CAUTION TO PREVENT SHOCK, DO NOT OPEN THE CABINET. NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED PLUS SERVICE PERSONNEL. This symbol warns the user that uninsulated voltage within the unit may have sufficient magnitude to cause electric shock. Therefore, it is dangerous to make any kind of contact with any part inside of this unit. This symbol alerts the user that important literature concerning the operation and maintenance of this unit has been included. Therefore, it should be read carefully in order to avoid any problems. The above cautions are given on the bottom of the product. WARNING TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. DO NOT USE THIS UNIT'S GROUNDED PLUG WITH AN EXTENSION CORD OR IN AN OUTLET UNLESS ALL THREE PRONGS CAN BE FULLY INSERTED. DO NOT OPEN THE CABINET. THERE ARE HIGH-VOLTAGE COMPONENTS INSIDE. ALL SERVICING MUST BE DONE BY QUALIFIED PLUS SERVICE PERSONNEL. WARNING This is a class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures. RF Interference WARNING The Federal Communications Commission does not allow any modifications or changes to the unit EXCEPT those specified by PLUS Vision in this manual. Failure to comply with this government regulation could void your right to operate this equipment. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. 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. · 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. E-4 Major Features Book-sized, lightweight (at about 1.1 kg/2.4 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. 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. 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.)
