If you continue to use the Lamp after the replacement period has passed,
the possibility that the lamp may explode increases. When the Lamp
replacement message appears, replace the Lamp with a new one as soon as
possible, even if it is still working.
•
Depending on the characteristics of the Lamp and the way it has been
used, the lamp may become darker or stop working before the lamp
warning message appears. You should always have a spare lamp unit ready
in case it is needed.
How to replace the Lamp
The Lamp can be replaced even when the projector is suspended from
a ceiling.
Warning
•
When replacing the Lamp because it has stopped illuminating, there is a
possibility that the Lamp may be broken. If replacing the Lamp of a
projector which has been installed on the ceiling, you should always
assume that the Lamp is broken, and you should stand to the side of the
Lamp cover, not underneath it. Remove the Lamp cover gently.
•
Never disassemble or remodel the Lamp. If a remodeled or reassembled
Lamp is installed into the projector and used, it could cause a fire, electric
shock, or an accident.
