IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Important Safeguards

These safety instructions are to ensure the long life of the unit and to prevent fire and shock. Please read them carefully and heed all warnings.

Installation

•For best results, use the unit in a darkened room.

• Place the unit on a flat, level surface in a dry area away from dust and moisture.

• Do not place the unit in direct sunlight, near heaters or heat radiating appliances.

• Exposure to direct sunlight, smoke or steam can harm internal components.

• Handle the unit carefully. Dropping or jarring can damage internal components.

• Do not place heavy objects on top of the unit.

Power Supply

• The unit is designed to operate on a power supply of 100 - 240 V 50/60 Hz AC. Ensure that your power supply fits these requirements before attempting to use the unit.

•For PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT, the socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be accessible.

• Handle the power cable carefully and avoid excessive bending. A damaged cord can cause electric shock or fire.

• Disconnect the power cable (mains lead) from the power outlet after using the unit. Before disconnecting the power cable, make sure that the POWER indicator lights in amber (not blinking or in green).

Cleaning

• Disconnect the power cable (mains lead) from the unit.

• Clean the cabinet of the unit periodically with a damp cloth. If heavily soiled, use a mild detergent. Never use strong detergents or solvents such as alcohol or thinner.

• Use a blower or lens paper to clean the lens, and be careful not to scratch or mar the lens.

• Clean the ventilation slots and speaker grills on the unit periodically using a vacuum cleaner. If accumulated dust blocks the ventilation slots, the unit will overheat, which may cause the unit to malfunction. Use a soft brush attachment when using the vacuum cleaner. Do not use a hard attachment, such as a crevice tool, to prevent the damage to the unit.

Lamp Replacement

• Be sure to replace the lamp when the Status indicator comes on. If you continue to use the lamp after 3000 hours of usage, the lamp will turn off.

Fire and Shock Precautions

• Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are unobstructed to prevent the buildup of heat inside the unit. Allow at least 10 cm (3 inches) of space between the unit and walls.

• Prevent foreign objects such as paper clips and bits of paper from falling into the unit. Do not attempt to retrieve any objects that fell into the unit. Do not insert any metal objects such as a wire or screwdriver into the unit. If something should fall into the unit, immediately disconnect the power cable from the unit and have the object removed by a qualified PLUS service person.

• Do not place any liquids on top of the unit.

• Do not look into the lens while the unit is on. Serious damage to your eyes could result.

Carrying around

When carrying the unit around, please use the carrying case that comes with it and, to protect the lens from scratches, always shut the sliding lens cap. Also, do not subject the unit to strong mechanical shock.

Major Features

 Book-sized, lightweight (at about 2.5 kg/5.5 lb) high-intensity mobile projector

The synergy of the DLP™ (Digital Light Processing) display system and our own optical design serve to improve the optical utilization efficiency. The three primary colors (RGB) required in color expression are reproduced with one DMD (Digital Micromirror Device of high precision). These factors have enabled a design that offers both high intensity and small size/ lightweight features.

 Sharp, clear picture

The DLP display system affords RGB color fidelity and inconspicuous gaps between the individual dots, thereby permitting the display of small characters and diagrams with distinct clarity.

 Powerful functions for presentations

A wide variety of easy-to-set functions have been built into the projector, from a digital keystone correction function (used when making settings) that corrects picture distortion, to an auto adjustment function that automatically identifies the PC signal. A presentation timer that supports presentations and a startup logo creation function that permits unhindered logo creation have also been added.

 High contrast ration of 1500:1

Use of a new generation of DMD devices has given birth to an amazing 1500:1 high contrast ratio. By widening the difference of brightness between black and white, you can see a degree of sharpness that is greater than just the brightness based on specifications.

 Beautiful reproduction of high-quality images from DVD

Faithful reproduction of color tones gives rise to the display of natural images. High-quality images such as those from DVD and digital high-definition television broadcasts bring out the display capabilities that are an essential strength of the DLP display system projector.

 Enable RGB output in addition to digital/analog RGB input...

by using a DVI cable to connect the projector with a personal computer equipped with a DVI connector. This will allow fully digital pictures to be enjoyed. Also, by using the RGB output connector, the same image can be sent to the monitor of a personal computer.

 Econo-mode switch function for the lamp output

Using the lamp Econo-mode will extend the life of the lamp and lower the power consumption. By switching the lamp mode to suit your operating environment, you will save on lamp cost as well as contribute to energy conservation and ecology.

To Output the External Output Signal of a Notebook Computer

When projection will be with a notebook computer connected, knowledge will be required for the cable connection and notebook computer startup procedure as well as the operation that follows notebook startup. Please consult the instruction manual of your notebook computer or the on-line help while performing the following procedure.

Check whether a signal is being sent from the notebook computer to the projector.

An indication appearing on the liquid crystal display of the notebook computer does not necessarily mean that an external output signal is being output. REFERENCE: When "Resolution" or "Frequency" is not displayed under "Info." on the menu of the projector, this means that the external output signal is not being output from the personal computer. See "Frequency /Resolution" on Page E-56.

Should a sign not be output from the notebook computer, please try the operation described below.

For an IBM PC/AT compatible computer, press the [Fn] key plus any one of the [F1] to [F12] keys. (See the table below.)

Note: Table information is current to September 2002.

Note:

When the liquid crystal display of the notebook computer and the projector are displayed at the same time, the projected image might not be correct even though the liquid crystal display shows a correct indication. Should this occur, stop the simultaneous display of the notebook computer and try the mode with external output only. Try an operation such as that described in aforementioned Step 2 and try closing the liquid crystal panel which might result in external output only.

• When "Aspect" is set to "Real" by the signal of the personal computer, and the input resolution is higher than the display resolution of the projector.

• When "Aspect" is set to "Zoom" by the video signal.

Note:

After magnifying the image, be sure to use the ZOOM button to bring the gauge value back to "0".

Note

* Zoom and image movement functions are cancelled when the input is switched. * The greater the zoom enlargement, the less distinct the image will appear. The reason for this is that the dots are being digitally corrected

so that they are not conspicuous.

* Movement of the screen will not be possible when the menu screen is being displayed.

Note:

* This function is for the logo. Full-color photographs with many colors that fill the

projection screen cannot be captured. Please make such photographs into a small size.

* Capture ranges that exceed the output resolution of the projector cannot be se-

lected.

* The area outside the red lines of the red frame becomes the selection range for

the capture range selection.

*To match the background color of the startup logo with the background color of

the created image, examine the values (i.e., 0 to 255) of the RGB colors of the created image using image software and set the various values to the custom RGB of the logo background color.

*Pressing the POWER button during the capture will not switch off the power.

This is to prevent the loss of the capture data during the capture (by switching off the power). To switch off the power, please press the POWER button after the capture is completed.

* When a mistake has occurred with the capture, the logo that was previously

captured will also be deleted.

Troubleshooting

Check the following matters before requesting servicing.

Problem

Power does not turn on

No image is produced

Image is distorted

Image is out of focus

Image is not in proper position and is not displayed properly

Video image is crushed

Check

• Is the power cord plugged into a power outlet?

• Is the lamp cover properly mounted?

• Is the projector’s temperature high? To protect the projector, the power cannot be turned on when the projector’s temperature is abnormally high.

• Has the lamp reached the end of its service life?

• Is a connected input selected?

• Is the cable properly connected to the input terminal?

•When a computer is connected, are signals being output from the computer?

• Does the signal being input have a frequency usable with this projector?

• Are the brightness and contrast adjusted to the minimum?

• Is the STATUS indicator lit a steady red or flashing red?

• When the component signal of the DVD player is connected with the RGB connector and the image is not output, is [Input Settings] of the RGB connector properly selected?

•For an RGB input, has the picture been properly adjusted?

• Is the projector properly installed?

•For trapezoidal (keystone) distortion, perform keystone adjustment.

• Is the lens properly focused?

• Are the screen and projector installed at the proper distance?

• Does the projection distance exceed the focusing range?

Cleaning

• Be certain to disconnect the power plug from the power outlet before cleaning.

• Do not spray or otherwise expose the projector, lens, or screen to volatile substances such as insecticides. Do not leave rubber or vinyl products in contact with the projector for long periods. Doing so could cause them to undergo qualitative changes or the coatings may peel, etc.

Cleaning a Soiled Projector Main Unit

• Wipe with a lint-free, soft, dry cloth. When very dirty, wipe with a cloth that has been moistened with a diluted neutral detergent, then finish with a dry cloth. If a chemically-treated cloth is going to be used, please follow any written warnings.

• Do not wipe with thinner, benzene, or other solvents. Doing so could cause them to undergo qualitative changes or the coatings may peel, etc.

• When removing the dust of the outflow and intake holes, use the brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner to clean out the dust. Avoid using the vacuum directly without attaching the adapter as well as the use of a nozzle adapter.

• Do not scratch or otherwise hit the projector body with your nails or other hard object, since this will cause scratches.

Dirty Lens

• Clean using the same method you would use to clean a camera lens: Use a commercial blower for camera use or cleaning paper for eye glasses. Be careful not to scratch the lens at this time.

Dust of the Intake and Outflow Holes

Dust that collects in the intake and outflow holes will obstruct the ventilation and cause the internal temperature to rise which could cause damage. Clean this area carefully. As a guideline, clean at least every 100 hours of usage.

• Switch off the power, check that the POWER indicator has changed to a steadily lit amber, then unplug the power cable.

• Clean out the holes from the outside using a vacuum cleaner. Use the brush adapter of the vacuum cleaner to do this. Avoid using the vacuum directly without attaching the adapter as well as the use of a nozzle adapter.

Replacing the Lamp Cartridge

• The lamp that is used as a light source in the projector has a limited service life. The rated service life of the lamp is about 3000 hours (when used in normal mode only). This could be shortened depending on conditions of use and other factors. Note that lamp life will be extended when the projector is often used in Eco mode. (The rated service life of the lamp means the average value of lamp life for lamps that have been manufactured over a long period, and it is derived from test conditions at this company.)

• When the life of the lamp is exceeded, the STATUS indicator lights a steady red and the message [Replace the Lamp Cartridge] is displayed on the screen. When this occurs, it is time to replace the lamp cartridge. Please make the replacement following the procedure below.

• If the projector is used another 100 hours after the lamp’s service life is reached, the power is set to the standby mode and no longer turns on.

• Contact a store that sells the U2-1200/U2-817 for a replacement lamp. Indicate you need a U2-210 replacement lamp for the U2-1200/U2-817 (order code 28-300).

CAUTION

• DO NOT TOUCH THE LAMP immediately after it has been used. It will be extremely hot. Allow at least one hour for the lamp to cool before handling.

• DO NOT LOOSEN ANY SCREWS except for those men-tioned in the instructions below. There is danger of electric shock.

CAUTION

Do not use a lamp cartridge other than the PLUS replacement lamp cartridge. Order this from your PLUS dealer using the unit model number.

E-62
