Maintenance
Lamp Information
Use and Replacement of the Lamp
When the Lamp Indicator lights up red or a message appears suggesting the time of lamp
replacement, please install a new lamp or consult your dealer. An old lamp could cause a
malfunction in the projector and in rare instances may even break.
For more detailed information, please refer to "LED Indicator Status & Illustration" on page
28.
The Lamp and Temp indicators will light up if the lamp becomes too hot. Turn off the power
and let the projector cool for 45 minutes. If the Lamp or Temp indicator still lights up when
turning the power on, please contact your dealer.
Lamp Replacement
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always turn off the projector and disconnect the power
cord before changing the lamp.
To reduce the risk of severe burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 45 minutes before
replacing the lamp.
To reduce the risk of injuries to fingers and damage to internal components, use caution when
removing lamp glass that has shattered into sharp pieces.
To reduce the risk of injuries to fingers and/or compromising image quality by touching the
lens, do not touch the empty lamp compartment when the lamp is removed.
This lamp contains mercury. Consult your local hazardous waste regulations to dispose of
this lamp in a proper manner.
Maintenance 25
Step 1. Turn off the projector. Discon-
nect the power cord from the
outlet and the projector.
Step 2. Loosen the screw and remove the
lamp cover. (It is strongly recommended that you use a magnetic-head screwdriver.) If the
lamp is hot, avoid burns by waiting 45 minutes until the lamp
has cooled.
Step 3. Loosen the 3 screws. Pull the han-
dle to remove the lamp housing.
If the screws are not loosened
completely, they could injure
your fingers. Do not insert your
hand into the box after the lamp
is removed. If you touch the
optical components inside, this
could cause color unevenness in
projected images.
Step 4. Replace the lamp with a new one.
Insert it into the projector, and
tighten the screws firmly. Loose
screws may cause a bad connection, which may result in malfunction.
Step 5. Re-install the lamp cover and
tighten the screw. Do not turn
on the power with the lamp
cover removed. Whenever the
lamp is replaced, reset the total
lamp operation time. Do not
reset if the lamp is not replaced
as this could cause damage.
