LiteBoard™ Wand
The optional LiteBoard™ Wand (p/n HW-LBWAND-02), when combined with 
the LiteBoard Wand dongle (p/n HW-L BRADIO), works like a wireless mouse - 
but one that works in midair, not on your desktop. Just hold the wand in your 
hand, and point it at the projected image to point, click and drag. The wand works 
with all your software, just like a regular mouse.
Charging the Wand’s Battery
When the wand’s red battery light starts to blink, its internal battery is low (if the 
battery is fully discharged, you won’t be able to turn the wand on by pressing its 
tip, left or right mouse buttons).
To charge the battery, open the flap on the right side of the wand to expose the 
wand’s USB connector. Then connect a USB cable between the wand and a USB 
power adapter (not included), or a computer (if connecting to a computer, make 
sure the computer is powered on). The battery light will stay on while the battery 
is charging, then it will turn off when the battery is fully charged.
When charging is finished, you can disconnect the USB cable (or keep the cable 
connected and use the wand while it’s charging).
NOTE : 5-10 minutes of charging is enough for about an hour of wand use. A full 
charge will take 3-4 hours and will allow 20-40 hours of non-stop wand use. A fully 
charged, new wand will hold a charge in standby for up to 3 weeks.
Caution : The lithium battery is only rechargeable, and is not user serviceable or 
user replaceable.
Caution : Always use a USB cable and power ad apter (or your computer) to charge 
the wand.
How to Use the Wand
1Connect the LiteBoard™ Wand dongle (p/n HW-LBRADIO) to the  LiteBoard 
Radio  connector of the projector.
2The projector needs to be powered on and connected to your computer.
3Connect the projector and your computer with a USB cable (USB Type A to 
USB Type B).
4Connect the projector and your computer with a VGA cable.
5Make sure the wands battery is charged or charging.
6Turn on the projector and make sure it s displaying the computers screen - 
set the source to Computer 1 or Computer 2 (press the source button on the 
projector or its remote if needed - you may need to press it several times).
7Enable the LiteBoard™ Wand in the Advanced Menu > Setup > Keypad/
Remote menu.
8Turn on the wand by pressing its tip, left or right mouse button - 2 blinks of 
the blue status light means the wand is searching for a connection. When 
connected the light will be lighted continuously.
9Point the wand at the screen to point, click, and drag - just like a normal 
mouse.
NOTE : When you’re done, set the wand aside and make sure it isn’t pointing at 
the screen; it will turn itself off automatically after 1 minute.

Wand Position and Avoiding Shadows
Your Location Distance from the Screen
You can use the LiteBoard™ Wand right up against the screen, or around the 
room. You might find that your pointing accuracy will improve if you get closer to 
the screen. Also, avoid standing too far off from either side of the screen.
Avoid Shadows!
The wand wont work if its sensor is in a shadow or if it is pointing at a shadow:
Correct (no shadow)Incorrect (shadow)
How to Hold the Wand
You can hold the wand the way you would hold a normal pencil or pen, or you can 
hold it like a remote control - use in wh ichever position is most comfortable. 
NOTE:  If the wand is up close to the sc reen, you can press its tip against the 
projection surface to click and drag.  Not recommended for use with fabric 
screens.
Using More than One Wand
The projector can work with two wands at the same time.
1Enter the Keypad/Remote menu under  Advanced Menu> Setup > Keypad/
Remote menu.
2Scroll to the LiteBoard™ Wand function.
3Select the desired setting:
None = No Liteboard Wand (Default)
Single = Use 1 Liteboard Wand
Dual = Use 2 Liteboard Wands
When you want to switch to a different wand:
1Point the current wand away from the  projected image for at least 3 seconds.
2Press the tip, left or right button on the new wand to turn it on, and then start 
using the new wand.

Troubleshooting LiteBoard™
For the most up-to-date information, visit our support site at www.infocus.com/
support
• If the wand doesnt work at all, or it works intermittently, try one of these 
solutions::
- Press the tip, left or right button on the wand to turn it on.
- If the wands blue Link light never blinks, then the wands battery is fully dis-
charged; connect the wand to a USB power adapter (not included) or your 
computer.
- Make sure the wand is not pointing at a shadow and make sure its tip is not 
in a shadow.
- If the room is brightly lit, reduce the room illumination.
- If youre trying to use the computers mouse at the same time as the wand, 
point the wand away from the screen while using the mouse.
- Reset the wand: push the end of a paper clip into the reset opening on the 
underside of the wand.
• If accurate clicking is difficult, try one of these solutions:
- Hold the wand steadier when clicking.
- Use the wand right up against the screen so its easier to avoid unexpected 
movements.
• If the mouse pointer is in the wrong place on the screen, or the mouse 
pointers movement is restricted to only part of the screen, try one of these 
solutions:
- Make sure your projector is displaying the computers screen and not some 
other source (such as DVD, VCR, etc.). To change the source, press the 
Source button on the projector or its remote.
- Make sure the projector is displaying the same image as the computers main 
or built-in monitor (dont extend your desktop onto multiple monitors). To 
correct this:
On Windows XP: Open the Display control panel, click Settings, click the dis-
play that represents the projector, then un-check “Extend my Windows desk-
top...”.
On Windows Vista: Right-click on the desktop, choose Personalize..., click 
Display Settings, click the display that represents the projector, then un-check 
“Extend the desktop...”.
On both Windows 7 and Windows 8: Right-click on the desktop, choose 
Screen Resolution, click the display that represents the projector, and then 
choose the “Duplicate Display...” under Multiple Displays.
On Macintosh: Select System Preferences from the Apple Menu, then select 
Displays. Click Arrangement, and check “Mirror Displays.”
• If the battery light does not turn on when the wand is being charged, try one 
of the following:
- Make sure a USB cable is connected between the wand and either a USB 
power adapter (not included), or a USB port on your computer.
- If the wand is connected to a USB power adapter (not included), make sure 
the adapter is plugged in to a live electrical outlet. If the wand is connected to 
your computer, make sure the computer is powered on.
- If the wand still wont charge, contact InFocus support at: www.infocus.com/
support.

Maintenance
Cleaning the lens
1Apply a non-abrasive camera lens cleaner to a soft, dry cloth.
•Projector must be off and the lens must be at room temperature.
• Avoid using an excessive amount of cleaner, and don’t apply the cleaner 
directly to the lens. Abrasive cleaners, solvents or other harsh chemicals 
might scratch the lens.
2Lightly wipe the cleaning cloth over the lens in a circular motion.
WARNINGS:
•Turn the projector off and unplug power cord before cleaning any part of 
the projector.
• Do not touch or block the projector lens with any objects as this can 
damage the projector lens. Scratches,  gouges and other lens damage are not 
covered by the product warranty.
• Do not open any cover on the projector, except the lamp cover.
• Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening and removing 
covers may expose you to dangerous voltage and other hazards. Refer all 
servicing to qualified service personnel.
Using the security lock

Replacing the projection lamp
The Lamp Hours timer in the Projector Info menu counts the number of hours the 
lamp has been in use.
•NOTE: Be sure to use the InFocus lamp module designed for this projector. 
You can order new lamps from www.infocus.com (in select areas), your 
retailer or your dealer. Only genuine InFocus lamps are tested for use in this 
projector. Use of non InFocus lamps may cause electrical shock and fire, and 
may void the projector warranty.  InFocus is not liable for the performance, 
safety or certification of any other lamps.
WARNINGS:
• The projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp.  The lamp may fail 
prematurely, or it may rupture with a popping sound if jolted, scratched, or 
handled while hot.  The risk of lamp failure or rupture also increases as the 
lamp age increases; please replace the lamp when you see the “Replace Lamp” 
message.
• To avoid burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 60 minutes before you 
replace the lamp.
• Do not touch or block the projector lens with any objects as this can damage 
the projector lens. Scratches, gouges and other lens damage are not covered 
by the product warranty. 
• Unplug the power cord before replacing the lamp.
• Do not drop the lamp module. The glass may shatter and cause injury.
• Do not touch the glass surface of the lamp module. Fingerprints can obscure 
projection sharpness and may cause the glass to shatter.
• Be extremely careful when removing the lamp housing. In the unlikely event 
that the lamp ruptures, small glass fragments may be generated. The lamp 
module is designed to contain most of these fragments, but use caution when 
removing it. 
• Before replacing a ruptured lamp, clean the lamp compartment and dispose of 
cleaning materials. Wash hands after lamp replacement. 
• When replacing the lamp while the projector is ceiling-mounted, wear 
protective eyewear to prevent eye injury.
Hg – Lamp contains mercury. Manage in accordance with local disposal 
laws. See www.lamprecycle.org.
