Important Safeguards  
Lamp Replacement  
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.  
To replace the lamp, follow all instructions provided on page E-47.  
• 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.  
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 com-  
ponents.  
5. Handle your projector carefully. Dropping or jarring can damage in-  
ternal 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.  
• Allow a minimum of ONE minute to elapse after turning off the pro-  
jector. Then disconnect the power cable and allow 60 minutes to  
cool the projector before replacing the lamp.  
Fire and Shock Precautions  
1. Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are unob-  
structed to prevent the build-up of heat inside your projector. Allow  
at least 3 inches (10 cm) of space between your projector and a  
wall.  
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 accordance with any local building codes.  
d. Please consult your dealer for more information.  
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 re-  
moved by a qualified NEC service personnel.  
3. Do not place any liquids on top of your projector.  
• Do not look into the lens while the projector is on. Serious damage  
to your eyes could result.  
Power Supply  
1. The projector is designed to operate on a power supply of 100-120  
or 200-240 V 50/60 Hz AC. Ensure that your power supply fits this  
requirement before attempting to use your projector.  
• Keep any items such as magnifying glass out of the light path of the  
projector.The light being projected from the lens is extensive, there-  
fore 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 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.  
2. Handle the power cable carefully and avoid excessive bending. A  
damaged cord can cause electric shock or fire.  
3. If the projector is not to be used for an extended period of time,  
disconnect the plug from the power outlet.  
Cleaning  
1. Unplug the projector before cleaning.  
2. Clean the cabinet periodically with a damp cloth. If heavily soiled,  
use a mild detergent. Never use strong detergents or solvents such  
as alcohol or thinner.  
• Do not look into the laser pointer while it is on and do not point the  
laser beam at another person. Serious injury could result.  
3. Use a blower or lens paper to clean the lens, and be careful not to  
scratch or mar the lens.  
CAUTION  
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 message "Please wait a little." appears. This message will be  
displayed after the projector is turned off.  
Immediately after the power cable is plugged into the wall outlet (the  
POWER indicator has not changed to a steady amber glow).  
Immediately after the cooling fan stops working (The cooling fan con-  
tinues to work for ONE minute after the projector is turned off with the  
POWER button).  
While the POWER and the STATUS indicators are alternately flashing.  
CAUTION  
Do not put the projector on its side when the lamp is turned on.  
Doing so may cause damage to the projector.

2. INSTALLATION  
This section describes how to set up your MultiSync MT1055/MT1050/  
MT850 projector and how to connect video and audio sources.  
Selecting a Location  
The further your projector is from the screen or wall, the larger the  
image.The minimum size the image can be is approximately 30" (0.76  
m) measured diagonally when the projector is roughly 4 feet (1.3 m)  
from the wall or screen. The largest the image can be is 300" (7.6 m)  
when the projector is about 36.8 feet (11.2 m) from the wall or screen.  
Setting up Your Projector  
Your MultiSync MT1055/MT1050/MT850 Projector is simple to set up  
and use. But before you get started, you must first:  
1. Determine the image size.  
Using a Tabletop or Cart  
1. Place your projector on a flat level surface at the optimal dis-  
tance from the screen or wall so you realize the size image you  
want. (Avoid having bright room lighting or sun light directly on the screen  
or wall where you’ll be projecting the image.)  
2. Set up a screen or select a non-glossy white wall onto which you  
can project your image.  
Carrying the Projector: Always carry your projector by the handle.  
Ensure that the power cable and any other cables connecting to video  
sources are disconnected before moving the projector.  
When moving the projector or when it is not in use, cover the lens with  
the lens cap.  
2. Connect the power cable, remove the lens cap and turn the pro-  
jector on. (If no input signal is available, the projector will display a  
background image.)  
3. Ensure that the projector is square to the screen.

If your projector is mounted on the ceiling and your image is upside  
down, use the “Menu” and “Selectbuttons on your projector cabinet or  
▲▼ button on your remote control to correct the orientation.(See page  
E-36.)  
WARNING  
• Installing your projector on the ceiling must be done by a quali-  
fied 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 se-  
verely damaged.  
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. If  
you’re using a mirror and your image is inverted, use the “Menu” and  
“Select” buttons on your projector cabinet or ▲▼ buttons on your re-  
mote control to correct the orientation. (See page E-36.)  
• Do not use the projector where temperatures vary greatly. The  
projector must be used at temperatures between 32˚F (0˚C)  
and 104˚F (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 projec-  
tor so heat can dissipate. Do not cover the vents on the side or  
the front of the projector.

Connecting Your PC or Macintosh Computer  
Connecting your PC or Macintosh computer to your MultiSync MT1055  
and MT1050 (XGA) / MT850 (SVGA) projector will enable you to project  
your computer’s screen image for an impressive presentation.  
To connect to a PC or Macintosh, simply:  
1. Turn off the power to your projector and computer.  
2. Use the signal cable that’s supplied to connect your PC or Macintosh  
computer to the projector.  
NOTE: When using with a notebook PC, be sure to connect between the projec-  
tor 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.  
NOTE: If using video, S-video, or audio cables, the cables should be 3 m (9.8  
feet) or shorter.  
Remote Control Guideline for the Remote Control  
1. Plug the supplied serial cable with the mouse output port of the pro-  
jector into your computer’s mouse port and restart your computer to  
gain remote mouse control.  
2. When using the remote control’s built-in infrared mouse on a laptop  
computer, the laptop’s mouse, trackball or trackpad will be disabled.  
Disconnect the serial cable from the mouse output port and restart  
your computer to regain trackball or trackpad mouse control.  
3. 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.  
NOTE:The new Macintosh computer such as G3 will have the 15 pin HD  
connector. The MT1055/MT1050/MT850's "Plug and Play" data will be down-  
loaded to the Macintosh. Therefore, the Mac adapter will not be necessary.  
3. Turn on the projector and the computer.  
4. If the projector goes blank after a period of inactivity, it may be caused  
by a screen saver installed on the computer you’ve connected to the  
projector.  
4. If you accidentally hit the OFF button on the remote control, wait one  
full minute and then press the ON button to resume.

Digital images can be played with the PC Card Viewer if the following  
conditions are met:  
3. A tool bar will appear.  
• If the image can be stored on an MS-DOS format PC card  
• If the image can be stored in a format supported by the PC Card  
Viewer.  
With the PC Card Viewer, images on the card are searched for in  
directories and images in JPEG or BMP format are recognized as  
slides.  
Searchable directories are directories within two steps from the root  
directory, and searchable images are images within the first 12 files  
in the directory. Only file and slide switching are possible.  
The tool bar includes the following buttons:  
Drag ............. Drags to move the tool bar (for USB mouse operation only).  
Capture ........ Captures an image and save it as a JPEG file in a PC card.  
Freeze .......... Freezes and unfreezes images.  
Exit............... Exits the Capture function. Another option to exit the Capture  
function is to press MENU or CANCEL button on the remote  
control or projector cabinet.  
NOTE: The maximum number of images recognized as slides within one direc-  
tory is 128.  
NOTE: You can compress a captured file (JPEG) using the Capture Options in  
the Setup dialog. See page E-36.  
NOTE: Captured images with higher resolution than the projector's native reso-  
lution cannot be displayed correctly.  
NOTE:  
File size of the captured image varies depending on the resolution of an  
input signal.  
Since an image data is compressed with the JPEG format, the image is slightly  
degraded.  
NOTE: An hourglass indicating that an image is being captured appears on the  
projector's display. Do not eject the PC card or turn off the projector's power  
while this icon is displayed. Doing so will damage the PC card data. If the PC  
card data is damaged, use a computer to repair the data.  
NOTE: The folder in the right bottom is always a folder exclusively for captured  
images. To display the list of folders when there are 13 or more indexes stored  
on the PC card, select "Edit index" from the PC Card Viewer software's "File"  
menu and move the index you want to display to within 12 indexes from the top  
of the folder index. For details on indexes, refer to the PC Card Viewer software's  
help file.

Terminology  
PC card  
This is the name of a card currently being standardized by the Japan Electronic Industry Association (JEIDA) and PCMCIA  
(Personal Computer Memory Card Interface Association) of the United States.  
ATA card  
A type of PC card. ATA was originally a type of interface between computers and fixed disk devices. The ATA card is a standard  
card-type recording medium.  
CompactFlash  
CompactFlash card is a small removable card conforming to ATA specifications. It is one-fourth the volume of a PCMCIA card.  
TYPE (I, II and III) PCMCIA 2.1 PC cards are divided into three types according to their thickness: Type I (3.3 mm), Type II (5.0 mm) and Type III  
(10.5 mm).  
BMP  
A type of image format. The standard Windows Bit Map format used for MS-DOS/Windows-compatible computers.  
JPEG  
A type of image format. "JPEG" is the abbreviation of Joint Photographic Experts Group. JPEG compression offers efficient  
data storage. The data not required for displaying the image is identified and deleted. Since the data is deleted, JPEG  
algorithms are said to be irreversible. This means that once the image is compressed, the decompressed image it is not the  
same as the original image.

4. MAINTENANCE  
This section describes the simple maintenance procedures you should  
follow to replace the lamp and clean the filter.  
3. 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  
(MT50LP). Order this from your NEC dealer.  
Replacing the Lamp  
After your lamp has been operating for 1500 hours (2500 hours : Eco  
mode) or longer, the “Status” light in the cabinet will go on and the  
message will appear. Even though the lamp may still be working, re-  
place it at 1500 (2500 hours : Eco mode) hours to maintain optimal  
projector performance.  
Secure it in place with the two screws.  
Be sure to tighten the screws.

The projector will turn off and go into stand by mode after 1600 (2600  
hours : Eco mode) hours of service. If this happens, be sure to replace  
the lamp. If you continue to use the lamp after 1500 hours (2500 hours  
: 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.

Cleaning or Replacing the Filters  
The air-filter sponge keeps the inside of the MultiSync MT1055/MT1050/  
MT850 Projector free from dust or dirt 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 power and unplug the projector before replacing the filter.  
Only clean the outside of the filter cover with a vacuum cleaner.  
Do not attempt to operate the projector without a filter cover.  
Your projector will not operate unless the filter cover is installed cor-  
rectly.  
To clean the air-filter:  
Vacuum the filter-through the filter cover.
