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. Do not place objects or people in the 2 foot (.6m) area along the front of the projector. For ceiling mount applications, this area should be 5 feet (1.5m). .6m) 2 ft ( · · · · · Follow these instructions to help ensure image quality and lamp life over the life of the projector.

It provides a constant output while the projector is on. It has numerous uses. For example, if you connect your projection screen to the 12 volt DC output with the cable that came with your screen, when you turn on the projector the screen will move down; when you turn the projector off, the screen will return to the storage position. To use the 12 volt DC output, you must first remove the safety plug and turn Screen Trigger on in the System menu (see page 38). +12v ground 3.5mm plug 12 volt DC output to, for example, screen relay (see screen manufacturer for details) Wireless Projection You can use the projector's M1 connector along with the InFocus LiteShow wireless adapter and software for cable-free digital projection. Contact an authorized InFocus dealer or visit the website listed on the back inside cover of this User's Guide for more information. 6 Positioning the projector 12 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 projector must be at least 4.9 feet (1.49m) 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 extension 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 38. We recommend using an 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 top illustration to the right shows three projected image sizes. For more information about image sizes at different distances, see "Projected Image Size" on page 44. The image exits the projector at a given angle. This image offset is 112.2% when the projector is in 4:3 mode (default mode). This means that if you have an image 10' high, the bottom of the image will be 1.22' above the center of the lens. This image offset is 132.9% when the projector is in 16:9 mode. This means that if you have an image 10' high, the bottom of the image will be 3.29' above the center of the lens. See "Connecting a video device" on page 16 for additional information on 16:9 and 4:3 modes. bottom of image 3.29 ft above center of lens lens center bottom of image 1.22 ft above center of lens .5 ft. 5 ft. 3 3. f t. 19 ft. 7.5 ft. 4.8 ft. 10 ft high image Projection angle in 4:3 mode (default) · · lens center · 10 ft high image Projection angle in 16:9 mode · · 7 Projector and Device Connector Guide The following illustration and table should help you find the connectors to use and obtain the best resolution possible from your input devices, such as computers, standard VCRs, DVD players (progressive and interlaced), HDTV sources (1080i, 1035i, and 720p HDTV formats), TV and satellite tuners, camcorders, video games (progressive and interlaced), and laser disc players. Computer connections Computer connections involve attaching the VGA and USB ends of the provided computer cable to a computer and connecting the other end (M1) to the Computer In input on the projector. The USB part of the computer cable allows you to advance slides in a PowerPointTM presentation via a remote control. See page 11 for computer/projector setup information. Video connections The first step for connecting video is deciding what type of output connector you want to connect to the projector. If there is more than one output on your video device, select the one with the highest quality. Your options are S-video (higher quality) and Composite video (lesser quality). If you are connecting the projector to HDTV sources, the projector's M1 computer connector, labeled Computer In, should be used. Keep in mind that HDTV and progressive sources should only be handled through the projector's computer connector. You can also use an M1 to Component adapter (available as an optional accessory) to connect a progressive source's component connectors to the projector. The S-video port does not function with progressive sources. projector input connectors audio/visual (composite) 12 volt DC output computer in monitor S-video (HDTV and (out) audio out progressive sources) 8 Video Device Video Compatibility If Your Device Connector Is Attach to Adapter or Labeled Connector on Projector For Setup Instructions, see Comments Standard Broadcast TV (not HDTV) via: cable, digital cable, satellite TV, DVD, or VCR NTSC, PAL, and SECAM formats Composite video or S-video Composite video or S-video Composite video connection on page 17.
