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 3000
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 the DLP™ (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 DLP 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.
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 DLP
display system projector.
Enable RGB output in addition to 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.
Also, by using the RGB output connector, the same image can be sent to the monitor of a personal computer.
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.

It is time to replace the lamp.
Replace with a new lamp cartridge.
The lamp has reached the end of its service life. The power
will no longer turn on.
The projector can be used for 100 hours after the lamp has reached
the end of its service life.
Replace with a new lamp cartridge.
The lamp cover is open.
The lamp cover is not properly mounted. Mount it properly.
The temperature is abnormally high.
•The temperature protector has been activated. If the room tem-
perature is high, move the projector to a cool place. If the
projector’s internal temperature is high, check the cooling fan’s
ventilation slots and clean them if they are clogged.
•When the temperature protector is activated, the power turns
off and in some cases will not turn back on immediately. In this
case wait about 1 minute, then try again.
The fan has stopped.
Unplug the power cable and contact a store that sells the U2-
1200/U2-817 for repairs.
Should an indicator be in a condition other than normal or flash at a rate other than the aforementioned,
disconnect the power cable and contact your store of purchase.
Thermal Protector
When the temperature inside the projector becomes abnormally high, the STATUS indicator flashes red
(0.5 seconds on/0.5 seconds off), the POWER indicator is a steady red, and at the same time the tem-
perature protector operates and switches off the power of the projector.
Should this happen, please take the following actions.
1. Switch off the power and disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet.
2. Check the following matters and take the required measures.
When the projector is being used in a location that has a high ambient temperature, set it up again in
a cool location. Check the outflow and intake holes and clean them if they are obstructed.
3. Wait about 60 minutes until the temperature of the projector drops.
If after having performed the above matters, the problem still has not been solved, please contact your
store of purchase.
STATUS
The lamp will not light.
Wait at least 1 minute, then turn the power back on. If the
problem persists, unplug the power cord and contact a store
that sells the U2-1200/U2-817 for repairs.
E-60
Troubleshooting
Check the following matters before requesting servicing.
• Is the power cord plugged into a power outlet?
• Is the lamp cover properly mounted?
•Is the projector’s temperature high? To protect the projector, the power can-
not be turned on when the projector’s temperature is abnormally high.
• Has the lamp reached the end of its service life?
•Is a connected input selected?
•Is the cable properly connected to the input terminal?
•When a computer is connected, are signals being output from the computer?
•Does the signal being input have a frequency usable with this projector?
•Are the brightness and contrast adjusted to the minimum?
• Is the STATUS indicator lit a steady red or flashing red?
•When the component signal of the DVD player is connected with the RGB
connector and the image is not output, is [Input Settings] of the RGB con-
nector properly selected?
•For an RGB input, has the picture been properly adjusted?
•Is the projector properly installed?
•For trapezoidal (keystone) distortion, perform keystone adjustment.
•Is the lens properly focused?
• Are the screen and projector installed at the proper distance?
•Does the projection distance exceed the focusing range?
•Is there condensation on the lens, etc.?
If the projector is moved from a cool storage area to a warm place and the
power is turned on, condensation may form on the lens or internal optical
parts. If this happens, wait until the condensation has evaporated before
using the projector.
•For a computer input, are the horizontal and vertical positions properly ad-
justed?
•Does the input signal have a compatible resolution and frequency? Check
the computer’s resolution.
•If the image is crushed in the horizontal or vertical direction or if it is not
displayed over the entire screen, select a different aspect ratio.
•When a component signal is being input, is the color space setting proper?
•For a composite input, is the hue properly adjusted?
•From the menu, select "Picture" and adjust the clock frequency and phase.
•Other than [Settings] and [Information], selection will not be possible unless
a signal is being input to the projector and the image/picture is projected.
•Selection is not possible unless a signal is being input.
•Are the remote control unit’s batteries worn? Replace with new batteries.
•Is there an obstacle between the remote control unit and the projector’s
remote control signal sensor?
•Is the remote control unit outside of range?
•Are you pointing the remote control unit’s transmitter towards the projector’s
remote control signal sensor?
•See “When an indicator is lit or flashing”.

Cleaning
•Be certain to disconnect the power plug from the power outlet before cleaning.
•Do not spray or otherwise expose the projector, lens, or screen to volatile substances such as insecticides. Do not leave rubber
or vinyl products in contact with the projector for long periods. Doing so could cause them to undergo qualitative changes or the
coatings may peel, etc.
Cleaning a Soiled Projector Main Unit
•Wipe with a lint-free, soft, dry cloth.
When very dirty, wipe with a cloth that has been moistened with a diluted neutral detergent, then finish with a dry cloth. If a
chemically-treated cloth is going to be used, please follow any written warnings.
•Do not wipe with thinner, benzene, or other solvents. Doing so could cause them to undergo qualitative changes or the coatings
may peel, etc.
•When removing the dust of the outflow and intake holes, use the brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner to clean out the dust.
Avoid using the vacuum directly without attaching the adapter as well as the use of a nozzle adapter.
•Do not scratch or otherwise hit the projector body with your nails or other hard object, since this will cause scratches.
Dirty Lens
•Clean using the same method you would use to clean a camera lens: Use a commercial blower for camera use or cleaning
paper for eye glasses. Be careful not to scratch the lens at this time.
Dust of the Intake and Outflow Holes
Dust that collects in the intake and outflow holes will obstruct the ventilation and cause the internal temperature to rise which
could cause damage. Clean this area carefully. As a guideline, clean at least every 100 hours of usage.
•Switch off the power, check that the
POWER indicator has changed to a
steadily lit amber, then unplug the
power cable.
•Clean out the holes from the outside
using a vacuum cleaner. Use the
brush adapter of the vacuum cleaner
to do this. Avoid using the vacuum
directly without attaching the adapter

Cleaning the Inside of the Projector
Cleaning of the inside of the projector is required about once a year. Failure to clean over a long period while dust has collected
inside the projector could cause a fire or breakdown. Do not clean the inside of the projector by yourself. Please be sure to contact
your dealer.

Replacing the Lamp Cartridge
•The lamp that is used as a light source in the projector has a limited service life. The rated service life of the lamp is
about 3000 hours (when used in normal mode only). This could be shortened depending on conditions of use and
other factors.
Note that lamp life will be extended when the projector is often used in Eco mode. (The rated service life of the lamp
means the average value of lamp life for lamps that have been manufactured over a long period, and it is derived from
test conditions at this company.)
•When the life of the lamp is exceeded, the STATUS indicator lights a steady red and the message [Replace the Lamp
Cartridge] is displayed on the screen. When this occurs, it is time to replace the lamp cartridge. Please make the
replacement following the procedure below.
•If the projector is used another 100 hours after the lamp’s service life is reached, the power is set to the standby mode
and no longer turns on.
•Contact a store that sells the U2-1200/U2-817 for a replacement lamp. Indicate you need a U2-210 replacement lamp
for the U2-1200/U2-817 (order code 28-300).
CAUTION
•DO NOT TOUCH THE LAMP immediately after it has been used. It will be extremely hot. Allow at least one hour for the
lamp to cool before handling.
•DO NOT LOOSEN ANY SCREWS except for those men-tioned in the instructions below. There is danger of electric
shock.
CAUTION
Do not use a lamp cartridge other than the PLUS replacement lamp cartridge. Order this from your PLUS dealer using the
unit model number.

verification display. Press the ENTER button again. See "Lamp Timer Reset" on Page E-55.
Note:
After reaching the lamp service life, if the lamp is used for more than another 100 hours, it will not be possible to switch on the power. Should
this happen, while the projector is in the standby mode, simultaneously holding down the projector's SOURCE button and AUTO button for
more than 5 seconds will clear the lamp timer. Checking that the STATUS indicator is out will show that the lamp timer has been cleared.
Contact a store that sells the U2-1200/U2-817 for a replacement lamp. Indicate you need a U2-210 replacement lamp for the U2-1200/U2-817
(order code 28-300).
