Replacing The Lamp - Canon LV-7280 User Manual

 Replacing the Lamp

When the lamp reaches the end of its life, the LAMP indicator in the cabinet will blink red and the message "Replace
with the new lamp."* will appear. Even though the lamp may still be working, replace the lamp to maintain the optimal
projector performance. After replacing the lamp, be sure to clear the lamp hour meter. See page 68.
CAUTION
• DO NOT TOUCH THE LAMP immediately after it has been used. It will be extremely hot. Turn the projector
off, turn off the main power switch and then disconnect the power cord. Allow at least one hour for the lamp to
cool before handling.
• DO NOT REMOVE ANY SCREWS except two lamp housing screws. You could receive an electric shock.
• Do not break the glass on the lamp housing.
Keep finger prints off the glass surface on the lamp housing. Leaving finger prints on the glass surface might
cause an unwanted shadow and poor picture quality.
• The projector will turn off and go into standby mode when you continue to use the projector for another
100 hours after the lamp has reached the end of its life. If this happens, be sure to replace the lamp. If you
continue to use the lamp after the lamp reaches the end of its life, the lamp bulb may shatter, and pieces of
glass may be scattered in the lamp case. Do not touch them as the pieces of glass may cause injury. If this
happens, contact your dealer for lamp replacement.
*NOTE: The message [Replace with the new lamp.] will be displayed under the following conditions:
• for one minute after the projector has been powered on
• when the (POWER) button on the projector cabinet or on the remote control is pressed
To turn off the message, press any button on the projector cabinet or the remote control.
