Using LitePort (IN1503 only)
LitePort displays a slide show of JPEG images stored on a USB flash drive 
connected to the projector. This feature can eliminate the need for a computer 
source.
Image File Types
LitePort displays image files in JPEG format only (file extensions .JPEG and .JPG). 
Other file types including PDF, BMP, TIFF, PNG, GIF, etc. are ignored.

Displaying PowerPoint Slides
Follow the steps below to display PowerPoint slides using LitePort (these 
instructions apply to PowerPoint 2007 in Windows; for other presentation 
programs refer to the programs instructions or help file for the steps needed to 
save a presentation as separate JPEG files):
1Connect the USB flash drive to your computer.
2Open your PowerPoint document. 
3This step is optional but improves image quality: Click the Design tab near the 
top of the PowerPoint document window, then click Page Setup. Click the 
Slides sized for drop-down menu and select Custom. Change both Width and 
Height to double their previous values, then click OK.
4Click the Office button in the upper left corner of the PowerPoint document window. 
5Point to Save As, then click Other Formats.
6In the Save As dialog box, click the Save as type drop-down menu. Scroll 
through the menu and select JPEG File Interchange Format.
7Make sure the contents of your USB flash drive are visible in the Save As dialog 
box before you continue - to view your USB flash drive in the Save As dialog 
box, first click My Computer, then double-click the USB flash drives icon 
(make sure you do both of these in the Save As dialog box, not on your 
computers desktop).
8Click Save. PowerPoint will ask if you want to export every slide or only the 
current slide; click Every Slide. PowerPoint will save each slide in your 
presentation as a separate JPEG file. These files are saved in a new folder that 
has the same name as the original document.
9Remove the USB flash drive from your computer and plug it into the  
projectors LitePort connector.
10On the projector, navigate to the folder created in step 8 and then start the 
slide show (for instructions on navigating and controlling the slide show, see 
the Controlling LitePort section above).
NOTE: PowerPoint embedded videos, transition effects, and animations are not 
included when saving as JPEG. However, you can select a LitePort slideshow 
transition effect by changing the Effect in the LitePort menu. 
						

							33 Troubleshooting LitePort
• If images load slowly: Make sure you are using a newer USB 2.0- 
compatible (high speed) USB flash drive. Larger image file sizes may also slow 
down the player; to reduce file size, use an image editing program on your 
computer to resize images smaller; for the best balance between image 
quality and speed, resize images to be 1024 pixels wide.
• If no images are found, or some images are not shown, or you only see folder 
thumbnails but no images: Make sure that images are JPEG file type (file 
extensions .JPEG and .JPG); other file types are not supported and will be 
ignored.
• If you see a blank screen, or a logo, or the wrong input source (computer, 
video, etc.) instead of your images: Keep pressing the Source button on the 
keypad or remote until the LitePort message is displayed (if you still dont see 
any images, make sure the USB flash drive is correctly and completely plugged 
into the projectors LitePort connector).
• If nothing happens when you connect your USB flash drive, and you cannot 
select the LitePort input source as described above: Check the format of your 
USB storage device. LitePort only supports USB storage devices formatted as 
FAT32. Devices formatted as NTFS, and non-storage devices (such as 
cameras) are not supported.
• If images saved by PowerPoint are low quality: Make sure to do step 3 when 
following the steps in the Displaying PowerPoint Slides section above.

Maintenance
Cleaning the lens
1Apply a non-abrasive camera lens cleaner to a soft, dry cloth.
•Avoid using an excessive amount of cleaner, and don’t apply the cleaner 
directly to the lens. Abrasive cleaners, solvents or other harsh chemicals 
might scratch the lens.
2Lightly wipe the cleaning cloth over the lens in a circular motion.
WARNINGS:
•Turn the projector off and unplug power cord before cleaning any part of 
the projector.
•Do not open any cover on the projector, except the lamp cover.
•Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening and removing 
covers may expose you to dangerous voltage and other hazards. Refer all 
servicing to qualified service personnel.
Using the security lock
The projector has a security lock for use with a Cable Lock System. Refer to the 
information that came with the lock for instructions on how to use it.security

Replacing the projection lamp
The Lamp Hours timer in the Projector Info menu counts the number of hours the 
lamp has been in use. Twenty hours before the lamp life expires, the message 
“Replace lamp” appears on the screen at startup.
•NOTE: Be sure to use the InFocus lamp module designed for this projector. 
You can order new lamps from www.infocus.com (in select areas), your 
retailer or your dealer. Only genuine InFocus lamps are tested for use in this 
projector. Use of non InFocus lamps may cause electrical shock and fire, and 
may void the projector warranty.  InFocus is not liable for the performance, 
safety or certification of any other lamps.
WARNINGS:
• The projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp.  The lamp may fail 
prematurely, or it may rupture with a popping sound if jolted, scratched, or 
handled while hot.  The risk of lamp failure or rupture also increases as the 
lamp age increases; please replace the lamp when you see the “Replace Lamp” 
message.
• To avoid burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 60 minutes before you 
replace the lamp.
• Unplug the power cord before replacing the lamp.
• Do not drop the lamp module. The glass may shatter and cause injury.
• Do not touch the glass surface of the lamp module. Fingerprints can obscure 
projection sharpness and may cause the glass to shatter.
• Be extremely careful when removing the lamp housing. In the unlikely event 
that the lamp ruptures, small glass fragments may be generated. The lamp 
module is designed to contain most of these fragments, but use caution when 
removing it. 
• Before replacing a ruptured lamp, clean the lamp compartment and dispose of 
cleaning materials. Wash hands after lamp replacement. 
• When replacing the lamp while the projector is ceiling-mounted, wear 
protective eyewear to prevent eye injury.
Hg – Lamp contains mercury. Manage in accordance with local disposal 
laws. See www.lamprecycle.org.
