LitePro 560/570 User’s Guide i

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.

Power Cord

Use only the power cord that was shipped with the LitePro. Although other power cords might be similar in appearance, they

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 drink s on top of the LitePro. S pille d liquids can flow in side 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. Scre en 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.

Remote Control Programmer Kit

The Remote Control Programmer Kit that was shipped with your LitePro allows you to program the LitePro’s remote control to perform up to four different operations on your computer. Refer to the

Remote Control Programmer User’s Guide

Usage Guidelines

• Do not look directly into the projection lens when the LitePro is

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.

• Handle the LitePro as you would any product with glass

components. Be especially careful not to drop it.

• Avoid leaving the LitePro in direct sunlight or extreme cold for

extended periods of time. If this happens, allow it to reach room temperature before use.
