NOTE: If you open the projector

case, you will void the warranty.

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 projec- tion lamp with a lamp of the specified type. Refer to page 33 for lamp specifications and to page 25 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 30 minutes. Follow the instructions in this manual for lamp replacement carefully.

Hot Surfaces

Allow the projector to cool at least 30 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

All service must be performed by an authorized In Focus service center. The only user-serviceable part in the projector is the projection lamp, which you can replace by opening the lamp cover on the side of the pro- jector (see page 25). Do not open any other part of the projector. If your projector needs repair, call your local Authorized Service Provider or In Focus Technical Support as described on page 4. Before you call, refer to “Troubleshooting” starting on page 29 to see if you can resolve the prob- lem yourself.

The InFocus LP420 is a compact yet powerful video projector that exemplifies the advancements in projection technology tailored for professional and educational environments. Known for its versatility and performance, the LP420 remains a popular choice among users seeking quality visuals and user-friendly features.

One of the standout characteristics of the LP420 is its brightness. With an impressive output of 2000 ANSI lumens, this projector is designed to deliver clear and vibrant images, even in ambient light conditions. This level of brightness makes the LP420 suitable for a variety of settings, including conference rooms, classrooms, and places where controlling lighting may not always be possible.

The LP420 is equipped with a native resolution of XGA (1024 x 768 pixels). This resolution provides sharp images and ensures that text and graphics are displayed crisply, which is essential for presentations and educational purposes. Additionally, it supports a range of resolutions up to UXGA (1600 x 1200), providing flexibility depending on the content being displayed.

A key feature of the LP420 is its DLP (Digital Light Processing) technology. This technology allows for more accurate color reproduction and greater image stability compared to older projection methods. DLP projectors are also known for their lower maintenance needs, as they typically do not require lamp replacements as frequently as other types, which is advantageous for organizations looking to minimize long-term operating costs.

Connectivity is another important aspect of the InFocus LP420. The projector is equipped with multiple input options, including VGA, composite video, and S-Video, allowing it to connect easily to a range of devices, such as laptops, DVD players, and document cameras. This versatility ensures that users can seamlessly integrate the projector into existing technology setups.

In terms of design, the LP420 is compact and lightweight, making it easy to transport for on-the-go presentations or temporary setups. The intuitive interface and remote control further enhance the user experience, allowing for quick adjustments and settings changes without hassle.

In summary, the InFocus LP420 stands out for its combination of brightness, resolution, and user-friendly features. With DLP technology and versatile connectivity options, it is a reliable choice for a wide range of professional applications. Its compact design and ease of use make it particularly appealing for educators and business professionals alike, ensuring impactful presentations wherever it is deployed.
