Refer all service to qualified service personnel. Servicing your own projector  
can be dangerous to you and will void the warranty.  
Important Operating Considerations for Safety  
Refer to this guide for proper startup and shutdown procedures.  
Follow all warnings and cautions in this manual and on the projector.  
Only use replacement parts specified by InFocus. Unauthorized substitutions  
may result in fire, electrical shock, or injury, and may void the warranty  
Place the projector in a horizontal position no greater than 15 degrees off  
axis.  
Only genuine InFocus lamps are tested for use in this projector. Use of non  
InFocus lamps may cause electrical shock and fire, and may void the projector  
warranty.  
Locate the projector at least 4' (1.2m) away from any heating or cooling  
vents.  
Hg – Lamp contains mercury. Manage in accordance with local  
disposal laws. See www.lamprecycle.org.  
Do not block ventilation openings. Locate the projector in a well-ventilated  
area without obstructions to intake or exhaust vents. Do not place the  
projector on a tablecloth or other soft covering that may block the vents.  
The projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp. The lamp may fail  
prematurely, or it may rupture with a popping sound if jolted, scratched, or  
handled while hot. The risk of lamp failure or rupture also increases as the  
lamp age increases; please replace the lamp when you see the “Replace Lamp”  
message.  
Do not place the projector in direct sunlight, humid, greasy or dusty places or  
in places where the projector may come into contact with smoke or steam.  
Do not touch or block the projector lens with any objects as this can damage  
the projector lens. Use the lens cap when the projector is not in use and  
during transport. Scratches, gouges and other lens damage are not covered by  
the product warranty.  
In the unlikely event of a lamp rupture, particles may exit through the  
projector vents. Keep people, food, and drinks out of the "keep out" area  
under and around the projector, as indicated by the "X" areas below.  
Do not look directly into the lens while the projector is being used.  
Do not drop the projector.  
Do not spill liquid on the projector. Spilled liquid may damage the projector.  
Use the power cord provided. Connect the power cord to a receptacle with  
a protective safety (earth) ground terminal. A surge-protected power strip is  
recommended.

Do not overload wall outlets.  
Follow these instructions to help ensure image quality and lamp life over the life of  
the projector. Failure to follow these instructions may affect the warranty. For  
complete details of the warranty, see the Warranty Booklet.  
When disconnecting the power cord, hold the plug, not the cord.  
Wash hands after handling the cables supplied with this product.  
The projector remote control uses batteries. Make sure the batteries’  
polarity (+/-) is aligned correctly. Dispose of used batteries in accordance  
with local disposal laws.  
Use an InFocus approved ceiling mount kit for proper fitting, ventilation and  
installation. The warranty does not cover any damage caused by use of non-  
approved ceiling mount kits or by installing in an improper location.  
When the projector is ceiling mounted, wear protective eyewear to prevent  
eye injury before opening lamp door.

Positioning the projector  
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:

If you are installing the projector on the ceiling, we strongly recommend using  
InFocus approved ceiling mounts for proper fitting, ventilation and installation.  
Refer to the installation guide that comes with the InFocus Ceiling Mount Kit  
(p/n SP-CEIL-UNIV) for more information. The warranty does not cover any  
damage caused by use of non-approved ceiling mount kits or by installing in an  
improper location. To turn the image upside down, see “Ceiling mount” on  
page 28. We recommend using an InFocus authorized ceiling mount.

Position the projector the desired distance from the screen. The distance  
from the lens of the projector to the screen and the video format determine  
the size of the projected image. (The throw ratio of the IN146 is 0.49:1.)  
IN146 image offset is 5% +/-2%. This means that if you have an image 40  
inches (1 meter) tall from a table-mounted projector, the bottom of the  
image will be 2 inches (5 cm) above the centerline of the lens.

VGA connection  
Connecting a video device  
If your video device has a 15-pin VGA output, plug one end of the included  
computer cable into the VGA connector on your video source. This connector  
may be labeled “To Monitor” on the video source. Plug the computer cable into  
the Computer connector on the projector.  
You can connect video devices such as VCRs, DVD players, camcorders, digital  
cameras, video game consoles, HDTV receivers, and TV tuners to the projector.  
You can connect the audio directly to the projector to get sound from the built-in  
speaker, or you can bypass the projector’s audio system and connect the audio  
directly from your source to a stereo or home theater system.  
Component video connection  
If your HD video device has component connectors, an optional Component to  
VGA adapter can be used. Plug the component cable into the video device. Plug  
the other end of the component cable into the adapter and plug the adapter into  
the Computer connector.  
You can connect the projector to most video devices that can output video. You  
cannot directly connect the coaxial cable that enters your house from a cable or  
satellite company, the signal must pass through a tuner first. Examples of tuners  
are digital cable boxes, VCRs, digital video recorders, and satellite TV boxes.  
Basically, any device that can change channels is considered a tuner.  
S-video connection  
Plug the S-video cable’s connector into the video-out connector on the video  
device. Plug the other connector into the black S-Video connector on the  
projector.  
Before connecting your projector, you should decide which aspect ratio you want  
to use. The projector’s Aspect Ratio setting is accessed through the Resize button  
on the remote or through the projector’s Basic Menu. See page 26 for more  
information.  
Audio  
Video device connections  
For audio, connect a 3.5mm stereo cable to the Audio In connector on the  
projector and to your source. If your source uses RCA audio connectors, a Y-  
cable or adapter may be used. (Note: A separate audio connection is not required  
for HDMI source inputs.  
No video cables are provided with the projector. You can order cables from  
InFocus or provide your own.  
HDMI 1.3 connection  
HDMI is a standard, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI  
provides an interface between sources, such as set-top boxes, DVD players, and  
receivers and your projector. Plug an HDMI cable into the video-out connector on  
the video device and into the HDMI connector on the projector.  
Composite video connection  
Plug the composite video cable’s yellow connector into the video-out connector  
on the video device. Plug the other yellow connector into the yellow Video  
connector on the projector.

The Status Indicator Panel on top of the projector indicates the state of the  
projector and can help you troubleshoot.  
Shutting down the projector  
Auto Off Time  
The projector also has an Auto Off Time feature that automatically turns the  
projector off after no active sources are detected and no user interaction with the  
projector is performed for 30 minutes. By default, this feature is off. You can

Using the remote control  
The remote uses two (2) AA batteries (not provided). They are easily installed by  
removing the cover from the remote’s back, aligning the + and - ends of the  
batteries, sliding them into place, and then replacing the cover.  
Troubleshooting the remote  
Make sure the batteries are installed in the proper orientation and are not  
dead.  
Caution:  
When replacing the remote batteries, be aware that using batteries other  
than AA batteries may risk severe damage to the remote. When disposing of  
the batteries, be sure to do so in an enviromentally proper manner.  
Make sure you’re pointing the remote at the projector or the screen, not the  
computer, and are within the remote range of 15 feet (4.5m). For best  
results, point the remote at the projector.  
If the remote control gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.  
Avoid excessive heat and humidity.  
Ensure the batteries' polarity (+/-) is aligned correctly.  
Do not mix new and old batteries together, or mix different types of batter-  
ies together.

Maintenance  
Cleaning the lens  
1 Apply a non-abrasive camera lens cleaner to a soft, dry cloth.  
Projector must be off and the lens must be at room temperature.  
Avoid using an excessive amount of cleaner, and don’t apply the cleaner  
directly to the lens. Abrasive cleaners, solvents or other harsh chemicals  
might scratch the lens.  
2 Lightly wipe the cleaning cloth over the lens in a circular motion.  
WARNINGS:  
Turn the projector off and unplug power cord before cleaning any part of  
the projector.  
Do not touch or block the projector lens with any objects as this can  
damage the projector lens. Use the lens cap when the projector is not in  
use and during transport. Scratches, gouges and other lens damage are not  
covered by the product warranty.  
Do not open any cover on the projector, except the lamp cover.  
Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening and removing  
covers may expose you to dangerous voltage and other hazards. Refer all  
servicing to qualified service personnel.

Hg – Lamp contains mercury. Manage in accordance with local disposal  
laws. See www.lamprecycle.org.  
Replacing the projection lamp  
The Lamp Hours timer in the Projector Info menu counts the number of hours the  
lamp has been in use. Twenty hours before the lamp life expires, the message  
“Replace lamp” appears on the screen at startup.  
NOTE: Be sure to use the InFocus lamp module designed for this projector.  
You can order new lamps from www.infocus.com (in select areas), your  
retailer or your dealer. Only genuine InFocus lamps are tested for use in this  
projector. Use of non InFocus lamps may cause electrical shock and fire, and  
may void the projector warranty. InFocus is not liable for the performance,  
safety or certification of any other lamps.  
WARNINGS:  
The projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp. The lamp may fail  
prematurely, or it may rupture with a popping sound if jolted, scratched, or  
handled while hot. The risk of lamp failure or rupture also increases as the  
lamp age increases; please replace the lamp when you see the “Replace Lamp”  
message.  
To avoid burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 60 minutes before you  
replace the lamp.  
Unplug the power cord before replacing the lamp.  
Do not drop the lamp module. The glass may shatter and cause injury.  
Do not touch the glass surface of the lamp module. Fingerprints can obscure  
projection sharpness and may cause the glass to shatter.  
Be extremely careful when removing the lamp housing. In the unlikely event  
that the lamp ruptures, small glass fragments may be generated. The lamp  
module is designed to contain most of these fragments, but use caution when  
removing it.  
Before replacing a ruptured lamp, clean the lamp compartment and dispose of  
cleaning materials. Wash hands after lamp replacement.  
When replacing the lamp while the projector is ceiling-mounted, wear  
protective eyewear to prevent eye injury.
