Replacing the 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.
• This lamp contains mercury. Consult your local hazardous waste regulations to dispose
of this lamp in a proper manner.
1. Turn the power off and disconnect the projector from the wall socket.
2. Protect the projector's surface by clearing a flat open area on your desk and placing a
soft item on the desk for padding.
3. Turn the projector over. Then loosen the
screw and remove the lamp cover. If the
lamp is hot, avoid burns by waiting for 45
minutes until the lamp has cooled.
4. Loosen the screw that fixes the lamp to the
projector. If the screw is not loosened
completely, the lamp cannot be removed.
Be careful not to lose the screw as it is
needed to hold the replacement lamp in
place. It is strongly recommended that you
use a magnetic-head screwdriver.
5. Lift the handle so that it stands up. Use the
handle to slowly pull the lamp out of the
projector.
• Pulling too quickly may cause the lamp to
break and scatter broken glass in the
projector.
• Do not place the lamp in locations where
water might splash on it, children can reach
it, or near flammable materials.
If this warning message displays, the projector will
shut down in 40 seconds. The lamp MUST be
replaced before the projector will operate normally.
