Remote Control Precautions
•Handle the remote control carefully.
• If the remote control gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
•A void 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.
Operating Range for Wireless Remote Control
1Press firmly and slide the
battery cover off.2Install new batteries (AAA).
Ensure that you have the
batteries polarity (+/–) aligned
correctly.
• 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
on the sensor. Weak batteries will also prevent the remote control from properly operati\
ng the projector.

* 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  43)

2. Installation and Connections
 Making Connections
NOTE: When using with a notebook PC, be sure to connect the projector an\
d 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 un\
less connected to the projector before being poweredup.* If the screen goes blank while using your remote control, it may be the \
result of the computers 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 e\
nable/disable the external display.
Usually, the combination of the ‘Fn” key along with one of the 12 functio\
n 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.
Connecting Your PC or Macintosh Computer
NOTE: The COMPUTER 1 connector supports Plug & Play (DDC2).
NOTE: The projector is not compatible with video decoded outputs of the NEC ISS-6020\
 switcher.
NOTE: An image may not be displayed correctly when a Video or S-Video so\
urce 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 fol lowing.
* 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.

2. Installation and Connections
When Viewing a DVI Digital Signal
To  project a DVI digital signal, be sure to connect the PC and the projecto\
r using a DVI cable (not supplied) before
turning on your PC or projector. Turn on the projector first and select Computer 2 (Digital) from the so\
urce menu
before turning on your PC.
Failure to do so may not activate the digital output of the graphics car\
d resulting in no picture being displayed. Should
this happen, restart your PC.
Do not disconnect the DVI cable while the projector is running. If the s\
ignal cable has been disconnected and then re-
connected, an image may not be correctly displayed. Should this happen, \
restart your PC.
NOTE:
• Use a DVI cable or the one compliant with DDWG (Digital Display Working Group) DVI (Digital Visual Interface) revision 1.0
standard. The DVI cable should be within 5 m (196) long. Both single \
and dual types of DVI cable can be used.
• The DVI (DIGITAL) connector accepts VGA (640x480), SVGA (800x600), 1152x864, XGA \
(1024x768) and SXGA (1280x1024 @
up to 60Hz).
