1. Turn TV power off and allow the lamp to cool at least
one hour before proceeding.
2. After the lamp has cooled, remove the plastic air
exhaust grille/cover by removing two screws with a
#2 (large) Phillips screwdriver. See figure 1.
3. With a large flat-blade screwdriver, loosen the three
shiny screws securing the lamp cartridge until they
disengage from the mating threads. These are
captive screws and cannot be separated from the
lamp cartridge.
4. Fully open up the bag supplied with the replacement
lamp and set the opened bag aside. If no bag was
supplied, use any available small paper bag.
5. Grasp the wire handle of the lamp cartridge and
pull the old cartridge straight out towards you. See
figures 2 and 3. Note the orientation of the cartridge.
CAUTION: Do not tilt or rotate the cartridge, as small
glass fragments may fall out.
6. Without tilting or putting down the lamp cartridge,
insert it into the opened bag. Close the bag while
being careful that no glass particles fall out.
7. Do not touch the glass parts of the new lamp
cartridge. Insert the new cartridge into the TV in the
same orientation as the old cartridge. Push on the
cartridge housing until it is fully seated.
8. With either your fingers or the screwdriver, gently
tighten the three screws. If using a screwdriver,
use only two fingers for final tightening. AVOID
OVERTIGHTENING!

10. WASH YOUR HANDS THOROUGHLY, AS THIS LAMP
