Important Operating Considerations for Safety
• Refer to this guide for proper startup and shutdown procedures.
• Follow all warnings and cautions in this manual and on the projector.
• Do not block the lens with any object while the projector is being used. 
Bl
 ocking the light path can cause  overheating and result in fire.
• Place the projector in a horizontal position no greater than 8 degrees off axis.
• Locate the projector at least 4 (1.2m) away from any heating or cooling vents.
• Do not block ventilation openings. Locate the projector in a well-ventilated  ar
 ea without obstructions to intake or exhaust vents. Do not place the 
projector on a tablecloth or other so ft covering that may block the vents.
• Do not place the projector in direct sunlight, humid, greasy or dusty places or  in
  places where the projector may come into contact with smoke or steam.
• Do not look directly into the lens while the projector is being used.
• Do not drop the projector.
• Do not spill liquid on the projector. Spilled liquid may damage the projector.
• Use the power cord provided. Connect the power cord to a receptacle with a  pr
 otective safety (earth) ground terminal. A surge-protected power strip is 
recommended.
• Do not overload wall outlets.
• When disconnecting the power cord, hold the plug, not the cord.
• Wash hands after handling the cables supplied with this product.
• The projector remote control uses batteries. Make sure the batteries’ polarity  (+/-)
  is aligned correctly. Dispose of us ed batteries in accordance with local 
disposal laws.
• Use an InFocus approved ceiling mount kit for proper fitting, ventilation and  ins
 tallation.  The warranty does not cover any damage caused by use of non-
approved ceiling mount kits or by installing in an improper location. 
• When the projector is ceiling mounted, wear protective eyewear to prevent  e
 ye injury before opening lamp door. • The projector must be installed by a qualified professional in order to ensure 
pr
 oper operation and reduce the risk of hazards or injury. It is not 
recommended you install the projector yourself.
• Refer all service to qualified service personnel. Servicing your own projector  c
 an be dangerous to you and will void the warranty.
• Only use replacement parts specified by InF
 ocus.  Unauthorized substitutions 
may result in fire, electrical shock, or injury, and may void the warranty.
• Only genuine InFocus lamps are tested for use in this projector. Use of non  In
 Focus lamps may cause electrical shock and fire, and may void the projector 
warranty. 
• Hg – Lamp contains mercury. Manage in accordance with local  disposal laws. See  www.lamprecycle.org.
• 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 the Lamp LED is red.
• In the unlikely event of a lamp rupture, particles may exit through the  pr
 ojector vents. Please keep people, food, and drinks out of the “keep out” 
area under and around the projector, as indicated by the illustration.
 
Follow these instructions to help ensure im age quality and lamp life over the life of 
the projector. Failure to follow these instructions may affect the warranty. For 
complete details of the warranty , see the Safety/Warranty Booklet.

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 p
 rojector (with the standard zoom lens, LENS-074) must be at 55.8”/
1.42m(XGA) ; 60.2”/1.53m (WXGA) ; 57.2”/1.45m (WUXGA) from the 
projection screen. See appendix for additional lens information.
• Position the projector within 10 feet (3m) of your power source and within 6  f
 eet (1.8m) of your video device (unless you purchase extension cables). To 
ensure adequate cable access, do not place the projector within 6 inches 
(.15m) of a wall  or other object.
• Position the projector to the desired distance from the screen. The distance  fr
 om 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 at a given angle. However, the lens shift feature makes the  imag
 e offset variable. 
• The vertical image offset range for all the p
 rojectors is -60% to +20% (default 
0%), and the horizontal image offset is +/-10% (default 0%). At 20% vertical 
offset, the bottom of the image is 20% of the image height above the center 
of the lens in a tabletop configuration.
Vertical Image Offset is -60-% ~ +20%
lens center 20% offset
-60% offset
Horizontal Image Offset is +/-10%

Ceiling Mount
If you wish to install the projector on the ceiling:
• The projector must be installed by a qualified professional in order to ensure pr
 oper operation and reduce the risk  of hazards or injury. It is not 
recommended you install the projector yourself.
• We strongly recommend using InFocus approved ceiling mounts for proper  fi
 tting, ventilation and installation.  Refer to the ceiling mount installation 
guide 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.
• The ceiling must be strong enough to support the projector and the  in
 stallation must be in accordance with any local building codes. Consult your 
dealer for more information.
• The maximum physical pitch is unlimited, however the lamp life will be  ne
 gatively affected.
• The maximum supported physical horizontal roll is +/-10º. Note: Lamp life will  be
  negatively affected.
• Keep all adjacent surfaces at least 19. 7” (5
 0cm) from the sides, 12” (30cm) 
from the top and bottom of the projector, and 27.6” (70cm) from the back of 
the projector to preserve required airflow around the projector.

Displaying an image
Touch the Pow e r button on the keypad or the remote.
The Power button blinks green and the fans start to run. When the lamp turns on, 
the
  start up screen will display and the Power button will become solid green. It 
can take a minute for the image to achieve full brightness.
No start up screen?  Get h
 elp on page 13 .
Turn on your computer or video device.
The image should appear on the projection screen. If it doesn’t, press the  Inpu
 t 
button on the projector’s keypad or remote.
If you are using a laptop, make sure its external video port is active.
Many laptops do not automatically turn on their external video port when a 
pr

ojector is connected. Usually a key combin ation like Fn + F8 or CRT/LCD key turns 
the external display on and off. Locate a  function key labeled CRT/LCD or a function 
key with a monitor symbol. Press  Fn and the labeled function key simultaneously. 
Refer to your laptop’s documentation for more information about your laptop’s key 
co
 mbination.
