6. Maintenance
5. Connect the supplied power cable, and turn on the projector.
6.   finally, select the menu → [reset] → [Clear laMP hOUrs] to reset the lamp usage hours.
NOTE:	 When	you	continue	 to	use	 the	projector	 for	another	 100	hours	 after	the	lamp	 has	reached	 the	end	 of	its	 life,	 the	projector	
cannot turn on and the menu is not displayed.
If	this	happens,	press	the	HELP	button	on	the	remote	control	for	10	seconds	to	reset	the	lamp	clock	back	to	zero.
When	the	lamp	time	clock	is	reset	to	zero,	the	LAMP	indicator	goes	out.
 
4.  reattach the lamp cover.
(1)  Slide the lamp cover back until it snaps into place.
(2) Tighten the screw to secure the lamp cover.
	 •	Be	sure	to	tighten	the	screw.
3.  install a new lamp housing.
(1)  Insert a new lamp housing until the lamp housing is plugged into the socket. 
CAUTION
Do not use a lamp other than the NEC replacement lamp NP13LP.
Order this from your NEC dealer.
(2) Push the top center of the lamp housing to secure it.
(3) Secure it in place with the three screws.
	 •	Be	sure	to	tighten	the	screws.
 Hold the cabinet with your hand to keep it from tilting while you tighten the screw.

Over-Temperature	Protection
If the temperature inside the projector rises too high, the over-temperature protector will automatically turn off the lamp 
with the STATUS indicator blinking (2-cycle On and Off.)
Should this happen, do the following:
•	 Unplug	the	power	cable	after	the	cooling	fans	stop.
•	 Move	the	projector	to	a	cooler	location	if	the	room	where	you	are	presenting	is	particularly	too	warm.
•	 Clean	the	ventilation	holes	if	they	are	clogged	with	dust.
•	 Wait	about	60	minutes	until	the	inside	of	the	projector	becomes	cool	enough.

Common	Problems	&	Solutions (→ “Power/Status/Lamp Indicator” on page 73.)
ProblemCheck	These	Items
Does not turn on
or shut down•	 Check	 that	the	power	 cable	is	plugged	 in	and	 that	the	power	 button	 on	the	 projector	 cabinet	or	the	 remote	control is on. (→ pages 17 and 18)•	 Ensure	that	the	lamp	cover	is	installed	correctly. 	(→ page 72)•	 Check	to	see	 if	the	 projector	 has	overheated. 	If	 there	 is	insufficient	 ventilation	around	the	projector	 or	if	the	room where you are presenting is particularly warm, move the projector to a cooler location.
•	Check to see if you continue to use the projector for another 100 hours after the lamp has reached the end of its life. 
If so, replace the lamp. After replacing the lamp, reset the lamp hours used. (→ page 68)
•	 The	lamp	may	fail	to	light. 	Wait	a	full	minute	and	then	turn	on	the	power	again.•	 Set	 [FAN	MODE]	 to	[HIGH	 ALTITUDE]	 when	using	the	projector	 at	altitudes	 approximately	 5500	feet/1700	meters or higher. Using the projector at altitudes approximately 5500 feet/1700 meters or higher without setting to	[HIGH	 ALTITUDE]	 can	cause	 the	projector	 to	overheat	 and	the	projector	 could	shut	down. 	If	 this	 happens,	wait a couple minutes and turn on the projector. (→ page 61) 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.  Wait for a moment.
Will turn off
•	 Ensure	that	the	[OFF	 TIMER]	or	[AUTO	POWER	OFF]	is	off. 	(→ page 63, 64)

•	 Use	 the	COMPUTER1,	 the	VIDEO	 or	the	 S-VIDEO	 button	on	the	 remote	 control	to	select	 your	source	 (Com-
puter, Video or S-Video). (→ page 20) If there is still no picture, press the button again.
•	 Ensure	your	cables	are	connected	properly.•	 Use	menus	to	adjust	the	brightness	and	contrast. 	(→ page 49)•	 Remove	the	lens	cap.•	Reset	the	settings	or	adjustments	to	factory	preset	levels	using	the	[RESET]	in	the	Menu. 	(→ page 68)•	 Enter	your	registered	keyword	if	the	Security	function	is	enabled.	(→ page 32)•	 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 management software.•	 See	also	the	next page .

(→ page 10)
•	 Condensation	 may	form	 on	the	 lens	 if	the	 projector	 is	cold,	 brought	 into	a	warm	 place	and	is	then	 turned	 on.	Should this happen, let the projector stand until there is no condensati\
on on the lens.

•	 Set	 [FAN	MODE]	 to	other	 than	[HIGH	 ALTITUDE]	 mode	when	using	the	projector	 at	altitudes	 approximately	5500 feet/1700 meters or lower. Using the projector at altitudes less than approximately 5500 feet/1700 meters and	setting	 to	[HIGH	 ALTITUDE]	 can	cause	 the	lamp	 to	overcool,	 causing	the	image	 to	flicker. 	Switch	 [FAN	MODE]	to	[AUTO]. 	(→ page 61)

7. Appendix
If	there	is	no	picture,	or	the	picture	is	not	displayed	correctly.
•	 Power	on	process	for	the	projector	and	the	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.
NOTE:	 You	can	check	 the	horizontal	 frequency	of	the	 current	 signal	in	the	 projector’s	 menu	under	 Information.	 If	it	reads	 “0kHz”,	
this means there is no signal being output from the computer. (→ page 67	or	go	to	next	step)
•	 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. Usu -
ally, 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.
•	 Non-standard	signal	output	from	the	computer
 If  the  output  signal  from  a  notebook  PC  is  not  an  industry  standard,  the  projected  image  may  not  be  displayed 
correctly. Should this happen, deactivate the notebook PC’s LCD screen when the projector display is in use. Each 
notebook PC has a different way of deactivate/reactivate the local LCD screens as described in the previous step. 
Refer to your computer’s documentation for detailed information.
•	 Image	displayed	is	incorrect	when	using	a	Macintosh
 When using a Macintosh with the projector, set the DIPswitch of the Mac adapter (not supplied with the projector) 
according to your resolution. After setting, restart your Macintosh for the changes to take affect.
 For setting display modes other than those supported by your Macintosh and the projector, changing the DIP switch 
on a Mac adapter may bounce an image slightly or may display nothing. Should this happen, set the DIP switch 
to	the	 13"	 fixed	 mode	 and	then	 restart	 your	Macintosh. 	After	 that,	restore	 the	DIP	 switches	 to	a	displayable	 mode	
and then restart the Macintosh again.
NOTE:	A	Video	 Adapter	 cable	manufactured	 by	Apple	 Computer	 is	needed	 for	a	PowerBook	 which	does	not	have	 a	mini	 D-Sub	
15-pin	connector.
•	 Mirroring	on	a	PowerBook
* When using the projector with a Macintosh PowerBook, output may not be set to 1024 x 768 unless “mirroring” 
is off on your PowerBook. Refer to owner’s manual supplied with your Macintosh computer for mirroring.
•	 Folders	or	icons	are	hidden	on	the	Macintosh	screen
	 Folders	 or	icons	 may	not	be	seen	 on	the	 screen. 	Should	 this	happen,	 select	[View]	→	[Arrange]	 from	the	Apple	
menu and arrange icons.
