Important Information
Fire and Shock Precautions
• Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are unobstructed to prevent the build-up of heat inside your
projector. Allow at least 4 inches (10cm) of space between your projector and a wall.
• Do not try to touch the ventilation outlet on the left front (when seen from the front) as it can become heated while
the projector is turned on and immediately after the projector is turned off.
• 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 service personnel.
• Do not place any objects on top of the projector.
• Do not touch the power plug during a thunderstorm. Doing so can cause electrical shock or fire.
• The projector is designed to operate on a power supply of 100-240V AC 50/60 Hz (NP600/NP500/NP400/NP500W)
or 200-240V AC 50/60 Hz (NP600G/NP500G/NP400G/NP500WG). Ensure that your power supply fits this require-
ment before attempting to use 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 black 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 place any objects, which are easily affected by heat, in front of the projector lens or a projector exhaust
vent.
Doing so could lead to the object melting or getting your hands burned from the heat that is emitted from the light
output and exhaust.
• Handle the power cable carefully. A damaged or frayed power cable can cause electric shock or fire.
- Do not use any power cables than the supplied one.
- Do not bend or tug the power cable excessively.
- Do not place the power cable under the projector, or any heavy object.
- Do not cover the power cable with other soft materials such as rugs.
- Do not heat the power cable.
- Do not handle the power plug with wet hands.
• Turn off the projector, unplug the power cable and have the projector serviced by a qualified service personnel under
the following conditions:
- When the power cable or plug is damaged or frayed.
- If liquid has been spilled into the projector, or if it has been exposed to rain or water.
- If the projector does not operate normally when you follow the instructions described in this user’s manual.
- If the projector has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
- If the projector exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service.
• Disconnect the power cable and any other cables before carrying the projector.
• Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable before cleaning the cabinet or replacing the lamp.
• Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable if the projector is not to be used for an extended period of time.
• When using a LAN cable:
For safety, do not connect to the connector for peripheral device wiring that might have excessive voltage.
Place the projector in a horizontal position
The tilt angle of the projector should not exceed 10 degrees, nor should the projector be installed in any way other
than the desktop and ceiling mount, otherwise lamp life could decrease dramatically.

Important Information
CAUTION
• Do not use the tilt-foot for purposes other than originally intended. Misuses such as gripping the tilt-foot or hang-
ing on the wall can cause damage to the projector.
• Do not send the projector in the soft case by parcel delivery service or cargo shipment. The projector inside the
soft case could be damaged.
• Select [HIGH] in Fan mode if you continue to use the projector for consecutive days. (From the menu, select
[SETUP] - [OPTIONS(1)] [FAN MODE] [HIGH].)→ →
• Do not try to touch the ventilation outlet on the left front (when seen from the front) as it can become heated while
the projector is turned on and immediately after the projector is turned off.
• Do not turn off the AC power for 60 seconds after the lamp is turned on and while the POWER indicator is blink-
ing green. Doing so could cause premature lamp failure.
Remote Control Precautions
• Handle the remote control carefully.
• If the remote control gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
• Avoid excessive heat and humidity.
• Do not heat, take apart, or throw batteries into fire.
• If you will not be using the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries.
• Ensure that you have the batteries’ polarity (+/-) aligned correctly.
• Do not use new and old batteries together, or use different types of batteries together.
• Dispose of used batteries according to your local regulations.
Lamp Replacement
• To replace the lamp, follow all instructions provided on page .72
• Be sure to replace the lamp when the message [THE LAMP HAS REACHED THE END OF ITS USABLE LIFE.
PLEASE REPLACE THE LAMP.] appears. If you continue to use the lamp after the lamp has reached the end
of its usable life, 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 dealer for lamp replacement.
A Lamp Characteristic
The projector has a high-pressure mercury lamp as a light source.
A lamp has a characteristic that its brightness gradually decreases with age. Also repeatedly turning the lamp on
and off will increase the possibility of its lower brightness.
CAUTION:
When removing the lamp from a ceiling-mounted projector, make sure that no one is under the projector. Glass
fragments could fall if the lamp has been burned out.
v
Important Information
About High Altitude mode
•
Set [FAN MODE] to [HIGH ALTITUDE] when using the projector at altitudes approximately 5500 feet/1600 meters or
higher.
Using the projector at altitudes approximately 5500 feet/1600 meters or higher without setting to [HIGH ALTITUDE]
can cause the projector to overheat and the protector could shut down. If this happens, wait a couple minutes and
turn on the projector.
• Using the projector at altitudes less than approximately 5500 feet/1600 meters and setting to [HIGH ALTITUDE]
can cause the lamp to overcool, causing the image to flicker. Switch [FAN MODE] to [AUTO].
• Using the projector at altitudes approximately 5500 feet/1600 meters or higher can shorten the life of optical com-
ponents such as the lamp.

2. Installation and Connections
WARNING
* Installing your projector on the ceiling must be done
by a qualied 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 41˚F (5˚C) and 104˚F (40˚C) (Eco mode se-
lected 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.
Reecting the Image
Using a mirror to reect 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 )→ 60

2. Installation and Connections
Making Connections
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 manage-
ment 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.

this happen, restart your PC.
Do not disconnect the DVI cable while the projector is running. If the signal cable has been disconnected and then
re-connected, an image may not be correctly displayed. Should this happen, restart your PC.
NOTE:
• Use a DVI cable or the one compliant with the DDWG (Digital Display Working Group) DVI (Digital Visual Interface) revision 1.0
standard. The DVI cable should be within 5 m (196") long. Both single and dual types of DVI cable can be used.

NOTE: Immediately after turning on the projector, screen flicker may occur. This is normal. Wait 3 to 5 minutes until the lamp light-
ing is stabilized.
NOTE: If you turn on the projector immediately after the lamp is turned off or when the temperature is high, the fans run without
displaying an image for some time and then the projector will display the image.
CAUTION:
The projector cannot be turned off for 60 seconds after the lamp is turned on and while the POWER indicator is blinking
green. Doing so could cause premature lamp failure.
When the [LAMP MODE] is set to [ECO], the LAMP indicator will light green.
If one of the following things happens, the projector will not turn on.
• If the internal temperature of the projector is too high, the projector detects abnormal high temperature. In this
condition the projector will not turn on to protect the internal system. If this happens, wait for the projector’s internal
components to cool down.
• When the lamp reaches its end of usable life, the projector will not turn on. If this happens, replace the lamp.
• If the lamp fails to light, and if the STATUS indicator flashes on and off in a cycle of six times, wait a full minute and
then turn on the power.
NOTE: Turning the Main Power Switch Off then Back On
Allow a minimum of 1 second between turning off the main power switch and turning it back on again.
The same will be applied when a power strip equipped with a switch and a breaker is used.
Failing to do so could result in no power to the projector. (There will be no stand-by LED)
Should this happen, unplug the power cable and plug it in again. Turn on the main power switch.

7 Network Setting by Using an HTTP Browser
Overview
Connecting the projector to a network allows the Alert Mail setting ( page ) and the projector control from a →43
computer via the network.
To perform the projector control from a web browser, you must have an exclusive application installed on your com-
puter.
The IP address and subnet mask of the projector can be set on the Network Setting screen of the web browser by
using an HTTP server function. Please be sure to use “Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0” or a higher version for the web
browser. (This device uses “JavaScript” and “Cookies” and the browser should be set to accept these functions. The
setting method will vary depending on the version of browser. Please refer to the help files and the other information
provided in your software.)
Access is gained to the HTTP server function by starting the Web browser on the computer via the network connected
to the projector and enter the following URL.
• Network Setting
http://<the projector’s IP address>/index.html
• Alert Mail Setting
http://<the projector’s IP address>/lanconfig.html
TIP:
• The default IP address is “192.168.0.10”.
• The exclusive application can be downloaded from our website.
NOTE:
• If the PROJECTOR NETWORK SETTINGS screen does not appear in the web browser, press the Ctrl+F5 keys to refresh your web
browser (or clear the cache).
• The display’s or button’s response can be slowed down or operation may not be accepted depending the settings of your network.
Should this happen, consult your network administrator.
The projector may not respond if its buttons are repeatedly pressed in rapid intervals. Should this happen, wait a moment and
repeat. If you still can’t get any response, turn off and back on the projector.
Preparation Before Use
Connect the projector to a commercially available LAN cable before engaging in browser operations. ( page )→20
Operation with a browser that uses a proxy server may not be possible depending on the type of proxy server and the
setting method. Although the type of proxy server will be a factor, it is possible that items that have actually been set
will not be displayed depending on the effectiveness of the cache, and the contents set from the browser may not be
reflected in operation. It is recommended that a proxy server not be used unless it is unavoidable.
Handling of the Address for Operation via a Browser
Regarding the actual address that is entered for the address or entered to the URL column when operation of the pro-
jector is via a browser, the host name can be used as it is when the host name corresponding to the IP address of the
projector has been registered to the domain name server by a network administrator, or the host name corresponding
to the IP address of the projector has been set in the “HOSTS” file of the computer being used.
Example 1: When the host name of the projector has been set to “pj.nec.co.jp”, access is gained to the network
setting by specifying
http://pj.nec.co.jp/index.html
for the address or the entry column of the URL.
Example 2: When the IP address of the projector is “192.168.73.1”, access is gained to the mail alert settings by
specifying
http://192.168.73.1/index.html
for the address or the entry column of the URL.
