ies or new and old batteries.
• The infrared signal operates by line-of-sight up to a distance of about \
22 feet/7 m 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 c\
ontrol and the sensor, or if strong light falls

2. Installation and Connections
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 104 ˚F (40 ˚C) (Eco mode
selected 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 youre using a mirror system and your image
is inverted, use the MENU and SELECT buttons on your
projector cabinet or your remote control to correct the
orientation. ( → page  45)
