Replacing The Lamp - Epson V11H818053 User Manual

Projector Lamp Maintenance
Attention
• If you continue to use the lamp after the replacement period has passed, the
possibility that the lamp may explode increases. When the lamp replacement
message appears, replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible, even if it
is still working.
• Do not repeatedly turn off the power and then immediately turn it back on.
Turning the power on and off frequently may shorten the lamp's operating life.
• Depending on the characteristics of the lamp and the way it has been used, the
lamp may become darker or stop working before the lamp warning message
appears. You should always have a spare lamp unit ready in case it is needed.
• We recommend the use of genuine Epson replacement lamps. The use of non-
genuine lamps may affect projection quality and safety. Any damage or
malfunction caused by the use of non-genuine lamps may not be covered by
Epson's warranty.

Replacing the Lamp

You can replace the lamp while the projector is placed on a table or mounted
to the ceiling.
Warning
• Let the lamp fully cool before replacing it to avoid injury.
• Never disassemble or modify the lamp. If a modified or disassembled lamp is
installed in the projector, it could cause a fire, electric shock, or other damage or
injury.
a
Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord.
b
Allow the projector lamp to cool down for at least one hour.
c
Use the screwdriver included with the replacement lamp to loosen the
screw securing the lamp cover.
Warning
When replacing the lamp, there is a possibility that the lamp may be
broken. If replacing the lamp of a projector which has been installed on the
ceiling, you should always assume that the lamp is cracked, and you should
stand to the side of the lamp cover, not underneath it. Remove the lamp
cover gently. Be careful when removing the lamp cover as shards of glass
may fall out and could cause an injury. If any shards of glass get into your
eyes or mouth, contact a doctor immediately.
