Important Safeguards

These safety instructions are to ensure the long life of your projector and to prevent fire and shock. Please read them carefully and heed all warnings.

Installation

1. For best results, use your projector in a darkened room.

2. Place the projector on a flat, level surface in a dry area away from dust and moisture.

To avoid premature lamp failure, do not tilt the front of the projector up or down by more than 15° from level.

3. Do not place your projector in direct sunlight, near heaters or heat radiating appliances.

4. Exposure to direct sunlight, smoke or steam can harm internal components.

5. Handle your projector carefully. Dropping or jarring can damage internal components.

6. Do not place heavy objects on top of the projector.

7. If you wish to have the projector installed on the ceiling:

a. Do not attempt to install the projector yourself.

b. The projector must be installed by qualified technicians in order

to ensure proper operation and reduce the risk of bodily injury.

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-2

Fire and Shock Precautions

1. Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are unobstructed to prevent the build-up of heat inside your projector. Allow at least 3 inches (10 cm) of space between your projector and a wall.

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 NEC service personnel.

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

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

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. The projector is designed to operate on a power supply of 100-120 or 200-240 V 50/60 Hz AC. Ensure that your power supply fits this requirement before attempting to use your projector.

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

9. If the projector is not to be used for an extended period of time, disconnect the plug from the power outlet.

CAUTION

1. Do not try to touch the ventilation outlet on the front as it can become heated while the projector is turned on.

2. Do no use the tilt-foot for purposes other than originally intended. Misuses such as gripping the tilt-foot or hanging on the wall can cause damage to the projector.

3. Enable High-Speed Fan mode if you continue to use the projector for consecutive days. (From the Advanced menu, select [Projector Options] → [Setup] → [Page 4] → [High Speed Fan Mode].)

4. 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 Hour Glass icon appears.

* While the message "Please wait a moment." appears. This mes-

sage will be displayed after the projector is turned off.

* While the cooling fans are running. (The cooling fans continue to

work for 90 seconds after the projector is turned off).

5. Do not eject the PC card or LAN card while its data is being accessed. Doing so can damage your PC card or LAN card data.

Lamp Replacement

• To replace the lamp, follow all instructions provided on page E-53.

• Be sure to replace the lamp when the message "The lamp has

reached the end of its usable life. Please replace the lamp."

appears. If you continue to use the lamp after the lamp has reached the end of its usable life, the lamp bulb may shatter, and pieces of glass may be scattered in the lamp case. Do not touch them as the pieces of glass may cause injury.

If this happens, contact your Dukane dealer for lamp replacement.

• Allow a minimum of 90 seconds to elapse after turning off the projector. Then turn off the main power switch, disconnect the power cable and allow 60 minutes to cool the projector before replacing the lamp.

NOTE: To turn the projector on by plugging in the power cable, first turn on the Main Power switch to ON and use the menu and enable the "Auto Start" feature. (See page E-45.) Immediately after turning on the projector, screen flicker may occur. This is not a fault. Wait 3 to 5 minutes until the lamp lighting is stabilized.

When the Lamp mode is set to Eco, the Lamp indicator will light green. If one of the following things happens, the projector will not turn on.

* If the internal temperature of the projector is too high, the projector

detects abnormal high temperature. In this condition the projector will not turn on to protect the internal system. If this happens, wait for the projector's internal components to cool down.

* When the lamp reaches its end of usable life, the projector will not

turn on. If this happens, replace the lamp.

* If the lamp fails to light, and if the STATUS indicator flashes on and

off in a cycle of six times, wait a full minute and then turn on the power.

Adjusting the Picture Size and Position

Place your projector on a flat level surface and ensure that the projector is square to the screen.

Lift the front edge of the projector to center the image vertically.

Move the projector left to center the image horizontally on the screen.

* If the projected image does not appear square to the screen then

use the 3D Reform feature for proper adjustment. See page E-20.

Press and quickly release the SOURCE button on the projector cabinet to display the Source list. Each time the SOURCE button is pressed, the input source will change as follows: "RGB1", "RGB2" (computer or DVD with component output), "Video" (VCR, document camera, or laser disc player), S-Video", "DVI (Digital)*", "Viewer" (slides on a PC card), or "LAN" (wired or wireless signal aired from a PC). To display the selected source, press the ENTER button.

Detecting the Signal Automatically

Press and hold the SOURCE button for a minimum of 1 second, the projector will search for the next available input source. Each time you press and hold the SOURCE button, the input source will change as follows:

→ RGB1 → RGB2 → Video → S-Video → DVI (Digital)*→ Viewer 

If no input signal is present, the input will be skipped. When the input source you wish to project is displayed, release the button. Press the ENTER button.

Correcting the Horizontal and Vertical Keystone Distortion (3D Reform)

Use the 3D Reform feature to correct keystone (trapezoidal) distortion to make the top or bottom and the left or right side of the screen longer or shorter so that the projected image is rectangular. In the following description, 3D Reform (Cornerstone) correction can be done with the USB mouse or remote control, cabinet buttons.

When using the USB connected to the projector

Preparation: Connect the USB mouse to the projector. See page E-26.

1. Project an image so that the screen is smaller than the area of the raster.

2. Pick up any one of the corners and align the corner of the screen with the one of the image. (The drawing shows the upper right corner.)
