Maintenance
Replacing the lamp
1. Turn the power off and disconnect the projector from the power outlet. If the lamp is hot, avoid
burns by waiting for approximately 45 minutes until the lamp has cooled.
2. Loosen the screw(s) that secure the lamp cover on the
side of the projector until the lamp cover loosens.
It is strongly recommended that you replace the lamp at this
age. The lamp is a consumable item. The lamp brightness
diminishes with use. This is normal lamp behavior. You can
replace the lamp whenever you notice that the brightness level
has significantly diminished.
