■ Lamp Replacement
WARNING:
- For continued safety, replace with a lamp assembly of the same
type.
- Allow the projector to cool for at least 45 minutes before you
open the lamp cover. The inside of the projector can become
very hot.
- Do not drop the lamp module or touch the glass bulb! The glass
can shatter and cause injury.
Procedure
1 Tu rn off the projector and disconnect the AC cord. Allow the pro-
jector to cool for at least 45 minutes.
2 Loosen 1 screws with a screwdriver and remove the lamp cover.
3 Loosen 2 screws and pull out the lamp assembly by grasping the
handle.
4 Replace the lamp with a new one and tighten the 2 screws back
into position. Make sure that the lamp is set properly. Replace
the lamp cover and tighten the screw.
5 Connect the AC cord to the projector and turn on.
6 Reset the Lamp Replace Counter, see below explanation.
Note:
- The projector cannot be turned-on with lamp cover removed,
because when the lamp cover is removed, the lamp cover switch
is also released to switch off the lamp circuit.
1 Tu rn the projector on, press the MENU button and the
On-Screen Menu will appear. Press the Point
Left/Right button to move the red frame pointer to the
Setting Menu icon.

[Yes] and then press the SELECT button.

Recommendation
Should the air filter become clogged with dust particles,
it will reduce the cooling fan’s effectiveness and may
result in internal heat build up and short lamp life. We
recommend cleaning the air filter after the projection
lamp is replaced.
Refer to “Air Filter Cleaning”.
