Fire and Shock Precautions  
What's in the Box?  
Make sure your box contains everything listed. If any pieces are miss-  
ing, contact your dealer.  
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.  
Please save the original box and packing materials if you ever need to  
ship your VT660/VT560/VT460 Projector.  
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 pro-  
jector. 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  
NEC service personnel.

22 feet/7 m and within a 60-degree angle of the remote sensor on the  
projector cabinet.  
The projector will not respond if there are objects between the re-  
mote control and the sensor, or if strong light falls on the sensor.  
Weak batteries will also prevent the remote control from properly  
operating the projector.  
Note on Remote Control Operation:  
If you press and hold the SELECT GHFE button while installing new  
batteries, the remote control may fail to work properly.  
Should this happen, remove the batteries and then install them again  
without touching the SELECT button.

WARNING  
Reflecting the Image  
*
Installing your projector on the ceiling must be done by a quali-  
fied technician. Contact your NEC dealer for more information.  
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 your remote control to  
correct the orientation. (See page E-27.)  
*
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 dam-  
aged.  
Do not use the projector where temperatures vary greatly. The pro-  
jector must be used at temperatures between 32˚F (0˚C) and 95˚F  
(35˚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.

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  
Replacing the Lamp  
Do not use a lamp other than the NEC replacement lamp (VT60LP).  
Order this from your NEC dealer.  
After your lamp has been operating for 2000 hours (up to 3000 hours in  
Eco mode) or longer, the LAMP indicator in the cabinet will blink red  
and the message will appear. Even though the lamp may still be work-  
ing, replace it at 2000 (up to 3000 hours in Eco mode) hours to maintain  
optimal projector performance.  
Secure it in place with the two screws.  
Be sure to tighten the screws.  
CAUTION  
DO NOT TOUCH THE LAMP immediately after it has been used.  
It will be extremely hot. Turn the projector off, wait 60 seconds,  
turn off the main power switch and then disconnect the power  
cable. Allow at least one hour for the lamp to cool before han-  
dling.  
DO NOT REMOVE ANY SCREWS except the lamp cover screw  
and two lamp case screws. You could receive an electric shock.  
The projector will turn off and go into stand by mode after 2100  
(up to 3100 hours in Eco mode) hours of service. If this hap-  
pens, be sure to replace the lamp. If you continue to use the  
lamp after 2000 hours (up to 3000 hours in Eco mode) of use,  
the lamp bulb may shatter, and pieces of glass may be scat-  
tered 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.  
4. Reattach the lamp cover.  
Tighten the lamp cover screw.  
Be sure to tighten the screw.  
To replace the lamp:  
1. Loosen the lamp cover screw until the screwdriver goes into a free-  
wheeling condition and remove the lamp cover. The lamp cover screw  
is not removable.  
Catch  
5. After you install a new lamp, select the menu [Default] [Clear  
Lamp Hour Meter] to reset the lamp usage hours.  
NOTE: When the lamp exceeds 2100 hours (up to 3100 hours in Eco mode)  
of service, the projector cannot turn on and the menu is not displayed. If this  
happens, press the Help button on the remote control for a minimum of 10  
seconds while in standby mode. When the lamp time clock is reset to zero,  
the LAMP indicator goes out.  
2. Loosen the two screws securing the lamp housing until the screw-  
driver goes into a freewheeling condition. The two screws are not  
removable.  
Remove the lamp housing by holding it.  
NOTE: There is an interlock on this case to prevent the risk of electrical shock.  
Do not attempt to circumvent this interlock.  
Catch

3. Reinstall the new filter cover.  
Cleaning  
Cleaning or Replacing the Filter  
The air-filter sponge keeps the inside of the projector 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 over-  
heat.  
CAUTION  
Turn off the projector, turn off the main power switch and un-  
plug 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 the filter cover.  
NOTE: Do not wash the filter with soap and water. Soap and water will damage  
the filter membrane. Before replacing the filter, remove dust and dirt from the  
projector cabinet. Keep out dust and during filter replacement.  
To clean the air-filter:  
NOTE: When you replace the lamp, it is also wise to replace the filter. The filter  
comes in the same package with your replacement lamp.  
Vacuum the filter-through the filter cover.  
Cleaning the Cabinet and the Lens  
To reset the filter usage time, from the menu, select [Default] [Clear  
Filter Usage].  
See also page E-29 for resetting the filter usage time.  
To replace the filter (sponge):  
1. Remove the filter cover by pushing up on the catch of the cover until  
you feel it detach.  
1. Turn off 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.  
Catch  
3. Use a blower or lens paper to clean the lens, and be careful not to  
scratch or mar the lens.  
2. Gently peel off the filter (sponge) and replace it with the new one.
