power light stops flashing, unplug the power cord.
3. Let the projector cool for at least an hour (if it has been on). The
lamp is extremely hot immediately after use.
note
When you get a replacement
lamp for your projector, you
should replace the filter.
To check how long the lamp
has been in use, see
page 127.
Turn off this product when
not in use to prolong the life
of the projector.
warning
Let the lamp cool fully
before replacing it.
In the unlikely event that
the lamp has broken, small
glass fragments may be
present and should be
removed carefully to avoid
injury.
If the lamp is used after the
replacement period has
passed, the possibility that
the lamp may break
increases. When a lamp
replacement message
appears, replace the lamp
with a new one as soon as
possible, even if it is still
working.
