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 .

3

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 100-120 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 .

Lamp Replacement

• Perform lamp replacement in accordance with the instructions on page 79.

• 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.

3

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.

This section introduces you to your new MultiSync MT830 (SVGA)/
MT1030 (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 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 is guaranteed for
2000 hours of service or six months, whichever comes first.

• 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 20 and 300 inches (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.
