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 accor-

dance with any local building codes.

Important Information

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 4 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 mirror or the light source 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

mirror is extensive, therefore any kind of abnormal objects that can redirect light coming out of the mirror, can cause unpredictable outcome such as fire or injury to the eyes.

6. Do not block the light path between the light source and the final mirror with any objects. Doing so could cause

the object to catch on fire.

7. 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.

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.

11. Do not handle the power plug with wet hands.

12. 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 try to touch the ventilation openings on the both sides as it can become heated while the projector is turned on.

• Do not attempt to move or carry the projector using the mirror cover. Doing so can result in the projector overturning and causing injury. Using the two side handles is the proper

way to move the projector. When carrying or transporting the projector, close and lock the mirror cover with the mirror cover lock switch.

• The carrying handles are designed for the purpose of carrying the projector. Do not hang from the projector by the carrying handles in a ceiling mounted installation. Doing so may result in the carrying handles separating from the unit or the projector may separate from the mount resulting in personal injury.

• Select [High] in Fan mode if you continue to use the projector for consecutive days. (From the menu, select [Setup] → [Options] → [Fan Mode] → [High].)

• 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 projector's lamp is on. * While the cooling fans are running. (The cooling fans continue to work for 90 seconds after the projector is

turned off).

* While the PC CARD Access Indicator lights. Doing so can damage your PC memory card.
