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 amber and 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 computers video port is enabled. Press the key combination 
that activates your laptops external video port (see step       ). 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 doesnt help (and the source is a computer), 
reduce your computers 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 can be downloaded at
 Only InFocus genuine lamps are tested for use in this projector.
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. See 
below for service contact information. 
More troubleshooting options are in the Reference Guide
  Warning: In the unlikely event of a lamp rupture, particles may be ejected from the projector.
