Replacing the lamp
•
If lamp replacement is performed while the projector is suspended upside-down from the ceiling,
make sure that no one is underneath the lamp socket to avoid any possible injury or damage to
the human eyes caused by fractured lamp.
•
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always turn the projector off and disconnect the power cord
before changing the lamp.
•
To reduce the risk of severe burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 45 minutes before
replacing the lamp.
•
To reduce the risk of injuries to fingers and damage to internal components, use caution when
removing lamp glass that has shattered into sharp pieces.
•
To reduce the risk of injuries to fingers and/or compromising image quality by touching the lens,
do not touch the empty lamp compartment when the lamp is removed.
