DOC Compliance Notice This Class A digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations. E-2 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. E-3 Major Features Lightweight (at about 1.5 kg/3.3 lb) high-intensity mobile projector The synergy of the DLPTM (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. Sharp, clear picture The DLPTM 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. Built-in viewer allows presentations to be made with the stand alone projector Applicable Projector: U4-136 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 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. A presentation timer that supports presentations and a startup logo creation function that permits unhindered logo creation have also been added. High contrast ration of 1500:1 Use of a new generation of DMD devices has given birth to an amazing 1500:1 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. 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 DLPTM display system projector. 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. 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.
