their external video port when a secondary display device such as a projector is connected.
S e t t i n g u p t h e P r o j e c t o r Do you want to control the computer’s mouse from the projector’s remote? If your computer has a PS/2 connector, use the PS/2 mouse cable. 1 Plug the green end of the PS/2 mouse cable into the mouse connector on your computer. 2 Plug the black end of the PS/2 mouse cable into the “PS2/RS-232” connector on the projector. If your computer has a USB connector and is running Windows 98, use the USB mouse cable.
Connecting a Video Player If your video device (VCR, DVD player, video camera) uses a round, one-prong composite video connector, use the composite audio/video (A/V) cable provided. The end with 2 connectors attaches to the projector, the other end attaches to the video device. • If your video device uses a round, four-prong S-video con- nector, use an S-video cable. S-video generates a higher quality image.
S e t t i n g u p t h e P r o j e c t o r 3 Plug the A/V cable’s white connector into the left “audio out” connector on your video device. Plug the cable’s red connector into the right “audio out” connector on the video device. 4 Plug the blue end of the A/V cable into the “Audio in” connector on the projector. CAUTION: Your video player may also have a “Video Out” connector for a coaxial cable connection. DO NOT use this to connect to the projector.
Powering up the Projector 1 Remove the lens cap. 2 Plug the power cord into the back of the projector, then plug it into your electrical outlet. A surge-protected power strip is recommended. NOTE: Always use the power cord that shipped with the projector. • The LED on the top of the projector (Figure 11 on page 18) lights orange after a few seconds. 3 After the LED lights orange, press the Power button on the projector’s keypad or remote.
S e t t i n g u p t h e P r o j e c t o r Turning Off the Projector To turn off the projector, press the Power button. A dialog box appears, asking for confirmation. Press the Power button again to turn the lamp off. The fans continue to run for a minute, then the projector shuts off. 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.
