• About the precautionary zone

By providing a precautionary zone or physical barriers, it is possible to prevent human eyes from
entering the hazard zone.
When the manager of the projector (operator) cannot prevent spectators from entering the hazard
zone such as in public facilities, it is recommended to secure a space of 1 m or more from the haz­ard zone as “the precautionary zone” for the safety of the spectators. When installing the projector
overhead, it is recommended that the distance between the floor and the hazard zone be at least
3 m in the vertical direction.
In the United States, provide a horizontal distance of 2.5 meters from the hazard zone. When install­ing the projector overhead, provide a vertical distance of 3 meters from the floor to the hazard zone.

normal household waste. This includes the projector or electrical accessory, such as a
power cord. When you dispose of such products, please follow the guidance of your
local authority and/or ask the shop where you purchased the product.
After collecting the used products, they are reused and recycled in a proper way. This
effort will help us reduce the wastes as well as the negative impact to the human health
and the environment at the minimum level.
The mark on the electrical and electronic products only applies to the current European
Union Member States.

Outside the European Union

If you wish to dispose of used electrical and electronic products outside the European
union, please contact your local authority and ask for the correct method of disposal.

For EU: The crossed-out wheeled bin implies that used batteries should not be put to
the general household waste! There is a separate collection system for used batteries,
to allow proper treatment and recycling in accordance with legislation.

According the EU directive 2006/66/EC, the battery can’t be disposed improperly. The battery
shall be separated to collect by local service.

Important Information

Notes on installation and maintenance

Do not install or store in such places as those described below.

• Locations that amplify vibrations and impacts
If installed in places where the vibrations from power sources and the like are conveyed, or in

vehicles or on vessels, etc. the projector could be affected by vibrations or shocks that may dam­age internal parts and lead to malfunction.

• Close to high voltage power lines and power sources
It could disrupt the unit.

• Places where strong magnetic fields are generated
Doing so could lead to malfunction.

• Outdoors and places with humid or dust
Places exposed to oil smoke or steam
Places where corrosive gases are generated
Attached substances such as oil, chemicals and moisture may cause deformation or cracks of the

cabinet, corrosion of the metal parts, or malfunction.

To the dealer and the installer

When installing the projector, please see the Installation Manual provided on our web site.

1. To prevent the projector from falling, install it on the ceiling in a way with sufficient strength to
withstand the combined weight of the projector and the ceiling mount unit for an extended
period of time.

2. When installing the projector on the ceiling, be sure to do so correctly in accordance with the
installation manual for the Ceiling Mount Unit. Be sure to use the fixed metal fittings and to tighten
the screws securely.

3. To prevent the projector from falling, use fall prevention wires.

• Use commercially available metal fittings to join the robust part of a building or construction

and the security bar of the projector with the fall prevention wires.

• Use commercially available metal fittings and fall prevention wires that have sufficient strength

to withstand the combined weight of the projector and the ceiling mount unit.

• Slightly slack off the fall prevention wires so as not to put a load on the projector.

• Refer to the “Part Names of the Projector” for the location of the security bar. (→ page 4)

Important Information

Cautions for ensuring the projector’s performance

• If intense light like laser beams enters from the lens, it could lead to malfunction.

• Consult your dealer before using in places where much cigarette smoke or dust is present.

• When the same still image is projected for a long period of time with a computer, etc. the pattern
of the image may remain on the screen after the projection is stopped, but it will disappear after
a while. This happens due to the properties of liquid crystal panels, and is not a malfunction. We
recommend using a screensaver on the computer side.

• When using the projector at altitudes of about 5500 feet/1600 meters or higher, be sure to set
the [FAN MODE] to [HIGH ALTITUDE]. If not, the inside of the projector may get hot, leading to
malfunction.

• When the projector is used at high altitudes (places where the atmospheric pressure is low), it
may be necessary to replace the optical parts sooner than usual.

• About moving the projector

- Detach the lens unit once, and be sure to attach the lens cap so as not to scratch the lens. Also,

attach a dust protective cap to the projector.

- Do not subject the projector to vibrations or strong shocks.

The projector could be damaged otherwise.

• Do not use the tilt feet for purposes other than adjusting the projector’s tilt.

Improper handling, such as carrying the projector by the tilt feet or using it leaned against a wall,

could lead to malfunction.

• Do not touch the surface of the projection lens with bare hands.

Fingerprints or dirt on the surface of the projection lens will be enlarged and projected on the

screen. Do not touch the surface of the projection lens.

• Do not unplug the power cord from the projector or the power outlet while projecting. Doing so
could cause deterioration of the projector’s AC IN terminal or power plug contact. To interrupt
the AC power supply while images are being projected, use a breaker, etc.

• About handling of the remote control

- The remote control will not work if the projector’s remote signal sensor or the remote control’s

signal transmitter is exposed to strong light or if there are obstacles between them that obstruct
the signals.

- Operate the remote control from within 20 meters from the projector, pointing it at the projec-

tor’s remote signal sensor.

- Do not drop the remote control or handle it improperly.

- Do not let water or other liquids get on the remote control. Should the remote control get wet,

wipe it off immediately.

- Avoid using in hot and humid places as far as possible.

- When planning not to use the remote control for long periods of time, remove both batteries.

• Take measures to prevent external light from shining on the screen.

Make sure only the light from the projector shines on the screen. The less external light on the

screen, the higher the contrast and the more beautiful the images.

• About screens

Images will not be clear if there is dirt, scratches, discoloration, etc. on your screen. Handle the

screen with care, protecting it from volatile substances, scratches and dirt.

• Concerning to all maintenance operations, refer to Installation Manual and follow all instructions
properly.

2-2. Connecting Your Computer/Connecting the Power Cord

1. Connect your computer to the projector.

This section will show you a basic connection to a computer.

Connect a commercially available HDMI cable between the computer’s HDMI output connector
and the projector’s HDMI 1 IN or HDMI 2 IN connector.

2. Connect the supplied power cord to the projector.

First connect the supplied power cord’s three-pin plug to the AC IN terminal of the projector,
and then connect another plug of the supplied power cord directly in the wall outlet. Do not
use any plug converter.

CAUTION:

• This equipment is designed to be used in the condition of the power cord connected to
earth. If the power cord is not connected to the earth, it may cause electric shock. Please
make sure the power cord is connected to the wall outlet directly and earthed properly.

Do not use a 2-pin plug converter adapter.

• Be sure to connect the projector and the computer (signal source) to the same earth point.
If the projector and the computer (signal source) will be connected to different earth points,
fluctuations in the earth potential may cause fire or smoke.

screen

• Check that the power cord is plugged in and that the power button on the projector cabinet or the
remote control is on.

• Check to see if the projector has temperature error, If projector inside temperature is too hot or cool,
it disabled to turn on the projector as the protection. Wait for a moment and try turn on the projector
again.

• 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 projector
could shut down. If this happens, wait a couple minutes and turn on the projector.

If you turn on the projector immediately after the light module is turned off, the fans run without

displaying an image for some time and then the projector will display the image. Wait for a moment.

• In case it’s hard to think the trouble is not caused on the above mentioned conditions, unplug the
power cord from the outlet. Then wait 5 minutes before plugging it in again.

• Ensure that the [OFF TIMER] or [AUTO POWER OFF] is off.

• Check if the appropriate input is selected. If there is still no picture, press the INPUT button or one
of the input buttons again.

3-3. Mounting a lens (sold separately)

Ten separate bayonet style lenses can be used with this projector. The descriptions here are for the
NP13ZL (2x zoom) lens. Mount other lenses in the same manner.
Be sure to carry out [LENS CALIBRATION] after replacing the lens.

WARNING:

(1) Turn off the power and wait for the cooling fan to stop, (2) disconnect the power cord and
wait for the unit to cool before mounting or removing the lens. Failure to do so can result in eye
injury, electric shock, or burn injuries.

Important:

• The projector and lenses are made of precision parts. Do not subject them to shock or excessive forces.

• Remove the separately sold lens when moving the projector. If not, the lens could be subject to shock while the projector is being
moved, damaging the lens and the lens shift mechanism.

• When dismounting the lens from the projector, return the lens position to the home position before turning off the power. Failure
to do so may prevent the lens from being mounted or dismounted because of narrow space between the projector and the lens.

• Never touch the lens surface while the projector is operating.

• Be very careful not to let dirt, grease, etc., on the lens surface and not to scratch the lens surface.

• Perform these operations on a flat surface over a piece of cloth, etc., to prevent the lens from getting scratched.

• When leaving the lens off the projector for long periods of time, mount the dust cap on the projector to prevent dust or dirt from
getting inside.

• Always use the included support kit to secure the projector body and lens unit after affixing the NP50ZL. Please refer to the NP50ZL
Installation Manual for details.

• Always use the support kit (NP01LK, sold separately) to secure the projector body and lens unit after affixing the NP44ML. Please
refer to the support kit’s Instruction Manual for details.
