Frequently Asked Questions - VT440k NEC

How do I connect my laptop to the NEC VT440k projector?

Turn off the projector and laptop. Use the supplied signal cable (Mini D-Sub 15-pin) to connect the laptop's video output to the RGB Input on the projector. Turn on the projector first, then the laptop. Press the Source button on the remote or projector to select RGB.

How do I replace the lamp?

Turn off the projector and unplug it. Wait at least 60 minutes for the lamp to cool. Loosen the lamp cover screw (it remains captive) and remove the cover. Loosen the two screws securing the lamp housing, then pull the housing out by its handle. Insert the new lamp (NEC VT40LP) and tighten the screws. Replace the cover and tighten the screw. Go to Menu > Setup > Advanced > Clear Lamp Hour Meter to reset the timer.

How do I clean the air filter?

Unplug the projector. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from the filter cover without removing it. For replacement, push up on the cover's catch to detach it, then install a new filter cover. Do not wash the filter or attempt to operate without the cover.

What does a blinking red Status indicator mean?

A blinking red Status indicator signals a problem. The blink pattern indicates the issue: 1-second intervals = lamp/filter cover error; 4-second intervals = temperature error; 8-second intervals = fan error; 12-second intervals = lamp error. Refer to the Power/Status Light Messages table in the manual for details.

How do I enable Eco mode?

Press the Menu button, navigate to Image Options, then select Lamp Mode. Choose Eco to extend lamp life up to 3000 hours. Note: the lamp always runs in High-Bright for the first 3 minutes after startup.

What is the maximum image size?

The maximum diagonal image size is 300 inches (7.62 m). This requires a projection distance of approximately 39 feet (12 m) at the lens telephoto setting.

How do I reset the lamp usage timer?

Go to Menu > Setup > Advanced (Page 3) > Clear Lamp Hour Meter. Confirm by pressing OK. Alternatively, in standby mode, press and hold the Help button on the remote for 10 seconds. This should only be done after replacing the lamp.

Can I mount the projector on the ceiling?

Yes, but only by a qualified technician. The projector must be installed using a suitable ceiling mount, and the ceiling must support the weight. After installation, use the Orientation setting in the Setup menu to correct the image (e.g., Front Ceiling).

Why is there no picture?

Check that the lens cap is removed and the projector is powered on. Press the Source button to ensure the correct input (RGB, Video, or S-Video) is selected. Verify cable connections and that the connected device is outputting a signal. Adjust Brightness and Contrast in the Picture menu. If using a notebook, ensure it is set to duplicate or extend display.

How do I adjust the keystone distortion?

Press the Menu button, go to Image Options, then select Keystone. Use the ◄/► buttons to correct trapezoid distortion by adjusting the top and bottom width. The maximum correction is ±15 degrees.

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.

Power Supply

1. 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.
2. Handle the power cable carefully and avoid excessive bending. A damaged cord can cause electric shock or fire.
3. If the projector is not to be used for an extended period of time, disconnect the plug from the power outlet.

Cleaning

1. Unplug 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.

CAUTION

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 message "Please wait a little." appears. This message will be displayed after the projector is turned off.
* Immediately after the power cable is plugged into the wall outlet (the POWER indicator has not changed to a steady amber glow).
* Immediately after the cooling fan stops working (The cooling fan continues to work for 30 seconds after the projector is turned off with the POWER OFF button).
* While the POWER and the STATUS indicators are alternately flashing.

Lamp Replacement

• To replace the lamp, follow all instructions provided on page E-33.
• 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 30 seconds to elapse after turning off the projector. Then disconnect the power cable and allow 60 minutes to cool the projector before replacing the lamp.

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.

Operating Range

2. INSTALLATION

This section describes how to set up your MultiSync VT440/VT540 projector and how to connect video and audio sources.

Setting up Your Projector

Your MultiSync VT440/VT540 Projector is simple to set up and use. But before you get started, you must first:

1. Determine the image size.
2. Set up a screen or select a non-glossy white wall onto which you can project your image.

Carrying the Projector: Always carry your projector by the handle. Ensure that the power cable and any other cables connecting to video sources are disconnected before moving the projector.

When moving the projector or when it is not in use, cover the lens with the lens cap.

Selecting a Location

The further your projector is from the screen or wall, the larger the image. The minimum size the image can be is approximately 25" (0.64 m) measured diagonally when the projector is roughly 4 feet (1.2 m) from the wall or screen. The largest the image can be is 300" (7.6 m) when the projector is about 39.3 feet (12.0 m) from the wall or screen.

Using a Tabletop or Cart

1. Place your projector on a flat level surface at the optimal distance from the screen or wall so you realize the size image you want. (Avoid having bright room lighting or sun light directly on the screen or wall where you'll be projecting the image.)
2. Connect the power cable, remove the lens cap and turn the projector on. (If no input signal is available, the projector will display a background image.)
3. Ensure that the projector is square to the screen.

1. Move the projector left or right to center the image horizontally on the screen.
2. To center the image vertically, lift the front edge of the projector and press the One-Touch Tilt button on the front side of the projector to release the Front Adjustable foot.

(There is approximately 10 degrees of up and down adjustment for the front of the projector.)

Adjusting the Tilt Foot

1) Press and hold the Tilt button on the front of the projector.
2) Lift the front edge of the projector to the height you want, and release the button to lock the Adjustable Tilt Foot.

To fine-tune the image's position vertically on the screen, rotate the foot. Each of the rear feet height can be changed up to 0.6" (4mm).
