Installing your projector on the ceiling must be done by a qualified technician. 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 32F (0C) and 95F (35C). 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 LM buttons on your remote control to correct the orientation. (See page E-35.)

Reflecting the Image

Using a mirror to reflect your projectors image enables you to enjoy a much larger image. Contact your NEC dealer if you need a mirror. If youre using a mirror and your image is inverted, use the Menu and Select buttons on your projector cabinet or LM buttons on your remote control to correct the orientation. (See page E-35.)

An idea is only as strong as its presentation.
Engaging any audience is always a challenge. From classrooms to conference rooms, sharing ideas in captivating ways is never easy, especially if you dont have the right tools. But with the NEC VT45 projector, youll find the performance you need to make any presentation a success. The VT45 combines unmatched features and functionality to project bright, bold and colorful images on large screens. Regardless of the level of ambient light, the VT45 is powerful enough to display images in medium-sized rooms without sacrificing color saturation, contrast or detail. In addition, the VT45 supports data sources from VGA to SXGA and contains the same video processing technology as NEC top-of-theline models. So image quality is never an issue. Aside from superior image performance, the VT45s features make it even easier for you to focus on giving a great presentation. AutoSense technology provides automatic set-up, so getting ready to present is as simple as plug in and play. And one-button source changes and image adjustments let the audience focus on your presentation, not your projector. To ensure your audience stays captivated, NEC provides the InstaCare service program for projector replacement and repair. Services include a help line, a two-year warranty and next business-day projector replacement free of charge.
