Maintaining the Projector

Replacing the lamp module
As the projector operates over time, the brightness of the projector lamp gradually decreases
and the lamp becomes more susceptible to breakage. You can install a new lamp at any time
to bring the projector up to factory-fresh brightness. We recommend replacing the lamp if a
warning message is displayed.
WARNING!
Replacing the lamp module requires special consideration:
•
To reduce the risk of injury, be careful when removing the lamp module as broken glass
might be present. HP also recommends wearing goggles and gloves when removing the
lamp module. If the lamp is broken, contact HP about repairs that might be required due to
glass fragments.
•
The lamp in this digital projector contains mercury. If the lamp breaks, adequately ventilate
the immediate area, discard any nearby food and drink, and thoroughly clean the table
surface around the projector. Wash your hands after cleaning the area or handling a
broken lamp. Note that disposal of this lamp may be regulated under applicable
environmental laws due to presence of mercury. For disposal or recycling information,
please contact your local authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance (www.eiae.org).

•
Because the lamp assembly operates at a very high temperature, wait 30 minutes before
removing the lamp module.
1.
Turn off the projector and allow it to cool for 30 minutes.
2.
If the projector is installed in a ceiling mount, remove it from the mount.
3.
Unplug the power cord.
