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 fl at surface at a right angle to the screen. The projector 
must be at least 39.4” (1.0 m) from the projection screen.
• If you are installing the projector on the ceiling, we strongly recommend using  InFocus approved ceiling mounts for proper  fitting, ventilation and installation. 
Refer to the installation guide that comes with the InFocus Ceiling Mount Kit (p/n 
PRJ-MNT-UNIV) for more information. The warranty does not cover any damage 
caused by use of non-approved ceiling mount  kits or by installing in an improper 
location. To turn the image upside down, see “Ceiling mount” on page 28. We 
recommend using an InFocus  authorized ceiling mount.
• Position the projector the desired dist ance from the screen. The distance from the 
lens of the projector to the screen and the video format determine the size of the 
projected image.

Connecting a computer source
VGA connection
Connect one end of the provided computer cable to th Computer 1/Computer 2 
connector on the projector and the other to the VGA 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 an HDM I cable into the video-out connector on 
the video device and into the  HDMI connector on the projector.
Connecting power
Connect the black power cord to the  Power connector on the rear of the projector 
and to your electrical outlet. If the Powe r Saving Mode feature is off, the Power 
LED on the Status Indicator Panel ( page 12) blinks green. If the Power Saving 
Mode feature is on, the Power LED is steady  amber
 . By default, this feature is off. 
You can change the setting, see  page 29. NOTE : Always use the power cord that 
shipped with the projector.
Optional computer connections
To get sound from the projector, connect  an audio cable (optional cable, not 
included) to your computer and to th  Audio 1/Audio 2 connector on the projector. 
You may also need an adapter.
If you are using a desktop computer and want to see the image on your computer 
scr
 een as well as on the projection screen , connect to the desktop’s computer cable 
to Computer 1 and the desk top’s monitor cable to the Monitor Out connector on 
the projector.
