VT40LP  lamp replacement and time  

Replacing the VT40LP Lamp

After your lamp has been operating for 2000 hours (up to 3000 hours in Eco mode) or longer, 

the “Status” light in the cabinet will go on and the message will appear. Even though the lamp 

may still be working, replace it at 2000 (up to 3000 hours in Eco mode) hours to maintain optimal projector performance

• DO NOT TOUCH THE LAMP immediately after it has been

used. It will be extremely hot. Turn the projector off, wait a

full minute, 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 VT40LP 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 2100

(up to 3150 hours in Eco mode) hours of service. If this happens,

be sure to replace the VT40LP lamp. If you continue to use the lamp after

2000 hours (up to 3150 hours in 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.
