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 radi-  
ate 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:  
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.  
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.  
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio / TV technician for help.  
For UK only: In UK, a BS approved power cable with moulded 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  
1. For best results, use your projector in a darkened room.  
2. Place the projector on a flat, level surface in a dry area away from dust and moisture.  
3. Do not place your projector in direct sunlight, near heaters or heat radiating appliances.  
4. Exposure to direct sunlight, smoke or steam can harm internal components.  
5. Handle your projector carefully. Dropping or jarring can damage internal components.  
6. Do not place heavy objects on top of the projector.  
7. If you wish to have the projector installed on the ceiling:  
a. Do not attempt to install the projector yourself.  
b. The projector must be installed by qualified technicians in order to ensure proper operation and reduce the  
risk of bodily injury.  
c. In addition, the ceiling must be strong enough to support the projector and the installation must be in accor-  
dance with any local building codes.  
d. Please consult your dealer for more information.  
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.

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 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.  
7. 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.  
8. 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.  
9. Handle the power cable carefully and avoid excessive bending.  
A damaged cord can cause electric shock or fire.  
10. If the projector is not to be used for an extended period of time, disconnect the plug from the power outlet.  
11. Do not touch the power plug during a thunderstorm. Doing so can cause electrical shock or fire.  
12. Do not handle the power plug with wet hands.  
CAUTION  
• Do not try to touch the ventilation outlet on the left side (when seen from the front) as it can become heated  
while the projector is turned on.  
• Do no use the tilt-foot for purposes other than originally intended. Misuses such as gripping the tilt-foot or  
hanging on the wall 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.  
• Select [High] in Fan mode if you continue to use the projector for consecutive days. (From the menu, select  
[Advanced] [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 Hour Glass icon appears.  
While the cooling fans are running. (The cooling fans continue to work for 30 seconds after the projector is  
turned off).

Important Information  
Lamp Replacement  
To replace the lamp, follow all instructions provided on page 46.  
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 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  
• Ensure that you have adequate ventilation around your  
projector so heat can dissipate. Do not cover the vents  
on the side or the front of the projector.  
WARNING  
* Installing your projector on the ceiling must be done  
by a qualified technician.Contact your NEC dealer for  
more information.  
* Do not attempt to install the projector yourself.  
• Only use your projector on a solid, level surface. If the  
projector falls to the ground, you can be injured and  
the projector severely damaged.  
• Do not use the projector where temperatures vary  
greatly. The projector must be used at temperatures  
between 41˚F (5˚C) and 95˚F (35˚C).  
Reflecting the Image  
Using a mirror to reflect your projector's image enables  
you to enjoy a much larger image. Contact your NEC  
dealer if you need a mirror system. If you're using a mir-  
ror system and your image is inverted, use the MENU  
and SELECT buttons on your projector cabinet or your  
remote control to correct the orientation. See page 37.  
• Do not expose the projector to moisture, dust, or  
smoke. This will harm the screen image.

2. Installation and Connections  
Making Connections  
NOTE: When using with a notebook PC, be sure to connect between the projector and the notebook PC before turning on the  
power to the notebook PC. In most cases signal cannot be output from RGB output unless the notebook PC is turned on after  
connecting with the projector.  
* If the screen goes blank while using your remote control, it may be the result of the computer's screen-saver or power  
management software.  
Enabling the computer’s external display  
Displaying an image on the notebook PC’s screen does not necessarily mean it outputs a signal to the projector.  
When using a PC compatible laptop, a combination of function keys will enable/disable the external display.  
Usually, the combination of the ‘Fn” key along with one of the 12 function keys gets the external display to come on  
or off. For example, NEC laptops use Fn + F3, while Dell laptops use Fn + F8 key combinations to toggle through  
external display selections.

NOTE: An image may not be displayed correctly when a Video or S-Video source is played back via a commercially available scan  
converter.  
This is because the projector will process a video signal as a computer signal at the default setting. In that case, do the following.  
* When an image is displayed with the lower and upper black portion of the screen or a dark image is not displayed correctly:  
Project an image to fill the screen and then press the AUTO ADJ button on the remote control or the projector cabinet.

6. Maintenance  
» Replacing the Lamp  
After your lamp has been operating for 3000 hours (up to 4000 hours in Eco mode) or longer, the LAMP indicator in the  
cabinet will blink red and the message“The lamp has reached the end of its usable life. Please replace the lamp.”  
will appear. Even though the lamp may still be working, replace it at 3000 (up to 4000 hours in Eco mode) hours to  
maintain optimal projector performance. After replacing the lamp, be sure to clear the lamp hour meter. See page 43.  
CAUTION  
DO NOT TOUCH THE LAMP immediately after it has been used. It will be extremely hot. Turn the projector off,  
wait 30 seconds, turn off the main power switch and then disconnect the power cable. Allow at least one hour  
for the lamp to cool before handling.  
DO NOT REMOVE ANY SCREWS except two lamp case screws.You could receive an electric shock.  
Do not break the glass on the lamp housing.  
Keep finger prints off the glass surface on the lamp housing. Leaving finger prints in the glass surface might  
cause an unwanted shadow and poor picture quality.  
The projector will turn off and go into standby mode after 3100 (up to 4100 hours in Eco mode) hours of service.  
If this happens, be sure to replace the lamp. If you continue to use the lamp after 3000 hours (up to 4000 hours  
in Eco mode) of use, 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 replace-  
ment.  
To replace the lamp:  
Optional lamp and tools needed for replacement:  
Replacement lamp VT70LP  
Phillips screwdriver or equivalent  
1. Place the projector on a soft cloth and turn it over to access the lamp cover on the bottom.  
2. Use a Philips screwdriver to push and release the tab.

3. Loosen the two screws securing the lamp housing until the phillips screwdriver goes into a freewheeling  
condition.The two screws are not removable.  
Remove the lamp housing by holding it.  
Interlock  
NOTE: There is an interlock on this case to prevent the risk of electrical shock. Do not attempt to circumvent this interlock.  
4. Insert a new lamp housing until the lamp housing is plugged into the socket.  
CAUTION  
Do not use a lamp other than the NEC replacement lamp VT70LP.  
Order this from your NEC dealer.  
Secure it in place with the two screws.  
Be sure to tighten the screws.  
5. Reattach the lamp cover.  
Slip the lamp cover back until it snaps into place.

Ensure that the lamp cover is installed correctly. See page 47.  
Check to see if the projector has overheated or the lamp usage exceeds 3100 hours (up to 4100 hours : Eco  
mode). If there is insufficient ventilation around the projector or if the room where you’re presenting is par-  
ticularly warm, move the projector to a cooler location.

Ensure your cables are connected properly.  
Remove the lens cap.  
When using with a notebook PC, be sure to connect between the projector and the notebook PC before turning  
on the power to the notebook PC. In most cases signal cannot be output from RGB output unless the notebook  
PC is turned on after connecting with the projector.  
* If the screen goes blank while using your remote control, it may be the result of the computer's screen-  
saver or power management software.  
See also the next page.  
Picture suddenly  
becomes dark  
When one of the following happens, the Lamp mode automatically changes from Normal to Eco.  
* When there are no signals (blue or black screen) To return to the Normal mode, select another available  
source.  
* When the image is muted using the PIC-MUTE button on the remote control Press the PIC-MUTE button  
again to return to the Normal mode.  
* When the room where you' re presenting is particularly warm Move the projector to a cooler location.  
Color tone or hue is  
unusual  
Check if an appropriate color is selected in "Wall Color". If so, select an appropriate option. See page 33.  
Image isn’t square to  
the screen  
Picture is blurred  
Ensure that the distance between the projector and screen is within the adjustment range of the lens. See page  
Condensation may form on the lens if the projector is cold, brought into a warm place and is then turned on.  
Should this happen, let the projector stand until there is no condensation on the lens.

Power on process for the projector and the PC.  
Be sure to connect the RGB cable between the projector and the computer before turning on the computer.  
There are some notebook PCs, which do not output signal unless there is a projector or monitor connected first.  
NOTE: You can check the horizontal frequency of the current signal in the projector’s menu under Information. If it reads  
“0kHz”, this means there is no signal being output from the computer. See page 42 or go to next step.  
Enabling the computer’s external display.  
Displaying an image on the notebook PC’s screen does not necessarily mean it outputs a signal to the projec-  
tor. When using a PC compatible laptop, a combination of function keys will enable/disable the external display.  
Usually, the combination of the ‘Fn” key along with one of the 12 function keys gets the external display to come  
on or off. For example, NEC laptops use Fn + F3, while Dell laptops use Fn + F8 key combinations to toggle  
through external display selections.  
Non-standard signal output from the computer  
If the output signal from a notebook PC is not an industry standard, the projected image may not be displayed  
correctly. Should this happen, deactivate the notebook PC’s LCD screen when the projector display is in use.  
Each notebook PC has a different way of deactivate/reactivate the local LCD screens as described in the  
previous step. Refer to your computer’s documentation for detailed information.  
Image displayed is incorrect when using a Macintosh  
When using a Macintosh with the projector, set the DIPswitch of the Mac adapter (not supplied with the projec-  
tor) according to your resolution. After setting, restart your Macintosh for the changes to take affect.  
For setting display modes other than those supported by your Macintosh and the projector, changing the DIP  
switch on a Mac adapter may bounce an image slightly or may display nothing. Should this happen, set the DIP  
switch to the 13” fixed mode and then restart your Macintosh. After that, restore the DIP switches to a  
displayable mode and then restart the Macintosh again.  
NOTE: A Video Adapter cable manufactured by Apple Computer is needed for a PowerBook which does not have a mini D-Sub  
15-pin connector.  
Mirroring on a PowerBook  
*
When using the projector with a Macintosh PowerBook, output may not be set to 1024 x 768 unless “mirror-  
ing” is off on your PowerBook. Refer to owner’s manual supplied with your Macintosh computer for mirroring.  
Folders or icons are hidden on the Macintosh screen  
Folders or icons may not be seen on the screen. Should this happen, select [View] [Arrange] from the Apple  
menu and arrange icons.
