 Replacing the Lamp

When the lamp reaches the end of its life, the LAMP indicator in the cabinet will blink red. Even though the lamp may
still be working, replace the lamp to maintain the optimal projector performance. After replacing the lamp, be sure to
clear the lamp hour meter. (→ page 80)
CAUTION
• DO NOT TOUCH THE LAMP immediately after it has been used. It will be extremely hot. Turn the projector off,
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 one lamp cover screw and two lamp housing screws.You could receive
an electric shock.
• Do not break the glass on the lamp housing.
Keep finger prints off the glass surface on the lamp housing. Leaving finger prints on the glass surface might cause
an unwanted shadow and poor picture quality.
• The projector will turn off and go into standby mode when you continue to use the projector for another 100 hours
after the lamp has reached the end of its life. If this happens, be sure to replace the lamp. If you continue to use
the lamp after the lamp reaches the end of its 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 NEC
dealer for lamp replacement.
