Important Safeguards

These safety instructions are to ensure the long life of your projector
and to prevent fire and shock. Please read them carefully and heed all
warnings.

Installation

1. For best results, use your projector in a darkened room.

2. Place the projector on a flat, level surface in a dry area away from
dust and moisture.

3. Do not place your projector in direct sunlight, near heaters or heat
radiating appliances.

4. Exposure to direct sunlight, smoke or steam can harm internal com­ponents.

5. Handle your projector carefully. Dropping or jarring can damage in­ternal components.

6. Do not place heavy objects on top of the projector.

7. If you wish to have the projector installed on the ceiling:

a. Do not attempt to install the projector yourself.

b. The projector must be installed by qualified technicians in order

to ensure proper operation and reduce the risk of bodily injury.

c. In addition, the ceiling must be strong enough to support the

projector and the installation must be in accordance with any
local building codes.

d. Please consult your dealer for more information.

E-2

Fire and Shock Precautions

1. Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are unob­structed to prevent the build-up of heat inside your projector. Allow
at least 3 inches (10 cm) of space between your projector and a
wall.

2. 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
NEC service personnel.

3. Do not place any liquids on top of your projector.

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

5. 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.

6. Do not cover the lens with the supplied 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.

7. The projector is designed to operate on a power supply of 100-120
or 200-240 V 50/60 Hz AC. Ensure that your power supply fits this
requirement before attempting to use your projector.

8. Handle the power cable carefully and avoid excessive bending.
A damaged cord can cause electric shock or fire.

9. If the projector is not to be used for an extended period of time,
disconnect the plug from the power outlet.

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

• Allow a minimum of 60 seconds to elapse after turning off the pro­jector. Then turn off the main power switch, disconnect the power
cable and allow 60 minutes to cool the projector before replacing
the lamp.

two screws that attach the carrying handle to the projector cabinet
are tight.

Insufficient tightening of the two screws could result in the projector
falling and causing injury.

4. Do not send the soft carrying case by parcel delivery service or
cargo shipment. The projector inside the soft carrying case could be
damaged. (However, it is possible to use it as a carriercase on board.)

5. Enable High-Speed Fan mode if you continue to use the projector
for consecutive days. (From the menu, select [Advanced] → [High
Speed Fan Mode].)

6. Do not unplug the power cable from the wall outlet under any one of
the following circumstances.

Doing so can cause damage to the projector:

* While the Hour Glass icon appears.

* While the cooling fans are running. (The cooling fans continue

to work for 60 seconds after the projector is turned off).

WARNING
* Installing your projector on the ceiling must be done by a quali-

fied technician. Contact your NEC dealer for more information.

* Do not attempt to install the projector yourself.

• Only use your projector on a solid, level 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.

Reflecting the Image

Using a mirror to reflect your projector's image enables you to enjoy a
much larger image. Contact your NEC dealer if you need a mirror. If
you're using a mirror and your image is inverted, use the MENU and

is not a fault. Wait 3 to 5 minutes until the lamp lighting is stabilized.

When the Lamp mode is set to Eco, the Lamp indicator will light green.
If one of the following things happens, the projector will not turn on.

* If the internal temperature of the projector is too high, the projector

detects abnormal high temperature. In this condition the projector
will not turn on to protect the internal system. If this happens, wait for
the projector's internal components to cool down.

* When the lamp reaches its end of usable life, the projector will not

turn on. If this happens, replace the lamp.

* If the lamp fails to light, and if the STATUS indicator flashes on and

off in a cycle of six times, wait a full minute and then turn on the
power.

MAINTENANCE

This section describes the simple maintenance procedures you should
follow to replace the lamp and clean the filter.

Replacing the Lamp

After your lamp has been operating for 2000 hours (up to 3000 hours in
Eco mode) or longer, the LAMP indicator in the cabinet will blink red
and the message will appear. Even though the lamp may still be work­ing, replace it at 2000 (up to 3000 hours in Eco mode) hours to maintain
optimal projector performance.

CAUTION

• DO NOT TOUCH THE LAMP immediately after it has been used.
It will be extremely hot. Turn the projector off, wait 60 seconds,
turn off the main power switch and then disconnect the power
cable. Allow at least one hour for the lamp to cool before han­dling.

• DO NOT REMOVE ANY SCREWS except the lamp cover screw
and two lamp case screws. You could receive an electric shock.

• The projector will turn off and go into stand by mode after 2100
(up to 3100 hours in Eco mode) hours of service. If this hap­pens, be sure to replace the lamp. If you continue to use the
lamp after 2000 hours (up to 3000 hours in Eco mode) of use,
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 NEC dealer for
lamp replacement.

To replace the lamp:

1. Loosen the lamp cover screw until the screwdriver goes into a free­wheeling condition and remove the lamp cover. The lamp cover screw
is not removable.

Catch

3. Insert a new lamp housing until the lamp housing is plugged into the
socket.

CAUTION
Do not use a lamp other than the NEC replacement lamp (VT60LP).
Order this from your NEC dealer.

Secure it in place with the two screws.
Be sure to tighten the screws.

4. Reattach the lamp cover.

Tighten the lamp cover screw.
Be sure to tighten the screw.

2. Loosen the two screws securing the lamp housing until the screw­driver goes into a freewheeling condition. The two screws are not
removable.

Remove the lamp housing by holding it.

NOTE: There is an interlock on this case to prevent the risk of electrical shock.
Do not attempt to circumvent this interlock.

Catch

Interlock

5. After you install a new lamp, select the menu
Lamp Hour Meter] to reset the lamp usage hours.

NOTE: When the lamp exceeds 2100 hours (up to 3100 hours in Eco mode)
of service, the projector cannot turn on and the menu is not displayed. If this
happens, press the Help button on the remote control for a minimum of 10
seconds while in standby mode. When the lamp time clock is reset to zero,
the LAMP indicator goes out.

Cleaning

Cleaning or Replacing the Filter

The air-filter sponge keeps the inside of the projector from dust or dirt
and should be cleaned after every 100 hours of operation (more often in
dusty conditions). If the filter is dirty or clogged, your projector may over­heat.

CAUTION

•Turn off the projector, turn off the main power switch and un­plug the projector before replacing the filter.

• Only clean the outside of the filter cover with a vacuum cleaner.

• Do not attempt to operate the projector without the filter cover.

To clean the air-filter:

Vacuum the filter-through the filter cover.

To reset the filter usage time, from the menu, select [Default] → [Clear
Filter Usage].
See also page E-29 for resetting the filter usage time.

To replace the filter (sponge):

1. Remove the filter cover by pushing up on the catch of the cover until
you feel it detach.

Catch

3. Reinstall the new filter cover.

NOTE: Do not wash the filter with soap and water. Soap and water will damage
the filter membrane. Before replacing the filter, remove dust and dirt from the
projector cabinet. Keep out dust and dirt during filter replacement.

NOTE: When you replace the lamp, it is also wise to replace the filter. The filter
comes in the same package with your replacement lamp.

Cleaning the Cabinet and the Lens

1. Turn off the projector before cleaning.

2. Clean the cabinet periodically with a damp cloth. If heavily soiled,
use a mild detergent. Never use strong detergents or solvents such
as alcohol or thinner.

3. Use a blower or lens paper to clean the lens, and be careful not to
scratch or mar the lens.

2. Gently peel off the filter (sponge) and replace it with the new one.
