Safety  
Please read below before operating: 
• Do not look directly into the lens or open the case while the projector is 
running.  This could cause severe injury to your eyes. 
• Please keep the projector away from liquids.  This could cause electric 
shock and damage your projector. 
• Do not attempt to change the lamp while the projector is running or soon 
after it has been turned off.  If you need to change the lamp please consult 
the “Lamp Replacement” section at the end of this user guide. 
• After you turn off the projector please wait 15 minutes before turning it 
back on.  Failing to wait 15 minutes will decrease the life of the lamp and 
the projector. 
• Please only use the unit or remote power button to turn off the projector.  
Do not unplug the unit while it’s running or turn the unit off using the 
main power switch.  This will cause severe damage to the lamp and the 
projector. 
•  Do not cover any of the projector vents.  
• There are protective circuits and alarming devices located inside the 
projector. When the internal temperature rises caused by an improper 
environment or blocked vents, the projector will shut down automatically.  
We strongly recommend you keep the projector in a cool room.  This will 
prolong the overall life of the projector. 
• Please keep the projector where the temperature does not exceed 85 °F 
(29.4 °C).  The LCD inside the projector will develop black spots if left in 
warm environments.  This heat damage will not be covered under 
warranty.

• Please leave the projector in a ventilated environment.  Do not enclose 
your projector when mounting.  This could cause heat damage. 
• Avoid using the projector in a high temperature, dusty, and or dirty 
environment. 
• Do not touch the projector lens with your hands.  If the projector is left 
unused for long periods of time please cover the lens with the cap 
provided. 
• When you are done using the projector and the fan has shut off, please 
turn off the main power switch and remove the plug.  This will avoid 
damage from potential voltage waves. 
• The projector is composed of many precise electronic and optical 
components. Other than changing the lamp there are no parts that should 
be serviced by the owner. If you attempt to open the projector yourself 
any warranty will be null and void.  FAVI provides a 6 month warranty on 
all its projectors.  Please contact your FAVI dealer for any warranty claim.

Now set your source button on the projector to PC or VGA.  If at this time 
you do not see your computer screen projecting you may need to consult your 
computer manual for the correct setting.  In most cases the correct key 
combination to read a VGA signal is function, f4.

Please first place the projector in the proper viewing position.  Next, plug in the 
power cord and turn on the main power switch in the rear of the unit.  You will

Please note once you have turned off the unit you should not attempt to turn the 
unit back on for 15 minutes.  The main power switch should not be turned off 
during this cooling period.   
 
 
Step 3 - Focusing 
The image size can only be adjusted by moving the projector.  Once you have the 
correct image size please gently twist the lens to focus.  If the image is distorted 
please use the keystone correction wheel located on the bottom of the unit.
