Usage Guidelines
• Do not look directly into the projection lens when the projector is turned on. The bright light may harm your eyes.
• Do not block the grills on the projector. Do not place the projector on cloth table coverings, as they may get sucked up to the vents. Restricting the air flow can cause it to overheat and turn off.
• 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.
• This projector is not intended for use in a mainframe computer room as defined in the Standard for the Protection of Electronic
Computer/Data Processing Equipment, ANSI/NFPA 75.

CAUTION: If the lamp LED remains solidly lit after the projector has powered on, the lamp needs to be replaced. Refer to
“Replacing the Projection Lamp” on page 41 for more information.
21
S e t t i n g u p t h e P r o j e c t o r
NOTE: With some computers, the order in which you power up the equipment is very important.
Most computers should be turned on last, after all other peripherals have been turned on. Refer to your computer’s documentation to determine the correct order.
CAUTION: When you disconnect the projector after you have switched it off, always remove the power cord from the electrical outlet first, then remove it from the projector.
• If you don’t want to hear the sound from your video player, press the mute button.
5 If you connected any external speakers, turn them on.
6 If you connected your monitor, turn it on.
7 Turn on your computer.
• The computer image should display on the projection screen. (If a video source is active, press the computer button to display your computer’s image.)
• If necessary, use the brightness buttons on the keypad to adjust the brightness. You can make further adjustments to the image from the projector’s on-screen menus. To open the menus, press the menu button on the keypad. Then select the Display menu or the Image menu. For more information about the menus, see page 29.
• If you don’t want to hear the sound from your computer or video player, press the mute button.
Turning Off the Projector
If you want to turn off the projector for a short period of time, press the standby button on the keypad. This blanks the screen for
15 minutes, but keeps the projector running. After 15 minutes, the lamp goes out (the projector keeps running). To exit standby mode, press the standby button again. (It takes several seconds for the projection lamp to reach full power and project the image again.) You can change the amount of time the projector stays in standby mode; see “Standby TIme” on page 37 for details.
To completely power off the projector, press the “O” side of the power switch on the front of the projector. If you want to turn the projector back on immediately, you must allow about 30 seconds for the lamp to cool. The lamp won’t light if it’s too hot.
22
USING THE PROJECTOR
This section describes how to use and make adjustments to the projector. It also provides a reference to the keypad buttons and the options available from the on-screen menus.
Basic Image Adjustment
1 Make sure you have powered up your equipment in the right order (page 21).
2 If the image doesn’t display completely, adjust the height and
tilt of the projector (page 25), zoom the image (page 25), or
center the image by adjusting its horizontal or vertical posi-
3
If the image is out of focus, rotate the lens to focus it (page 25).
4 If the image appears to shimmer or if it has blurry vertical bars after you have adjusted the focus, turn Auto Image
(page 35) off and then back on to reset the automatic sync and
tracking. If that doesn’t clear up the image, adjust the sync
(page 36) and/or the tracking (page 36) manually.
5
If the colors don’t look right, adjust the brightness (page 27)
Using the Remote Control
Point the remote control at the projection screen or at the front or rear of the projector. The range for optimum operation is about
40 feet. If you point the remote at the projection screen, the distance to the screen and back to the projector must be less than or equal to 40 feet. For best results, point the remote directly at the front or the rear of the projector.
The projector ships with a two-button remote. (A full-feature
Smart Remote with all the same buttons as the keypad is available separately; see “Optional Accessories” on page 52.) The remote has a disk mouse and two mouse buttons, one on the top of the remote and one on the bottom.
NOTE: In Focus has created a software program called In Focus
Presents that automatically optimizes your computer’s display when used with any In Focus projector. This free program is included with every projector and available for download from our website at www.infocus.com.
NOTE: If you can’t aim the remote control at the projector so that its signal is received — for example, when using rear projection — purchase the optional
Smart Remote and connect it directly to the projector with the optional remote control cable. See
“Optional Accessories” on page 52.

M a i n t e n a n c e & T r o u b l e s h o o t i n g
NOTE: Macintosh computers require a specific power-up sequence: the projector must be turned on before you turn on the computer.
Troubleshooting
If you’re experiencing trouble with the projector, follow these steps to make sure everything is properly connected before you call Technical Support for assistance.
1 Check cable connections. Verify that all computer, CableWizard and power cables are properly connected.
2 Verify that all power is switched on.
3 Verify that the projector has not been switched off with the standby button on the keypad.
4 If the projector still doesn’t display an image, restart the computer.
5 If the problem still exists, unplug the projector from the computer and check the computer monitor’s display. The maximum resolution that the 725 can display is 1024x768 pixels, preferably 800x600; the maximum resolution that the 735 can display is 1280x1024 pixels, preferably 1024x768. The problem might be with the graphics controller in your computer rather than with the projector. When you reconnect the projector, remember to turn the computer and monitor off before you power up the projector. Power the equipment back up in this order: projector, monitor, computer.
6 If you’re using a laptop computer and it is not displaying your presentation, make sure you have activated the computer’s external video output. Most laptop computers do not automatically turn on their external video port when a secondary display device such as a projector is connected. Refer to page 53 for more information.
7 If the problem still exists, read through the problems and solutions in this chapter.

Activation commands for some laptop computers are listed in the following table. (If your computer is not listed or the given command does not work, refer to the computer’s documentation for the appropriate command.) On some laptops, the activation function key is labeled with an icon, for example or the text CRT/LCD.
NOTE: Often, pressing the key commands once activates the external video port, pressing it again activates both the external and internal ports, and pressing it a third time activates the internal port. Refer to your computer’s documentation for details on your specific model.

Using Video Mirroring with a PowerBook Computer
When you turn video mirroring on (called SimulScan in newer
PowerBooks-see below), the projector displays the same information that appears on your PowerBook’s built-in screen. When video mirroring is off, the projector acts like a separate display.
To turn on video mirroring for the first time:
1 Open the Monitors control panel; click on Monitor 2.
2 Set the number of colors you want.
3 Open the Control Strip; click on the monitor icon.
4 Select “Turn Video Mirroring On.”
Now you can turn video mirroring on and off from the Control
Strip without having to open the Monitors control panel again.
When using video mirroring and high color graphics such as slide shows, the projected image occasionally might turn black and white. If this happens, perform the following steps:
1 Turn off video mirroring.
2 Open the Monitors control panel.
3 Move the white menu bar to Monitor 2 to set the projector as the primary monitor.
4 Restart the PowerBook.
Using SimulScan
Some newer PowerBooks display images on an external monitor or projector differently than previous ones. When using
SimulScan, the projector displays the same information that appears on your PowerBook
To select SimulScan:
1 Open the Control Panel, then double-click Monitors and
Sound.
2 In the Resolution list, choose the SimulScan mode, then click
OK.
3 If this changes your display settings, a dialog box appears.
Click OK to confirm the change.
