IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Fire and Shock Precautions
Lamp Replacement
1. Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are unob-
structed to prevent the build-up of heat inside your projector. Allow at
least 4 inches (10 cm) of space between your projector and a wall.
•
•
To replace the lamp, follow all instructions provided on page E-35.
Be sure to replace the lamp when the message "The lamp has
reached the end of its usable life. Please replace the lamp." ap-
pears. 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 lamp case. Do not touch them as the pieces
of glass may cause injury.
2. Prevent foreign objects such as paper clips and bits of paper from
falling into your projector.
Do not attempt to retrieve any objects that might fall into your projec-
tor. Do not insert any metal objects such as a wire or screwdriver into
your projector. If something should fall into your projector, disconnect
it immediately and have the object removed by a qualified NEC ser-
vice personnel.
If this happens, contact your NEC dealer for lamp replacement.
•
Allow a minimum of 60 seconds to elapse after turning off the projec-
tor. Then disconnect the power cable and allow 60 minutes to cool
the projector before replacing the lamp.
3. Do not place any liquids on top of your projector.
4. Do not look into the lens while the projector is on. Serious damage to
your eyes could result.
5. Keep any items such as magnifying glass out of the light path of the
projector. The light being projected from the lens is extensive, there-
fore any kind of abnormal objects that can redirect light coming out of
the lens, can cause unpredictable outcome such as fire or injury to
the eyes.
What's in the Box?
Make sure your box contains everything listed. If any pieces are missing,
contact your dealer.
Please save the original box and packing materials if you ever need to
ship your LT170 Projector.
6. Do not cover the lens with anything other than the built-in lens shutter
while the projector is on. Doing so can lead to melting of the cover
and possibly burning your hands due to the heat emitted from the
light output.

buttons on your remote control to correct the orientation. (See page E-
33.)
*
