IMPORTANT INFORMATION

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 4 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 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. Do not place any objects, which are easily affected by heat, in front of the projector lens or a projector exhaust vent. Doing so could lead to the object melting or getting your hands burned from the heat that is emitted from the light output and exhaust.

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

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

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

11. Do not touch the power plug during a thunderstorm. Doing so can cause electrical shock or fire.

12. Do not handle the power plug with wet hands.

CAUTION

1. Do not try to touch the ventilation outlet on the right and rear side (when seen from the front) as it can become heated while the projector is turned on.

2. Do not 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. Before putting the projector in the soft case, be sure to retract the feet. Failure to do so may cause damage to the projector.

3. When carrying the projector, heed the following:

• Ensure that the power cable and any other cables are disconnected before moving the projector.

• Cover the lens with the supplied lens cap so as not to scratch the lens surface.

4. Do not send the projector in the soft case by parcel delivery service or cargo shipment. The projector inside the soft case could be damaged.

5. Select “High” in the Fan mode if you continue to use the projector for consecutive days. (From the menu, select [Advanced] → [Fan Mode] → [High].)

6. 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 projector is turned on. * While the cooling fans are running. (The cooling fans continue to work for 60 seconds after the projector

is turned off).

7. If you accidentally turn off the main power by disconnecting the power cable or press the main power switch during cooling down, wait 10 minutes and then turn on the projector to resume. This is to protect the lamp.

2. INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

WARNING * Installing your projector on the ceiling must be done by a qualified technician. Contact your NEC

dealer for more information.

* Do not attempt to install the projector yourself.

• Only use your projector on a solid, level surface. If the projector falls to the ground, you can be injured and the projector severely damaged.

• Do not use the projector where temperatures vary greatly. The projector must be used at temperatures between 41˚F (5˚C) and 95˚F (35˚C).

• Do not expose the projector to moisture, dust, or smoke. This will harm the screen image.

• Ensure that you have adequate ventilation around your projector so heat can dissipate. Do not cover the

vents on the side or the front of the projector.

Rear Projection Applications

The projector has the ability to be used in a rear projection application. When used with a third party mirror and frame system, rear projection allows you to achieve a larger image size in less distance than a traditional front projection installation. If space constraints exist, please contact your authorized NEC reseller regarding a rear projection solution. Refer to page E-38 on how to change the projector orientation for use in a rear projection application.

6. MAINTENANCE

This section describes the simple maintenance procedures you should follow to replace the lamp and clean the projector cabinet.

Replacing the Lamp

After your lamp has been operating for 2000 hours (up to 3000 hours in Eco mode) or longer, the LAMP indicator in the cabinet will blink red and the message "The lamp has reached the end of its usable life. Please replace the lamp." will appear. Even though the lamp may still be working, replace it at 2000 (up to 3000 hours in Eco mode) hours to maintain optimal projector performance.

CAUTION

• DO NOT TOUCH THE LAMP immediately after it has been used. It will be extremely hot. T urn the projector off, wait 60 seconds, turn off the main power switch and then disconnect the power cable. Allow at least one hour for the lamp to cool before handling.

• DO NOT REMOVE ANY SCREWS except the lamp cover screw and two lamp case screws. You could receive an electric shock.

• Do not break the glass on the lamp housing. Keep finger prints off the glass surface on the lamp housing. Leaving finger prints in the glass sur-

face might cause an unwanted shadow and poor picture quality.

• The projector will turn off and go into standby mode after 2100 (up to 3100 hours in Eco mode) hours of service. If this happens, be sure to replace the lamp. If you continue to use the lamp after 2000 hours (up to 3000 hours in Eco mode) of use, 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 NEC dealer for lamp replacement.

To replace the lamp:

Preparation:

Be sure to insert the included spacer between the rear foot and the projector’s bottom to prevent the projector from accidentally tilting when inserting the lamp house.

Spacer

Remove the spacer after replacing the lamp.

7. TROUBLESHOOTING

If there is no picture, or the picture is not displayed correctly.

• Power on process for the projector and the PC. Be sure to connect the RGB cable between the projector and the computer before turning on the computer. There are some notebook PCs, which do not output signal unless there is a projector or monitor connected first.

NOTE: You can check the horizontal frequency of the current signal in the projector’s menu under Information. If it reads “0 kHz”, this means there is no signal being output from the computer. See page E-42 or go to next step.

• Enabling the computer’s external display. Displaying an image on the notebook PC’s screen does not necessarily mean it outputs a signal to the projector. When using a PC compatible laptop, a combination of function keys will enable/disable the external display. Usually, the combination of the ‘Fn” key along with one of the 12 function keys gets the external display to come on or off. For example, NEC laptops use Fn + F3, while Dell laptops use Fn + F8 key combinations to toggle through external display selections.

• Non-standard signal output from the computer If the output signal from a notebook PC is not an industry standard, the projected image may not be displayed correctly. Should this happen, deactivate the notebook PC’s LCD screen when the projector display is in use. Each notebook PC has a different way of deactivate/reactivate the local LCD screens as described in the previous step. Refer to your computer’s documentation for detailed information.

• Image displayed is incorrect when using a Macintosh When using a Macintosh with the projector, set the DIPswitch of the Mac adapter (not supplied with the projector) according to your resolution. After setting, restart your Macintosh for the changes to take affect. For setting display modes other than those supported by your Macintosh and the projector, changing the DIP switch on a Mac adapter may bounce an image slightly or may display nothing. Should this happen, set the DIP switch to the 13" fixed mode and then restart your Macintosh. After that, restore the DIP switches to a displayable mode and then restart the Macintosh again.

NOTE: A Video Adapter cable manufactured by Apple Computer is needed for a PowerBook which does not have a mini DSub 15-pin connector.

• Mirroring on a PowerBook * When using the projector with a Macintosh PowerBook, output may not be set to 1024 x 768 unless “mirror-

ing” is off on our PowerBook. Refer to owner’s manual supplied with your Macintosh computer for mirroring.

• Folders or icons are hidden on the Macintosh screen Folders or icons may not be seen on the screen. Should this happen, select [View] → [Arrange] from the Apple menu and arrange icons.
