SAFETY SUMMARY

Please read these instructions carefully before using your LitePro 210 or 220. Failure to comply with them could result in fire, electrical shock, personal injury or damage to equipment.

These graphics are used throughout this manual to draw your attention to important information about the projectors.

NOTE: Additional useful details or tips.

CAUTION: Steps to take to avoid damage to your equipment.

WARNING: Steps to take to avoid personal injury.

These graphics are used on LitePro labels.

Attention - Refer to this User’s Guide for important safety information.

Hot Surfaces - Avoid touching hot surfaces. Do not touch until the LitePro has cooled.

Lamp Explosion Hazard - If you continue to use the lamp after the lamp monitor light comes on, it may explode, severely damaging your LitePro. Be sure to replace the lamp when the lamp monitor light comes on as described in this User’s Guide. Refer to the section titled “Replacing the Projection Lamp” for information about changing the bulb.

Do Not Look Into The Lens!

Be extremely careful not to look into the projection lens when the LitePro is turned on. The bright light may harm your eyes. Be especially careful to keep children from looking into the lens.

iii

S a f e t y	S u m m a r y

CAUTION: Be sure to replace the projection bulb when the lamp monitor light comes on as described on page 43. If the lamp remains in use too long, there is a danger of bulb explosion. If this happens, your LitePro will be severely damaged.

Power Source

Use only a three-wire grounding type power source. The power source should not exceed 250 volts rms between the supply conductors or between either conductor and the ground.

Power Cord

Use only the power cord that was shipped with the LitePro. Although other power cords might be similar in appearance, they have not been safety-tested with the 210 or 220. Do not use a power cord if it has become damaged or frayed. Contact your In Focus dealer or call In Focus if you need to replace your power cord.

Grounding

The projector is grounded through the grounding conductor on the power cord. To avoid electric shock, plug the power cord into a properly wired receptacle. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding-type plug.

Fuse

For continued protection against the risk of fire, use only the specified fuse. It must be a time delay, high breaking capacity 5x20mm fuse with the following amperages: for 6.3amp use T6.3AH, for 8amp use T8AH. Refer to page 55 for more information about fuse specifications and to page 45 for instructions on replacing the fuse.

Lamp

To avoid overheating and unacceptable image quality, replace the projection lamp with a lamp of the specified type. Refer to page 56 for lamp specifications and to page 43 for instructions on replacing the lamp.

Lamp Compartment

To avoid burns or an explosion hazard, do not open the lamp module door until the projector is turned off and the lamp has cooled. The hot lamp contains high pressure and can explode if damaged or old. Follow the instructions in this manual for lamp replacement carefully.

iv

Hot Surfaces

Allow the projector to cool at least 45 minutes before replacing a lamp. When you open the lamp housing, be very careful not to touch the hot surfaces inside.

Ventilation and Overheating

Openings in the projector case provide ventilation to protect it from overheating. Keep loose papers and other objects well away from the bottom, top and side grills. Do not place the projector on top of or close to a computer or other heat-producing equipment.

Liquid Spills

Do not set drinks on top of the projector. Spilled liquids can flow inside and cause damage.

Do Not Disassemble

All LitePro service must be performed by an authorized In Focus service center. The only user-serviceable part in the LitePro is the projection lamp, which you can replace by opening the lamp cover on the bottom of the projector (see page 43). Do not open any other part of the LitePro. If your LitePro needs repair, call In Focus Technical Support as described on page 4. Before you call Technical Support, you may want to refer to “Troubleshooting” starting on page 49 to see if you can resolve the problem yourself.

Don’t Set the LitePro on its Lens

To protect the lens when you are transporting the LitePro, adjust the lens so it is fully retracted (turn it clockwise) before you pack it.

Place the LitePro in its carrying case with the lens facing upwards. You may damage the LitePro if you set it on its lens.

NOTE: If you open the LitePro

case, you will void the warranty.

Introduction

INTRODUCTION

The In Focus Systems LitePro® 210 and 220 multimedia projectors combine powerful and sophisticated features with easy-to- use, intuitive controls. Built-in multimedia features include audio by JBL™, a palette of 16.7 million colors and active matrix liquid crystal display (LCD) technology. The 200 series projectors are ideal for high-performance business, training and imaging applications that demand exceptional color quality. The 210 has VGA graphics, the 220 has SVGA graphics. The user interfaces of the two products are identical; information in this User’s Guide applies to both products.

Image Resolution

LitePro 210

The VGA resolution of the 210’s projected image is 640x480. It displays computer images just as they appear on your computer’s monitor. Screen resolutions between 640x480 and 800x600 are compressed to 640x480. The 210 cannot compress screen resolutions above 800x600. If your computer’s screen resolution is higher than 800x600, reset it to a lower resolution before you connect the 210.

LitePro 220

The SVGA resolution of the 220’s projected image is 800x600. It displays computer images just as they appear on your computer’s monitor. Screen resolutions between 800x600 and 1024x768 are compressed to 800x600. The 220 cannot compress screen resolutions above 1024x768. If your computer’s screen resolution is higher than 1024x768, reset it to a lower resolution before you connect the 220.

NOTE: The 220 automatically expands 640x480 images to 800x600. You can display these images at 640x480 by turning off the Auto Resize feature. See “Auto Resize” on page 37 for more information.

NOTE: If the LitePro overheats and turns off, you must wait about 45 seconds before you attempt to turn it back on.

Usage Guidelines

•Do not look directly into the projection lens when the projector is turned on. The bright light may harm your eyes.

•The top and bottom of the projector can be very hot to the touch after use. Use extreme care or let it cool before lifting it.

•Do not block the grills at the front or top of the projector. 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.

•Transport the projector in a vendor-approved hard or soft case. Part numbers for these cases are listed on page 57. Call your In Focus dealer to order.

Setting up the Projector

SETTING UP THE PROJECTOR

1Place the projector on a flat surface.

•The projector must be within 10 feet of your power source and within 10 feet of your computer.

•If you want to project from behind a translucent screen, set up the projector behind your screen. See “Rear Projection” on page 40 to reverse the image.

•If you are installing the projector on the ceiling, refer to the

LitePro 200 Series Ceiling Mount Installation Guide for more information. To turn the image upside down, see “Ceiling” on page 39. The Ceiling Mount Kit is sold separately; see page 58.

2Position the projector the desired distance from the screen.

•The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen determines the size of the projected image. Figure 2 shows three projected image sizes using the varifocal lens or the zoom lens at minimum focusing distance. For more information about image size, see “Projected Image Size” on page 64.

3Make sure the projector and your computer are turned off.

NOTE: An optional extension cable, sold separately, lets you increase the distance between the projector and your computer to 50 feet. See “Accessories” on

page 57.
