liquid or easily flammable cleansers
(sprays, abrasives, polishes, alcohol,
etc.). Do not allow any moisture to
reach the interior of the projector.
Do not spray the projector with any
cleaning fluids.
Wipe over the surfaces gently. Be
careful that you do not scratch the

cleaning the lens of the projector.
DANGER!
Do not use any liquid cleaning agents!
Do not use any liquid cleaning
agents for cleaning the lens, to avoid
damaging the coating film on the lens.
Replace the lamp
The UHP lamp will last up to 10,000 hours.
It will mature during its life time, so some loss in
brightness is a normal part of the process and
should be expected. We recommend that the
lamp is replaced between 5,000 and 10,000
hours, depending which lamp mode is used.
To check the elapsed lamp, press
on the remote control and go to Information - Lamp Hour.
To purchase a replacement lamp, contact your
dealer or our customer service centre�
CAUTION!
Do not operate the lamp beyond the
rated lamp life. Excessive operation of
lamps could cause a lamp to break on
rare occasions.

DANGER!
Instructions for cleaning!
To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
always turn the projector off and
disconnect the power cable 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.

2 Find the connector cover on the bottom of
the left side panel of the projector. Open
the connector cover to find two small
screws which fasten the lamp cover. Then
use an appropriate screwdriver to remove
the two screws, and remove the lamp cover.
CAUTION!
Do not connect the projector to

removed.
Do not insert your fingers inside the
projector. The sharp edges may cause
injuries.
3 Loosen the two screws which fasten the
lamp. See the figure below.
4 Gently pull the lamp out by holding the two

Do not place the lamp in locations
where water might splash on
it, children can reach it, or near
flammable materials.
Do not insert your hands inside the
projector after the lamp is removed.
If you touch the optical components
inside, it could cause colour
unevenness and distortion of the
projected images.
5 Gently insert the new lamp. If it doesn’t fit
easily, make sure it is inserted in the correct
way.
6 Tighten the two screws which secure the lamp.

Measures to take if Screen Mirroring does
not work anymore after a firmware update
of an Android or iOS device.
• We recommend checking regularly for new
firmware of your projector (see Update software, page 25).
• For an Android device, select and access the
screen mirroring feature on the home screen.
Screen mirroring does not work with the
available Android device.
• In order to allow screen mirroring, your device
must support Miracast. Not all Android devices
support this function. The function name can be
also known as Screencast, Screen Sharing, WiFi
Direct, Wireless Display, etc..
• Please refer to the user manual of your Android
device to check if this function is supported and
how it can be enabled.
When I view videos, the sound or the
picture is sometimes distorted or the sound
is not synchronized to the picture.
• The available Wi-Fi bandwidth is insufficient for
sending the video flawlessly from the smartphone
to the projector. This can happen if one or more
Wi-Fi networks operate in the same frequency
range nearby. Certain IoT devices (e.g. ZigBee
enabled devices) also operate in this frequency
range.
• Your smartphone is not fast enough to compress
the screen data and send it simultaneously over
Wi-Fi.
• Your smartphone may maintain parallel
connections to your home network and
the projector. This will reduce the available
bandwidth. Disabling temporarily the connection
to your home network may help.
The temperature of the projector’s surface
is warm.
• For this projector it is normal to generate
moderate heat during operation.
