Place the projector in a horizontal position no greater than 15 degrees 
off axis.
 Locate the projector in a well-ventilated area without any obstructions 
to intake or exhaust vents. Do not place the 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. Use only InFocus-approved ceiling mounts. 
Wa r n i n g
: To prevent eye 
injury if the projector is ceiling mounted, wear protective eyewear 
before opening lamp door. A warning sticker is included with the user 
documentation. Place this sticker on the lamp door if the projector is 
mounted on the ceiling.
 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 warranty 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 startup and shutdown procedures. Hg – Lamp contains mercury. Manage in accordance with local 
disposal laws. See www.lamprecycle.org. In the unlikely event of a lamp rupture, particles may exit 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 the pro
-
jector, 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 instructions may affect the 
warranty. For complete details of the warranty, see the Warranty booklet.

Positioning the projectorTo 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 guide
-
lines: 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 (unless you purchase exten
-
sion cables). To ensure adequate cable access, do not place the projector 
within 6 inches (.15m) of a wall or other object.
 If you are installing the projector on the ceiling, refer to the installation 
guide that comes with the Ceiling Mount Kit for more information. To 
turn the image upside down, see “Ceiling” on 
page
 31. We recommend 
using an InFocus authorized ceiling mount.
 Position the projector the desired 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 given angle. This image offset is 115%. 
This means that if you have an image 10’ high, the bottom of the image 
will be 1.15’ above the center of the lens.
