Fire and Shock Precautions
Important Safeguards
1. Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are
unobstructed to prevent potentially dangerous concentra-
tions of ozone and the build-up of heat inside your projector.
Allow at least 8 inches (20cm) of space between your
projectorandawall.Allowatleast20inches(50cm)ofspace
between the ventilation duct outlet and object.
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, dis-
connect it immediately and have the object removed by a
qualified your service person.
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.
Installation
1. Place the projector on a flat, level surface and in a dry area
free from dust and moisture.
2. Do not place the projector in direct sunlight, near heaters or
heat radiating appliances.
3. Exposure to direct sunlight, smoke or steam could harm
internal components.
4. Handle your projector carefully. Dropping or jarring your
projector could damage internal components.
5. Do not place heavy objects on top of the projector.
6. If you wish to have the projector installed on the ceiling:
a Do not attempt to install the projector yourself.
b Theprojectormustbeinstalledbyqualifiedtechniciansin
order to ensure proper operation and reduce the risk of
bodily injury.
3. Do not place any liquids on top of your projector.
CAUTION: High Pressure Lamp May Explode if Improperly Handled.
Refer Servicing to Qualified Service Personnel.
Lamp Caution: Please read before operation
Due to the lamp being sealed in a pressurized environment,
there is a small risk of explosion, if not operated correctly.
There is minimal risk involved, if the unit is in proper
working order, but if damaged or operated beyond the
recommended 1500 hours, the risk of explosion increases.
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.
e Do not attempt to stack projectors on the ceiling.
Please note that there is a warning system built in, that
displays the following message when you reach 1500
hours of operation” Lamp Running Time is Over 1500
Hours!!” When you see this message please contact your
NEC Dealer for a replacement.
Power Supply
1. The projector is designed to operate on a power supply of
1.0KWAC100-120/1.5KWAC200-240V50/60Hz.Ensure
that your power supply fits this requirement before attempt-
ing to use your projector.
If the lamp does explode, smoke will be discharged from
the vents located on the side of the unit. This smoke is
comprised of glass in particulate form and Xenon gas, and
will not cause harm if kept out of your eyes. If your eyes
have been exposed to this gas, please flush your eyes out
with water immediately and seek immediate medical
attention. Do not rub your eyes! This could cause
serious injury.
2. Handle the power cable carefully and avoid excessive bend-
ing. A damaged cord can cause electric shock or fire.
3. If the projector will not be used for an extended period of
time, disconnect the plug from the power outlet.
4. Placing the power cord and the RGB cable closely to each
other can cause beat noise. If this happens, keep the two
separated so that beat noise is not generated.
WARNING:Do not look into the lens while the projector is on.
Serious damage to your eyes could result.
Cleaning
CAUTION
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 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.
3. Use a blower or lens paper to clean the lens, and be careful
not to scratch or mar the lens.
• 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 out-
let (the POWER indicator has not changed to a steady amber
glow).
• Immediately after the cooling fan stops working (After the pro-
jector is turned off with the POWER OFF button the cooling
fan continues to work for 3 minutes while the Two Digit INDI-
CATOR "--" flashes).

Précautions contre l'incendie ou la décharge
1. S'assurer qu'il y ait une ventilation suffisante et que les
ouvertures ne soient pas obstruées afin d'éviter des
concentrations potentiellement dangereuses d'ozone et
l'accumulation de chaleur à l'intérieur du projecteur.
Laisser au moins 20 cm d'espace entre le projecteur et un
mur.
2. Empêcher tous objets étrangers tels que des attaches
trombones ou des morceaux de papier de tomber à
l'intérieur du projecteur. Ne pas essayer de récupérer des
objets qui seraient tombés dans le projecteur. Ne pas
introduire d'objets métalliques tels qu'un fil ou un
tournevis dans le projecteur. Si quelque-chose doit tomber
dans le projecteur, le débrancher immédiatement et faire
enlever l'objet par un technicien agréé NEC.
Recommandations importantes
Ces instructions de sécurité ont pour but d'assurer une longue
vie à votre projecteur et d'éviter un incendie ou une décharge
électrique. Prière de les lire avec attention et de tenir compte
de tous les avertissements.
Installation
1. Placer le projecteur sur une surface plate et de niveau, et
dans un endroit sec et à l'abri des poussières et de
l'humidité.
2. Ne pas exposer le projecteur aux rayons directs du soleil,
ni le placer près d'un chauffage ou de dispositifs de
radiation de chaleur.
3. L'exposition aux rayons directs du soleil, à la fumée ou à
la vapeur pourrait endommager des composants internes.
4. Manipuler le projecteur avec précautions. Laisser tomber
le projecteur ou lui donner des chocs pourrait
endommager des composants internes.
5. Ne pas poser d'objets lourds sur le dessus du projecteur.
6. Si vous voulez installer le projecteur au plafond:
a. N’essayez pas d’installer le projecteur vous-même.
b.Le projecteur doit être installé par un technicien qualifié
pour garantir une installation réussie et réduire le risque
d’éventuelles blessures corporelles.
3. Ne pas poser de liquides sur le dessus du projecteur.
ATTENTION : La lampe à haute pression peut exploser si
elle est manipulée incorrectement. Confier l'entretien à du
personnel d'entretien qualifié.
Précautions avec la lampe : lire avant l'utilisation
La lampe a été scellée dans un environnement sous
pression, et il y a donc un petit risque d'explosion, si elle
n'est pas utilisée correctement. Le risque est minime si
l'appareil est en bon ordre de marche, mais s'il est
endommagé ou utilisé au-delà des 1500 heures
recommandées, le risque d'explosion augmente alors.
Il est à noter l'existence d'un système d'avertissement
intégré, lequel affiche le message "Lamp Running Time is
Over 1500 Hours!! (Le temps de fonctionnement de la
lampe a dépassé 1500 heures !! ") " lorsque les 1500
heures de fonctionnement sont atteintes. Lorsque ce
message appara"t, prière de contacter son revendeur NEC
pour un remplacement.
Si la lampe explose, de la fumée peut être produite par les
fentes d'aération situées sur le côté de l'appareil. Cette
fumée est composée de verre sous forme de particules et
de gaz de Xenon, et n'est pas nuisible si elle est maintenue
à distance des yeux. Si les yeux sont exposés à ce gaz, les
rincer immédiatement à l'eau courante et consulter tout de
suite un médecin. Ne pas frotter les yeux ! Cela pourrait
provoquer une grave blessure.
c. De plus le plafond doit être suffisamment solide pour
supporter le projecteur et l’installation doit être
conforme aux réglementations locales de construction.
d.Veuillez consulter votre revendeur pour de plus amples
informations.
Alimentation
1. Le projecteur est conçu pour fonctionner sous une tension
d'alimentation de 1,0KW CA100-120 / 1,5 KW CA
200-240 V 50/60 Hz. S'assurer que la tension du secteur
soit conforme à ces caractéristiques avant d'utiliser le
projecteur.
2. Manipuler le cordon d'alimentation avec précautions et
éviter des flexions excessives. Un cordon endommagé
peut occasionner une décharge électrique ou un incendie.
3. Si le projecteur ne doit pas être utilisé pendant une longue
période, débrancher la fiche de la prise de courant.
4. Placer le cordon d'alimentation et le câble RGB tout près
l'un de l'autre peut occasionner un bruit de battement. Si
cela se produit, les maintenir séparés jusqu'à ce que le
bruit de battement disparaisse.
AVERTISSEMENT :
Ne pas regarder dans l'objectif lorsque le projecteur est
allumé. De sérieux dommages aux yeux pourraient en
résulter.
Nettoyage
1. Débrancher le projecteur avant de le nettoyer.
2. Nettoyer régulièrement le boîtier extérieur avec un chiffon
humide. S'il est très sale, utiliser un détergent doux. Ne
jamais utiliser de détergent forts ou de solvants tels que de
l'alcool ou du diluant.
3. Utiliser un souffleur ou du papier pour objectif pour
nettoyer l'objectif, et faire attention de ne pas griffer ou
endommager l'objectif.
