Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Uniden ULP1000 laser pico projector.
The ULP1000 projects big, bright, and colourful images that are
always in focus, yet is small enough to fi t in your pocket. Connect
the ULP1000 to a video output-capable device to spontaneously
share photos and videos, presentations and more, in a big screen
experience.
What is the PicoP® Display Engine?
The PicoP display engine is the world’s
fi rst ultra miniature laser-based projector
engine. It uses red, green and blue
laser light sources, electronics, optics,
and a unique, tiny mirror-like device
that “paints” the image line-by-line on
the projection surface.

11
Getting Started
Install Battery
» Make sure the projector is OFF and unplugged before replacing

Usage Guidelines
Distance from screen
» The projector distance from the screen will impact the
appearance of the image brightness. The closer to the screen
the brighter the image will appear.
There are two main factors to consider when using the ULP1000.
Ambient light
» It is recommended to shut blinds,
close curtains and turn lights down
to make the room dark so the
projected image looks the best.

15
The following is a guideline of what image sizes are possible
under various lighting conditions:
Note:
Image diagonal is approximately equal to the distance from
the projector to the screen.
