Safety Summary
Please read these instructions before using your LitePro projector.
Failure to comply with these instructions could result in fire,
electrical shock, personal injury or equipment damage.
These graphics are used throughout this manual to draw your attention to important information about the LitePro:
These graphics are used on the LitePro:
Information that may be unusual or unexpected.
Information that helps you avoid damage to your
equipment.
Information that helps you avoid personal injury.
!
Do not look into the lens!
Be very careful not to look into the projection lens when the projector
is turned on. The bright light may harm your eyes. Be especially
careful to keep children from looking into the lens.
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.

Safety Summary
have not been safety-tested with the LitePro. Never 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 LitePro power cord.
Grounding
The LitePro 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 protection against the risk of fire, use only a fuse of the specified
type. Refer to page 51 for more information about fuse specifications
and to page 43 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 51 for
lamp specifications and to page 40 for instructions on replacing the
lamps.
Hot Surfaces
The rear of the LitePro becomes very hot during operation. Avoid
touching the exhaust grill on the lamp door. Allow the LitePro to
cools for at least 20 minutes before replacing a lamp. When you open
the lamp door, be very careful not to touch the hot surfaces inside.
V entilation and Overheating
Openings in the LitePro case provide ventilation to protect it from
overheating. Keep loose papers and other objects well away from the
sides and back of the LitePro. Never operate the LitePro when the
lamp door is open; this disrupts the cooling air flow inside and can
cause the LitePro to overheat. Do not place the LitePro on top of or
close to the computer or other heat-producing equipment.
Liquid Spills
Do not set drinks on top of the LitePro. S pille d liquids can flow inside
and damage the LitePro.
Do Not Disassemble
The only user-serviceable parts on the LitePro are inside the lamp
door at the rear. Do not open any other part of the LitePro. Opening
the LitePro case will expose you to electric shock hazard. All service
must be performed by an authorized In Focus service center.

Introduction
Compatibility
The LitePro is compatible with a wide variety of computers:
• IBM PC and compatibles, including laptop computers: in VGA
graphics mode at all screen refresh rates; in SVGA and VESA up
to 800x600 resolution at 56Hz and 60Hz refresh rates.
• IBM PS/2 in VGA and MCGA modes.
• Macintosh and Macintosh II series computers with detachable
monitors, including Macintosh LC, Quadra, Centris and Power
Macintosh in resolutions up to 832x624.
• Apple Powerbook computers with video-out port and cable.
The LitePro 560/570 is not compatible with these systems:
• IBM-compatibles in CGA or EGA graphics mode
• Macintosh 128, 512, Plus, SE, SE/30 or Classic
• Macintosh Portable 100
The resolution of the LitePro’s projected image is 640x480. The
LitePro displays computer images that are 640x480 or lower just as
they appear on your computer’s monitor. Screen resolutions between
640x480 and 800x600 are compressed to 640x480. The LitePro cannot
display screen resolutions above 800x600. If your computer’s screen
resolution is higher than 800x600, reset it to a lower resolution before
you connect the LitePro.
Cables and Adapters
The LitePro comes with these cables and adapters:
• The Y-shaped
computer and to your monitor. Its ends are labeled “LCD”,
“Monitor” and “VGA.”
•The
audio/video cable

turned on! The bright light may harm your eyes.
• The back of the LitePro 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 back of the LitePro. Restricting the
air flow through the LitePro can cause it to overheat and turn off.
Introduction
for more information.
