TROUBLESHOOTING 
Common Problems and Solutions 
These guidelines provide tips to deal with problems you may encounter while using the projector. If 
the problem remains unsolved, contact InFocus at www.infocus.com/support. 
Often the problem is traced to something as simple as a loose connection. Check the following before 
proceeding to problem-specific solutions. 
 Use another electrical device to confirm that the electrical outlet is working. 
 Ensure the projector is turned on. 
 Ensure all connections are securely attached.  
 Ensure the attached device is turned on. 
 Ensure a connected PC is not in standby mode. 
 Ensure a connected notebook computer is configured for an external display. 
(This is usually done by pressing a Fn-key combination on the notebook. Go to 
www.infocus.com/support and the Learn tab to review the Laptop Activation chart.) 
Tips for Troubleshooting 
In each problem-specific section, try the steps in the order suggested. This may help you to solve the 
problem more quickly. 
Try to pinpoint the problem and avoid replacing non-defective parts.

Image Problems 
Problem: No image appears on the screen 
1. Verify the settings on your notebook or desktop PC. 
2. Turn off all equipment and power up again in the correct order. 
3. Many  laptops  do  not  automatically  turn  on  their  external  video  port  when  a  projector  is 
connected.  Usually  a  key  combination  like FN  +  F8 or  CRT/LCD  key  turns  the  external 
display  on  and  off.  Locate  a  function  key  labeled  CRT/LCD  or  function  key  with  a  monitor 
symbol. Press FN and the labeled function key simultaneously. 
Problem: The image is blurred  
1. Adjust the Focus on the projector. 
2. Press the Auto button on the remote control. 
3. Ensure  the  projector-to-screen  distance  is within the  projection  range.  (Within  7m/23  for 
the standard lens; within 20m/66 for the long lens and within 3m/10 for the short lens). 
4. Check that the projector lens is clean. 
Problem: The image is wider at the top or bottom (trapezoid effect)  
1. Position the projector so it is as perpendicular to the screen as possible.  
2. Use the Keystone buttons on the remote control or projector to correct the problem.  
						

							— 48 —

2. To  ensure  the  problem  is  not  caused by  a  connected  PC’s  video  card,  connect  to  another 
computer.  
Problem: The image is flat with no contrast  
Adjust the Contrast setting on the Image menu of the OSD. 
Problem: The color of the projected image does not match the source image. 
Adjust the Color Temperature and Gamma settings on the Image->Advanced menu of the 
OSD.

4. If you have replaced the lamp recently, try resetting the lamp connections.  
5. Replace the lamp module. 
6. Put the old lamp back in the projector and have the projector serviced. 
Problem: The lamp goes off 
1. Power surges can cause the lamp to turn off. Unplug and re-plug the power cord and 
press the Power button. 
2. If the lamp still does not ignite, unplug the projector and allow it to cool for 60 minutes. 
Replace the lamp.

HDMI Q & A 
Q. What is the difference between a “Standard” HDMI cable and a “High-Speed” HDMI 
cable? 
Recently,  HDMI Licensing, LLC  announced  that  cables  would  be  tested  as  Standard  or  High-
Speed cables.  
˙Standard  (or  “category  1”)  HDMI  cables  have  been  tested  to  perform  at  speeds  of  75Mhz  or 
up to 2.25Gbps, which is the equivalent of a 720p/1080i signal.  
˙High Speed (or “category 2”) HDMI cables have been tested to perform at speeds of 340Mhz 
or up to 10.2Gbps, which is the highest bandwidth currently available over an HDMI cable and 
can  successfully  handle  1080p  signals  including  those  at  increased  color  depths  and/or 
increased refresh  rates  from  the  Source.  High-Speed  cables  are  also  able  to  accommodate 
higher resolution displays, such as WQXGA cinema monitors (resolution of 2560 x 1600). 
 
Q. How do I run HDMI cables longer than 10 meters? 
There  are  many  HDMI  Adapters  working  on HDMI  solutions  that  extend  a  cable’s  effective 
distance  from  the  typical  10  meter  range  to  much  longer  lengths.  These  companies 
manufacture  a  variety  of  solutions  that  include  active  cables  (active  electronics  built  into 
cables  that  boost  and  extend  the  cable’s  signal),  repeaters,  amplifiers  as  well  as  CAT5/6  and 
fiber solutions. 
 
Q. How can I tell if a cable is an HDMI certified cable? 
All  HDMI  products  are  required  to  be  certified  by  the  manufacturer  as  part  of  the  HDMI 
Compliance  Test  Specification.  However,  there  may  be  instances  where  cables  bearing  the 
HDMI  logo  are  available  but  have  not  been  properly  tested.  HDMI  Licensing,  LLC  actively 
investigates  these  instances  to  ensure  that  the  HDMI  trademark  is  properly  used  in  the 
market.  We  recommend  that  consumers  buy  their  cables  from  a  reputable  source  and  a 
company that is trusted.
