• Do not place the projector in the following conditions: - on an unstable cart, stand, or table. - near water, baths, or damp rooms. - in direct sunlight, near heaters, or heat radiating appliances. - in a dusty, smoky or steamy environment. - on a sheet of paper or cloth, rugs or carpets.

• If you wish to have the projector installed on the ceiling: - Do not attempt to install the projector yourself. - The projector must be installed by qualied technicians in order to ensure proper operation and reduce the risk of bodily injury. - In addition, the ceiling must be strong enough to support the projector and the installation must be in accordance with any local building codes. - Please consult your dealer for more information. Place the projector in a horizontal position The tilt angle of the projector should not exceed 15 degrees, nor should the projector be installed in any way other than the desktop and ceiling mount, otherwise lamp life could decrease dramatically.iii English ... Important Information Fire and Shock Precautions

• Ensure that there is sufcient ventilation and that vents are unobstructed to prevent the build-up of heat inside your projector. Allow at least 4 inches (10cm) of space between your projector and a wall.

• Do not try to touch the ventilation outlet as it can become heated while the projector is turned on and im- mediately after the projector is turned off.

• Prevent foreign objects such as paper clips and bits of paper from falling into your projector. Do not at- tempt 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 immedi- ately and have the object removed by a qualied service personnel.

• Do not place any objects on top of the projector.

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

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

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

• Keep any items (magnifying glass etc.) out of the light path of the projector. The light path 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 a re or injury to the eyes.

• Do not block the light path between the light source and the mirror with any objects. Doing so could cause the object to catch on re.

• Do not place any objects, which are easily affected by heat, in front of the projector mirror or a projector exhaust vent. Doing so could lead to the object melting or getting your hands burned from the heat that is emitted from the light output and exhaust.

• Handle the power cord carefully. A damaged or frayed power cord can cause electric shock or re. - Do not use any power cord other than the one supplied. - Do not bend or tug the power cord excessively. - Do not place the power cord under the projector, or any heavy object. - Do not cover the power cord with other soft materials such as rugs. - Do not heat the power cord. - Do not handle the power plug with wet hands.

• Turn off the projector, unplug the power cord and have the projector serviced by a qualied service per- sonnel under the following conditions: - When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed. - If liquid has been spilled into the projector, or if it has been exposed to rain or water. - If the projector does not operate normally when you follow the instructions described in this user’s manual. - If the projector has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged. - If the projector exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service.

• Disconnect the power cord and any other cables before carrying the projector.

• Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord before cleaning the cabinet or replacing the lamp.

• Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord if the projector is not to be used for an extended period of time.

• When using a LAN cable: For safety, do not connect to the connector for peripheral device wiring that might have excessive voltage.iv English ... Important Information Remote Control Precautions

• Handle the remote control carefully.

• If the remote control gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.

• Avoid excessive heat and humidity.

• Do not short, heat, or take apart batteries.

• Do not throw batteries into re.

• If you will not be using the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries.

• Ensure that you have the batteries’ polarity (+/–) aligned correctly.

• Do not use new and old batteries together, or use different types of batteries together.

• Dispose of used batteries according to your local regulations. Lamp Replacement

• To replace the lamp, follow all instructions provided on pages 61-62.

• 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 dealer for lamp replacement. A Lamp Characteristic The projector has a high-pressure mercury lamp as a light source. A lamp has a characteristic that its brightness gradually decreases with age. Also repeatedly turning the lamp on and off will increase the possibility of its lower brightness. CAUTION:

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

• When removing the lamp from a ceiling-mounted projector, make sure that no one is under the projec- tor. Glass fragments could fall if the lamp has been burned out. Note for US Residents The lamp in this product contains mercury. Please dispose according to Local, State or Federal Laws. Health precautions to users viewing 3D images

DVD PlayerTCO Certication Some models in this product family are TCO certied. All TCO certied models have the TCO mark on the mark- ing plate (on the bottom of the product). To see a list of our TCO certied projectors and their TCO Certication (in English only), visit our website at http://www.nec-display.com/ap/en_projector/tco/index.html The TCO certication, designed by TCO Development, is an international environmental and ergonomics standard for IT equipment. In some cases we may post a list of TCO certied models on our website before the TCO mark is placed on the prod- uct. This difference in timing is related to the date certication is received compared with the projectors manufactur- ing date.© NEC Display Solutions, Ltd. 2010-2011 7N951535
