IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Precautions
Please read this manual carefully before using your OLYMPUS Data Projector VP-1 and keep
the manual handy for future reference.
WARNING
This is a class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio inter-
ference 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 OLYMPUS 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 rea-
sonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio fre-
quency 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 complies with Canadian ICES-003.
CAUTION
TO PREVENT SHOCK, DO NOT OPEN THE CABINET. NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS
INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED OLYMPUS DIGITAL TECHNICAL SUPPORT.
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 opera-
tion 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 MOIS-
TURE. 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 SER-
VICING MUST BE DONE BY QUALIFIED OLYMPUS DIGITAL TECHNICAL SUPPORT.

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 pay attention to 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.
• The socket-outlet shall be installed near the unit and shall be accessible.
• Handle the power cable carefully and avoid excessive bending. A damaged cable 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 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 damage 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 attach-
ment, 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 1100 hours of usage, the lamp will turn off.IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION 
						

							E-4 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, immedi-
ately disconnect the power cable from the unit and have the object removed by a quali-
fied Olympus Digital Technical Support.
• Do not place any liquids on top of the unit.
Warnings
• Do not look into the lens while the unit is on. Serious damage to your eyes could
result.
• Keep any items such as magnifying glass out of the light path of the projector. The
light being projected from the lens is extensive, therefore any kind of abnormal
objects that can redirect light coming out of the lens, can cause unpredictable
outcome such as fire or injury to the eyes.
• Do not cover the lens with the supplied lens cap or equivalent while the projector
is on. Doing so can lead to melting of the cap and possibly burning your hands due
to the heat emitted from the light output. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Major Features
Book-sized, lightweight (at about 1.1 kg/2.4 lbs) and small high-inten-
sity 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 fea-
tures.
Sharp, clear pictureThe absence of RGB color infidelity and the inconspicuous gaps between the individual pixels permit
the display of small characters and diagrams with distinct clarity. An up-close look reveals the differ-
ence even more.
High contrast ration of 2000:1Use 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 sharp-
ness 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 pictureThe 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 dis-
tortion of the projected picture
New technology is used to correct the horizontal keystone distortion in addition to the regular key-
stone correction. This permits even simpler setup adjustments.
Connection permitted for personal computers equipped with DVI con-
nectors
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 connec-
tor. See the Table of Supported Frequencies on Page E-70 for information about display resolution.)
