The power outlet socket should be installed as near to the equipment as possible, and should be easily accessible. CAUTION: • TO PREVENT SHOCK, DO NOT OPEN THE CABINET.
Important Information Laser Rating This label is on the side of the remote control. CAUTION CAUTION This mark is on the top of the remote control. Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure. Do not look into the laser pointer while it is on and do not point the laser beam at a person. Serious injury could result.
Important Information RF Interference (for USA only) WARNING: The Federal Communications Commission does not allow any modifications or changes to the unit EXCEPT those specified by NEC Display Solutions of America, Inc. in this manual. 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.
Important Information • 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 qualified 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.
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.
Important Information • Turn off the projector, unplug the power cable and have the projector serviced by qualified service personnel under the following conditions: When the power cable 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.
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.
Important Information [Important 1] Operating the Lamp Continuously If using the projector continuously for a long period, use of the menu (OSD) is recommended in order to properly cycle the lamps as described below. To use the projector continuously in the dual lamp mode Allow 2 hours per day of non usage time per lamp. Do this for both lamps at the same time or for “Lamp 1” and “Lamp 2” at separate 2 hour intervals.
Important Information [Important 2] Clearance for Installing the Projector Allow ample clearance between the projector and its surroundings as shown below. Avoid installing the projector in a place where air movement from the HVAC is directed at the projector. Heated air from the HVAC can be taken in by the projector's intake vent. If this happens, the temperature inside the projector will rise too high causing the over-temperature protector to automatically turn off the projectors power.
Important Information (3) Upward or downward projection: When using the projector in an upward projection angle, allow 1 m/ 40 inches or greater between the exhaust vent and the wall. When using the projector in a downward projection angle, allow 0.5 m/ 20 inches or greater between the exhaust vent and the wall.

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.
1. Introduction Battery Installation The Remote Control unit included with the projector does not contain batteries, though batteries are supplied as part of the complete package. To insert (or replace) the batteries, refer to the following guide. 1. 2. 3. Remove the battery compartment cover by squeezing the locking catch (A) and sliding the cover in the direction of the arrow (B). Insert the supplied batteries taking note of the polarity (+/-) as shown.
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.
1. Introduction Using the Remote Control in Wired Operation Connect the supplied remote cable to the REMOTE2 jack on the projector (see Terminal Panel Features on page 10) and the other end to the remote jack on the remote control (see item 1, Part Names of the Remote Control on page 12). Note: Connecting the remote cable to the REMOTE2 jack on the terminal panel will make the wireless operation unavailable.
