➌ Replacing the Lamp and the Cooling Pump
After your lamp has been operating for 2000 hours (up to 3000 hours in Eco mode) or longer, the LAMP indicator 
in the cabinet will blink red and the message  [The lamp has reached the end of its usable life. Please replace 
the lamp.]  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. After replacing the lamp, be sure to clear the lamp hour 
meter. ( → page 
46)
CAUTION
•  The optional lamp comes with the cooling pump.
  After replacing the lamp, be sure to replace the cooling pump, too.
•  DO NOT TOUCH THE LAMP immediately after it has been used. It will be extremely hot. Turn the projector off  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 case screws. You could receive an electric shock.
•  Do not break the glass on the lamp housing.
  Keep fi nger prints off the glass surface on the lamp housing. Leaving fi nger prints in the glass surface might  cause an unwanted shadow and poor picture quality.
•  The projector will turn off and go into standby mode after 2100 (up to 3100 hours in Eco mode) hours of ser- vice. If this happens, be sure to replace the lamp. If you continue to use the lamp after 2000 hours (up to 3000 
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.
To replace the lamp:
 Optional lamp, cooling pump and tools needed for replacement: •  Replacement lamp with cooling pump: NP03LP (NP60) or NP02LP (NP50/NP40)
•  Phillips screwdriver or equivalent
