Important Information
Fire and Shock Precautions
• Ensure that there is sufcient 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 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 projector. If something should fall into your projector, disconnect it immediately and have the object removed by a qualied 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 re.
• The projector is designed to operate on a power supply of 100-240V AC 50/60 Hz. Ensure that your power
supply ts this requirement before attempting to use your projector.
• Do not look into the mirror 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 mirror is extensive, therefore any kind of abnormal objects that can redirect light coming out of
the mirror, can cause unpredictable outcome such as a re or injury to the eyes.
• Do not block the light path between the light source and the mirror with any objects. Doing so could cause
the object to catch on re.
• Do not place any objects, which are easily affected by heat, in front of the projector mirror 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 cord carefully. A damaged or frayed power cord can cause electric shock or re.
- Do not use any power cord other than the one supplied.
- 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 qualied 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.

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 short, heat, or take apart batteries.
• Do not throw batteries into re.
• 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 the lamp, follow all instructions provided on pages 61-62.
• Be sure to replace the lamp when the message [THE LAMP HAS REACHED THE END OF ITS USABLE
LIFE. PLEASE REPLACE THE LAMP.] 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.
Note for US Residents
The lamp in this product contains mercury. Please dispose according to Local, State or Federal Laws.
Health precautions to users viewing 3D images
• Before viewing, be sure to read health care precautions that may be found in the user’s manual included
with your LCD shutter eyeglasses or your 3D compatible content such as DVDs, video games, computer’s video les and the like.
To avoid any adverse symptoms, heed the following:
- Do not use LCD shutter eyeglasses for viewing any material other than 3D images.
- Allow a distance of 2 m/7 feet or greater between the screen and a user. Viewing 3D images from too
close a distance can strain your eyes.
- Avoid viewing 3D images for a prolonged period of time. Take a break of 15 minutes or longer after
every hour of viewing.
- If you or any member of your family has a history of light-sensitive seizures, consult a doctor before
viewing 3D images.
- While viewing 3D images, if you get sick such as nausea, dizziness, queasiness, headache, eyestrain,
blurry vision, convulsions, and numbness, stop viewing them. If symptoms still persist, consult a doctor.

HDCP is an acronym for High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection. High bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a system for preventing illegal copying of video data sent over a Digital Visual Interface (DVI).
If you are unable to view material via the HDMI input, this does not necessarily mean the projector is not
functioning properly. With the implementation of HDCP, there may be cases in which certain content is protected with HDCP and might not be displayed due to the decision/intention of the HDCP community (Digital
Content Protection, LLC).

TCO Certication
Some models in this product family are TCO certied. All TCO certied models have the TCO mark on the marking plate (on the bottom of the product). To see a list of our TCO certied projectors and their TCO Certication (in
English only), visit our website at http://www.nec-display.com/ap/en_projector/tco/index.html
The TCO certication, designed by TCO Development, is an international environmental and ergonomics standard
for IT equipment.
In some cases we may post a list of TCO certied models on our website before the TCO mark is placed on the product. This difference in timing is related to the date certication is received compared with the projectors manufacturing date.
