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.

Using the LitePro

This section describes how to use and make adjustments to the LitePro 560/570. It also provides a reference to the remote control buttons and the menu commands.

Basic Image Adjustment

• If the image is not completely displayed, adjust the height of the

LitePro (page 18) or use the arrow buttons to center the image (page 21).

• If the image is out of focus, rotate the lens to focus it (page 18).

• If the image still looks bad after you have adjusted the focus,

adjust the signal synchronization (page 27) and/or the tracking (page 33).

• If the colors do not look right, adjust the brightness (page 26),

then adjust the sync again (page 27).

Turning the LitePro Off

It is very important to allow the projector to cool down before turning it completely off. Turning the projector off is a two-step process:

Press the

button on the remote.

Using the Remote Control

Point the remote control at the projection screen or at the front of the LitePro. The range for optimum operation of the remote control is a total of about 25 feet. If you point the remote at the projection screen, the distance to the screen and back to the LitePro should be less than or equal to 25 feet.

LitePro 560/570 User’s Guide 17

Using the LitePro

Focusing the Image

Adjusting the Height

To focus the image, rotate the projection lens until the image is clear. Rotate the lens clockwise for a longer focusing distance. Rotate it counterclockwise for a shorter focusing distance.

Your LitePro is equipped with a self-locking, quick-release elevator foot. If the projected image seems wider at the bottom than at the top, extend the elevator foot until the distortion is corrected.

To raise the LitePro:

Raise the front of the projector off the table by lifting up on the

handle. Press the quick-release button (just inside the handle). The eleva-

tor foot releases. Gently lift or lower the projector to the desired height. When you

release the handle, the elevator foot locks into position. To more closely adjust the projector’s height, rotate the elevator

foot clockwise to raise the projector. Rotate it counterclockwise to lower the projector.

To lower the elevator foot:

• Holding the LitePro handle, press the elevator’s quick release button. Push the elevator back up into the projector.

Always hold the LitePro’s handle when you press the

elevator’s quick release button.

18 LitePro 560/570 User’s Guide

Switching to the Spare Lamp

The LitePro was shipped with two projection lamps. To avoid breaking during shipping, they are not installed at the factory. You must install them before you can use the LitePro. Refer to the “Read Me First” document that was shipped with your LitePro for instructions. “Replacing the Projection Lamps” on page 40 also describes this procedure.

When both lamps are installed in the LitePro, only one is used at a time. The other is available as a spare for when the active lamp fails. The average lamp life is about 50 hours.

To switch to the spare lamp:

• Gently slide the lamp changer knob to the other side of the

projector as shown here.

Text Mode and Pixel Slice

Some IBM-compatible computer display modes generate a 720 pixelwide image which extends beyond the LitePro’s 640 pixel-wide image area. For most computers, the LitePro automatically enables Text Mode, compressing the display to fit. But if you are displaying text that appears to be truncated on the right side, you may need to manually enable Text Mode.

When you enable Text Mode, the LitePro compresses the image by removing every 9th column of pixels; this is referred to as “pixel slice”. There are 9 pixel slice settings. Choose the one that results in the most acceptable display.

Video Type

Television video signal standards vary throughout the world. The LitePro can adapt to the three most common standards: NTSC, PAL and SECAM.

• PAL is used in Europe, Australia, China and parts of South America and Africa.

• SECAM is used in France, some parts of Africa, Eastern Europe and the Middle East.

If you don’t know which standard is used in your area, select the one that provides the best image. The default setting is NTSC.

Maintenance

This section describes how to:

• clean the lens,

• replace the projection lamps,

• replace the batteries in the remote control, and

• replace the fuse.

Cleaning the Lens

Do not open the LitePro case!

Opening the case will expose you to electric shock hazard!

Except for the projection lamps, there are no user-serviceable

parts inside! If you are having problems with your LitePro,

refer to “T rou bleshooting” on page 47 of this User’s Guide. Cal l

In Focus Technical Support if necessary. If your LitePro needs

repair, they will refer you to an In Focus Authorized Service

Provider.

Follow these steps to clean the projection lens.

Apply a non-abrasive glass cleaner to a soft, dry cleaning cloth.

• Be careful not to use excessive amounts of cleaner.

• Abrasive cleaners, solvents or other harsh chemicals may scratch the lens.

Lightly wipe the cleaning cloth over the lens.

If you will not be using the LitePro immediately, replace the lens

cover.

LitePro 560/570 User’s Guide 39

Maintenance

Replacing the Projection Lamps

When a lamp fails, be sure to replace it with another EVD lamp (36 volt, 400 watt). These lamps provide the best performance and longest lamp life.

You can order replacement lamps from In Focus. Refer to “Accessories” on page 53 for information.

Follow these steps to replace the lamps.

Press the “Ο” side of the LitePro’s power switch. Then, allow the

LitePro to cool thoroughly (at least 20 minutes).

Allow the LitePro to cool for at least 20 minutes before you

attempt to open the lamp door! The inside of the LitePro lamp

housing can become very hot. Use extreme care.

While you’re waiting for the LitePro to cool, find a clean soft

cloth that you can use to hold the lamp. You can also hold it with the plastic bag that comes with each new lamp. Holding a lamp with your bare fingers can damage it and shorten its life.

Disconnect the power cord from the LitePro.

Open the lamp door. To do this, push in on the two buttons as

shown in Figure 18. Hold the lamp door open with one hand.

Using the cloth, unplug the old lamp from its socket as shown in

Figure 18. Be very careful not to touch surfaces that may still be hot.

Do not touch the lamps with your bare fingers. Always hold

them with a clean cloth. The natural oil on your skin

concentrates the heat and may destroy the lamps.

Keeping it in its plastic bag, remove one of the new lamps from

the box.

Never operate the LiteP ro with the lamp door open or

removed. This disrupts the air flow, causing it to overheat.

Bulb Guard

Your LitePro is equipped with a lamp life detection system called Bulb Guard. When the operating lamp is near the end of its life or has become degraded, Bulb Guard causes the lamp to blink. When this happens, switch to the spare lamp. After you have finished your presentation and the LitePro has cooled, replace the old lamp with a new one.

Replacing Batteries in the Remote Control

Follow these steps to replace the batteries.

Turn the remote face down in your hand.

Slide the battery cover off in the direction shown below.

Figure 21. Installing New Batteries

Replacing the Fuse

A power line surge or spike can blow the power supply fuse, causing the LitePro to stop working. If this happens, you’ll need to replace the fuse.

Use only the specified power supply fuse. Using a different

fuse may damage the LitePro.

Maintenance

The correct fuse depends on the power line voltage in the country where you are operating the LitePro.

• If your line voltage is 220V to 240V (as in most European

countries), use a 6.3 amp, 250V, 5x20 mm fuse.

• If your line voltage is 100V to 120V (as in Japan, the United States

and most North American countries), use a 10 amp, 250V, 3AB fuse.

A surge-protected power strip is recommended if power

surges are common in your area.

Follow these steps to replace the fuse.

Make sure that the condition that caused the fuse to blow no

longer exists. Turn off the LitePro by pressing the “Ο” side of the power switch

on the side of the LitePro. Unplug the power cord from the LitePro.

puter. (Macintosh computers require a specific power-up sequence: the LitePro must be turned on before you turn on the computer.)

If the image is still bad, unplug the LitePro from the computer

and check the computer monitor’s display. The problem may be with your graphics controller rather than with the LitePro. (When you re-connect the LitePro, remember to turn the computer and monitor off before you power up the LitePro. Power the equipment back up in this order: LitePro, monitor, computer.)

If the problem still exists, read through the problems and

solutions in this chapter.

Troubleshooting

Solutions to Common Problems

If you call In Focus for assistance:

• Display the menu (press the

button on the remote). Write

down the information that is displayed on the left side of the menu. (Refer to page 25 if you want to know more about these values.)

• Find out what kind of graphics cont roller card is instal led in your computer. (This is the circuit board inside your computer to which the LitePro is connected. Most newer PCs use a VGA graphics controller.)

Problem: Nothing on screen

• Is the projector switched on? The “|” side of the power switch should be pressed. Refer to the figures on pages 7 through 10 for the location of the power switch.

• Is the LitePro properly plugged into a live AC outlet?

• If your Lite Pro is plugged into a power strip, is the power strip turned on?

• Is the lens cap still on the projection lens at the front of the projector?

• Are the lamps installed? Refer to “Replacing the Projection Lamps” on page 40 or the Read Me First card for installation instructions.

• Is the bulb burned out? If the bulb is burned out, you can switch to the spare. Refer to “Switching to the Spare Lamp” on page 19.

• Has the projector’s fuse blown? Refer to “Replacing the Fuse” on page 43 for more information.

• Is the LitePro adjusted properly? Adjust the brightness. Refer to “Brightness” on page 26 for more information.

• Do es the cabl e hav e b en t pins in a ny o f th e conn ec t ors? C he ck the pins on all three ends of the LitePro cable. Check the power cord for bent pins also.

Problem: Color or VGA text not being projected

• The brightness control may need to be adjusted. Adjust the brightness up or down until the text is visible. Refer to “Brightness” on page 26 for more information.

Troubleshooting

Problem: Image is not centered on the screen

• Use the arrow buttons on the remote to center the image. (The

menu must be off when you re-position the image. When the menu is displayed, the arrow buttons have a different function.) Refer to “arrow buttons” on page 21 for more information.

Problem: Only the test pattern is displayed

• Are your cables connected correctly? Check to see that the cable

is connected to the graphics port on the computer (this is the connector where your monitor cable usually goes).

• Did you turn on the equipment in the correct order? You may

need to repeat the power up sequence. The equipment must be powered on in this order: LitePro, computer monitor, computer. It is especially important that this sequence be followed for Macintosh computers.

• Is your computer graphics system set up correctly? Is your

computer’s graphics board turned on?

Problem: Image is too wide or narrow for screen

• You may need to adjust the tracking to reduce or enlarge the

projected image. Refer to “Tracking” on page 33 for more information.

• You may need to adjust the resolution of your monitor if it is

greater than 800x600 pixels. Otherwise, your presentation d isplay may appear overly compressed.

Problem: Image is out of focus

• Turn the projection lens to focus the image.

• The projection screen must be at least 4 feet (1.2m) from the

LitePro.

• The projection lens may need cleaning.

Problem: Remote not operating correctly

• You may need to replace the batteries in the remote. Refer to

“Replacing Batteries in the Remote Control” on page 42 for instructions.

Proble m: Image is “nois y ” or streaked

• Adjust the sharpness. Refer to “Sharpness” on page 35 for more information.

• Adjust the sync. Refer to “Sync” on page 27 for more information.

Problem: Projected colors don’t match the monitor’s colors

• Adjust the brightness. Remember that, just as there are differences in the displays of different monitors, there are often differences between the computer image and the projected image. Refer to “Brightness” on page 26 for more information.

Problem: “EEPROM Failed” displays on the menu

• One of the integrated circuits inside the LitePro has failed. The only functionality that is lost is that the LitePro will reset the menu fu n ctio ns t o the ir fact or y defa ult s whe n yo u tur n it off . Call In Focus Technical Support; refer to “If You Need Assistance” on page 3.
