Important Safeguards
These safety instructions are to ensure the long life of your LCD projector and to prevent fire and shock. Please read them carefully and heed all warnings.
Installation
1. For best results, use your LCD projector in a darkened room.
2. Place the projector on a flat, level surface in a dry area away from dust and moisture.
3. Do not place your LCD 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 LCD projector carefully . Dropping or jarring can dam­age internal components.
6. Do not place heavy objects on top of the LCD projector .
7. If installing the LCD projector on the ceiling:
a. The ceiling must be strong enough to support the LCD projector
and the installation must be in accordance with any local build­ing codes.
b. The LCD projector must be installed by qualified NEC service
personnel.
Power Supply
1. The LCD projector is designed to operate on a power supply of 100­120 or 220-240 V 50/60 Hz AC. Ensure that your power supply fits this requirement before attempting to use your LCD projector.
2. Handle the power cable carefully and avoid excessive bending. A damaged cord can cause electric shock or fire.
3. If the LCD projector is not to be used for an extended period of time, disconnect the plug from the power outlet.
Cleaning
1. Unplug the LCD 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.
4. Clean the air filter with a vacuum cleaner after every 100 hours of operation.
a. Clean the outside of the filter with a vacuum cleaner. b. Do not use water or any other liquid to clean the air filter. c. Do not operate your LCD projector without the air filter.
3. GSGV Acoustic Noise Information Ordinance:
The sound pressure level is less than 70 dB(A) according to ISO 3744 or ISO 7779.
E-2
Lamp Replacement
• Perform lamp replacement in accordance with the instructions on page E-37.
• Be sure to replace the lamp when the Status light comes on. If you continue to use the lamp after 2000 hours 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.
• Allow a minimum of ONE minute to elapse between turning the lamp off and on. High voltage is applied to the lamp immediately when the power is turned on. Therefore turning the power off and quickly back on may shorten the life of your lamp and result in damage to your LCD projector.
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 LCD projector. Allow at least 3 inches (10cm) of space between your LCD projector and a wall.
2. Prevent foreign objects such as paper clips and bits of paper from falling into your LCD 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 LCD project. If something should fall into your projector, disconnect it immediately and have the object removed by a qualified NEC service person.
3. Do not place any liquids on top of your LCD projector .
• Do not look into the lens while the projector is on. Serious damage to your eyes could result.
• Do not look into the laser pointer while it is on and do not point the laser beam at another person. Serious injury could result.

INTRODUCTION1
This section introduces you to your new MultiSync MT830 (SVGA) / 1030 (XGA) LCD Projector, provides a list of materials that comes with your projector and describes the features and controls.
Congratulations On Your Purchase Of The MultiSync MT830/1030 LCD Projector
The MultiSync MT830/1030 is one of the very best LCD projectors available today. The multiple LCD panels enable you to project precise images up to 300 inches (762 cm) across (measured diagonally) from your PC or Macintosh computer (desktop or notebook), VCR, DVD player, docu­ment camera, or even a laser disc player.
You can use the projector on a tabletop or cart, you can permanently mount it on a ceiling*1, or you can use MultiSync MT830/1030 LCD Projector to project images from behind the screen. The remote control can be used wirelessly or with a cable, and you can even use the remote control with the built-in remote mouse receiver to operate the mouse on your PC or Mac. But best of all, the MultiSync MT830/1030 is an NEC LCD projector. That means you can depend on years of reliable performance and crystal-clear presentations!
Features you’ll enjoy:
Simple set up and operation.
Hot air blown from the vents does not bother the audience during your presentation since the vents are located on the front.
A high-performance 150 watt short arc high pressure lamp that delivers 1000 ANSI lumens (MT1030: 900 ANSI lumens) and an operating lamp life is 2000 hours.
A wireless remote control that operates the projector from any angle.
A laser pointer that' s built into the remote control.
The power zoom control enables you to adjust the image to be between 50.8 and 762 cm (measured diagonally).
Keystone correction allows you to correct trapezoidal dis­tortion so that the image is square.
White balance control allows you to adjust the brightness and contrast for each RGB color.
You can choose between video modes depending on your source: "normal" for a typical picture, "natural" for true color reproduction, and "camera" for use with a document camera or low APL picture.
The optional MT Viewer kit allows you to start your presentation even when a PC is not available at the site.
The "image capture" enables you to use the entire picture as a background image or to create slides (optional MT Viewer required).
An image can be projected from in front or behind a screen, and the projector can even be installed on the ceiling.
NEC Technologies' exclusive AccuBlend intelligent pixel blending technology - an extremely accurate image com­pression technology - offers a crisp image with SXGA (128021024) resolution*3. You can select any point on the screen with the pointer and enlarge the selected area.
Supports most IBM VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA(with AccuBlend)*3, Macintosh, or any other RGB signals within a horizontal frequency range of 15.625 to 85 kHz and a vertical frequency range of 50 to 85 Hz. This includes NTSC, PAL,
SECAM and NTSC4.43 standard video signals.
Note: Composite video standards are as follows: NTSC: U.S. TV standard for video in U.S. and Canada. PAL: TV standard used in western Europe. SECAM: TV standard used in France and Eastern Europe. NTSC4.43: TV standard used in Middle East countries.
The remote control can be used with or without a cable, and you can even use the remote to operate your PC or Macintosh mouse wirelessly from across the room with the built-in remote mouse receiver .
You can control your MultiSync MT830/1030 LCD Pro­jector with a PC.
The contemporary cabinet design is compact, easy to carry, and complements any office, board room or audito­rium.
Eight kinds of pointers are available for your presentation.
*1Installing the MultiSync MT830/1030 LCD Projector on
the ceiling must be done by authorized NEC technicians. Consult your NEC dealer for more information.
*2An XGA image (10242768) is converted into an
8002600 crisp image with NEC technology's AccuBlend.
*3An SXGA image (128021024) is converted into a
10242768 crisp image with NEC technology's AccuBlend.

Setting Up Your MultiSync MT830/ 1030 LCD Projector
Y our MultiSync MT830/1030 LCD Projector is simple to set up and use. But before you get started, you must first:
1. Determine the image size
2. Set up a screen or select a non-glossy white wall onto which you can project your image.
Carrying The LCD Projector Always carry your LCD projec-
tor by the handle. Ensure that the power cord and any other cables connecting to video sources are disconnected before moving the projector. When moving the projector or when it is not in use, cover the lens with the lens cap.
Selecting A Location The further your LCD projector is from
the screen or wall, the larger the image. The minimum size the image can be is approximately 0.5 m (20") measured diago­nally when the projector is roughly 1.0 m from the wall or screen. The largest the image can be is 7.6 m (300") when the projector is about 12.2 m from the wall or screen.
