This Operating Manual contains important information you require to start up and run your projector.
A graphics card (screen controller) with VGA or DVI interface is required to control the projector.
The projector processes the data supplied to it by the graphics card. The screen controller/the
associated driver software is responsible for setting the modes (resolution and refresh rate).
In connection with the (optional) video module, the projector can also be used with a video camera
or a compatible signal source.
When you operate the computer with an analogue signal source for the first time, you should adjust
the projected image for the video card and set it to your requirements (see section "Settings using
the OSD menu").
Target group
You don't need to be an "expert" to perform the operations described here. Do, however, read the
chapter "Important notes" in the Operating Manual of the computer and in this Operating Manual.
In the event of any problems occurring, please contact your sales outlet or our customer service
centre.
Further information
Details of how you set the resolution and refresh rate are provided in the documentation on your
screen controller/the associated driver software.

•Before you operate the project for the first time, read this Operating Manual carefully.
•Never open the unit. The projector contains no user-replaceable parts. Any repairs should only
be performed by a qualified repair shop.
•If the device is brought into the installation site from a cold environment, condensation can
form. Before operating the device, wait until it is absolutely dry and has reached approximately
the same temperature as the installation site.
•During installation and before operating the device, observe the instructions on environmental
conditions in the chapter "Technical data".
•To keep the projector from overheating, never cover it while it is running. Keep all air openings
clear. Do not place the projector on heat-sensitive material.
•Do not operate the projector near any heat sources.
•The projector automatically sets itself to the correct voltage within the range from 100 V to

•The ON/OFF switch does not disconnect the device from the mains voltage. To completely
disconnect the mains voltage, remove the power plug from the socket.
•If you do not use the projector for a longer period of time, shut off the power source completely
(for example, by switching off a power bar) or disconnect the power cable from the projector.
•Use only the included power cable or a cable that is approved for your country.
•Lay all cables so that nobody can stand on them or trip over them. When attaching the device,
observe the relevant notes in the chapter "Remote control".
•No data transmission cable should be connected or disconnected during a thunderstorm.
•Make sure that no objects (e.g. jewellery chains, paper clips, etc.) or liquids get inside the
device (danger of electric shock, short circuit).
•If you notice an unusual smell, see smoke, and in emergencies (e.g. damaged casing,
components or cables, penetration of liquids or foreign matter), switch the unit off, disconnect
the power plug and contact your sales outlet or our customer service centre.
•Only qualified technicians should repair the device. Unauthorised opening and incorrect repair
may greatly endanger the user (electric shock, fire risk).

Manufacturer’s notes
Energy Star The Fujitsu Siemens projector XP50 is designed to conserve electricity by
dropping to less than 9 W when it goes into standby, suspend and OFF
mode. With this new power management the XP50 qualifies for the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Energy Star Computers award.
The EPA estimates that computer equipment uses 5% percent of all business electricity and that
this is growing rapidly. If all desktop computers and peripherals enter a low-power mode when not in
use, the overall savings in electricity could amount to $ 2 thousand million annually. These savings
could also prevent the emission of 20 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere - the
equivalent of 5 million automobiles.
As an Energy Star Partner, Fujitsu Siemens Computers GmbH has determined that this product
meets the Energy Star guidelines for energy efficiency.

Setting up the projector
We recommend that you place your projector on a surface with good anti-slip qualities. In view of
the multitude of different finishes and varnishes used on furniture, it is possible that the rubber feet
of the projector as well as the high temperatures at the bottom of the projector will mark the surface
the projector stands on.
The projector can also be mounted underneath the ceiling. The projector has a mounting socket on
its bottom for this purpose. For suitable ceiling mounts, check with your dealer.
