This section describes the simple maintenance procedures you should follow
to replace the lamp, clean or replace the filter, and replace the batteries in the
remote control.
Replacing The Lamp
After your lamp has been operating for 2000 hours or longer, the
ÒstatusÓ light in the cabinet will go on. Even though the lamp may still
be working, replace it at 2000 hours to maintain optimal projector
performance.
CAUTION
¥ DO NOT TOUCH THE LAMP immediately after it has been used. It will
be extremely hot. Allow at least one hour for the lamp to cool before
handling.
¥ DO NOT REMOVE ANY SCREWS except the lamp cover set screw
and  two lamp case screws. You could receive an electric shock.
¥ Turn off the main power to the projector and disconnect the power cord.
Allow at least one hour for the lamp to cool.
¥ The projector will turn off and go into stand by mode after 2100 hours of
service.  If this happens, be sure to replace the lamp. If you continue to
use the lamp after 2000 hours 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.
MAINTENANCE 4
To replace the lamp:
1. Remove the single screw that secures the lamp housing cover and remove
the cover.
2. Remove the two screws securing the lamp case. (There is an interlock on
this case to prevent the risk of electrical shock. Do not attempt to circum-
vent this interlock.)
3. Remove the lamp by pulling out the complete assembly.
4. Install a new lamp case assembly and secure it in place with the two screws.
CAUTION: Do not use a lamp other than the NEC replacement lamp.
Order this from your NEC dealer using your projectors model number.
5. Reattach the lamp cover and reinstall the single screw.
6. After you install a new lamp, select the lamp Usage icon and press and hold
the Power On button on the remote control for ten seconds to reset the
lamp time clock to zero.
NOTE: If resetting the lamp clock back to zero after 2100 hours of service, press
the Power Off (not Power On) button on the remote control for ten seconds .
NOTE: When you replace the lamp, it is also wise to replace the filter. The filter
comes in the same package with your replacement lamp.
 CAUTION: Do not put the LCD projector on end except to replace the air
filter.

Cleaning Or Replacing The Filter
The air-filter sponge keeps the inside of the MultiSync MT1000 LCD Projector free from dust or dirt
and should be cleaned after every 100 hours of operation (more often in dusty conditions). If the filter
is dirty or clogged, your projector may overheat.
NOTE:  Clean your filter after every 100 hours of operation.
CAUTION
¥ Turn off the LCD projector and wait for the fan to stop. Turn off the main power and unplug
the projector before replacing the filter.
¥ Only clean the outside of the filter cover with a vacuum cleaner.
¥ Do not attempt to operate the projector without a filter.
¥ Your LCD projector will not operate unless the filter is installed correctly.
¥ Do not put the LCD projector on end except to replace the filter.
To clean the air-filter:
1. Turn over the projector. Put the LCD projector on end so that the bottom is visible.
2. Vacuum the filter through the filter cover.
3. Place the projector back in a horizontal position.
To replace the air-filter:
1. Remove the filter panel by pushing up on the catch of the cover with a flat-head screwdriver until
you feel it detach.
2. Remove the filter and replace it.
3. Reinstall the filter panel.
NOTE: Do not detach the sponge from the filter cover. Do not wash the filter with soap and water.
Soap and water will damage the filter membrane.
Before replacing the air-filter, remove dust and dirt from the projector cabinet. Keep out dust
and dirt during filter replacement.
Remote Control Battery Installation
1. Press firmly and slide the battery cover off.
2. Remove both old batteries and install new ones (AA). Ensure that you have the batteries polarity
(+/Ð) aligned correctly.
3. Slip the cover back over the batteries until it snaps into place.

This section explains conditions that you will encounter when operating your MT1000
while displaying an SXGA (128021024) image.
When a menu or message is displayed while an SXGA image is projected, several lines
of information will be lost.
When the LAMP USAGE 2000 HOURS message appears, several lines of information
will be lost.
The LAMP USAGE 2000 HOURS message will not appear when the freeze button is
activated.
SXGA images inherently display a 5 to 4 ratio, resulting in an image that appears to be
smaller and more square than the 4 to 3 format commonly displayed.
