Important Safeguards
RF Interference
WARNING
The Federal Communications Commission does not allow
any modifications or changes to the unit EXCEPT those
specified by PLUS Technologies 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.
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.
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 inter-
nal components.
• Do not place heavy objects on top of the unit.
• If installing the unit on the ceiling:
– The ceiling must be strong enough to support the unit and the
installation must be in accordance with any local building
codes.
– The unit must be installed by qualified PLUS service person-
nel.
E – 2
Power Supply
• The unit is designed to operate on a power supply of 100 to 120
and 220 to 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 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 attach
the lens cap. Also, do not subject the unit to strong mechanical
shock.

Congratulations On Your Purchase Of The U2-
1150/U2-X1130/U2-813 Data Projector
The U2-1150/U2-X1130/U2-813 is one of the very most spectacu-
lar data projectors available today. The unit enables you to project
precise images up to 300 inches across (measured diagonally) from
your PC or Macintosh computer (desktop or notebook), VCR,
document camera, laser disc player, DVD player, etc.
The unit can be placed on a tabletop or cart, or permanently
mounted on the ceiling*. The unit can also be used to project
images from behind the screen.
* Installing the unit on the ceiling must be done by authorized PLUS
technicians. Consult your dealer for more information.
The other main features you’ll enjoy
• Compatible with following various color systems:
– NTSC (U.S. and Canada standard)
– PAL (Western Europe standard)
– SECAM (France and Eastern Europe standard)
– NTSC4.43 (Middle East standard)
• (U2-1150)
Superior brightness of 1500 ANSI lumens, the size of an A4
size/letter size piece of paper, and weighing only 2.6 kilo-
grams/5.7 lbs.
(U2-X1130/U2-813)
Superior brightness of 1300 ANSI lumens, the size of an A4
size/letter size piece of paper, and weighing only 2.5 kilo-
grams/5.6 lbs.
Using TI’s Digital Mirror Device (DMD) and our own optical
design we have developed a geometric effect that increases the
light usage efficiency. By increasing the light usage efficiency we
can better reproduce the three basic colors (RGB) required for
color reproduction on a single DMD. This means superior bright-
ness, smaller size, and lighter weight.
• Sharp, clear images
There is no RGB color separation, and the spaces between the
individual pixels are not noticeable. That means sharp and clear
reproduction of small characters and figures. Take a closer look
and notice the difference in quality!
• Outstanding sharp, clear, 3D like images with vivid colors
when reproducing DVD video and other high picture-quality
data/video sources
Faithful gray scale reproduction makes for more natural image
displays. DVD and other high quality image sources bring out the
true display capacity of the unit.
• Screen not distorted to a trapezoid (keystoning) when pro-
jecting to the height of the line of vision
Because the projection position is already set to the height of the
line of vision, there is no keystoning effect.
Even when projecting above or under the height of the line of
vision, image distortion (if any) can be adjusted using the key-
stone correction function.
• (U2-1150, U2-X1130)
Fully compatible with true XGA; support for SXGA using
advanced intelligent compression technology
The advanced intelligent compression technology enables these
projectors to present clear compression SXGA images without any
line omission.
(U2-813)
Fully compatible with true S-VGA; support for XGA using
advanced intelligent compression technology
The advanced intelligent compression technology enables it to
present clear compression XGA images without any line omission.
• A remote control that can operate the PC or Macintosh
The supplied remote control both operates the unit and acts as a
wireless mouse control to operate the PC or Macintosh con-
nected to the unit.
• The compact and easy to carry cabinet with its contemporary
design complements any office, board room, or auditorium.
