Replacing the Lamp
• Before replacing the lamp, turn off the power and wait at least one hour to allow the product to
cool completely. If it is not completely cool, you may burn or injure yourself due to the inside of
the product and lamp unit being hot. If you replace the lamp without unplugging the power
cord from the power outlet, electric shock or explosion may occur.
• Be careful when handling the used lamp so that it does not break. If it breaks, it may cause
injury.
• Contact your sales or service representative to clean or replace parts for a projector that is
installed on a wall or ceiling.
• Do not attempt to clean or replace parts for a projector that is installed in a high location
on a wall or ceiling. Doing so may cause it to fall down, resulting in an injury.
• Do not open the lamp cover of a projector that is installed on a wall or ceiling. Doing so
may cause the lamp cover to fall down. If the lamp is broken, pieces of glass may fall and
cause an injury.
• Be sure to always use a dedicated replacement lamp that is new when replacing the lamp. If
you use a lamp that is not dedicated, it may result in an explosion and injury.
• The lamp is a glass product. Do not touch the glass surface with bare hands, hit it forcefully, or
damage it.
• This projector's lamp contains trace amounts of environmentally harmful inorganic mercury. Be
careful not to break used lamps, and dispose of them in accordance with local regulations or
contact your sales representative or service representative.
When the lamp is due for replacement, the message "The lamp is reaching the end of its life. Please
change it." is displayed. Change the lamp as instructed.
When [Lamp Power] in [Energy Saving Settings] is specified as [Maximum], replace the lamp after
approximately 3,500 hours. When the setting is [Low], replace it after approximately 5,000 hours.
However, depending on the characteristics of the lamp and how the lamp is used, the image may
become dim or the lamp may go out before the message is displayed. We recommend preparing a
spare lamp, just in case.
Do not repeatedly turn off the projector immediately after the lamp is lit, or turn on the projector
immediately after turning it off. Doing so may damage the lamp or shorten its life.
