Safety summary

Please read these instructions before using your LitePro. Failure to

comply with these instructions could result in fire, electrical shock,

personal injury or damage to equipment.

These graphics are used throughout this manual to draw your

attention to important information about the LitePro:

Additional useful details or tips

Steps to avoid damage to your equipment

Steps to 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 have not

been safety-tested with the LitePro. Do not 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.

Safety summary

iv LitePro 580 User’s Guide

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 63 for more information about fuse specifications

and to page 53 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 63 for

lamp specifications and to page 50 for instructions on replacing the

lamp.

Hot surfaces

Allow the LitePro to cool at least 20 minutes before replacing a lamp.

When you open the lamp housing, 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

bottom, top and side grills. Do not place the LitePro on top of or close

to a 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

All service must be performed by an authorized In Focus service

center. The only user-serviceable part in the LitePro is the projection

lamp, which you can replace by opening the lamp cover on the

bottom of the projector. Do not open any other part of the LitePro.

Introduction

The In Focus Systems LitePro 580 is a multimedia projector designed

for portability, durability, and ease of use. It displays the brightest

and clearest images generated by your computer and video equip-

ment.

The LitePro 580 connects to most IBM-compatible and Macintosh

computers. It also connects to VCRs, laser disc players, and camcord-

ers using any of the worldwide video standards, including NTSC,

PAL, and SECAM. Both computer and video sources have separate

audio channels for better sound quality direct from the projector or

from external speakers. The versatility of the LitePro 580 allows you

to enhance your presentations by switching back and forth between

computer-generated graphics and full-motion video with sound.

Cables and adapters

The LitePro 580 comes with these cables and adapters:

• VGA cable, a Y-shaped cable that connects the LitePro to your

computer and its monitor. Its ends are labeled “LCD,” “Monitor,”

and “VGA.”

• Two Macintosh adapters for the VGA cable.

• Audio/video cable to connect the LitePro to your video

equipment.

Usage guidelines

• The LitePro can become very warm during use. Make sure there

is no flammable material such as paper or cloth under, on, or near

the projector. Use extreme care when handling the projector. We

recommend that you let the projector cool before lifting it.

• Do not block the ventilating grill on the left side of the projector.

Restricting the air flow can cause it to overheat and shut down

automatically.

• Do not place objects on or insert metallic objects in the projector.

• 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.

• Do not expose the LitePro to moisture or dust.

• Handle the LitePro as you would any product with glass

components. Do not drop it.

• Transport the LitePro in the original shipping carton or vendor-

approved hard or soft case.
