SAFETY SUMMARY
Please read these instructions carefully before using your LitePro
210 or 220. Failure to comply with them could result in fire, elec-
trical 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 hotsurfaces. Do not
touch until theLitePro has cooled.
Lamp Explosion Hazard - If you continue to use the
lamp after the lamp monitor light comes on, it may
explode, severely damaging your LitePro. Be sure to
replace the lamp when the lamp monitor light comes on
as described in this User’s Guide. Refer to thesection
titled “Replacing the Projection Lamp” for information

Safety Summary
Power Source
Use only a three-wire grounding type power source. The power
source should not exceed 250 volts rms between thesupply con-
ductors or between either conductor and the ground.
Power Cord
Use only the power cord thatwas shipped with theLitePro.
Although other power cords mightbe similar in appearance,they
have not beensafety-tested with the210 or 220. 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.
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.
CAUTION: Be sure to replace
the projection bulb when the lamp
monitor light comes on as
described on page 43. If the lamp
remains in use too long, there is a
danger of bulb explosion. If this
happens, your LitePro will be
severely damaged.
Fuse
For continued protection against the risk of fire, use only the
specified fuse. It must be a time delay, high breaking capacity
5x20mm fuse with the following amperages: for 6.3amp use
T6.3AH, for 8amp use T8AH. Refer to page 55 for more informa-
tion about fuse specifications and to page 45 for instructions on
replacing the fuse.
Lamp
To avoid overheating and unacceptable image quality, replace
the projection lamp with a lamp of thespecified type. Refer to
page 56 for lamp specifications and to page 43 for instructions on
replacing the lamp.
Lamp Compartment
To avoid burns or an explosion hazard, do not open the lamp
module door until the projector is turned off and the lamp has
cooled. The hot lamp contains high pressure and can explode if
damaged or old. Follow the instructions in this manual for lamp
replacement carefully.

v
Hot Surfaces
Allow the projector to cool at least 45 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 bottom, top and side 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 43). Do not open
any other part of the LitePro. If your LitePro needs repair, call In
Focus Technical Support as described on page 4. Before you call
Technical Support, you may want to refer to “Troubleshooting”
starting on page 49 to see if you can resolve the problem yourself.
Don’t Set the LitePro on its Lens
To protect the lens when you are transporting the LitePro, adjust
the lens so it is fully retracted (turn it clockwise) before you pack
it.
Place the LitePro in its carrying case with the lens facing
upwards. You may damage the LitePro if you set it on its lens.

INTRODUCTION
The In Focus Systems LitePro®210 and 220 multimedia projec-
tors combine powerful and sophisticated features with easy-to-
use, intuitivecontrols. Built-in multimedia features include audio
by JBL™, a palette of 16.7 million colors and active matrix liquid
crystal display (LCD) technology. The 200 series projectors are
ideal for high-performancebusiness, training and imaging appli-
cations that demand exceptional color quality. The 210 has VGA
graphics, the 220 has SVGA graphics. The user interfaces of the
two products are identical; information in this User’s Guide
applies to both products.
Image Resolution
LitePro 210
The VGA resolution of the 210’s projected image is 640x480. It
displays computer images just as they appear on your com-
puter’s monitor. Screenresolutions between 640x480 and 800x600
are compressed to 640x480. The 210 cannot compress screen reso-
lutions above 800x600. If your computer’s screen resolution is
higher than 800x600, reset it to a lower resolution before you con-
nect the 210.
LitePro 220
NOTE: The 220 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 37 for more
information.
The SVGA resolution of the 220’s projected image is 800x600. It
displays computer images just as they appear on your com-
puter’s monitor. Screen resolutions between 800x600 and
1024x768 are compressed to 800x600. The 220 cannot compress
screen resolutions above 1024x768. If your computer’s screen res-
olution is higher than1024x768, reset it to a lower resolution
before you connect the 220.

Introduction
Usage Guidelines
•Do not look directly into the projection lens when the projector
is turned on. The bright light may harm your eyes.
•The top and bottom of the projector can be very hot to the

NOTE: If the LitePro overheats
and turns off, you must wait about
45 seconds before you attempt to
turn it back on.
•Do not block the grills at the front or top of the projector.
Restricting the air flow cancause it to overheat and turn off.
•Handle the projector as you would any product with glass
components. Be especially careful not to drop it.

•The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen
determines the size of the projected image. Figure 2 shows
three projected image sizes using the varifocal lens or the
zoom lens at minimum focusing distance. For more infor-
mation about imagesize, see “Projected Image Size” on
page 64.
3Make sure the projector and your computer are turned off.
