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.
 Only InFocus lamps are tested and certified 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.
 Warning: 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.

the appropriate adapter from your Apple® reseller.
Connect the black power cable to the connector on the back of the projector 
and to your electrical outlet.
