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 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 orientation. ( page 41) 11 2. Installation and Connections Making Connections Connecting Your PC or Macintosh Computer 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 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 enable/disable the external display. Usually, the combination of the `Fn" key 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.
