ii

Important Information

WARNING

Do not cover the lens with the lens cap or equivalent while the projector is on. Doing so can lead to melting of the cap 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. Doing so could lead to the object melting from the heat that is emitted from the light output.

Do not tilt the projector to the left or right. Doing so may result in malfunction. There is no limit on the tilt angle upward or downward. Select an appropriate option for [FAN MODE] according to the installation angle.

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. Allow at least 4 inches (10cm) of space between your projector and a wall.

Do not try to touch the ventilation outlet on the left front (when seen from the front) as it can become heated while the projector is turned on and immediately after the projector is turned off. Parts of the projector may become temporarily heated if the projector is turned off with the POWER button or if the AC power supply is disconnected during normal projector operation.

Use caution when picking up the projector.

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.

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 (magnifying glass etc.) out of the light path of the projector.The light path being projected from the lens is extensive, therefore any kind of abnormal objects that can redirect light coming out of the lens, can cause an unpredictable outcome such as a fire or injury to the eyes.

Do not place any objects, which are easily affected by heat, in front of 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 exhaust.

iii

Important Information

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

-Do not use any power cord other than the one supplied with the projector.

-Do not bend or tug the power cord excessively.

-Do not place the power cord under the projector, or any heavy object.

-Do not cover the power cord with other soft materials such as rugs.

-Do not heat the power cord.

-Do not handle the power plug with wet hands.

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

-When the power cord 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 cord and any other cables before carrying the projector.

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

Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord 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.

CAUTION

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.

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.

Select [HIGH] in Fan mode if you continue to use the projector for consecutive days. (From the menu, select [SETUP] → [OPTIONS(1)] → [FAN MODE] → [MODE] → [HIGH].)

Do not move the projector by holding the cable cover. Doing so may result in the projector falling or causing injury.

Before using Direct Power Off, be sure to allow at least 20 minutes immediately after turning on the projector and starting to display an image.

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.

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

Caution on Handling the Optional Lens

When shipping the projector with the lens, remove the lens before shipping the projector. Always attach the dust cap to the lens whenever it is not mounted on the projector.The lens and the lens shift mechanism may encounter damage caused by improper handling during transportation.

Note for US Residents

The lamp in this product contains mercury. Please dispose according to Local, State or Federal Laws.

Lamp Replacement

Use the specified lamp for safety and performance.

To replace the lamp, follow all instructions provided on page 159.

Be sure to replace the lamp and filter when the message [THE LAMP HAS REACHED THE END OF ITS US-

ABLE LIFE. PLEASE REPLACE THE LAMP AND FILTER. USE THE SPECIFIED LAMP FOR SAFETY AND PERFORMANCE.] appears. 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.

A Lamp Characteristic

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

A lamp has a characteristic that its brightness gradually decreases with age. Also repeatedly turning the lamp on and off will increase the possibility of its lower brightness.

CAUTION:

DO NOT TOUCH THE LAMP immediately after it has been used. It will be extremely hot. Turn the projector off and then disconnect the power cord. Allow at least one hour for the lamp to cool before handling.

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.

About High Altitude mode

Set [FAN MODE] to [HIGH ALTITUDE] when using the projector at altitudes approximately 5500 feet/1600 meters or higher.

Using the projector at altitudes approximately 5500 feet/1600 meters or higher without setting to [HIGH ALTITUDE] can cause the projector to overheat and the protector could shut down. If this happens, wait a couple minutes and turn on the projector.

Using the projector at altitudes less than approximately 5500 feet/1600 meters and setting to [HIGH ALTITUDE] can cause the lamp to overcool, causing the image to flicker. Switch [FAN MODE] to [AUTO].

Using the projector at altitudes approximately 5500 feet/1600 meters or higher can shorten the life of optical components such as the lamp.

About Copyright of original projected pictures:

Please note that using this projector for the purpose of commercial gain or the attraction of public attention in a venue such as a coffee shop or hotel and employing compression or expansion of the screen image with the following functions may raise concern about the infringement of copyrights which are protected by copyright law.

1. Introduction

“Eco mode” for low power consumption and “Carbon Meter” display

The projector is equipped with an “eco mode” for reducing power consumption during use. Furthermore, the

power-saving effect when the eco mode is set is converted into the amount of reductions of CO2 emissions and this is indicated on the confirmation message displayed when the power is turned off and at “Information” on the on-screen menu (CARBON METER).

Maximum lamp replacement time of 4000 hours (3000 hours in Normal mode) and no need to clean the filters

When used in the eco mode, the lamp replacement time* is extended to a maximum of 4000 hours. * This time is not guaranteed.

Furthermore, this projector uses large 2-layer filters.When these filters are replaced with new ones when changing the lamp, there is no need for regular filter cleaning.

Seamless switch function for smoother screen changes when switching the signal (PA500U only)

When the input connector is switched, the image displayed before switching is held so that that the new image can be switched to without a break due to absence of a signal.

Simultaneous display of 2 images (PIP/PICTURE BY PICTURE)

Two images can be projected simultaneously with a single projector.

There are two types of layouts for the two images: “picture-in-picture” in which a sub-picture is displayed on the main picture, and “picture-by-picture” in which the main and sub pictures are displayed next to each other.

Security function for preventing unauthorized use

This projector is equipped with the following security functions:

-Password security: When a password is set in the on-screen menu, a screen to input the password appears when the projector’s power is turned on.

-Theft prevention lock: A security cable compatible with Kensington locks can be connected to the projector.

-Security bar: The projector has a mechanism allowing a regular security cable (or wire) to be installed.

Wired/wireless LAN compatibility (wireless LAN unit sold separately)

The projector is equipped with a LAN port (RJ-45) for connection to a wired LAN for transferring images from a computer to the projector, controlling the projector from a computer, etc.

Furthermore, the projector can be used in a wireless LAN by mounting the separately sold wireless LAN unit (NP02LM).

Convenient utility software (User Supportware) provided as standard

Seven utility software programs (Virtual RemoteTool, Image Express Utility Lite, Image Express Utility 2.0, Desktop Control Utility 1.0, PC Control Utility Pro 4,Viewer PPT Converter 3.0, Image Express Utility 2 for Mac) are provided on the included NEC Projector CD-ROM.
