Replacing The Lamp - NEC LT260 Important Information Manual

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 mes-
sage will appear. Even though the lamp may still
be working, replace it at 1500 hours (up to 2000
hours : Eco mode) to maintain optimal projector
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 case. Do
not touch them as the pieces of glass may cause
injury.
If this happens, contact your NEC dealer for
lamp replacement.
