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.

• 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 STANDBY 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 1500 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.

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.

CAUTION – HOT!

The area around the exhaust vents is hot during and immediately after image projection. To avoid burns, keep your hands away from this area. Wait until the exhaust vents area cools off before touching it.

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

Major Features

䡵 Lightweight (at about 1.5 kg/3.3 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.

䡵 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.

䡵 High contrast ration of 2000:1

Use of a new generation of DMD devices has given birth to an amazing 2000:1 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.

䡵 Great moving image playback capabilities using the same principles as DLP Cinema

technology

Plus DLP type projectors have the same makings as the DLP Cinema technology used in movie theaters. Because of their extremely fast response, even images with much movement – sports, movies – play smoothly without blurring.

䡵 Security lock function

The lock can be set so that a password must be input when the projector is started up. Without the correct password, no operations other than turning the power on and off can be performed. This function effectively protects the projector from unauthorized use.

䡵 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. There is also a built-in “Presentation Timer” function for further presentation convenience.

䡵 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.

䡵 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.

䡵 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.

Connecting Personal Computers and Video Equipment

Connecting this unit with a personal computer permits presentation data to be projected as a large screen display at conferences, lectures, and on other occasions. Furthermore, connecting this unit to a DVD player or other video equipment source in combination with an audio/video amplifier and speaker system will allow you to enjoy convincing home theater.

Connections with Personal Computer

Please check the following before making connections with the personal computer.

• A suitable resolution for the U4-232/U4-232h is 1024 ⳯ 768 dots (XGA) and the maximum displayable resolution is 1280 ⳯

1024 dots (S-XGA). Make changes to a displayable resolution at the personal computer side. Please check with “Table of Supported Frequency” on Page E-62.

• The setting method for the personal computer will differ depending on the specific model. Please read the personal computer instruction manual or the on-line help information, or contact the manufacturer of your personal computer.

• Projection might not be possible when connection is with a personal computer that is equipped with a DVI-I connector such as some PowerBook G4 computers and others when the signal is converted to analog RGB (which uses a mini D-sub 15-pin connector) and connection is made with the pertinent equipment. In circumstances such as this, please purchase separately a DVI-D cable and use the unit through the DVI connection. Note that connections via DVI will enable the projection of a high quality image compared to connections using analog RGB.

Personal Computers with a DVI Connector

• Make the connection with a DVI-D cable and the PC connector of the projector. When connecting, arrange the connectors in the proper orientation and plug in. Turn the screw knobs and fasten to the connector of the main unit.

• The projector has been set to “Auto” at the factory; however, if it does not project, please change the input setting to “Digital” using the menu sequence of [Setup] → [Input Format] → [PC]. See “Input Format” on Page E-50.

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.

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

For an IBM PC/AT, DOS/V computer, press the [Fn] key plus any one of the [F1] to [F10] keys. (See the table below.)

Thermal Protector

When the temperature inside the projector becomes abnormally high, the STATUS indicator blinks red (0.5 seconds on/0.5 seconds off), the STANDBY indicator is a steady red, and at the same time the temperature protector operates and switches off the power of the projector. Should this happen, please take 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

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?

• Depending on the timing with which the power cord is plugged in (the power

is turned on), it may happen that the STANDBY indicator (LED) does not light and the power does not turn on. This is not a malfunction. If this happens, unplug the power cord then plug it back in.

• 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 blinking red?

• When the component signal of the DVD player is connected with the DVI

connector and the image is not output, is [Input Settings] of the DVI connector properly selected?

• For a analog 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.

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 STANDBY 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 1500 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 U4-232/U4-232h for a replacement lamp. Indicate you need a U4-150 replacement lamp for the U4-232/U4-232h (order code 28-061).

CAUTION

• Replacement of the lamp cartridge is performed after switching off the power, waiting for the cooling fan to stop, disconnecting the power plug from the power outlet, and then leaving the projector for about 60 minutes before replacement is started. Replacement of the lamp cartridge during operation or immediately after operation stops will cause burns because of the high temperature.

• Do not remove any screws other than those specified.

• Do not touch the lamp with bare hands. Doing so could shorten the life of the lamp.

• If lamp has reached the end of its usable life, the lamp bulb may shatter. When this happens, an explosive sound can be heard and pieces of glass may be scattered in the lamp cartridge. Do not touch them as the pieces of glass may cause injury. If this happens, contact your dealer or the store the projector was purchased.
