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 finger prints off the glass surface on the lamp housing. Leaving finger 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 service. 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 1. Place the projector on a soft cloth and turn it over to access the lamp cover on the bottom.
2. 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.
3. Loosen the two screws securing the lamp housing until the phillips screwdriver goes into a freewheeling condition. The two screws are not removable. Remove the lamp housing by holding the handle.

Fig. C

Note: Removing or Inserting the Lamp (Sticking of Packing Ring)
After lamp replacement, a black packing ring may be stuck inside the projector (Fig. A and Fig. B). If this happens, do the following: If the used packing ring does not remain inside the projector (Fig. C), proceed with the new lamp housing installation. If the used packing ring is stuck inside the projector (Fig. B), remove it from inside the projector before installing the new lamp housing. To remove the packing ring, simply pull it off of the stud. * In other cases where the lamp is removed (other than lamp replacement), pulling out the lamp housing may also cause the packing ring to stay stuck inside the projector. If this happens, make sure to insert the lamp housing back in its original position.

CAUTION

Before removing the used packing ring, be sure to turn off the projector, wait for the cooling fan to stop, disconnect the power cable, and allow at least one hour for the lamp to cool. The projector can become very hot when it is turned on and stay hot immediately after it is turned off. Do not install a new lamp with the used packing ring stuck inside the projector as it requires excessive force to install the new lamp which then may cause damage to the projector.
4. Push the part as shown on the drawing and insert a new lamp housing until it is plugged into the socket. CAUTION Do not use a lamp other than the NEC replacement lamp NP03LP (NP60) or NP02LP (NP50/NP40). Order this from your NEC dealer. Secure it in place with the two screws. NOTE: Tighten the two screws alternately until both screws are completely tightened. Failure to do this can result in air leak from the cooling pump, causing the pump error. ( page 52)
5. Reattach the lamp cover. Tighten the lamp cover screw. Be sure to tighten the screw.
This completes the lamp replacement. Go on to the cooling pump replacement. To replace the cooling pump: 6. Remove the cooling pump. (1) Loosen the cooling pump cover screw until the screwdriver goes into a freewheeling condition. - The cooling pump cover screw is not removable.

(2) Remove the cooling pump cover.
Contact area of the connector
NOTE: Keep the contact area of the connector clean. If there are dust and dirt in the contact area of the connector, remove them.
7. Install a new cooling pump. (1) Align the tabs on the cooling pump cover with the guide on the cabinet and slide the cooling pump cover.
(2) Tighten the cooling pump cover screw. - Be sure to tighten the cooling pump cover screw.
This completes the cooling pump replacement. Go on to the next step. 8. Connect the supplied power cable and turn on the projector. 9. Finally, select the menu [Reset] [Clear Lamp Hours] to reset the lamp usage hours. NOTE: When the lamp exceeds 2100 hours (up to 3100 hours in Eco mode) of service, the projector cannot turn on and the menu is not displayed. If this happens, press the HELP button on the remote control for 10 seconds to reset the lamp clock back to zero. When the lamp time clock is reset to zero, the LAMP indicator goes out.

If there is no picture, or the picture is not displayed correctly. Power on process for the projector and the PC. Be sure to connect the projector and notebook PC while the projector is in standby mode and before turning on the power to the notebook PC. In most cases the output signal from the notebook PC is not turned on unless connected to the projector before being powered up. NOTE: You can check the horizontal frequency of the current signal in the projectors menu under Information. If it reads 0kHz, this means there is no signal being output from the computer. See page 45 or go to next step. Enabling the computers external display. Displaying an image on the notebook PCs screen does not necessarily mean it outputs a signal to the projector. When using a PC compatible laptop, a combination of function keys will enable/disable the external display. Usually, the combination of the Fn key along with one of the 12 function keys gets the external display to come on or off. For example, NEC laptops use Fn + F3, while Dell laptops use Fn + F8 key combinations to toggle through external display selections. Non-standard signal output from the computer If the output signal from a notebook PC is not an industry standard, the projected image may not be displayed correctly. Should this happen, deactivate the notebook PCs LCD screen when the projector display is in use. Each notebook PC has a different way of deactivate/reactivate the local LCD screens as described in the previous step. Refer to your computers documentation for detailed information. Image displayed is incorrect when using a Macintosh When using a Macintosh with the projector, set the DIPswitch of the Mac adapter (not supplied with the projector) according to your resolution. After setting, restart your Macintosh for the changes to take affect. For setting display modes other than those supported by your Macintosh and the projector, changing the DIP switch on a Mac adapter may bounce an image slightly or may display nothing. Should this happen, set the DIP switch to the 13 fixed mode and then restart your Macintosh. After that, restore the DIP switches to a displayable mode and then restart the Macintosh again. NOTE: A Video Adapter cable manufactured by Apple Computer is needed for a PowerBook which does not have a mini D-Sub 15-pin connector. Mirroring on a PowerBook * When using the projector with a Macintosh PowerBook, output may not be set to 1024 x 768 unless mirroring is off on your PowerBook. Refer to owners manual supplied with your Macintosh computer for mirroring. Folders or icons are hidden on the Macintosh screen Folders or icons may not be seen on the screen. Should this happen, select [View] [Arrange] from the Apple menu and arrange icons.
