 Be extremely careful when removing the lamp housing. In the unlikely 
event that the lamp ruptures, small glass fragments may be generated. 
The lamp module is designed to contain most of these fragments, but 
use caution when removing it. Before replacing a ruptured lamp, clean 
the lamp compartment and dispose of cleaning materials. Wash hands 
after lamp replacement. This product has a lamp which contains a very 
small amount of mercury. Dispose of it as required by local, state or fed-
eral ordinances and regulations. For more information see 
www.eiae.org.5
Detach the lamp connector from the projector by gently pulling the con-
nector until it is disconnected from the projector.
6
Carefully remove the lamp module by grasping and lifting the metal 
bail wire. Dispose of the lamp in an environmentally proper manner. 
7
Install the new lamp module, making sure that it is properly seated. Be 
careful not to touch the interior components of the projector.
8
Snap the bail wire back into its flat position against the lamp module.
9
Re-attach the lamp connector to the projector. Make sure the connector is 
fully inserted.
10
Tighten the screw on the lamp module.
11
Replace the lamp door.
12
Plug in the power cable then press the Powe r button to turn the projec-
tor back on, then reset the lamp hour timer. 
Resetting the lamp timerIf the lamp timer has reached the maximum number of hours for the projec-
tor lamp, the LED on the projector ’s keypad will show a lamp error (see 
“LED behavior and meaning” on page 16). To reset the lamp timer, press the 
decrease volume button on the keypad and the increase volume button 
simultaneously for 10 seconds. You can also navigate to the Settings>Ser-
vice menu and select Lamp Reset to reset the lamp timer.

Cleaning the lamp filter screensIn dirty or dusty environments, the dust filter screens on the lamp module 
and lamp door and in the lamp compartment
 can become clogged, causing 
high temperatures inside the lamp module. These high temperatures can 
impact lamp performance and operating life. Routine maintenance to 
remove dust and dirt from the screens lowers the lamp operating tempera-
ture and prolongs lamp life. To maximize lamp life you will need to clean 
the screens every 250 hours. Lamp screen maintenance may need to occur 
more often than 250 hours depending on your installation/use environ-
ment.
1
Remove the lamp module. Refer to page 40 for instructions.
2
Examine the dust filter screens on each side of the lamp module. If nec-
essary, use compressed or canned air to clean the screens. Then use a 
cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol to lightly wipe each screen. 
After youve wiped each screen, blow away any remaining contami-
nants.
3
Before you replace the lamp, repeat the cleaning process on the screen in 
the lamp compartment in the projector.
4
Examine the dust filter screen on the lamp door. If necessary, use com-
pressed or canned air to clean the screen. 
5
Replace the lamp module and lamp door.

Limited Warranty
Subject to the Limitations, Exclusions and Disclaimers hereof, InFocus Cor-
poration (“InFocus”) warrants that the Projector, Lamps and Accessories 
(hereinafter collectively or individually referred to as “Product” as appro-
priate) purchased from InFocus, an InFocus distributor, or an InFocus 
reseller will conform to InFocus’ specifications and be free from defects in 
material or workmanship for the respective Limited Warranty period pro-
vided below. InFocus does not warrant that the Product will meet the spe-
cific requirements of the end-user customer.
If the Product while subject to this Limited Warranty, is defective in material 
or workmanship during the warranty period, then InFocus, at its option, 
will REPAIR or REPLACE the Product.
All exchanged parts and Products replaced under this Limited Warranty 
will become property of InFocus. InFocus sole obligation is to supply (or 
pay for) all labor necessary to repair the Product found to be defective 
within the Limited 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 periods 
are as follows: 
Projector Product Limited Warranty Period (Excluding Lamps)
: 
Two (2) years from date of purchase. 
Lamp Product Limited Warranty Periods
: From the date of Projector 
Product purchase, the original installed lamp shall have a 90-day or 500 
hours usage Limited Warranty Period, whichever comes first.
Replacement Lamps purchased at the time of Projector Product pur-
chase will have a 90-day or 500 hours usage Limited Warranty Period 
from the date of installation, whichever comes first.
Replacement lamps purchased after the time of Projector Product pur-
chase shall have a 90-day or 500 hours usage Limited Warranty Period 
from the date of replacement lamp purchase, whichever comes first. 
Accessory Product Limited Warranty Period
: one (1) year from date 
of purchase. WARRANTY LIMITATION AND EXCLUSION
THIS WARRANTY SETS FORTH INFOCUS’ MAXIMUM LIABILITY FOR 
ITS PRODUCT. THIS WARRANTY EXTENDS ONLY TO PRODUCTS PUR-
CHASED FROM INFOCUS OR AN INFOCUS AUTHORIZED RESELLER. 
InFocus shall have no further obligation under the foregoing Limited War-
ranty 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 prop-
erly use the Product in the application for which said Product was intended.
This Limited Warranty excludes Product cleaning, repair, or replacement of 
plastics 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 considered normal use under the terms of 
this Limited Warranty.
The Accessory Product Limited Warranty covers the accessory item only 
and excludes normal wear. The Lamp Product Limited Warranty excludes 
expected lamp degradation.
Remanufactured Products and Software Products are exempt from the fore-
going Limited Warranty. Please refer to the appropriate Remanufactured 
Product Limited Warranty or Software Product Limited Warranty for appli-
cable Warranty information.

CABLE TO THIS PRODUCT. ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR 
IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WAR-

uct for personal or business use and not for the purpose of distribution or

Warranty period as to the entire Product. Warranty on the repair part and 
workmanship shall only be effective for a period of ninety (90) days follow-
ing the repair or replacement 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 OTHERWISE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE RETURN OF

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL INFOCUS BE LIABLE FOR SPE-
CIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR 
LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUES OR LOST SAVINGS. THE PRICE 
STATED FOR THE PRODUCTS IS A CONSIDERATION IN LIMITING
