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 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 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. iii S a f e t y S u m m a r y 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 projector is turned off and the lamp has cooled for at least 2 minutes. Follow the instructions in this manual for lamp replacement carefully. 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. Do Not Disassemble NOTE: If you open the LitePro case, you will void the warranty. 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. iv INTRODUCTION The In Focus LitePro® 720 and 730 lightweight multimedia projectors combine powerful and sophisticated features with easyto-use, intuitive controls.
