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 the power cord provided. A surge-protected power strip is 
recommended. Refer to this guide for proper startup and shutdown procedures.Wa r n i n g : Hg – Lamp contains mercury. Manage in accordance 
with local disposal laws. See www.lamprecycle.org. In the unlikely event of a lamp rupture, particles may exit through the 
projector side vents. When the projector is turned on, keep people, 
food, and drinks out of the keep out area around the projector, as 
indicated by the X area below.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 booklet.

LEDsThe Lamp LED on top of the projector (
page
 16) will alert you to certain 
problems. A solid red Lamp LED means it is time to change the lamp. See 
page
 27.
A blinking red Lamp LED means different things based on the number of 
“blinks”. After blinking 1-5 times, the light turns off for 2 seconds, then the 
blinking repeats.
 1 blink, lamp won’t turn on: Turn the projector off for at least one 
minute, then turn it on again. If the blinking continues, the lamp may 
need to be replaced. 2 blinks: Remaining lamp life is low. Replace the lamp, see 
page
 27.
 3 or 4 blinks: Unexpected shut down (3 blinks) or fan failure (4 
blinks). Turn the projector off for at least one minute, then turn it on 
again. If the blinking continues, the projector may require service; go 
to www.infocus.com/support. 5 blinks: The projector is overheating. Turn the projector off and 
remove anything that may be blocking its air vents. Leave the projec
-
tor off for at least one minute to let it cool before turning it on again. 
Important: Continuous operation at high temperature may reduce the 
lifetime of the lamp and/or projector.
The other LED on top of the projector indicates the normal operating state 
of the projector.
 A solid green LED means the projector is on. A blinking green LED means the lamp is turning on. A green “blip” 
means the projector is in Screen Save or Power Save mode. A blinking amber LED means the lamp is either warming up or cool
-
ing down to enter standby mode; a solid amber LED means the pro
-
jector is in standby mode.
