3. Projecting an Image (Basic Operation)
This section describes how to turn on the projector and to project a picture onto the screen.
1 Turning on the Projector
1.  remove the lens cap
	 •	 	 Do	not 	remove 	the 	lens 	cap 	by 	pulling 	on 	the 	string. 	Doing	
so can cause mechanical damage to the part around the 
lens.
2.  Press the  (POWer) button on the projector cabinet 
or the POWer On button on the remote control for 1 
second. 
  The POWER indicator will turn to green and the projector 
will become ready to use.
NOTE: When the projector is turned on, it may take some time 
before the lamp light becomes bright.
TIP: 
•	 When	 the	STATUS	 indicator	 lights	orange,	 it	means	 that	the	
[CONTROL	PANEL	LOCK]	is	turned	on.	(→ page 55)
•	 When 	the 	message 	“Projector 	is 	locked! 	Enter 	your 	password.”	
is	 displayed,	 it	means	 that	the	[SECURITY]	 is	turned	 on.	(→ 
page 31)
 After you turn on your projector, ensure that the computer 
or  video  source  is  turned  on  and  that  your  lens  cap  is 
removed.
NOTE:	 When	no	signal	 is	available,	 the	NEC	 logo	 (default),	 blue,	or	
black	screen 	will 	be 	displayed. 	After 	a 	lapse 	of 	45 	seconds 	from 	when	
the	 projector	 displays	a	blue,	 black	 or	logo	 screen,	 [ECO	MODE]	 will	
always	switch	to	[ON].	 This	is	done	 only	when	 [ECO	MODE]	 is	set	
to	[OFF].

3. Projecting an Image (Basic Operation)
Note on Startup screen (Menu Language Select screen)
When you first turn on the projector, you will get the Startup menu. This menu gives you the opportunity to select one 
of the 21 menu languages.
To	select	a	menu	language,	follow	these	steps:
1. Use  the , ,   or   button  to  select  one  of  the  21 
languages from the menu.
2.  Press the enter button to execute the selection.
After  this  has  been  done,  you  can  proceed  to  the  menu 
operation.
If you want, you can select the menu language later.
(→	[LANGUAGE]	on	page	41 and 52)
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, 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	[ECO	MODE]	is	set	to	[ON],	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.
