• 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 immediately 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.

How to replace the lamp

The lamp can be replaced even when the projector is suspended from a
ceiling.

Warning
• When replacing the lamp because it has stopped illuminating, 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 your local physician
immediately.
• Never disassemble or remodel the lamp. If a modified or disassembled lamp
is installed in the projector and used, it could cause a fire, electric shock, or
an accident.
Caution
Wait until the lamp has cooled down sufficiently before removing the lamp
cover. If the lamp is still hot, burns or other injuries may result. It takes about
one hour after the power has been turned off for the lamp to be cool enough.
a
After you turn off the projector's power and the confirmation
buzzer beeps twice, disconnect the power cord.
b
Wait until the lamp has sufficiently cooled down, and then remove
the lamp cover at the top of the projector.
Loosen the Lamp cover fixing screw with the screwdriver supplied
with the new lamp unit or a cross-head screwdriver. Then slide the
lamp cover straight forward and lift it to remove.
