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.

Important Information

Lamp Replacement

•To replace the lamp, follow all instructions provided on page 134.

• 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 90 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.

2. Installation and Connections

Screens Suited

• The projector can accommdate screen sizes from 40” (81.3 cm/32.0” W ⳯ 61.0 cm/24.0” H)
to 100 inch (203.2 cm/80.0” W ⳯ 152.4 cm/60.0” H).

40"-100"

• Use a panel or tension type screen that has a flat surface.

Recommended

Do not use roll type screens and other screens that bend or form a wavy
surface easily. Doing so will result in increased distortion of the projected
image.

• View the screen directly from the side so that it is perfectly vertical.

Recommended

A slanted screen will result in increased keystone distortion.

90˚

• In using this projector, increasing the screen size will move the projection position upward. To
accommodate this, please use a screen that can be raised and lowered to a given screen
position. See page 16 for information about the positioning relationships between the screen
and this projector.

• High gain type screens are not optimal for use with this projector. The lower the screen gain
(i.e., screen gain on the order of 1), the better the appearance of the projected image.
For more information about screen gain, consult catalogs from screen manufacturers.

• Screen frames or pen shelves that protrude from the front of the screen surface may block
some of the light from the projector.

• Due to the projection angle of the projector, many standard rear projection screens may pro­duce uneven brightness, hot spotting or not produce maximum brightness to the viewer. For
more details utilizing rear projection screens and their applications with this projector, please
contact your NEC dealer.
