Important 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.  
10°�  
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 4 inches (10cm) of space between your projector and a wall.  
Do not try to touch the ventilation outlet on the left front (when seen from the front) as it can become heated while  
the projector is turned on and immediately after the projector is turned off.  
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 project. If something should fall into your projector, disconnect it immediately and have the object removed  
by a qualified service personnel.  
Do not place any objects on top of the projector.  
Do not touch the power plug during a thunderstorm. Doing so can cause electrical shock or fire.  
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.  
Do not look into the lens while the projector is on. Serious damage to your eyes could result.  
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.  
Do not cover the lens with the black 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.  
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.  
Handle the power cable carefully. A damaged or frayed power cable can cause electric shock or fire.  
- Do not use any power cables than the supplied one.  
- Do not bend or tug the power cable excessively.  
- Do not place the power cable under the projector, or any heavy object.  
- Do not cover the power cable with other soft materials such as rugs.  
- Do not heat the power cable  
- Do not handle the power plug with wet hands.  
Turn off the projector, unplug the power cable and have the object removed by a qualified NEC 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.  
- If the projector exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service.  
- If the projector is not to be used for an extended period of time.  
Disconnect the power cable and any other cables before carrying the projector  
Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable before cleaning the cabinet or replacing the lamp.

Important Information  
CAUTION  
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.  
When carrying the projector by the carrying handle, make sure the two screws that attach the carrying handle  
to the projector cabinet are tight.  
Insufficient tightening of the two screws could result in the projector falling and causing injury.  
Select [High] in Fan mode if you continue to use the projector for consecutive days. (From the menu, select  
[Setup] [Options] [Fan Mode] [High].)  
Do not turn off the AC power by pressing the main power switch or by unplugging the power cable when the  
projector is powered on.  
Do not turn off theAC power for 60 seconds after the lamp is turned on and while the POWER indicator is blinking  
green.Doing so could cause premature lamp failure.  
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 batteriespolarity (+/-) 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.  
Lamp Replacement  
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 dealer for lamp replacement.  
A Lamp Characteristic  
The projector has a high-pressure mercury lamp as a light source.  
A lamp has a characteristic that its brightness gradually decreases with age. Also repeatedly turning the lamp on  
and off will increase the possibility of its lower brightness.  
CAUTION:  
When removing the lamp from a ceiling-mounted projector, make sure that no one is under the projector. Glass  
fragments could fall if the lamp has been burned out.

7m/22 feet  
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 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.

2. Installation and Connections  
Reflecting the Image  
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.  
Using a mirror to reflect your projectors 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 SELECT buttons on your  
projector cabinet or your remote control to correct the  
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.

2. Installation and Connections  
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  
management software.  
Enabling the computer’s external display  
Displaying an image on the notebook PCs 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 Fnkey 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.  
Connecting Your PC or Macintosh Computer  
NOTE: VT580/VT480: The COMPUTER 1 connector supports Plug & Play (DDC2).

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 supplied one.  
NOTE: For older Macintosh, use a commercially available  
pin adapter (not supplied) to connect to your Mac's  
video port.  
PHONE  
IBM VGA or Compatibles (Notebook  
type) or Macintosh (Notebook type)  
NOTE: The projector is not compatible with video decoded outputs of either the NEC ISS-6020 and ISS-6010 switchers.  
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  
This section describes the simple maintenance procedures you should follow to clean the filters and replace the lamp.  
Cleaning or Replacing the Filters  
The air-filter sponge keeps dust and dirt from getting inside the projector and should be cleaned after every 100 hours  
of operation (more often in dusty conditions). If the filter is dirty or clogged, your projector may overheat.  
CAUTION  
Turn off the projector, turn off the main power switch and unplug the projector before replacing the filters.  
Only clean the outside of the filter cover with a vacuum cleaner.  
Do not attempt to operate the projector without the filter cover.  
To clean the air-filter:  
Vacuum the filter-through the filter cover.

6. Maintenance  
» Replacing the Lamp  
After your lamp has been operating for 2000* hours (up to 3000* 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 2000* (up to 3000* hours in Eco mode)  
hours to maintain optimal projector performance. After replacing the lamp, be sure to clear the lamp hour meter.  
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 on the glass surface might  
cause an unwanted shadow and poor picture quality.  
The projector will turn off and go into standby mode after 2100* (up to 3100* hours in Eco mode) hours of  
service. If this happens, be sure to replace the lamp. If you continue to use the lamp after 2000* hours (up to  
3000* 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 replacement.  
*NOTE: Lamp life for VT58/VT48 is 3000 hours in Normal mode and 4000 hours in Eco mode.  
The projector will turn off and go into standby mode after 3100 (up to 4100 hours in Eco mode) hours of service.  
To replace the lamp:

Power on process for the projector and the 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.  
NOTE: You can check the horizontal frequency of the current signal in the projectors menu under Information. If it reads  
0kHz, this means there is no signal being output from the computer. (page 47 or go to next step)  
Enabling the computers external display.  
Displaying an image on the notebook PCs 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 Fnkey 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 PCs 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 computers 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 13fixed 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-  
ingis off on your PowerBook. Refer to owners 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.
