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 acces-
sible.
•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 (1024764 dots), and coverage up to UXGA (16001200 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 Fre-
quencies 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 condi-
tions 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 12801024 dots and the
projector is 1024768 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.

Connecting Personal Computers and Video Equipment
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.
1Check 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 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.
2Should 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 June 2001.
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.
