Important Operating Considerations for Safety
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.
Use only the power cord provided. A surge-protected power strip is
recommended.
Refer to this manual for proper startup and shutdown procedures.
In the unlikely event of the lamp rupturing, discard any edible items
placed in the surrounding area and thoroughly clean the area along all
sides of the projector. Wash hands after cleaning the area and handling
the ruptured lamp. This product has a lamp which contains a very
small amount of mercury. Dispose of it as required by local, state or
federal ordinances and regulations. For more information see
www.eiae.org.
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 section at
the end of this User's Guide.

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 guide-
lines:
Position the projector on a flat surface at a right angle to the screen. The
projector (with the standard lens) must be at least 3 feet (0.9m) 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 35. We recom-
mends using an authorized ceiling mount. The Ceiling Mount Kit is
sold separately; see the Accessories catalog that came with this projec-
tor or visit our website for more information.
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. For information
about image sizes at different distances, see “Projected image size” on
page 43.
For the standard lens that comes with the projector, the image exits at a
given angle. However, the lens shift feature makes the image offset
variable. The image offset is 100% at a 10:0 ratio when the projector is in
4:3 mode (default mode). This means that if you have an image 10’
high, all 10’ will appear above the center of the lens.
The image offset is 50% when the lens shift is at a 1:1 ratio. This means
that if you have an image 10’ high, the bottom of the image will be 5’
below the center of the lens.
For information about the optional lenses image offsets, see “Projected
image size” on page 43.

Connecting a computer
connect computer cable
Required computer connections
Connect one end of the VESA computer cable to the Computer 2 connector
on the projector. Connect the other end to the video port on your computer.
If you are using a desktop computer, you first need to disconnect the moni-
tor cable from the computer’s video port.
Connect the black power cable to the connector on the back of the projector
and to your electrical outlet.
NOTE: Always use the power cable that shipped with the projector.
Optional computer connections
To control your computer’s mouse using the projector’s remote control, con-
nect the USB and DVI cables to the USB and DVI ports on your computer,
and connect the other end to the Computer 1 (M1-D) connector on the pro-
jector. USB drivers must be installed to use the USB feature. For more infor-
mation, see page 12.
If your projector cannot receive the remote’s signal due to IR interference,
you can connect directly to the projector via a remote cable. To do so, plug
the remote cable into the wired remote connector on the projector. Plug the
other end into the connector on the remote,
connect power cable
connect M1-D cable
connect wired remote
To have sound with your presentation, connect the audio cable to your com-
puter and to the corresponding computer Audio In connector on the projec-
tor.
