• Large flathead screwdriver

• Protective lamp case

• CP2220 • CP4230

Failure to comply with these statements results in death or serious injury:

• ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD! Always turn off, disconnect, and disengage all power 

sources to the projector before servicing. 

• Lamp replacement must be performed by a qualified service technician.
• EXPLOSION HAZARD! Wear authorized protective clothing whenever the lamp door is 

open and when handling the lamp. Never twist or bend the quartz lamp body. Use the 
correct wattage lamp supplied by Christie.

• Ensure those within the vicinity of the projector are also wearing protective safety 

clothing including a full face shield, Kevlar gloves, and a ballistic nylon jacket.

• Never attempt to remove the lamp when it is hot. The lamp is under pressure when hot 

and may explode, causing personal injury, death, or property damage. Allow the lamp to 
cool completely before replacing it.

Improper installation of the lamp can damage the projector. Failure to comply could result in 
death or serious injury.

Only Christie accredited service technicians are permitted to open any enclosure on the 
projector and only if the AC power has been fully disconnected. Failure to comply could 
result in minor or moderate injury.
