Important Operating Considerations for Safety
•Place the projector in a horizontal positi on no 
 greater than 15 degrees off axis.
• Locate the projector in a well-ventila ted area 
 without any obstructions to 
intake or exhaust vents. Do not place th e 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.
• Only genuine InFocus lamps are tested for  use in 
 this projector. InFocus is not 
liable for the performance, safety or certification of any other lamps. The use 
of other lamps violates the projector wa rranty and voids all certification marks 
on this projector.
• Use only the power cord provided. A surge-protected power strip is  recommended.
• Refer to this guide for proper  startu
 p and shutdown procedures.
• Hg – Lamp contains mercury. Manage in  a
 ccordance with local disposal laws. 
See  www.lamprecycle.org .
• In the unlikely event of a lamp rupture,  particles may ex
 it through the projector 
side vents. When the projector is turned  on, keep people, food, and drinks out 
of the keep out area under and around th e projector, as indicated by the X 
areas below.

Follow these instructions to help ensure image quality and lamp life over the life of 
the projector. Failure to follow these in
structions may affect the warranty. For

Positioning the projector
To determine where to position the projector, consider the size and shape of your 
screen, the location of your power outlets, and the distance between the projector 
and the rest of your equipment.  Here are some general guidelines:
• Position the projector on a flat surface  at a right angle to the screen. The 
projector must be at least 4.9 feet  (1.5m) from the projection screen.
• Position the projector within 10 feet (3m)  
 of your power source and within 6 
feet (1.8m) of your video device (unl ess you purchase extension cables). To 
ensure adequate cable acce ss, do not place the projector within 6 inches (.15m) 
of a wall or other object.
• Position the projector the  de
 sired distance from the screen. The distance from 
the lens of the projector to the screen,  the zoom setting, and the video format 
determine the size of the projected image.
• The image exits the projector at a give n angle. 
 IN1110a image offset is 115%; 
IN1112a image offset is 112.4%. This  means that if you have an image 10’ 
high, the bottom of the image will be  1.5 (IN1110a) and 1.24 (IN1112a) above 
the center of the lens.

Connecting a computer source
VESA connection
Connect one end of the provided computer cable to the Computer connector on the 
projector and the other to the VESA connector on your computer. If you are using a 
desktop computer, you will need to  disconnect the monitor cable from the 
computer’s video port first.
HDMI connection
HDMI is a standard, uncompressed, all- digital audio/video interface. HDMI 
provides an interface betw een sources, such as set-top boxes, DVD players, and 
receivers and your projector. Plug a HDMI ca ble into the video out connector on the 
video device and into the  HDMI connector on the projector.
To take advantage of HDMI 1.4 Deep Colo r (30
  bit) and Blue-Ray 3D, you must 
have an 1.4-compatible source.
Power connection
Connect the black power cord to the  Power connector on the side of the projector 
and to your electrical outlet. The Power  light on the Status Indicator Panel (page 11 ) 
turns amber.
NOTE: Always use 
 the power cord that shipped with the projector.
