E–38 4. MAINTENANCE 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. Replacing the Lamp After your 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 mes- sage 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. CAUTION •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 re- ceive 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 hap- pens, contact your NEC dealer for lamp replacement. To replace the lamp: 1. Loosen the lamp cover screw until the screwdriver goes into a freewheeling condition and remove the lamp cover. The lamp cover screw is not removable. 2. Loosen the two screws securing the lamp housing until the screwdriver goes into a freewheeling condition. The two screws are not removable. Remove the lamp housing by pulling out the handle. NOTE: There is an interlock on this case to prevent the risk of electrical shock. Do not attempt to circumvent this inter- lock. 3. Insert a new lamp housing until the lamp housing is plugged into the socket. CAUTION Do not use a lamp other than the NEC replacement lamp (VT45LP). Order this from your NEC dealer. Secure it in place with the two screws. Be sure to tighten the screws. 4. Reattach the lamp cover. Tighten the lamp cover screw. Be sure to tighten the screw. Interlock

E–39 Cleaning or Replacing the Filters The air-filter sponge keeps the inside of the VT45 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. CAUTION •Turn off the 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 cover. •Your projector will not operate unless the filter cover is installed correctly. To clean the air-filter: When “Clean Filter” option is turned on, the “Please clean the filters” message will be displayed each time the projector is turned on after it has been used in excess of 100 hours. Should this message appear, clean the filters. •The message can be turned on or off using the “Menu” - “Fil- ter Clean Message” option on the Setup menu. See page E- 35. •After cleaning the filters and resetting the filter usage time back to zero, the message will not be displayed. See page E-37 for resetting the filter usage time. Vacuum the filter-through the filter cover. To replace the air-filter: 1. Remove the filter cover by pushing up on the catch of the cover until you feel it detach. 2. Reinstall the new filter cover. NOTE: Do not detach the sponge from the filter cover. Do not wash the filter cover with soap and water. Soap and water will damage the the filter membrane. Before replacing the filter cover, remove dust and dirt from the projector cabinet. Keep out dust and during filter replacement. NOTE: When you replace the lamp, it is also wise to replace the filters. The filters come in the same package with your replace- ment lamp. NOTE: A mix-up between the two filter covers can cause a dam- age to the projector. The rear and the side filter covers appear to be the same shape, but they are not interchangeable with each other.
