MAINTENANCE

This section describes how to:

•clean the lens

•clean the fan intake filter

•replace the projection lamp

•replace the batteries in the remote control

•use the Kensington lock feature

Cleaning the Lens

Follow these steps to clean the projection lens:

1Apply a non-abrasive camera lens cleaner to a soft, dry cloth.

•Avoid using an excessive amount of cleaner.

•Abrasive cleaners, solvents or other harsh chemicals might

scratch the lens.

2Lightly wipe the cleaning cloth over the lens.

3If you don’t intend to use the projector immediately, replace

the lens cap.

Cleaning the Fan Intake Filter

The fan intake filter on the bottom of the projector catches dust

and particles in the air. If the filter becomes clogged, the projector

does not cool properly and may malfunction. To prevent this,

clean the filter after every 100 hours of use.

1Turn off the power and unplug the power cord.

2Remove the filter door.

•Carefully place a screwdriver against the indented part of

the filter door and lift out.

Replacing the Projection Lamp

WARNING: To avoid burns,

allow the projector to cool for at

least 2 minutes before you open

the lamp module door. Never

extract the lamp module while the

lamp is operating.

The lamp hour counter on the status bar at the top of the menus

counts the number of hours the lamp has been in use. After 2000

hours of use, the lamp monitor LED, marked on the top of the

projector near the keypad, lights. After 2050 hours, the lamp

switches off completely and must be replaced. You can order new

lamp modules from your In Focus dealer. See “Accessories” on

page 53 for information.

Follow these steps to replace the projection lamp:

1Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord.

2Wait 2 minutes to allow it to cool thoroughly.

3Using a small, flat-blade screwdriver, remove the screw on the

outside of the lamp door (Figure 34).

4Pull the lamp cover up and remove it.

FIGURE 34

Replacing the Batteries in the Remote Control

The life of the batteries depends on how often and how long you

use the remote. Symptoms of low battery charge include erratic

responses when using the remote and a reduced range of opera-

tion.

Follow these steps to replace the batteries:

1Turn the remote face down in your hand.

2Slide the battery cover off the end of the remote by pressing

on it with the heel of your hand.

3Remove the old batteries.

4Install two new AAA alkaline batteries. Make sure you install

each in the correct direction.

5Slide the battery cover back on the remote.

Using the Kensington Lock

The projector has a Kensington Security Standard connector for

use with a Kensington MicroSaver Security System (Figure 37).

Refer to the information that came with the Kensington System

for instructions on how to use it to secure the projector.

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.

1Check cable connections. Verify that all computer, CableWiz-

ard and power cables are properly connected.

2Verify that all power is switched on.

3Verify that the projector has not been switched off with the

standby button on the keypad.

4If the projector still doesn’t display an image, restart the com-

puter.

NOTE: Macintosh computers

require a specific power-up

sequence: the projector must be

turned on before you turn on the

computer.

5If the problem still exists, unplug the projector from the com-

puter and check the computer monitor’s display. The maxi-

mum resolution that the 720 can display is 1024x768 pixels,

preferably 800x600; the maximum resolution that the 730 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.

6If you’re using a laptop computer and its monitor is not dis-

playing your presentation, make sure you have re-activated

the computer’s monitor. Most laptop computers de-activate

their own monitor when a second display device, such as the

projector, is connected. Refer to page 55 for more information.

7If the problem still exists, read through the problems and solu-

tions in this chapter.

If you call Technical Support for assistance:

•Find out what kind of graphics controller card is installed in

your computer. This is the circuit board in the computer to

which the projector is connected.

Troubleshooting

Solutions to Common Problems

Problem: Nothing on projection screen

•Make sure that the power cord is properly connected to a func-

tional AC electrical outlet. Make sure that the power cord is

also properly connected to the projector.

•If the projector is plugged into a power strip, make sure the

power strip is turned on.

•Make sure you have removed the lens cap on the projection

lens at the front of the projector.

•Make sure the projector is switched on.

•Check the projector’s lamp to ensure that it is securely con-

nected in the lamp module. See “Replacing the Projection

Lamp” on page 41.

•Make sure that the CableWizard and the cables do not have

any bent pins. Check the power cord for bent pins also.

Problem: Color or text not being projected

•You might need to adjust the brightness up or down until the

text is visible. Refer to “Brightness” on page 27 for more infor-

mation.

•Verify that the appropriate input source is selected. See “Com-

puter” on page 27 or “Video” on page 29.

Problem: The screen resolution is not right

•Make sure the computer’s graphics card is set for a resolution

of no greater than 1024x768 for the 720, 1280x1024 for the 730.

Problem: Image isn’t centered on the screen

•Reposition the image. Refer to “Horiz. Position” on page 36

and “Vert. Position” on page 36.

•If you’re using an extension cable between the CableWizard

and the projector, make sure it’s In Focus-approved.

Problem: Only the start-up screen displays

•Verify that the cables are connected correctly. Check to see that

the CableWizard computer cable is correctly connected to the

monitor connector on the computer (this is the connector

where your monitor cable usually goes.) See page 8 through

page 17 for connection procedures.

•Verify that the proper input source is connected. See “Com-

puter” on page 27 or “Video” on page 29.

•You might need to turn everything off and power up the equip-

ment again. Make sure you power up in this order: projector,

computer monitor, computer. It is especially important that

you follow this sequence for Macintosh computers.

•Make sure your computer’s graphics board is installed and

configured correctly.

If you’re using Windows 3.x:

1In the Windows Program Manager, double-click the Win-

dows Setup icon in the Main program group.

2Verify that the Display setting is 1024x768 or less for the

720, 1280x1024 or less for the 730.

If you’re using Windows 95:

1Open “My Computer” icon, the Control Panel folder and

then the Display icon.

2Click the Settings tab.

3Verify that the Desktop area is set to 1024x768 or less for

the 720, 1280x1024 or less for the 730.

Also check the following:

•Does your computer have a compatible graphics board? The

projector isn’t CGA or EGA compatible.

•Is your computer’s graphics board turned on? This is espe-

cially true for laptop computers. See “Portable and Laptop

Activation Chart” on page 55.

Problem: Image is too wide or narrow for screen

•You might need to manually adjust the tracking to reduce or

enlarge the projected image. Refer to “Manual Tracking” on

page 36.

Troubleshooting

•

Adjust the resolution of your monitor if it’s greater than

1024x768 pixels for the 720 or 1280x1024 for the 730. Only these

resolutions at 75 Hz or less will display on the projector.

Problem: Image is out of focus

•Turn the projection lens to focus the image.

•Make sure the projection screen is at least 4 feet (1.2m) from the

projector.

•Check the projection lens to see if it needs cleaning.

Problem: Image and menus are reversed left to right

•Rear projection mode is probably turned on. Switch back to for-

ward projection from the Controls menu. The image should

immediately return to forward projection. See “Rear Projec-

tion” on page 38.

Problem: Image and menus are upside down

•Ceiling mode is probably turned on. Turn off the mode from

the Controls menu. The image should immediately return to

forward projection. See “Ceiling” on page 38.

Problem: the projector displays vertical lines, “bleeding” or spots

•Adjust the brightness. See “Brightness” on page 27.

•Check the projection lens to see if it needs cleaning.

Problem: no sound

•Press the mute button.

•Adjust volume.

•Verify audio/input connections.

•Adjust audio source.

Problem: Image is “noisy” or streaked

Try these steps in this order.

1Deactivate the screen saver on your computer.

2Turn Auto Image off and then back on again. See “Auto

Image” on page 35.

3Adjust the synchronization and tracking manually to find an

optimal setting. See “Manual Sync” on page 36 and “Manual

Tracking” on page 36.

•If you’re using an extension cable between the CableWizard

and the projector, make sure it’s In Focus-approved.

•The problem could be with your computer’s graphics board. If

possible, connect a different computer.

Problem: Projected colors don’t match the computer or video

player’s colors

•Adjust the brightness, tint and/or contrast from the Display

menu. Just as there are differences in the displays of different

monitors, there are often differences between the computer

image and the projected image. See “Brightness” on page 27,

“Tint” on page 31 and “Contrast” on page 31.

Problem: Lamp seems to be getting dimmer

•The lamp begins to lose brightness when it has been in use for a

long time. Replace the lamp as described in “Replacing the Pro-

jection Lamp” on page 41.

Problem: Lamp shuts off

•A minor power surge may cause the lamp to shut off. Turn the

projector off, wait at least 30 seconds, then turn it back on.

Problem: Remote not operating correctly

•You might need to replace the batteries. See “Replacing the Bat-

teries in the Remote Control” on page 43.

•Make sure you’re pointing the remote either at the back or front

of the projector, or at the projection screen.

•Make sure the remote is within its operating range of 40 feet.
