1. Introduction
 Introduction to the Projector
This	section	introduces	you	to	your	new	projector	and	describes	the	features	and	controls.
Features you’ll enjoy:
•	 Ultra	short	throw	distances	
	 Ultra	short	focal	lenses	 provide	 for	a	larger	 image	 using	a	shorter	 throw	distance	 when	compared	 to	a	typical	
projector	lens.
	 UM361X/UM301X: 	Max	116.6"	(UM351W/UM301W: 	Max	110"),	throw	distance:	51	cm/20	inches
	 (The	throw	distance	refers	to	the	distance	between	the	screen	and	the	screen	side	of	the	projector)
•	 Quick	start	(6	seconds*1),	Quick	Power	Off, 	Direct	Power	Off
 6 seconds*1	after	turning	on	the	power,	the	projector	is	ready	to	display	PC	or	video	images.
	 The	 projector	 can	be	put	 away	 immediately	 after	the	projector	 is	powered	 down.	No	 cool	 down	 period	 is	required	
after	the	projector	is	turned	off	from	the	remote	control	or	cabinet	control	panel.
	 The	 projector	 has	a	feature	 called	“Direct	 Power	Off ”.	This	 feature	 allows	the	projector	 to	be	 turned	 off	(even	 when	
projecting	an	image)	by	using	the	Main	Power	Switch	or	disconnecting	the	AC	power	supply.
	 To	 turn	off	the	 AC	power	 supply	 when	the	projector	 is	powered	 on,	use	 a	power	 strip	equipped	 with	a	switch	 and	
a	breaker.
*1	 The	quick	start	time	is	only	 when	 [STANDBY	 MODE]	is	set	 to	[NETWORK	 STANDBY]	in	the	 on-screen	 mes-
sage.
•	 0.22W(100-130	 V	AC)/0.39W	(200-240	 V	AC)	in	standby	condition	with	energy	saving	technology
	 Selecting	[NORMAL]	for	[STANDBY	 MODE]	from	the	menu	 can	put	the	projector	 in	power-saving	 mode	that	con-
sumes	only	0.22W(100-130	 V	AC)/0.39W	(200-240	V	AC).
•	 Carbon	Meter	
	 This	feature	will	show	 energy-saving	 effect	in	terms	 of	CO2	emission	 reduction	 (kg)	when	 the	projector’s	 [ECO	
MODE]	is	set	to	[AUTO	ECO],	[NORMAL],	or	[ECO].
	 The	amount	 of	CO2	emission	 reduction	 will	be	displayed	 in	the	 confirmation	 message	at	the	 time	 of	power-off	 and	
in	the	INFO	of	the	on-screen	menu.
•	 Lamp	life	up	to	8000	hours*2
	 Using	 in	Eco	 Mode	 (ECO)	 allows	you	to	prolong	 the	projector’s	 lamp	life	up	to	8000	 hours	 (up	to	4000	 hours	 in	
ECO	MODE	OFF). 	
*2	 UM351W/UM361X: 	6000	hours	(up	to	3800	hours	in	ECO	MODE	OFF)
•	 Two	HDMI	inputs	supports	digital	signals
	 The	two	HDMI	inputs	provide	HDCP	compatible	digital	signals. 	The	HDMI	input	also	supports	audio	signal.
•	 Project	the	image	on	a	smart	phone	and	a	tablet
	 Since	 the	projector	 supports	MHL	(Mobile	 High-definition	 Link),	it	can	 project	 videos	and	photos	 on	a	smart	 phone	
and	a	tablet	terminal	by	connection,	and	output	their	sound	from	the	built-in	speaker.
•	 20	 W	built-in	speaker	for	an	integrated	audio	solution
	 Powerful	20	watt	monaural	speaker	provides	volume	need	for	large	rooms.
•	 MIC	Input	provided
	 A	MIC	input	 jack	for	a	commercially	 available	dynamic	microphone	 is	useful	 for	your	 presentation	 in	a	conference	
room or lecture in a classroom.
•	 The	 optional	 interactive	 white	board	 kit	(NP03Wi, 	sold	 separately)	 and	the	projector	 can	be	used	 to	convert	
your	whiteboard	into	a	virtual	touchscreen.
	 By	 the	optional	 stylus	pen,	it's	able	 to	directly	 write-into	 the	projected	 image	that	realizes	 more	effective	 presenta-
tion and lecture.

1. Introduction
•	 Correspond	to	various	installation
	 Besides	installation	on	the	 wall,	 it	can	 correspond	 various	installation	 as	projecting	 image	up	onto	 the	ceiling	 ,	onto	
the	table,	and	onto	the	floor,	etc.
•	 The	supplied	remote	control	allows	you	to	assign	a	CONTROL	ID	to	the	projector
	 Multiple 	projectors 	can	 be	operated 	separately 	and	 independently 	with 	the	 same 	single	 remote	 control	by	assigning 	
an	ID	number	to	each	projector.
•	 USB	Display	
	 Using	 a	commercially	 available	USB	cable	 (compatible	 with	USB	 2.0	specifications)	 to	connect	 the	computer	 with	
the	projector	 allows	you	to	send	 your	computer	 screen	image	to	the	 projector	 without	the	need	 of	a	traditional	
computer	cable	(VGA).
•	 Integrated	RJ-45	terminal	for	wired	networking	capability	along	with	wireless	networking	capabilities
	 An	RJ-45	terminal	is	standard. 	An	optional	USB	Wireless	LAN	Unit	is	required	for	wireless	LAN	connection.
•	 Software	programs	(User	Supportware)	contained	in	the	supplied	CD-ROM
	 The	supplied	 NEC	Projector	 includes	three	programs: 	Virtual	 Remote	 Tool,	Image	 Express	 Utility	Lite	(for	Windows/
Mac	OS),	and	PC	Control	Utility	Pro	4	(for	 Windows)/5	(for	Mac	OS).
	 Image	Express	Utility	Lite	(for	Windows)	 can	be	started	 from	a	commercially	 available	USB	memory	 or	SD	 card	
without	the	need	of	installing	on	your	computer.
•	 AUTO	POWER	ON	and	AUTO	POWER	OFF	features
	 The	 DIRECT	 POWER	 ON,	AUTO	 POWER	 ON,	AUTO	 POWER	 OFF,	and	OFF	 TIMER	 features	 eliminate	 the	need	
to	always	use	the	POWER	button	on	the	remote	control	or	projector	cabinet.
•	 Preventing	unauthorized	use	of	the	projector
	 Enhanced	 smart	security	 settings	for	keyword	 protection,	 cabinet	control	panel	lock,	security	 slot,	and	security	
chain	opening	to	help	prevent	unauthorized	access,	adjustments	and	theft	deterrence.
•	 High	resolution	up	to	 WUXGA*3
	 High	resolution	 display	-	up	 to	WUXGA	 compatible,	 XGA	(UM361X/UM301X)/WXGA	 (UM351W/UM301W)	native	
resolution.
*
3	 When	WXGA	MODE	is	set	to	ON.
•	 CRESTRON	ROOMVIEW	compatibility
	 The	projector	 supports	CRESTRON	 ROOMVIEW,	 allowing	multiple	devices	connected	 in	the	 network	 to	be	 man-
aged	and	controlled	from	a	computer	or	controller.

1. Introduction
Removing and Attaching the Cable Cover
After	finishing	connections,	attach	the	supplied	cable	cover	to	properly	hide	the	cables.
 CAUTION:
•	 Be	sure	to	tighten	 the	screws	 after	attaching	 the	cable	 cover.	Failure	 to	do	 so	may	 cause	 the	cable	 cover	 to	come	
off	and	fall,	resulting	in	injury	or	damage	to	the	cable	cover.
•	 Do	not	put	bundled	cables	in	the	cable	cover. 	Doing	so	may	damage	the	power	cord,	resulting	in	a	fire.
•	 Do	not	hold	 the	cable	 cover	 while	moving	 the	projector	 or	do	 not	 apply	 excessive	 force	to	the	 cable	 cover.	Doing	 so	
may	damage	the	cable	cover,	resulting	in	injury.
Removing	the	cable	cover
Tool	needed:
•	 Phillips	screwdriver	(plus-head)	about	9	cm/4	inches	in	length
9 cm/4 inches
1. Loosen  the  cable  cover  screws  until  the  Phillips  screw-
driver goes into a freewheeling condition.
	 •	 These	screws	remain	to	stay.
2. Remove the cable cover. 
1	Push up the cable cover slightly and rotate it to release.
	 Pull  the  cable  cover  while  pushing  and  holding  the  arrow
