Troubleshooting

If there is no picture or the picture is blank

• If the power light is off, make sure the power cord is connected and plugged into a live electrical outlet. If the power light is on but not blinking, press the power button.
• Check video source and cables. Make sure the video source (computer, DVD player, VCR, etc.) is turned on and cables are securely connected between the source and the projector.
• Make sure your computer’s video port is enabled. Press the key combination that activates your laptop’s external video port (see step 4 ). If there is still no image, restart your laptop.
• Press the Source button. You may need to press it several times to view the correct source.
• Press the Auto Image button.

If “Signal out of range” is shown, or the picture looks bad

Press the Auto Image button. If that doesn’t help (and the source is a computer), reduce your computer’s display resolution or vertical refresh rate.

If the replace lamp light is on
Turn the projector off and wait at least one minute, then turn it on again. If the replace lamp light turns on again, the lamp needs to be replaced. For lamp replacement instructions, see the Reference Guide, which is on the included CDROM or can be downloaded at www.infocus.com/support

If the high temperature light is on
Turn the projector off and remove anything that may be blocking the air vents on its side. Leave the projector off for at least one minute to let it cool before turning it on again. Important: Continuous operation at high temperature may reduce the lifetime of the lamp and/or projector

If the service required light is on

Turn the projector off and wait at least one minute, then turn it on again. If the service required light turns on again, the projector needs to be serviced. Visit www.infocus.com/service or call InFocus support to arrange for service.
