• minimal space requirem ents thanks to s mall housing
• easy to transport thanks to its l ow wei ght
• quiet operation
• high degree of brightness and good c ont rast
• Automatic Room Li ght Sensing – ARLS
• high resolution (1024x768); ot her resolutions (640x480 through 1280x1024) are converted to
1024x768
• presentation of up to 16.7 million colours (in conjunction wit h an appropriate graphics card)
• automatic sc anni ng of all horizontal frequenci es from 15 kHz to 100 kHz and all refresh rates
(vertical frequenc i es) from 43,5 Hz to 120 Hz (al l absolutely fl i cker-free)
• freely adjustable colour alignment for matching the screen colours to the colours of various
input and output devices

This Operating Manual cont ai ns important informat i on you require to start up and run y our proj ector.
A graphics card (s creen controller) with VG A or DVI interface is required to control the proj ector.
The projector processes the data supplied to it by the graphics c ard. The screen controller/t he
associated driv er software is respons i bl e for setting the modes (resolution and refresh rat e).
In connection wit h the (optional) video module, the projector can also be used with a video camera
or a compatible signal source.
When you operate the computer with an analogue signal source f or the first time, you should adjust
the projected image for t he video card and set it t o your requirements (see section "Settings using
the OSD menu").
Target group
You don't need to be an "expert " to perform the operations described here. Do, however, read the
chapter "Important notes" in the Operating Manual of the computer and in this Operating Manual.
In the event of any probl em s occurring, please contact your sales outlet or our cust om er service
centre.

Manufacturer’s notes
Energy Star
The Fujitsu Siemens proj ector XP50 is designed to conserve elect ricity by
dropping to less than 9 W when it goes into standby, suspend and OFF
mode. With this new power m anagement the XP50 qualif i es for the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Energy Star Computers award.
The EPA estimates that comput er equipment uses 5% percent of all business electricity and that
this is growing rapidly. If all desktop computers and peripheral s enter a low-power mode when not in
use, the overall savings in electricity could amount t o $ 2 thousand million annually. These savi ngs
could also prevent the emiss i on of 20 million tons of carbon dioxide into the at mosphere - the
equivalent of 5 million automobiles.
As an Energy Star P art ner, Fujitsu Siemens Computers GmbH has determ i ned that this product
meets the Energy S t ar gui del i nes for energy effic i ency.
CE certificate
The shipped version of t hi s device complies with the requirements of the EEC
directives 89/336/EE C "E lec tromagnetic compatibility" and 73/ 23/ EEC "Low voltage
directive".

below.
The basic colour red and blue on a dark background do not achieve t he m i ni mum contrast of 3:1
and should not be used.
When using several colours for characters and background and giving the prim ary colours full
modulation, you can obtain very suitabl e colour combinations (see the following table):
-Colour combination not s ui t abl e because colour locati ons are too close toget her, thin
characters are not ident i fiable or rigorous focus i ng i s demanded of the human eye.
