This section describes the simple maintenance procedures you should follow to replace the lamp.

Replacing the Lamp
After your lamp has been operating for 1000 hours (1500 hours: Eco mode) or longer, the “Status” indicator in the cabinet will go on and the message will appear. Even though the lamp may still be working, replace it at 1000 hours (1500 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, 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 three lamp case screws. You could receive an electric shock.
•The projector will turn off and go into stand by mode after 1100 hours (1600 hours: Eco mode) of service. If this happens, be sure to replace the lamp. If you continue to use the lamp after 1000 hours (1500 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.
