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 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.

LitePro 760 User’s Guide i

Safety Summary

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 41 for more information about fuse specifications and to page 31 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 41 for lamp specifications and to page 28 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.

Ventilation 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. Spilled 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.

Usage Guidelines

• 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.

• Transport the LitePro in the original shipping carton or approved

hard case (see your In Focus dealer for details on approved hard cases).
