The indicator on the keypad will turn RED when lamp life is expired. Change the lamp when
lifetime expires. Always replace lamp with the same type and rating. USE ORIGINAL LAMPS
ONLY.
The lamp holder employs an electronic lamp timer that is tracking the life time of the lamp.
Always disconnect the power cord and wait until the projector has cooled down (60 minutes)
before opening the lamp cover.
Be careful not to touch the protective glass when replacing the lamp,
this may cause the protective glass to overheat and break while in use.
Be extremely careful when removing the lamp module. In the unlikely event that
the bulb ruptures, small glass fragments may be generated. The lamp module is
designed to contain these fragments, but use caution when removing the lamp
module.
Remove the used lamp:
1. Unscrew the lamp door screw
2. Open the lamp door
3. Unscrew the three screws that hold the lamp in place
4. Pull the lamp out using the handle
Replace with a new lamp in reverse order:
1. Insert a new lamp. Observe the guide pins and make sure the lamp is fully inserted
2. Fasten the three screws securely
3. Close the lamp door
4. Tighten the lamp door screw firmly
In the unlikely event of a lamp rapture, a limited amount of mercury vapour
may be emitted into the room. To avoid inhaling this mercury vapour (which is
toxic, and can be harmful for lungs and nervous system) the room should be
thoroughly ventilated for a period of at least 30 minutes. There are no known
health hazards from exposure to lamps that are intact and which are used within
an enclosed fixture. No adverse effects are expected from occasional exposure
to broken lamps. As a matter of good practise, avoid prolonged or frequent
exposure to lamps unless there is adequate ventilation. The major hazard from
broken lamps is the possibility of sustaining glass cuts.
