c In addition, the ceiling must be strong enough to support the projector and the installation must be in accordance with any local building codes.

d Please consult your dealer for more information. e Do not attempt to stack projectors on the ceiling.

To Dealer or Installer:

To prevent the projector from falling, install it in a place and fasten it in a way with sufficient strength to support the combined weight (107 kg/

236 lb) of the projector (84 kg/185.3 lb), the lens (10 kg/22 lb) and the ceiling mount(13 kg/28.7 lb) for an extended period of time as well as to withstand earthquakes.

Power Supply

1.The projector is designed to operate on a power supply of 2.8 KW

AC200-240V 50/60Hz. Ensure that your power supply fits this requirement before attempting to use your projector.

2.Handle the power cable carefully and avoid excessive bending. A damaged cord can cause electric shock or fire.

3.If the projector will not be used for an extended period of time, disconnect the plug from the power outlet.

4.Placing the power cord and the RGB cable closely to each other can cause beat noise. If this happens, keep the two separated so that beat noise is not generated.

Cleaning

1.Unplug the projector before cleaning.

2.Clean the cabinet periodically with a damp cloth. If heavily soiled, use a mild detergent. Never use strong detergents or solvents such as alcohol or thinner.

3.Use a blower or lens paper to clean the lens, and be careful not to scratch or mar the lens.

Fire and Shock Precautions

1.Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are unobstructed to prevent potentially dangerous concentrations of ozone and the build-up of heat inside your projector. Allow at least 8 inches (20cm) of space between your projector and a wall. Allow at least 20 inches (50 cm) of space between the ventilation outlet and object.

2.Prevent foreign objects such as paper clips and bits of paper from falling into your projector. Do not attempt to retrieve any objects that might fall into your projector. Do not insert any metal objects such as a wire or screwdriver into your projector. If something should fall into your projector, disconnect it immediately and have the object removed by a qualified your service person.

3.Do not place any liquids on top of your projector.

CAUTION: High Pressure Lamp May Explode if Improperly Handled. Refer Servicing to Qualified Service Personnel.

Lamp Caution: Please read before operation

Due to the lamp being sealed in a pressurized environment, there is a small risk of explosion, if not operated correctly. There is minimal risk involved, if the unit is in proper working order, but if damaged or operated beyond the recommended 750 hours, the risk of explosion increases.

Please note that there is a warning system built in, that displays the following message when you reach 750 hours of operation” Lamp

Running Time is Over 750 Hours!!” When you see this message please contact your NEC Dealer for a replacement.

If the lamp does explode, smoke will be discharged from the vents located on the side of the unit. This smoke is comprised of glass in particulate form and Xenon gas, and will not cause harm if kept out of your eyes. If your eyes have been exposed to this gas, please flush your eyes out with water immediately and seek immediate medical attention. Do not rub your eyes! This could cause serious injury.

WARNING: Do not look into the lens while the projector is on. Serious damage to your eyes could result.

CAUTION

Do not unplug the power cable from the wall outlet under any one of the following circumstances. Doing so can cause damage to the projector:

•While the message "Please wait a moment" appears. This message will be displayed after the projector is turned off.

•Immediately after the power cable is plugged into the wall outlet (the POWER indicator has not changed to a steady orange glow).

•Immediately after the cooling fan stops working (After the projector is turned off with the POWER OFF button the cooling fan continues to work for 3 minutes while the Two Digit INDICATOR "--" flashes).

2.Ne pas exposer le projecteur aux rayons directs du soleil, ni le placer près d'un chauffage ou de dispositifs de radiation de chaleur.

3.L'exposition aux rayons directs du soleil,à la fumée ou à la vapeur pourrait endommager des composants internes.

4.Manipuler le projecteur avec précautions. Laisser tomber le projecteur ou lui donner des chocs pourrait endommager des composants internes.

5.Ne pas poser d'objets lourds sur le dessus du projecteur.

6.Si vous voulez installer le projecteur au plafond:

a.N’essayez pas d’installer le projecteur vous-même.

b.Le projecteur doit être installé par un technicien qualifié pour garantir une installation réussie et réduire le risque d’éventuelles blessures corporelles.

c.De plus le plafond doit être suffisamment solide pour supporter le projecteur et l’installation doit être conforme aux réglementations locales de construction.

d.Veuillez consulter votre revendeur pour de plus amples informations.

e.Ne pas superposer les projecteurs accrochés au plafond.

A l’attention du revendeur ou de l’installateur:

Afin d’empêcher une chute éventuelle du projecteur, veuillez prendre en compte lors de son placement et de sa fixation de la force nécessaire pour supporter le poids total (107 kg), celui du projecteur (84 kg), de l’objectif (10 kg) et de l’ensemble de fixation au plafond (13 kg), pour de longues périodes et de façon à lui permettre de résister aux tremblements de terre.

Alimentation

1.Le projecteur est conçu pour fonctionner sous une tension d'alimentation de 2,8 KW CA 200-240 V 50/60 Hz. S'assurer que la tension du secteur soit conforme à ces caractéristiques avant d'utiliser le projecteur.

2.Manipuler le cordon d'alimentation avec précautions et éviter des flexions excessives. Un cordon endommagé peut occasionner une décharge électrique ou un incendie.

3.Si le projecteur ne doit pas être utilisé pendant une longue période, débrancher la fiche de la prise de courant.

4.Placer le cordon d'alimentation et le âblec RGB tout près l'un de l'autre peut occasionner un bruit de battement. Si cela se produit, les maintenir séparés jusqu'à ce que le bruit de battement disparaisse.

Nettoyage

1.Débrancher le projecteur avant de le nettoyer.

2.Nettoyer régulièrement le boîtier extérieur avec un chiffon humide. S'il est très sale, utiliser un détergent doux. Ne jamais utiliser de détergent forts ou de solvants tels que de l'alcool ou du diluant.

3.Utiliser un souffleur ou du papier pour objectif pour nettoyer l'objectif, et faire attention de ne pas griffer ou endommager l'objectif.

Précautions contre l'incendie ou la décharge

•NEC’s unique DLPTM based light engine offers true color reproduction.

•The XT9000 can accommodate any picture size from 80 to 500 inches (measured diagonally).

•The XT9000 projects images with uniform brightness while colors remain true to their original source.

•The projector can be double stacked without an external frame, producing bright images of 16,000 ANSI lumens. In addition, double stacking offers built-in redundancy.

•An image can be projected from in front or behind a screen, and the projector can even be installed on the ceiling*.

•Supports RGB digital, HDTV and DVD signals as well as most IBM

VGA, S-VGA, XGA, SXGA, UXGA (scaling), Macintosh or any other RGB signals within a horizontal frequency range or 15 to 107 kHz and a vertical frequency range of 24 to 120 Hz. This includes NTSC3.58, PAL, PAL60, SECAM, NTSC4.43, Y/C and 1080p, 1080i,

720p and 480p HDTV standard video signals.

•Built-in telecine detection enables 3:2 pull-down correction with no external processing necessary, eliminating jitter and artifacts to allow for original film source motion quality.

•A newly designed menu system provides for easy setup and operation of the projector.

•The remote control can be used wired or wireless.

*Installing the projector on the ceiling must be done by authorized

NEC technicians.

Throw distance for TL1ZH lens =H x 1.5 - H x 2.5

Throw distance for TL2Z lens =H x 2.5 - H x 4.0

Throw distance for TL4Z lens =H x 4.0 - H x 7.0

NOTE: Distances may vary +/- 5%.

NOTE: Do not use another optional lens TL-1Z on XT9000.

Doing so will not deliver the performance of the projector.
