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.
E-3
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
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 1.0 kg/2.2 lbs) and small high-intensity mobile projector
DMD and the synergistic effects of 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.
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.
Heightened effectiveness with picture in picture
The video image is projected as a sub-picture within the personal computer picture. This expands the
usefulness of the projector even more.
Digital technology corrects the horizontal and vertical keystone distortion of the projected picture
New technology is used to correct the horizontal keystone distortion in addition to the regular keystone correction. This permits even simpler setup adjustments.
Connection permitted for personal computers equipped with DVI connectors
Inclusion of a DVI connector allows the input of analog RGB signals as well as digital RGB signals.
(The supplied conversion cable supports personal computers having a regular analog RGB connector. See the Table of Supported Frequencies on Page 70 for information about display resolution.)

Placement Guide
● Use this information as a guide to find out about the screen size when the projector is placed at a
certain location, or to find out the approximate size of a screen that will be required.
● The projection distance over which focussing is adjustable is 1.2 m (3.9 feet) to 6.6 m (21.7 feet). The
projector should be placed within this range.

* There is a tolerance of ±5% due to design values.
* This table uses the lens apex and lens center as references and requires that the projec-
tor be in a horizontal condition (with front and rear adjusters fully withdrawn).
Installation Height of Projection Screen [Reference]
Once the installation location and position have been decided, the projection height should be checked.
In the case of large screen sizes, there are instances where the image cannot be projected within the
floor to ceiling height.
The required installation height can be found using the following formula:
[Height from center of lens to top edge of the projection] m (feet) + 0.03m (0.1 feet) + Stand height
Example: Using a 150" 4:3 screen and placing the projector horizontally, the required installation
height will be
2.68m (8.8 feet) + 0.03m (0.1 feet) = 2.71m (8.9 feet) (without a stand)
An installation room with a height of 2.4m (7.9 feet) will have insufficient room height even when the
projector is placed on the floor. (Note that the rear adjusters can be raised to lower the projection
screen image.)
