Replacing the Lamp
Before you replace the lamp, let the projector cool down for at least one hour so the lamp will not be hot.
Warning:
Let the lamp fully cool before replacing it to avoid injury.
You can replace the lamp while the projector is mounted to the ceiling, if necessary.
1.
Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord.
2.
Allow the projector lamp to cool down for at least one hour.
3.
Use the screwdriver included with the replacement lamp to loosen the screw securing the lamp
cover.
Warning:
If the lamp is broken, glass fragments may be loose inside the lamp chamber. Be careful
removing any broken glass to avoid injury. If the projector is installed on the ceiling, stand to the side
of the lamp cover and not underneath it; pieces of glass could fall into your eyes or mouth when you
open the lamp cover.
