SAFETY SUMMARY

Please read these instructions carefully before using your

LitePro 720 or 730. Failure to comply with them 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 projectors.

NOTE: Additional useful details or tips.

CAUTION: Steps to take to avoid damage to your equipment.

WARNING: Steps to take to avoid personal injury.

These graphics are used on LitePro labels.

Attention - Refer to this User’s Guide for important

safety information.

Hot Surfaces - Avoid touching hot surfaces. Do not

touch until the LitePro has cooled.

Do Not Look Into The Lens!

Be extremely careful not to look into the projection lens when the

LitePro 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 con-

ductors 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 projector. 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 power

cord.

Safety Summary

Grounding

The projector 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.

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 41 for instructions on

replacing the lamp.

Lamp Compartment

To avoid burns, do not open the lamp module door until the pro-

jector is turned off and the lamp has cooled for at least 2 minutes.

Follow the instructions in this manual for lamp replacement care-

fully.

Hot Surfaces

Allow the projector to cool at least 2 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 projector case provide ventilation to protect it

from overheating. Keep loose papers and other objects well away

from the grills. Do not place the projector on top of or close to a

computer or other heat-producing equipment.

Liquid Spills

Do not set drinks on top of the projector. Spilled liquids can flow

inside and cause damage.

NOTE: If you open the LitePro

case, you will void the warranty.

Do Not Disassemble

All LitePro 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 (see page 41). Do not open

any other part of the LitePro. If your LitePro needs repair, call In

Focus Technical Support as described on page 5. Before you call

Technical Support, you may want to refer to “Troubleshooting”

starting on page 45 to see if you can resolve the problem yourself.

INTRODUCTION

The In Focus LitePro®720 and 730 lightweight multimedia pro-

jectors combine powerful and sophisticated features with easy-

to-use, intuitive controls. Built-in multimedia features include

audio, a palette of 16.7 million colors and active matrix liquid

crystal display (LCD) technology. The 700 series projectors are

ideal for high-performance business, training and imaging appli-

cations that demand exceptional color quality. The 720 has SVGA

graphics, the 730 has XGA graphics. The user interfaces of the

two products are identical; information in this User’s Guide

applies to both products.

NOTE: The 720 automatically

expands 640x480 images to

800x600. You can display these

images at 640x480 by turning off

the Auto Resize feature. See “Auto

Resize” on page 35 for more infor-

mation.

Usage Guidelines

•Do not look directly into the projection lens when the projector

is turned on. The bright light may harm your eyes.

NOTE: If the LitePro overheats

and turns off, you must wait about

30 seconds before you attempt to

turn it back on.

•Do not block the grills on the projector. Restricting the air flow

can cause it to overheat and turn off.

•Handle the projector as you would any product with glass

components. Be especially careful not to drop it.

•Avoid leaving the projector in direct sunlight or extreme cold

for extended periods of time. If this happens, allow it to reach

room temperature before use.

•Transport the projector in a vendor-approved hard or soft case.

Part numbers for these cases are listed on page 53. Call your In

Focus dealer to order.

SETTING UP THE PROJECTOR

1Place 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.

NOTE: 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 Ceil-

ing Mount Kit is sold separately; see page 54.

2Position 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.

3Make sure the projector and your computer are turned off.
