iv

Important Information

Fire and Shock Precautions

•Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are unobstructed to prevent the build-up of heat inside your projector (see page ix, x).

•Do not try to touch the ventilation outlet on the rear as it can become heated while the projector is turned on and immediately after the projector is turned off.

•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 project. If something should fall into your projector, disconnect it immediately and have the object removed by qualified service personnel.

•Do not place any objects on top of the projector.

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

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

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

•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.

•Do not cover the lens with the black 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.

•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.

•Handle the power cable carefully. A damaged or frayed power cable can cause electric shock or fire.

Do not use any power cables other than the one supplied by NEC. Do not bend or tug the power cable excessively.

Do not place the power cable under the projector, or any heavy object. Do not cover the power cable with other soft materials such as rugs. Do not heat the power cable

Do not handle the power plug with wet hands.

v

Important Information

•Turn off the projector, unplug the power cable and have the projector serviced by qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

When the power cable or plug is damaged or frayed.

If liquid has been spilled into the projector, or if it has been exposed to rain or water.

If the projector does not operate normally when you follow the instructions described in this user's manual.

If the projector has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.

If the projector exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service.

•Disconnect the power cable and any other cables before carrying the projector.

•Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable if the projector is not to be used for an extended period of time.

•When using a LAN cable:

For safety, do not connect to the connector for peripheral device wiring that might have excessive voltage.

•Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable before cleaning the cabinet or replacing the lamp.

CAUTION:

•Always carry your projector by using the carrying handle.

•Do not use the tilt-foot for purposes other than originally intended. Misuses such as using the tilt foot to carry or hang (from the wall or ceiling) the projector can cause damage to the projector.

•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.

•Do not unplug the power cable from the wall outlet or projector when the projector is powered on. Doing so can cause damage to the AC IN connector of the projector and (or) the prong plug of the power cable.

•To turn off the AC power supply when the projector is powered on, use a power strip equipped with a switch and a breaker.

•The projector can be unplugged during its cool down period after it is turned off.

•Do not try to touch the ventilation outlet on the rear as it can become heated while the projector is turned on and immediately after the projector is turned off.

•Do not turn off the AC power for 60 seconds after the lamp is turned on and while the POWER indicator is blinking green. Doing so could cause premature lamp failure.

•Do not place your hands near the lens opening while shifting the lens. Shifting the lens could pinch your fingers or hands causing injury.

vi

Important Information

Remote Control Precautions

•Handle the remote control carefully.

•If the remote control gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.

•Avoid excessive heat and humidity.

•Do not heat, take apart, or throw batteries into fire.

•If you will not be using the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries.

•Ensure that you have the batteries' polarity (+/–) aligned correctly.

•Do not use new and old batteries together, or use different types of batteries together.

•Dispose of used batteries according to your local regulations.

Lamp Replacement

To replace either of the lamps, follow all instructions provided on page 112. Be sure to replace the lamp when the following is displayed on the screen:

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 dealer for lamp replacement.

Important Lamp Characteristic

The projector has a high-pressure mercury lamp as a light source.

A characteristic of mercury lamps is that brightness gradually decreases with age. Also repeatedly turning the lamp on and off will increase the possibility of reduced brightness.

CAUTION:

When removing the lamp from a ceiling-mounted projector, make sure that no one is under the projector. Glass fragments could fall if the lamp has been burned out.

CAUTION:

In rare cases the lamp bulb may burn out during normal operation and cause glass dust or shards to be discharged outward from the rear exhaust vent.

Do not inhale or do not touch glass dust or shards. Doing so could result in injury.

vii

Important Information

[Important 1] Operating the Lamp Continuously

If using the projector continuously for a long period, use of the menu (OSD) is recommended in order to properly cycle the lamps as described below.

To use the projector continuously in the dual lamp mode

Allow 2 hours per day of non usage time per lamp. Do this for both lamps at the same time or for “Lamp 1” and “Lamp 2” at separate 2 hour intervals.

To use the projector continuously in single lamp mode

Use the two lamps (Lamp 1 and Lamp 2) alternately in a cycle of 24 hours or less. Allow 2 hours or longer per day of no-use time for each lamp.

Contact your dealer for more details.

Note:

If using the menu, select "Off" for "Lamp Interval" from the on-screen menu (see page 82).

viii

Important Information

[Important 2] Clearance for Installing the Projector

Allow ample clearance between the projector and its surroundings as shown below. Avoid installing the projector in a place where air movement from the HVAC is directed at the projector.

Heated air from the HVAC can be taken in by the projector's intake vent. If this happens, the temperature inside the projector will rise too high causing the over-temperature protector to automatically turn off the projectors power.

Example 1 – If there are walls on both sides of the projector.

Note:

The drawing shows the proper clearance required for the front, back and top of the projector.

Example 2 – If there is a wall behind the projector.

(1) For floor installation:

Note:

The drawing shows the proper clearance required for the back, sides and top of the projector.

(2) For ceiling mounting:

Note:

1. The drawing shows the proper clearance required for the front, sides, back and bottom of the projector.

2. If suspending the projector 30 cm/12 inches away from the ceiling, allow ample clearance for all four sides and the under the projector.

ix

Important Information

(3) Upward or downward projection:

When using the projector in an upward projection angle, allow 1 m/ 40 inches or greater between the exhaust vent and the wall.

When using the projector in a downward projection angle, allow 0.5 m/ 20 inches or greater between the exhaust vent and the wall.

1. Introduction

Important:

1.Avoid using the projector with bright fluorescent lighting turned on. Certain highfrequency fluorescent lights can disrupt remote control operation.

2.Be sure nothing obstructs the path between the remote control and the projector. If the path between remote and projector is obstructed, you can bounce the remote signal off certain reflective surfaces such as projector screens.

3.The buttons and keys on the projector have the same functions as the corresponding buttons on the remote control. This user’s manual describes the functions based on the remote control.

Note:

*To turn off the projector, press the Power OFF button twice.

**To turn on the projector, press and hold the Power On button for a minimum of two seconds.

1. Introduction

Operating Range for Wireless Remote Control

The infrared signal operates by line-of-sight up to a distance of about 22 feet (7m) and within a 60-degree angle of the remote sensor on the projector cabinet.

The projector will not respond if there are objects between the remote control and the sensor, or if strong light falls on the sensor. Weak batteries will also prevent the remote control from properly operating the projector.

Remote Control Precautions

The following precautions ensure that the remote operates correctly and safely.

Handle the remote control carefully.

If the remote control gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Avoid excessive heat and humidity.

Do not heat, take apart, or throw batteries into fire.

For extended periods of inactivity, remove the batteries. Ensure that the batteries' polarity (+/–) aligned correctly.

Do not use new and old batteries together, or different types of batteries together.

Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.
