Lamp replacement
The lifecycle of ordinary projection lamp
typically lasts for 1200 hours before requiring
replacement (different lamp configurations
will affect lamp life). From the OSD Menu,
you can go to " Page 45 : Lamp1 Run Time
". to check how long a lamp has been used.
You should also replace the lamp when the
projected image gets noticeably darker.
Contact your local dealer to purchase new
certified lamps for your projector.
To replace the projector lamp
1. Turn off the projector and unplug
the power cord. Let the projector
cool for approximately 60 minutes
before removing the lamp module for
replacement.
When you turn off the projector, the lamp inside
the projector will still be very hot (approximately
200 ~ 300°C). If you attempt to replace the lamp
without allowing the projector to cool, you could risk
scalding yourself. This is why you should wait for no
less than 60 minutes for the lamp to cool down in
order to perform the replacement safely.
2. Loosen the lamp cover.
