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

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 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 100-240 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.

CAUTION

• Do not try to touch the ventilation outlet on the left side (when seen from the front) as it can become heated while the projector is turned on.

• Do not use the tilt-foot for purposes other than originally intended.

Misuses such as gripping the tilt-foot or hanging on the wall can cause damage to the projector.

• 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.)

• Enable High-Speed Fan mode if you continue to use the projector for consecutive days. (From the menu, select [Setup] → [Page 4] → [Fan Mode].)

• 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 10 seconds after the projector is

turned off).

Important Information

Lamp Replacement

•To replace the lamp, follow all instructions provided on page 109.

• 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 NEC dealer for lamp replacement.

• Allow a minimum of 10 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.

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, 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 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 SELECT buttons on your projector cabinet or your remote control to correct the orientation. See page 86.

Page 23

2. Installation and Connections

 Making Connections

NOTE: When using with a notebook PC, be sure to connect between the projector and the notebook PC before turning on the power to the notebook PC. In most cases signal cannot be output from RGB output unless the notebook PC is turned on after connecting with the projector. * If the screen goes blank while using your remote control, it may be the result of the computer's screen-saver or power

management software.

* If you accidentally hit the POWER button on the remote control, wait 60 seconds and then press the POWER button again to

resume.

Enabling the computer’s external display

Displaying an image on the notebook PC’s screen does not necessarily mean it outputs a signal to the projector. When using a PC compatible laptop, a combination of function keys will enable/disable the external display. Usually, the combination of the ‘Fn” key along with one of the 12 function keys gets the external display to come on or off. For example, NEC laptops use Fn + F3, while Dell laptops use Fn + F8 key combinations to toggle through external display selections.

1. Turn off the power to your projector and computer.

2. Use the supplied signal cable to connect your PC or Macintosh to the projector.

3. Connect the supplied power cable. See page 28.

4. Turn on the projector and the computer.

5. If the projector goes blank after a period of inactivity, it may be caused by a screen saver installed on the computer you've connected to the projector.

Page 24

2. Installation and Connections

NOTE: The VT770 is not compatible with video decoded outputs of either the NEC ISS-6020 and ISS-6010 switchers.

NOTE: An image may not be displayed correctly when a Video or S-Video source is played back via a commercially available scan converter. This is because the projector will process a video signal as a computer signal at the default setting. In that case, do the following. * When an image is displayed with the lower and upper black portion of the screen or a dark image is not displayed correctly:

Project an image to fill the screen and then press the AUTO ADJ button on the remote control or the AUTO ADJUST button on the projector cabinet.

* When noise appears on the sides of the screen:

Use the Overscan feature to display the image correctly. Be sure to change the Overscan to 0% before pressing the AUTO ADJ or AUTO ADJUST button, otherwise an image may be displayed with its sides cut off.
