Failure to comply with this government regulation could void your right to operate this equipment. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: z Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. z Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. z Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. z Consult the dealer or an experienced radio / TV technician for help.

For UK only: In UK, a BS approved power cable with molded plug has a Black (five

Amps) fuse installed for use with this equipment. If a power cable is not supplied with this equipment please contact your supplier.

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

• Do not place the projector in the following conditions:

ƒ On an unstable cart, stand, or table.

ƒ Near water, baths or damp rooms.

ƒ In direct sunlight, near heaters or heat radiating appliances.

ƒ In a dusty, smoky or steamy environment.

ƒ On a sheet of paper or cloth, rugs or carpets. iii

Important Information

• If you wish to have the projector installed on the ceiling:

ƒ Do not attempt to install the projector yourself.

ƒ The projector must be installed by qualified technicians in order to ensure proper operation and reduce the risk of bodily injury.

ƒ In addition, the ceiling must be strong enough to support the projector and the installation must be in accordance with any local building codes.

ƒ Please consult your dealer for more information.

CAUTION:

When shipping the projector, remove the optional lens beforehand. The lens and the lens shift mechanism may encounter damage caused by improper handling during transportation.

Place the projector in a horizontal position

The tilt angle of the projector should not exceed 10 degrees, nor should the projector be installed in any way other than the desktop and ceiling mount, otherwise lamp life could decrease dramatically.

CAUTION:

Do not drop the projector on your hand or fingers while lifting the projector to replace the filters. Doing so could injure your hand or fingers. iv

Important Information

Fire and Shock Precautions

• Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are unobstructed to prevent the build-up of heat inside your projector. Allow at least 8 inches (20cm) of space between your projector and a wall.

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

• 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 project. If something should fall into your projector, disconnect it immediately and have the object removed by qualified 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 fire.

• 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.

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

• 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.

• Do not cover the lens with the black 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.

• Do not place any objects, which are easily affected by heat, in front of the projector lens 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 cable carefully. A damaged or frayed power cable can cause electric shock or fire.

ƒ Do not use any power cables other than the one supplied by NEC.

ƒ Do not bend or tug the power cable excessively.

ƒ Do not place the power cable under the projector, or any heavy object.

ƒ Do not cover the power cable with other soft materials such as rugs.

ƒ Do not heat the power cable

ƒ Do not handle the power plug with wet hands. v

Important Information

• Turn off the projector, unplug the power cable and have the projector serviced by qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

ƒ When the power cable or plug is damaged or frayed.

ƒ If liquid has been spilled into the projector, or if it has been exposed to rain or water.

ƒ If the projector does not operate normally when you follow the instructions described in this user's manual.

ƒ If the projector has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.

ƒ If the projector exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service.

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

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

• When using a LAN cable:

ƒ For safety, do not connect to the connector for peripheral device wiring that might have excessive voltage.

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

CAUTION:

• Always carry your projector by using the carrying handle.

• Do not use the tilt-foot for purposes other than originally intended. Misuses such as using the tilt foot to carry or hang (from the wall or ceiling) the projector can cause damage to the projector.

• Do not send the projector in the soft case by parcel delivery service or cargo shipment. The projector inside the soft case could be damaged.

• If heavy use for a number of consecutive days is expected, select the High setting in the Fan Mode window to reduce heat stress on the projector (see

Fan Mode).

• Do not unplug the power cable from the wall outlet or projector when the projector is powered on. Doing so can cause damage to the AC IN connector of the projector and (or) the prong plug of the power cable.

• To turn off the AC power supply when the projector is powered on, use a power strip equipped with a switch and a breaker.

• The projector can be unplugged during its cool down period after it is turned off.

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

• Do not turn off the AC power for 60 seconds after the lamp is turned on and while the POWER indicator is blinking green. Doing so could cause premature lamp failure.

• Do not place your hands near the lens opening while shifting the lens. Shifting the lens could pinch your fingers or hands causing injury. vi

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 heat, take apart, or throw batteries into fire.

• 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 either of the lamps, follow all instructions provided on page

99

.

Be sure to replace the lamp when the following is displayed on the screen:

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.

Important Lamp Characteristic

The projector has a high-pressure mercury lamp as a light source.

A characteristic of mercury lamps is that brightness gradually decreases with age. Also repeatedly turning the lamp on and off will increase the possibility of reduced brightness.

CAUTION:

When removing the lamp from a ceiling-mounted projector, make sure that no one is under the projector. Glass fragments could fall if the lamp has been burned out. vii

1. Introduction

Important:

1. Avoid using the projector with bright fluorescent lighting turned on. Certain highfrequency fluorescent lights can disrupt remote control operation.

2. Be sure nothing obstructs the path between the remote control and the projector. If the path between remote and projector is obstructed, you can bounce the remote signal off certain reflective surfaces such as projector screens.

3. The buttons and keys on the projector have the same functions as the corresponding buttons on the remote control. This user’s manual describes the functions based on the remote control.

Note:

*To turn off the projector, press the Power OFF button twice.

**To turn on the projector, press and hold the Power On button for a minimum of two seconds

1. Introduction

Operating Range for Wireless Remote Control

The infrared signal operates by line-of-sight up to a distance of about 22 feet (7m) and within a 60-degree angle of the remote sensor on the projector cabinet.

The projector will not respond if there are objects between the remote control and the sensor, or if strong light falls on the sensor. Weak batteries will also prevent the remote control from properly operating the projector.

Remote Control Precautions

The following precautions ensure that the remote operates correctly and safely.

ƒ Handle the remote control carefully.

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

ƒ Avoid excessive heat and humidity.

ƒ Do not heat, take apart, or throw batteries into fire.

ƒ For extended periods of inactivity, remove the batteries.

ƒ Ensure that the batteries' polarity (+/–) aligned correctly.

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

ƒ Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.

Operation Using HTTP Browser

Overview

The use of HTTP server functions will allow control of the projector from a web browser without the installation of special software. Please be sure to use “Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.x” or a higher version for the web browser. (This device uses “JavaScript” and

“Cookies” and the browser should be set to accept these functions. The setting method will vary depending on the version of browser. Please refer to the help files and the other information provided in your software).

Access is gained to the HTTP server functions by specifying the following address in the entry column of the URL: http:// <the projector’s IP address> /index.html http:// <the projector's IP address> /lanconf.html

Note:

The display or button responses can be slowed down or operation may not be accepted depending the settings of your network. Should this happen, consult your network administrator. The projector may not respond if its buttons are repeatedly pressed in rapid intervals. Should this happen, wait a moment and repeat. If you still can’t get any response, turn off and back on the projector.

Preparation Before Use

Make network connections, set up the projector and confirm that it is complete before

engaging in browser operations (see LAN Settings on page 84 for more information).

Operation with a browser that uses a proxy server may not be possible depending on the type of proxy server and the setting method. Although the type of proxy server will be a factor, it is possible that items that have actually been set will not be displayed depending on the effectiveness of the cache, and the contents set from the browser may not be reflected in operation. It is recommended that a proxy server not be used unless it is unavoidable.

Handling of the Address for Operation via a Browser

Regarding the actual address that is entered for the address or entered to the URL column when operation of the projector is via a browser, the host name can be used as it is when the host name corresponding to the IP address of the projector has been registered to the domain name server by a network administrator, or the host name corresponding to the IP address of the projector has been set in the “HOSTS” file of the computer being used.

Example 1:

When the host name of the projector has been set to pj.nec.co.jp,

http://pj.nec.co.jp/index.html is specified for the address or the entry column of the URL.

Example 2:

121

8. Specifications

When the IP address of the projector is 192.168.73.1, access is gained to the HTTP server functions by specifying http://192.168.73.1/index.html for the address or the entry column of the URL.
