The bright light may harm your eyes. · Do not block the grills on the projector. Restricting the air flow can cause it to overheat and turn off. If this happens, you must wait a minute before attempting to turn it back on. · Handle the projector as you would any product with glass components. Be especially careful not to drop it. · Avoid leaving the projector in direct sunlight or extreme cold for extended periods of time. If this happens, allow it to reach room temperature before use. · Transport the projector in a vendor-approved hard or soft case. Part numbers for these cases are listed on page 50. 3 I n t r o d u c t i o n If You Need Assistance The first place to look for help is in this manual.

Warranty This product is backed by a limited two-year warranty. The details of the warranty are printed at the back of this manual. A longer term warranty can be purchased from your InFocus dealer. Refer to page 50 for the part number. 4 SETTING UP THE PROJECTOR 1 Place the projector on a flat surface. · The projector must be within 10 feet (3 m) of your power source and within 6 feet (1.8 m) of your computer. · If you want to project from behind a translucent screen, set up the projector behind your screen. See "Rear Projection" on page 36 to reverse the image. · 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 Projection" on page 36. The Ceiling Mount Kit is sold separately; see "Optional Accessories" on page 50. 2 Position the projector the desired distance from the screen. · The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen and the zoom lens setting determine the size of the projected image. Table 1 shows example projected image sizes and minimum and maximum distances to the screen. The formulas for distance to the screen are: Max distance (ft) = diagonal image size (ft) ÷.49 Min distance (ft) = diagonal image size (ft) ÷.69 Table 1: Diagonal Image Size and Width at Maximum and Minimum Distance to Screen-Standard Lens Distance to screen Diagonal Image Size (inches) 300 240 180 144 120 96 72 60 48 Image Width (inches) 240 192 144 115 96 77 58 48 38 Maximum distance (feet) 51 41 31 24 20 16 12 10 8 Minimum Distance (feet) 36 29 22 17 14 12 9 7 6 NOTE: For a similar table for the optional short throw and long throw lenses, see page 58 of the Appendix. 5 S e t t i n g u p t h e P r o j e c t o r zoom adjustment range: 20-14' 90º 90º R G B A 0 s BNC BNC L out R L In R In L In R G B R minimum L: 14' maximum L: 20' distance between lens and screen: L FIGURE 3 Projected image size for 10' diagonal image size The projector is equipped with a lens shift feature that allows you to adjust the projection height (move the image along the wall) without moving the projector, while still maintaining a perfectly square image. Turn the lens shift knob on the side of the projector to make this adjustment (Figure 4). FIGURE 4 Adjusting the lens shift 6 The bottom of the image can move from half way below the projector's lens (Figure 5) to parallel with the lens (Figure 6). Example: With a 10' image, at the lowest projection angle, the bot- tom of the image is 5' below the projector's lens; at the highest projection angle, the bottom of the image is parallel with the lens. 10' high image H bottom of image 5' below lens lens center R G B A 0 s BNC BNC L out R L In R In L In R G B R FIGURE 5 Lowest image projection angle 10' high image bottom of image parallel with lens R G B A 0 s BNC BNC L out R L In R In L In R G B R lens center FIGURE 6 Highest image projection angle Once you know the diagonal image size, you can figure out the width and height using these formulas: width (inches) = diagonal (inches) x 0.8 height (inches) = width (inches) x 0.75 7 S e t t i n g u p t h e P r o j e c t o r The following tables give the lens shift values for desktop and ceiling-mounted setups for various image sizes. The lower lens shift position represents the highest the projector can be above the bottom of the screen; the upper lens shift position represents the lowest the projector can be below the bottom of the screen.
