Important Operating Considerations for Safety
 Place the projector in a horizontal position 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.
 Use only the power cord provided. A surge-protected power strip is 
recommended. 
 Refer to this manual for proper startup and shutdown procedures.
 In the unlikely event of the lamp rupturing, discard any edible items 
placed in the surrounding area and thoroughly clean the area along all 
sides of the projector. Wash hands after cleaning the area and handling 
the ruptured lamp. 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
.
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 section at 
the end of this users guide.

 one M1-D (HD, DVI, and computer)
 two VESA (HD, HD component, and computer)
one component RCA
 one S-video

stant output while the projector is on. If you connect your projection screen 
to the trigger with an optional cable, when you turn on the projector the 
screen will move down; when you turn the projector off, the screen will 
return to the storage position. You must turn this feature on in the System 
menu to use it. See page 34.Wireless ProjectionYou can use the projector ’s M1 connector along with the InFocus

Connecting a computerRequired computer connectionsConnect one end of the computer cable to the Computer 2 connector on the 
projector. Connect the other 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 computers 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.
NOTE: Always use the power cable that shipped with the projector. Optional computer connectionsTo control your computer ’s mouse using the projector ’s remote control, con-
nect the USB cable to the USB connector on the projector and on your com-
puter. USB drivers must be installed to use the USB feature. For more 
information, see page 11. If your computer has a PS/2 connector, connect an 
optional PS/2 cable to the PS/2 connector on the projector and on your com-
puter. The USB input is for Computer 2, the PS/2 input is for Computer 3.
To have sound with your presentation, connect the audio cable to your com-
puter and to the computer 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 computer to the projector with an optional 
M1-D cable, connect one end of that cable to the M1 port on your computer, 
and connect the other end to the Computer 1 connector on the projector.
You can control the projector from an LCD control panel or computer by 
connecting an RS-232 cable to the projector ’s Serial connector. Specific 
RS-232 commands can be found in the Service and Support section of our 
website.
The projector can be managed by ProjectorNet networking software 
through its Network connector. 
Contact an authorized dealer or visit our website for information on 
ProjectorNet.
