Blinks Red (3),
every 2 seconds
The lamp has failed. Projector shuts down.
1. Reinstall lamp, making sure that it is properly seated.
2. Make sure that none of the vents are blocked with paper or other material.
Blocked vents can cause the projector to shut down.
3. Replace the lamp. When the projector starts up, make sure to run it long
enough to make sure the problem is solved.
4. If the projector still does not work, take the projector to your dealer for
repair, or contact InFocus Technical Support.
Note: If the projector is operated in a hot environment, especially at high altitudes,
the unit may overheat and automatically shut down. The fans will continue to run
until the projector cools down. This projector should not be run where ambient
temperatures exceed 95°F (35°C).

Blinks Red (5),
every 2 seconds
The projector has shutdown due to high temperature.
1. Remove the lamp and clean the screens on the lamp module. If the
screens are dusty, the projector will overheat.
2. If the projector still does not work, take the projector to your dealer for
repair, or contact InFocus Technical Support.
The projector does not display the computer image.
1. Make sure the logo screen appears. Consult the LED chart above if it doesn't appear.
2. Press the Computer button on the projector keypad or remote control. This forces the projector to look for other
active sources. You may need to press it more than once.
3. Press the Auto Image button on the projector keypad.
4. Make sure all cables are securely seated. Make sure the cables are connected to the proper ports. One end of the
computer cable should be plugged into the blue Computer In connector on the projector. The other end should be
plugged into the Video port on your computer. Most likely, there will be only one VESA connector that will fit the
cable on the computer.
5. Turn the projector on first, then the computer.
6. Make sure the computer is set to a resolution of 1024x768 or lower. For the best results, the computer should be set
to 1024x768 (XGA) to match the native resolution of the projector.
7. If you're using a laptop and the computer image still does not display on the projector, try activating the computer's
external video port with special keystrokes. Press and hold the FN key on the laptop and then press the appropriate
function key (F1, F2, F3, etc.) that's marked LCD/CRT or marked with a picture of a monitor. (Refer to the laptop
activation chart or your laptop documentation for further video port activation instructions.)
You may need to press the Function key more than once. Many laptops cycle through a series of configurations at
each key press, including image on the screen, but not on the laptop, image on both the screen and laptop, image
on laptop only. Be sure to wait five seconds or so after pressing the function key. Sometimes it takes the projector a
few seconds to communicate with the laptop.
The image is not perfectly rectangular. ("Keystoning")
When a projected image is wider at the top or the bottom, or taller on the right or left side, we say that the image is
'keystoned'. Keystoning happens when your projector is not perpendicular to the screen, either in the vertical plane or the
horizontal plane.
