greatly.	The	 projector	 must	be	used	 at	temperatures	
between	 41°F	(5°C)	 and	104°F	 (40°C)	 (Eco	mode	 se-
lected	automatically	at	95°F	to	104°F/35°C	to	40°C).
•	 Do	not 	expose 	the 	projector 	to 	moisture, 	dust, 	or	
smoke. 	This	will	harm	the	screen	image.
•	 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.
Reflecting the Image
Using	 a	mirror	 to	reflect	 your	projector’s	 image	enables	
you	to	enjoy	 a	much	 larger	 image	 when	a	smaller	 space	
is	required. 	Contact 	your	 NEC	dealer 	if	 you	 need	 a	mirror 	
system. 	If	 you’re	 using	a	mirror	 system	 and	your	 image	
is	inverted,	 use	the	MENU	 and		buttons	 on	your	
projector	 cabinet	or	your	 remote	 control	to	correct	 the	
orientation. 	(→	page	95)

6. Installation and Connections
COMPUTER 1 INAUDIO IN
HDMI IN
USB(PC)
Computer cable (VGA) (supplied)To mini D-Sub 15-pin connector on the 
projector. It is recommended that you use a 
commercially available distribution amplifier 
if connecting a signal cable longer than the 
cable supplied.
A commercially available 
USB cable 
(compatible with USB 2.0 
specifications)
NOTE:	
For	Macintosh,	 use	a	commercially	 avail-
able	pin	adapter	 (not	supplied)	 to	connect	 to	
your	Mac’s	video	port.
Stereo mini-plug 
audio cable (not 
supplied)
 Making Connections
NOTE:	When	using	with	a	notebook	 PC,	be	sure	 to	connect	 the	projector	 and	notebook	 PC	while	 the	projector	 is	in	 standby	 mode	
and	before	turning	on	the	power	to	the	notebook	PC.
In	most	cases	the	output	signal	from	the	notebook	PC	is	not	turned	on	unless	connected	to	the	projector	before	being	powered	up.
*	 If	the	screen	 goes	blank	 while	using	 your	remote	 control,	 it	may	 be	the	 result	 of	the	 computer’s	 screen-saver	 or	power	 manage-
ment	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.
