Changing the Lamp
CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the Safety Instructions as described in About Your Dell
Projector.
Replace the lamp when the message "Lamp is approaching the end of its useful life in the operation. Replacement suggested!
www.dell.com/lamps" appears on the screen. If this problem persists after replacing the lamp, contact Dell. For more information, see
Getting help.
CAUTION: Use an original lamp to ensure safe and optimal working condition of your projector.
CAUTION: The lamp becomes very hot when in use. Do not attempt to replace the lamp until the projector has been allowed to
cool down for at least 30 minutes.
CAUTION: Do not touch the bulb or the lamp glass at any time. Projector lamps are very fragile and may shatter if touched. The
shattered glass pieces are sharp and can cause injury.
CAUTION: If the lamp shatters, remove all broken pieces from the projector and dispose or recycle according to state, local, or
federal law. For more information see www.dell.com/hg
Reset the lamp usage time by selecting "Yes" for Lamp Reset in the OSD Power Settings of the Advanced Settings menu. When a
new lamp module has been changed, the projector will automatically detect and reset the lamp hours.
