Replacing the lamp
The lamp may be very hot. Allow the projector to cool for at least 45 minutes before replacing the lamp.
This lamp contains mercury. Consult your local hazardous waste regulations to dispose of this lamp in a
proper manner.
10. Turn the power on and go into Setup > Lamp > Reset Lamp Timer menu to reset the lamp time.
Do not reset the lamp timer if the lamp has not been replaced as this could cause damage.
1.
Turn the power off and disconnect the
projector from the wall socket. Turn off all
connected equipment and disconnect all other
cables.
2.
Slightly lift the projector up. Loosen the screws on
the lamp cover (located on the left side).
3.
Remove the lamp cover.
4.
Loosen the screws that hold the lamp to the
projector. If the screws are not loosened
completely, they could injure your fingers. It is
strongly recommended that you use a magnetic-
head screwdriver to retain the screw should it
come loose.
5.
Slowly pull the lamp out of the projector.
Pulling it too quickly may cause the lamp to
break and scatter broken glass in the projector. To
reduce the risk of injuries to fingers and damage to
internal components, use caution when removing
lamp glass that has shattered.
Do not place the lamp in locations where water
might splash on it, children can reach it, near or
above heat sources, or near flammable materials.
Do not insert your hand into the projector
when the lamp is removed. If you touch the optical
components inside, it could cause blurred images.
6.
Insert the replacement lamp. Make sure it is
pushed fully and firmly in place.
7.
Tighten the screws securing the lamp box.
Please be careful to not over-tighten the screws.
Loose screws may cause a bad connection, which
could result in malfunction.
8.
Re-install the lamp cover.
9.
Tighten the screws on the lamp cover.
