Cautions on Usage
Cautions on Usage
• A wireless LAN card is not meant for use with facilities or equipment involving the safeguard
of human life, such as medical equipment, nuclear facilities or equipment, aeronautical or
space equipment, transportation facilities or equipment, etc., or with facilities or equipment
requiring high levels of reliability. Do not use the card in such cases.
• Do not use a wireless LAN card near cardiac pacemakers.
• Do not use a wireless LAN card near medical equipment. Doing so may cause electromagnetic
interference with the medical equipment, possible leading to death.
• Do not disassemble or modify a wireless LAN card in any way. Doing so could lead to fire or
electric shock.
• Do not use a wireless LAN card in wet or moist places, such as in bathrooms or near
humidifiers. Doing so could lead to fire, electric shock or malfunctions.
To prevent damage due to static electricity, eliminate any static electricity from your body before
touching a wireless LAN card.
• Static electricity from the human body may damage a wireless LAN card. Before touching
the card, touch an aluminum window frame, a door knob, or some other metal object around
you to eliminate the static electricity.
The radio waves used by a wireless LAN card pass through the wood or glass used in normal
homes (but not through window panes with built-in metallic mesh).
The radio waves do not pass through iron reinforcing bars, metal or concrete, so a wireless LAN
card cannot be used for communicating through walls or floors made with these materials.

1-2. Desktop Control Utility 1.0
Desktop Control Utility 1.0 is software that operates the desktop screen of a personal computer
at a remote location from the projector by using a network.
● A commercially available USB mouse is connected to the projector to operate the personal
computer.
● Suppose, for example, a PowerPoint file to be presented in a conference is saved to a
personal computer in your office. If this personal computer is connected to the projector in
the conference room with LAN when the conference is held, the desktop screen of the
personal computer in your office (Windows XP/Windows 2000) can be projected and the
PowerPoint file can be presented by operating the projector. In other words the personal
computer does not need to be brought into the conference room.

Important
• You can use the Desktop Control Utility 1.0 to operate a personal computer located in a
separate room from the projector over a network. Therefore, care must be exercised to
prevent any third party from viewing the screen of your personal computer (important
documents), copying files, or turning off the power.
NEC assumes no liability for any loss or damages arising from information leak or system
failure while you are using Desktop Control Utility 1.0.
• In the Windows operating system, click [Control Panel] → [Performance and Maintenance]
→ [Power Options] → [System Standby] → [Never]. This will disconnect LAN connection
when the personal computer goes in the standby mode while the Desktop Control Utility
1.0 is being used.
• The screen saver function is off while Desktop Control Utility 1.0 is running.
