Safety Summary
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 betwe en either conductor and the ground.
Power Cord
Use only the power cord that was shipped with the LitePro.
Although other pow er cords might be similar in appearan ce, they
hav e 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 po wer cord into
a properly wired receptacle. Do not defeat the purpose of the
grounding-type plug.
Fuse
For continued protection agains t t he risk of fire, use only the
specified fuse. It must b e 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 informa-
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.

replacing the fuse.
Lamp
To avoid overheating and unacceptab le image quality, replace
the projection lamp with a lamp of the sp ecified type. Refer to
page 56 for lamp specific ation s and to page 43 for instruct ions on
replacing the lamp.
Lamp Compartment
To avoid burns or an explosion hazard, do not open the lamp

top of or close to a computer or other heat-producing equipment.
Liquid Spills
Do not set drin ks on top of the projector. Spill ed 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

Introduction
INTRODUCTION
The In Focus Systems LitePro® 210 and 220 multimedia projectors combine powerful and sophisticated features with easy-touse, intuitive con trols. Built- in multim edia 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 G uide
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. Scre en resoluti ons 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 res olutions above 1024x768. If your computer’s screen resolut ion 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. Se e “Auto
Resize” on page 37 for more

Introduction
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
