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 (main’s 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 (main’s 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.  
Remove the wireless LAN card.  
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.

Major Features  
Ultra-light (1.6 kg), high brightness mobile projector with wireless, computer-less pre-  
sentation function  
The efficiency of the use of light is improved thanks to the combination of the DLP™ system and a unique optical design. The  
three primary colors necessary for expressing colors (red, green and blue) are produced with a single DMD (an ultra-high  
precision digital device), thereby achieving high brightness, compact size and light weight. In addition, wireless LAN technol-  
ogy enables wireless presentations without the need to connect the projector to a computer using an RGB cable. The image  
viewer function can be used to present PowerPoint files (including picture files and animations) stored on a CF card without  
a computer.(*1)  
*1. For details, refer to the “Image Viewer / Network” manual.  
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.  
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.  
Great moving image playback capabilities using the same principles as DLP Cinema™  
technology  
Plus DLP type projectors have the same makings as the DLP Cinema™ technology used in movie theaters. Because of their  
extremely fast response, even images with much movement – sports, movies – play smoothly without blurring.  
Security lock function  
The lock can be set so that a password must be input when the projector is started up. Without the correct password, no  
operations other than turning the power on and off can be performed. This function effectively protects the projector from  
unauthorized use.  
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.  
There is also a built-in “Presentation Timer” function for further presentation convenience.  
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.  
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.

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 STANDBY  
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

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 1500 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 lamps service life is reached, the power is set to the standby mode  
and no longer turns on.  
Contact a store that sells the U4-237 for a replacement lamp. Indicate you need a U4-150 replacement lamp for the  
U4-232/U4-237 (order code 28-061).  
CAUTION  
• Replacement of the lamp cartridge is performed after switching off the power, waiting for the cooling fan to stop,  
disconnecting the power plug from the power outlet, and then leaving the projector for about 60 minutes before  
replacement is started. Replacement of the lamp cartridge during operation or immediately after operation stops will  
cause burns because of the high temperature.  
• Do not remove any screws other than those specified.  
• Do not touch the lamp with bare hands. Doing so could shorten the life of the lamp.  
• If lamp has reached the end of its usable life, the lamp bulb may shatter. When this happens, an explosive sound can  
be heard and pieces of glass may be scattered in the lamp cartridge. Do not touch them as the pieces of glass may  
cause injury. If this happens, contact your dealer or the store the projector was purchased.

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 projectors 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 U4-237 for a replacement lamp. Indicate you need a U4-150 replacement lamp for the U4-232/U4-237 (order
