Important Information
RF Interference (for USA only)
WARNING:
The Federal Communications Commission does not allow any modifications or
changes to the unit EXCEPT those specified by NEC Display Solutions of America, Inc. in this manual. Failure to comply with this government regulation could
void your right to operate this equipment. This equipment has been tested and
found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in
a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
z Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
z Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
z Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
z Consult the dealer or an experienced radio / TV technician for help.
For UK only: In UK, a BS approved power cable with molded plug has a Black (five
Amps) fuse installed for use with this equipment. If a power cable is not supplied with
this equipment please contact your supplier.
Important Safeguards
These safety instructions are to ensure the long life of your projector and to prevent fire
and shock. Please read them carefully and heed all warnings.
Installation
• Do not place the projector in the following conditions:
On an unstable cart, stand, or table.
Near water, baths or damp rooms.
In direct sunlight, near heaters or heat radiating appliances.
In a dusty, smoky or steamy environment.
On a sheet of paper or cloth, rugs or carpets.
iii
Important Information
• If you wish to have the projector installed on the ceiling:
Do not attempt to install the projector yourself.
The projector must be installed by qualified technicians in order to ensure proper
operation and reduce the risk of bodily injury.
In addition, the ceiling must be strong enough to support the projector and the in-
stallation must be in accordance with any local building codes.
Please consult your dealer for more information.
CAUTION:
When shipping the projector, remove the optional lens beforehand. The lens
and the lens shift mechanism may encounter damage caused by improper
handling during transportation.
Place the projector in a horizontal position
Do not put the projector on its side when the lamp is turned on. Doing so may cause
damage to the projector. Tilting the front of the projector up or down by more than 45°
from level could reduce lamp life by up to 20%.
CAUTION:
Do not drop the projector on your hand or fingers while lifting the projector to
replace the filters. Doing so could injure your hand or fingers.
iv
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 8 inches (20cm) of space between your projector and a wall.
• Do not try to touch the ventilation outlet on the rear 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 project. If something should fall into your projector, disconnect it immediately and have the object
removed by 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.
Ensure that your power supply fits this requirement 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 elec-
tric shock or fire.
Do not use any power cables other than the one supplied by NEC.
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.
v
Important Information
• Turn off the projector, unplug the power cable and have the projector serviced by
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 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.
• Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable before cleaning the cabinet or re-
placing the lamp.
CAUTION:
• Always carry your projector by using the carrying handle.
• Do not use the tilt-foot for purposes other than originally intended. Misuses
such as using the tilt foot to carry or hang (from the wall or ceiling) the projector 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.
• If heavy use for a number of consecutive days is expected, select the High
setting in the Fan Mode window to reduce heat stress on the projector (see
1Fan Mode).
• Do not unplug the power cable from the wall outlet or projector when the projector is powered on. Doing so can cause damage to the AC IN connector of
the projector and (or) the prong plug of the power cable.
• To turn off the AC power supply when the projector is powered on, use a
power strip equipped with a switch and a breaker.
• The projector can be unplugged during its cool down period after it is turned
off.
• Do not try to touch the ventilation outlet on the rear 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 blinking green. Doing so could cause premature
lamp failure.
• Do not place your hands near the lens opening while shifting the lens. Shifting
the lens could pinch your fingers or hands causing injury.
vi
Important Information
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 either of the lamps, follow all instructions provided on page 107.
Be sure to replace the lamp when the following is displayed on the screen:
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.
Important Lamp Characteristic
The projector has a high-pressure mercury lamp as a light source.
A characteristic of mercury lamps is that brightness gradually decreases with age. Also
repeatedly turning the lamp on and off will increase the possibility of reduced 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.

1. Introduction
Important:
1. Avoid using the projector with bright fluorescent lighting turned on. Certain high-
frequency fluorescent lights can disrupt remote control operation.
2. Be sure nothing obstructs the path between the remote control and the projector. If the path between remote and projector is obstructed, you can bounce the
remote signal off certain reflective surfaces such as projector screens.
3. The buttons and keys on the projector have the same functions as the corresponding buttons on the remote control. This user’s manual describes the
functions based on the remote control.
Note:
*To turn off the projector, press the Power OFF button twice.
**To turn on the projector, press and hold the Power On button for a minimum of
two seconds.

1. Introduction
Operating Range for Wireless Remote Control
The infrared signal operates by line-of-sight up to a distance of about 22 feet (7m) and
within a 60-degree angle of the remote sensor on the projector cabinet.
The projector will not respond if there are objects between the remote control and the
sensor, or if strong light falls on the sensor. Weak batteries will also prevent the remote
control from properly operating the projector.
Remote Control Precautions
The following precautions ensure that the remote operates correctly and safely.
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.
For extended periods of inactivity, remove the batteries.
Ensure that the batteries' polarity (+/–) aligned correctly.
Do not use new and old batteries together, or different types of batteries together.
Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.

2. Installation and Connections
Ceiling installation must be done by a qualified professional. Contact your
NEC dealer for more information.
It is not recommended you install the projector yourself.
Only use the projector on a solid, level surface. Serious injury and dam-
age can occur if the projector falls to the ground.
CAUTION
Do not use the projector in an environment where extreme temperature
occurs. The projector must be used at temperatures between 41 degrees
Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius) and 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees
Celsius).
Screen damage will occur if the projector is exposed to moisture, dust or
smoke.
Do not cover the vents on the projector. Proper ventilation is required to
dissipate heat. Damage to the projector will occur if the vents are covered.

2. Installation and Connections
r Replacing Color Wheel
The NP4001/NP4000 projector comes with a four-segment color wheel installed. An additional
six-segment color wheel comes included. To replace the color wheel (located under the lamp
cover adjacent to lamp 1) refer to the following guide.
Note:
• Before replacing the color wheel, be sure to turn off the projector, wait until the
cooling fans stop, and turn off the main power switch.
• Wait until the lamp house and the color wheel cool off. •
• Do not touch the disk of the color wheel. Doing so may scratch the disk or leave
fingerprints, causing the image quality to degrade.
• Heed the following information if you own two or more NP4001/NP4000 projectors:
When replacing or re-installing the color wheel, the original color wheel preinstalled or supplied as an accessory must go back to its original projector. Your
color wheel and projector color wheel cover are given an identification number. Be
sure to use the color wheel pre-installed or supplied with your projector to match
its identification number.
If you remove a color wheel from one NP4001/NP4000 projector and re-install it
into another NP4001/NP4000 projector, performance may be compromised.

s Making Connections
2. Installation and Connections
Connecting Your PC or Macintosh Computer
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.
To connect a PC or Macintosh computer to the projector, refer to the following guide.
1. Connect a computer to the projector through one of the three available input data
connections before turning on the PC or the projector. The best signal order
