the box after the lamp is removed. If
you touch the optical components
inside, this could cause color
unevenness in projected images.
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.
5. Re-install the lamp cover and tighten
the screw. Do not turn on the
power with the lamp cover
removed.
6. After the lamp is replaced, turn on the
projector and reset the total lamp
operation time. To do this, use the
on-screen menu system and go to
Setup > Advanced > Lamp Reset. Do
not reset if the lamp is not
replaced as this could cause
damage.
