VT45LP lamp replacement and time  

Be sure to replace the VT45LP lamp when the message "The lamp has reached the end of its usable life. 

Please replace the lamp." appears. If you continue to use the lamp after the lamp has reached

 the end of its usable life, the lamp bulb may shatter, and pieces of glass may be scattered in 

the VT45LP  lamp case. Do not touch them as the pieces of glass may cause injury. If this happens, contact 

your NEC dealer for lamp replacement.

Allow a minimum of 60 seconds to elapse after turning off the projector. Then disconnect the power

cable and allow 60 minutes to cool the projector before replacing the lamp.

The lamp has reached the end of its usable life. Please replace the lamp.

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

the lamp, clean the filters, and replace the batteries in the remote control.

After your VT45LP lamp has been operating for 1000 hours (up to 2000 hours in Eco 2 mode and up to 1500 hours

 in Eco 1 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 1000 (up to 2000 hours in Eco 2 mode and up to

1500 hours in Eco 1 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

60 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 two lamp case screws. You could receive an electric shock.

• The projector will turn off and go into stand by mode after 1100 (up to 2100 hours in Eco 2 mode and up to 1600 hours

in Eco 1 mode) hours of service. If this happens, be sure to replace the lamp. If you continue to use the lamp after 1000

hours (up to 2000 hours in Eco 2 mode and up to 1500 hours in Eco 1 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.
