Care of the projector
Your projector needs little maintenance. The only thing you need to do on a regular 
basis is to keep the lens clean.
Never remove any parts of the projector except the lamp. If your projector needs 
service, contact InFocus Corporation (www.infocus.com/support) or your dealer for 
assistance.
Cleaning the lens
Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface. 
 Use a canister of compressed air to remove dust.
 If there is dirt or smears, use lens-cleaning paper or moisten a soft cloth with 
lens cleaner and gently wipe the lens surface.
CAUTION
Never rub the lens with abrasive materials.
Cleaning the projector case
Before you clean the case, turn the projector off using the proper shutdown 
procedure as described in Shutting down the projector on page 36 and unplug the 
power cord.
 To remove dirt or dust, wipe the case with a soft, lint-free cloth.
 To remove stubborn dirt or stains, moisten a soft cloth with water and a neutral 
pH detergent. Then wipe the case.
CAUTION
Never use wax, alcohol, benzene, thinner or other chemical detergents. These can damage the 
case.
Storing the projector

Lamp information
Getting to know the lamp hour
When the projector is in operation, the duration (in hours) of lamp usage is 
automatically calculated by the built-in timer. The timer displays lamp hours used in 
Normal mode, plus equivalent Economic mode hours. Equivalent Economic 
mode hours are calculated as follows:
1 lamp hour (in Normal mode) = 1.33 lamp hours (in Economic mode)
See Setting Lamp mode as Economic below for more information on Economic mode.
To obtain the lamp hour information:
1. Press MENU/EXIT and then press  /  until the SYSTEM SETUP: 
Advanced menu is highlighted.
2. Press  to highlight Lamp Settings and press MODE/ENTER. The Lamp 
Settings page displays.
3. You will see the Equivalent lamp hour information displaying on the menu.
4. To leave the menu, press MENU/EXIT.
You can also get the lamp hour information on the INFORMATION menu.
Extending lamp life
The projection lamp is a consumable item. To keep the lamp life as long as 
possible, you can do the following settings via the OSD menu.
Setting Lamp mode as Economic
Using Economic mode reduces system noise and power consumption by 20%. If 
the Economic mode is selected, the light output will be reduced and result in 
darker projected pictures.
Setting the projector in Economic mode also extends the lamp operation life. To set 
Economic mode, go into the SYSTEM SETUP: Advanced > Lamp Settings > 
Lamp mode menu and press  / .
Setting Auto Power Off
This function allows the projector to turn off automatically if no input source is 
detected after a set period of time to prevent unnecessary waste of lamp life.
To set Auto Power Off, go into the SYSTEM SETUP: Basic > Auto Power Off 
menu and press  / . The time period can be set from 5 to 30 minutes in 5-minute 
increments. If the preset time lengths are not suitable for your presentation, select
