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.
Lamp Replacement
• Perform lamp replacement in accordance with the instructions on page 81.
• Be sure to replace the lamp when the Status light comes on. If you continue
to use the lamp after 1000 hours 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 between turning the lamp off and
on. High voltage is applied to the lamp immediately when the power is turned
on. Therefore turning the power off and quickly back on may shorten the life
of your lamp and result in damage to your projector.
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 project. If something should fall into your projector, disconnect it
immediately and have the object removed by a qualified NEC service person.
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.
• 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.

Important Safeguards
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. 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 components.
5. Handle your projector carefully. Dropping or jarring can damage internal
components.
6. Do not place heavy objects on top of the projector.
7. If installing the projector on the ceiling:
a. The ceiling must be strong enough to support the projector and the
installation must be in accordance with any local building codes.
b. The projector must be installed by qualified NEC service personnel.
Power Supply
1. The projector is designed to operate on a power supply of 100-120 or 220-240
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.

produire sur la surface de la lentille.
7
Remplacement de la lampe
• Effectuer le remplacement de la lampe suivant les instructions de la page 85.
• Assurez-vous de bien remplacer la lampe lorsque le voyant d’usure
s’allume. Si vous continuez d’utiliser la lampe après 1000 heures
d’utilisation, l’ampoule peut se briser et des brisures de verre peuvent être
éparpillées dans le compartiment de la lampe. Ne les touchez pas car elles
peuvent vous blesser. Dans ce cas, contactez votre revendeur NEC afin de
procéder au remplacement de la lampe.
• Attendez minimum UNE minute après avoir éteint la lampe avant de la
rallumer. Une haute tension est immédiatement appliquée à la lampe quand
celle-ci est mise sous tension. Par conséquent, éteindre, puis tout de suite
rallumer peut abréger la vie de votre lampe et endommager votre projecteur.
Précautions pour éviter un incendie ou
une électrocution
1. Une ventilation appropriée doit être assurée afin d’éviter une accumulation
de chaleur à l’intérieur du projecteur. S’assurer que les trous de ventilation ne
sont pas obstrués. Laisser un espace d’au moins 10 cm (quatre pouces) entre
le projecteur et les murs.
2. Eviter que des objets étrangers, des agrafes, des clous et du papier, par
exemple, pénètrent à l’intérieur du projecteur. Ne pas essayer de récupérer
ces objets soi-même ou ne pas insérer des objets métalliques, des fils et des
tourne-vis, par exemple à l’intérieur du projecteur. Si un objet tombe à
l’intérieur du projecteur, le débrancher immédiatement et contacter un
dépanneur qualifié pour retirer l’objet.
3. Ne pas placer des liquides sur le dessus du projecteur.
• Ne regardez pas à l’intérieur de l’objectif lorsque le projecteur
est en marche. Vous risquez de vous blesser gravement aux
yeux.
• Ne regardez pas à l’intérieur de la flèche laser lorsque celle-ci
est en marche et ne dirigez pas le rayon laser sur une autre
personne. Vous risquez de provoquer ue blessure grave.

This section describes how to set up your MultiSync LT81/LT100 projector
and how to connect video and audio sources.
Setting Up Your MultiSync LT81/LT100 Projector
Your MultiSync LT81/LT100 Projector is simple to set up and use. But before
you get started, you must first:
1. Determine the image size
2. Set up a screen or select a non-glossy white wall onto which you can project
your image.
Carrying The ProjectorAlways carry your projector by the handle. Ensure
that the power cord 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.
INSTALLATION229
SelectingA Location The further your projector is from the screen or wall, the
larger the image. The minimum size the image can be is approximately 24"
(0.61 m) measured diagonally when the projector is roughly 4 feet (1.2 m)
from the wall or screen. The largest the image can be is 300" (7.6 m) when
the projector is about 40.35 feet (12.3 m) from the wall or screen.

Using A Tabletop Or Cart
1. Place your projector on a flat level surface at the optimal distance
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. Connect the power cable, remove the lens cap and turn the projector
on. (If no input signal is available, the projector will display a
background image.)
3. Ensure that the projector is square to the screen.
4. Move the projector left or right to center the image horizontally on
the screen. (A)
5.
[LT100] To center the image vertically (B), lift the front edge of the
projector and press the buttons on the front of the projector, just above
the feet, to release the one-touch tilt feet. (There is approximately 5.0˚
of up and down adjustment for the front of the projector.)
