MAINTENANCE
This section describes the simple maintenance procedures you should
follow to replace the lamp, and to clean the cabinet and the lens.
Replacing the Lamp
After your lamp has been operating for 1500 hours (up to 2000 hours : Eco
mode) or longer, the "Lamp" indicator in the cabinet will blink red and the
message will appear. Even though the lamp may still be working, replace
it at 1500 hours (up to 2000 hours : Eco mode) to maintain optimal projec-
tor performance.
CAUTION
• DO NOT TOUCH THE LAMP immediately after it has been used. It
will be extremely hot. Turn the projector off, wait 90 seconds, turn off
the main power switch, and then disconnect the power cable. Allow
at least one hour for the lamp to cool before handling.
• DO NOT REMOVE ANY SCREWS except the lamp cover screw and
two lamp case screws. You could receive an electric shock.
• The projector will turn off and go into stand by mode after 1600 hours
(up to 2100 hours : Eco mode) of service. If this happens, be sure to
replace the lamp. If you continue to use the lamp after 1500 hours
(up to 2000 hours : Eco mode) of use, the lamp bulb may shatter, and
pieces of glass may be scattered in the lamp housing. Do not touch
them as the pieces of glass may cause injury.
If this happens, contact your NEC dealer for lamp replacement.
