Handle your projector carefully. Dropping or jarring can damage internal 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. 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. 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. 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. 3. Use a blower or lens paper to clean the lens, and be careful not to scratch or mar the lens. E­3 Lamp Replacement · To replace the lamp, follow all instructions provided on page E-33. · Be sure to replace the lamp when the Status light comes on. If you continue to use the lamp after 2000 hours (1500 hours : MT1045) 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. · Allow a minimum of ONE minute to elapse after turning off the projector. 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 unobstructed to prevent the build-up of heat inside your projector. Allow at least 3 inches (10cm) of space between your projector and a wall. 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 removed 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. · 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 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. · 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. E­4 TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. INTRODUCTION Introduction to the MultiSync MT840/MT1040/MT1045 Projector ...

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 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 projector so heat can dissipate. Do not cover the vents on the side or the front of the projector. If your projector is mounted on the ceiling and your image is upside down, use the "Menu" and "Select" buttons on your projector cabinet or vw button on your remote control to correct the orientation. (See page E-23.) 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 vw buttons on your remote control to correct the orientation. (See page E-23.)

Plug the supplied serial cable with the mouse output port of the projector 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. 4. If you accidentally hit the OFF button on the remote control, wait one full minute and then press the ON button to resume. 2. Use the signal cable that's supplied to connect your PC or Macintosh computer to the projector. For older Macintosh, use the supplied pin adapter to connect to your Mac's video port. NOTE:The new Macintosh computer such as G3 will have the 15 pin HD connector. The MT840/MT1040/MT1045's "Plug and Play" data will be downloaded 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. Connecting An External Monitor You can connect a separate, external monitor to your projector to simultaneously view on a monitor the image you're projecting. To do so: 1. Turn off the power to your projector, monitor and computer, document camera or video source. 2.
