NEC NP3151W - Manual (Page 141)

 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 124 )
CAUTION
• DO NOT TOUCH THE LAMP immediately after it has been used. It will be extremely hot. Turn the projector off,
wait 30 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 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.
