Timing of replacing the lamp
When the Lamp indicator lights up red or a message appears suggesting it is time to replace the lamp,
please install a new lamp or consult your dealer. An old lamp may cause a malfunction in the projector and
in some instances the lamp may explode. Go to
http://lamp.BenQ.com
for a replacement lamp.
The Lamp indicator light and Temperature warning light will light up if the lamp becomes too hot. Turn
the power off and let the projector cool for 45 minutes. If the Lamp or Temp indicator still lights up after
turning the power back on, please contact your dealer. See
"Indicators" on page 48
for details.
The following Lamp warning displays will remind you to change the lamp.
Replacing the lamp
•
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.
