■Replacing the Lamp unit The life of the lamp used on this projector is 1400 hours.(This may shorten due to the conditions of use.) The lamp is designed to forcibly turn off in the case of a lamp possibly breaking if it is used beyond the lamp usage of 1500 hours.

NOTE • As a safety interlock, your projector lamp does not turn on unless the lamp unit cover is installed. • The lamp unit is sold with the air filter as a set. Therefore, replace the air filter at the same time as replacing the lamp unit.
• Always clean off dust from the outside (protruding surface) of the air filter. If you clean off the dust from the inside, this will reduce the effectiveness of the filter. • Do not forget to re-attach the air filter. Using your projector without an air filter may result in dust and dirt impairing the projected image.
