SETTING UP THE PROJECTOR
1 Place the projector on a flat surface.
The projector must be within 10 feet (3 m) of your power source and within 10 feet of your computer.
NO TE: An optional extension cable, sold separately, lets you increase the distance between the projector and your computer to 70 feet (21 m). See “Accessories” on page 53.
If you want to project from behind a translucent screen, set up the projector behind your screen. See “Rear Projection” on page 38 to reverse the image.
If you are installing the projector on the ceiling, refer to the LitePro 700 Series Ceiling Mount Installation Guide that comes with the Ceiling Mount Kit for more information. To turn the image upside down, see “Ceiling” on page 38. The Ceil­ing Mount Kit is sold sep ara tely; see page 54.
2 Position 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 4 shows three projected image sizes using the lens at minimum focusing distance. For more information about image size, see “Projected Image Size” on page 60.
3 Make sure the projector and your computer are turned off.

Setting up the Projector
Connecting the CableWizard™ to the Projector
CAUTION: Turn off the
computer, monitor and projector
whenever you connect or
disconnect cables.
The CableWizard simplifies the connection process by providing a central hub for all the connections between the projector and your computer. The connectors on the CableWizard are labeled with icons.
Connect the end of the CableWizard cable to the
connector on the projector’s connector panel (Figure 5).
NOTE: LitePro 730 is optimized
for use with CableWizard II. If you
have CableWizards from other
models of In Focus projectors, we
do not recommend using them with the LitePro 730. Image quality is reduced by using a CableWizard
other than Cable Wizard II. The
label on the bottom reads
CableWizard or CableWizard II.
