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 1000
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 DMD™ and our own optical design serve to improve the optical utilization efficiency. The three light sources
(RGB) required in color expression are reproduced with one DMD™. These factors have enabled a design that offers both
high intensity and small size/lightweight features.
Sharp, clear picture
The absence of RGB color infidelity and the inconspicuous gaps between the individual dots permit the display of small
characters and diagrams with distinct clarity. An up-close look reveals the difference even more.
Resolutions up to UXGA supported with Advanced AccuBlend function
Full support of XGA (1024764 dots), and coverage up to UXGA (16001200 dots) input signals with the Advanced AccuBlend
function.
Built-in viewer allows presentations to be made with the stand alone projector
The built-in viewer permits presentations to be made without a personal computer using presentation materials (created with
a personal computer) that have been recorded to a compact flash card, or memory card playback* of pictures taken with a
digital camera, etc.
(*Some memory cards cannot be played back.)
Powerful functions for presentations
The remote control with a remote mouse function allows projector operation and personal computer mouse operation, there
is a digital zoom function for enlargement of selected parts, there is a projector pointer function that has several types of arrow
cursors, and the projector is equipped with a connector that supports USB which when used with a commercial USB mouse*
allows menu operation of the projector as well as the drawing of simple diagrams on the screen. (*Some USB mouse products
cannot be used.)
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 other sources bring out the display capabilities that are an essential strength of the digital projector.
Inclusion of RGB and DVI connectors allows more kinds of personal computers to be
connected
(Some computers cannot be used, depending on the frequency of the personal computer. See the Table of Supported Frequencies on Page E-79.)
Econo-mode switch function for the lamp output
Econo-mode saves on maintenance costs by conserving power and extending lamp life.
Advanced AccuBlend
Advanced AccuBlend is a technology that uses digital interpolation technology to convert and display resolutions under conditions that are easier to view when using enlarged displays and when the number of dots of the personal computer output signal
differ from the number of dots of the projector DMD panel (e.g., the personal computer output is 12801024 dots and the
projector is 1024768 dots).
In the method that was in use up until now, a simple thinning out and rewriting process was all that was used. This resulted in
some problems which hampered readability such as when a number of ruled lines in a table would completely disappear and
diagonal lines would be notched. Advanced AccuBlend serves to resolve or reduce such problems.

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.
1
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 the sync frequencies under [Help] → [Information] on the menu of the projector do not display, an
external output signal is not being output from the personal computer.
Should a sign not be output from the notebook computer, please try the operation described below.

A type of PC card. ATA was originally a type of interface between computers and fixed disk devices. The
ATA card is a standard card-type recording medium.
CompactFlash card is a small removable card conforming to ATA specifications. It is one-fourth the
volume of a PCMCIA card.
PCMCIA 2.1 PC cards are divided into three types according to their thickness: Type I (3.3 mm), Type II
(5.0 mm) and Type III (10.5 mm).
A type of image format. The standard Windows Bit Map format used for MS-DOS/Windows-compatible
computers.
A type of image format. "JPEG" is the abbreviation of Joint Photographic Experts Group. JPEG compression offers efficient data storage. The data not required for displaying the image is identified and
deleted. Since the data is deleted, JPEG algorithms are said to be irreversible. This means that once
the image is compressed, the decompressed image it is not the same as the original image.

It is time to replace the lamp.
Replace with a new lamp cartridge.
The lamp has reached the end of its service life. The power
will no longer turn on.
The projector can be used for 100 hours after the lamp has reached
the end of its service life (when “Remaining Lamp Time” reaches
0%).
Replace with a new lamp cartridge.
The lamp cover is open.
The lamp cover is not properly mounted. Mount it properly.
The temperature is abnormally high.
• The temperature protector has been activated. If the room temperature is high, move the projector to a cool place. If the
projector’s internal temperature is high, check the cooling fan’s
ventilation slots and clean them if they are clogged.
• When the temperature protector is activated, the power turns
off and in some cases will not turn back on immediately. In this
case wait about 1 minute, then try again.
The fan has stopped.
Unplug the power cable and contact a store that sells the U2X2000 for repairs.
The lamp will not light.
Wait at least 1 minute, then turn the power back on. If the problem
persists, unplug the power cord and contact a store that sells the
U2-X2000 for repairs.
Should an indicator be in a condition other than normal or flash at a rate other than the aforementioned,
disconnect the power cable and contact your store of purchase.
Thermal Protector
When the internal temperature of the projector becomes abnormally high, the STATUS indicator will flash
red (at a rate of once per second) and the POWER indicator will light red.
The thermal protector is activated and the power of the projector is switched off simultaneously.
Should this occur, proceed with the following actions.
1. Switch off the power and disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet.
2. Check the following matters and take the required measures.
When the projector is being used in a location that has a high ambient temperature, set it up again in
a cool location. Check the outflow and intake holes and clean them if they are obstructed.
3. Wait about 60 minutes until the temperature of the projector drops.
If after having performed the above matters, the problem still has not been solved, please contact your
store of purchase.

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
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 can-
not 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?
* When the component signal of a DVD player is connected to the RGB or DVI
terminal (analog signal), if no image is produced, have you selected RGB/
component?
*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?
* Is there condensation on the lens, etc.?
If the projector is moved from a cool storage area to a warm place and the
power is turned on, condensation may form on the lens or internal optical
parts. If this happens, wait until the condensation has evaporated before
using the projector.
*For a computer input, are the horizontal and vertical positions properly ad-
justed?
* Does the input signal have a compatible resolution and frequency? Check
the computer’s resolution.

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.
* 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.
Cleaning the Inside of the Projector
Cleaning of the inside of the projector is required about once a year. Failure to clean over a long period while dust has collected
inside the projector could cause a fire or breakdown. Do not clean the inside of the projector by yourself. Please be sure to contact
your dealer.

Replacing the Lamp Cartridge
• The lamp as a light source used in the unit has a lifespan. The rated lamp life is about 1,000 hours.
The rated lamp life is the average life of the lamps produced and tested (under the test conditions of our company) for
a long term, however, it may become shorter depending on the conditions of usage.
• When the lamp usage time (the time indicated at “Lamp Hour Meter”) reaches 1000 hours (when the projector is used
in the normal mode only), the STATUS indicator lights red and the message “It is time to replace the lamp. Replace the
lamp as soon as possible, following the instructions in the manual.” appears on the screen. This indicates it is time to
replace the lamp cartridge. Do so using the procedure described below.
The lamp’s service life will be extended if the projector is frequently used in the economy mode. In this case the usage
time is extended.
• See page E-63 for instructions on getting an approximation of the current remaining lamp usage time.
• 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-X2000 for a replacement lamp. Indicate you need a U2-200 replacement lamp for the
U2-X2000 (order code 28-320).
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.
