Replacing the Lamp

Use a screwdriver to remove the screw(s) from the cover, and then pull out the
lamp.

The projector will detect the lamp life itself. It will show you a warning message
"Lamp is approaching the end of its useful life in full power operation.
Replacement Suggested!" When you see this message, change the lamp as soon
as possible. Make sure the projector has been cooled down for at least 45
minutes before changing the lamp.

Warning: Lamp compartment is hot! Allow it to cool down before
changing lamp!

To remove the lamp:

Turn the projector off by pressing (POWER). Allow the projector at least 45
minutes to cool down. Disconnect the power cord.

1 Use a screwdriver to remove the screw from the cover. (Illustration #1)

2 Push up and remove the cover.

3 Remove the lamp protection film (Illustration #2).

4 Remove the lamp connector from the projector and the screw that secures

the lamp module (Illustration #3).

5 Lift the handle so that it stands up (Illustration #5). Pull out the lamp

module by force (Illustration #4).

To replace the lamp module, use a new lamp and reverse the above steps
(Illustrations # - # ).
