Replacing the lamp unit
Warning
When replacing the lamp, allow it
to cool for at least one hour
before handling it.
• The lamp cover gets very hot, and
contact with it can cause burns.
Notes on replacing the
lamp unit
• The light generating lamp is made
of glass, so dropping it or allowing
it to hit hard objects may cause it
to burst. Be careful when handling
the lamp.
• After having removed the old
lamp, carelessly discarding it can
cause the lamp to burst. Dispose
of the lamp with the same care
that would be taken with a
fluorescent light.
• A Phillips screwdriver is
necessary for removing the lamp
unit. Make sure that your hands
are not slippery when using the
screwdriver.
NOTE:
• The projector is not supplied with
a replacement lamp unit. Please
ask your dealer for details. Lamp

CAUTION:
• Do not use any lamp unit other

Lamp unit replacement
period
The lamp is a consumable product.
Even when the full life of the bulb
has not been exhausted, the
brightness of the light will gradually
decline. Therefore periodic
replacement of the lamp is
necessary.
The intended lamp replacement
interval is 2 000 hours, but it is
possible that the lamp may need to
be replaced earlier due to variables
such as a particular lamp's
characteristics, usage conditions
and the installation environment.
Early preparation for lamp
replacement is encouraged.
A lamp that has exceeded 2 000
hours of use has a much greater
chance of exploding. In order to
prevent the lamp from exploding,
the lamp will be automatically shut
off when 2 000 hours of use have
been reached.
NOTE:
• The usage hours explained above
are for use when the HIGH setting
has been selected for LAMP
POWER in the OPTION menu. If
the LOW setting is selected, the
brightness of the lamp will be less
and life of the lamp can be
extended.
• While 2 000 hours is the intended
replacement interval, it is not a
period of time covered by
warranty.
