SAFTY PRECAUTIONS
During servicing carefully observe the following.
1. OBSERVE ALL PRECAUTIONS
Items and locations that require special care during serv­icing, such as the cabinet, chassis, and parts are labelled with individual safety instructions. Carefully comply with these instructions and all precautions in the instruction manual.
2. BE CAREFUL OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
The chassis carries an AC voltage. If you touch the chassis while it is still alive, you will get a severe shock. If you think the chassis is alive, use an isolating transformer or gloves, or pull out the plug before replacing any parts.
3. USE SPECIFIED PARTS
The components have been chosen for minimum flammability and for specific levels of resistance value and withstand voltage. Replacement parts must match these original specifications. Parts whose specifications are particularly vital to safe use and maintenance of the set are marked on the circuit diagrams and parts list. Substitution of these parts can be dangerous for you and the customer, so use only specified parts.
4. REMOUNT ALL PARTS AND RECONNECT ALL WIRES AS ORIGINALLY INSTALLED
For safety, insulating tape and tubes are used throughout, but some lift-off parts on the printed wiring board require special attention. All wires are positioned away from high-temperature and high-voltage parts, and, if removed for servicing, they must be retuned precisely to their original positions.
5. LAMP
Be very careful of the lamp because it generates high heat while it is used at high voltage. When replacing the bulb, make sure it is cool enough.
6. LENS
Do not look into the lens during projection. This important to avoid damage to the eyes.
7. SERVICING
At the time of repair or inspection services, use an earth band (wrist band), without fail.
8. RUN A COMPLETE SAFETY CHECK AT THE COMPLETION OF SERVICING
After completion of servicing, confirm that all screws, parts, and wiring, removed or disconnected for servicing, have been returned to their original positions. Also examine if the serviced sections and peripheral areas have suffered from any deterioration as a result of servicing. In addition, check insulation between external metallic parts and blades of wall-outlet plugs. This examination is indispensable in confirming complete establishment of safety.
(Insulation check) Pull out a plug from a wall outlet to disconnect the connection cable. Then turn on the POWER switch. Use a 500V megger (Note 2) and confirm that the insulation resistance is 1M or more between each terminal of the plug and exposed external metal (Note
1). If the measured value is below the specified level, then it is necessary to inspect and fix the set.
(Note 1)
Exposed external metal....RGB input terminals, control
terminals, etc. (Note 2) If a 500V megger is not available for an unavoidable reason, then use a circuit tester or the like for inspection.

This section describes how to set up your MultiSync VT440/VT540 projector and how to connect video and audio sources.
Setting up Your Projector
Y our MultiSync VT440/VT540 Projector is simple to set up and use. But before you get started, you must first:
1. Determine the image size.
2. Set up a screen or select a non-glossy white wall onto which you can project your image.
Carrying the Projector: Always carry your projector by the handle. Ensure that the power cable and any other cables connecting to video sources are disconnected before moving the projector.
When moving the projector or when it is not in use, cover the lens
with the lens cap.

Selecting a Location
The further your projector is from the screen or wall, the larger the image. The minimum size the image can be is approximately 25" (0.64 m) measured diagonally when the projector is roughly 4 feet (1.2 m) from the wall or screen. The largest the image can be is 300" (7.6 m) when the projector is about 39.3 feet (12.0 m) from the wall or screen.
Using a Tabletop or Cart
1. Place your projector on a flat level surface at the optimal distance from the screen or wall so you realize the size image you want. (Avoid having bright room lighting or sun light directly on the screen or wall where you’ll be projecting the image.)
2. Connect the power cable, remove the lens cap and turn the projec­tor on. (If no input signal is available, the projector will display a background image.)
3. Ensure that the projector is square to the screen.
4. Move the projector left or right to center the image horizontally on the screen.
5. To center the image vertically, lift the front edge of the projector and press the One-Touch Tilt button on the front side of the pro­jector to release the Front Adjustable foot.

WARNING
• Installing your projector on the ceiling must be done by a quali­fied technician. Contact your NEC dealer for more informa­tion.
* Do not attempt to install the projector yourself.
• Only use your projector on a solid, lev el surface. If the projec­tor falls to the ground, you can be injured and the projector severely damaged.
• Do not use the projector where temperatures vary greatly . The projector must be used at temperatures between 32˚F (0˚C) and 95˚F (35˚C).
• Do not expose the projector to moisture, dust, or smoke. This will harm the screen image.
• Ensure that you have adequate ventilation around your pro­jector so heat can dissipate. Do not cover the vents on the side or the front of the projector.
