NOTE: For this procedure you will need the correct 500W "Lamp and Filter
Replacement Kit" manufactured by Christie Digital Systems.
The high brightness of your projector is provided by a 500W Xenon lamp
permanently mounted inside its own protective housing. For improved brightness,
this lamp assembly should be replaced after 1000 hours of use.
How Old is The Lamp?
The number of hours logged on the current lamp appears both in the Lamp menu
(accessed through the Main menu) and the Status menu. In the Status menu, do not
confuse "Lamp Hours" with "Lamp Counter", which indicates the number of hours
logged since the Lamp Counter was reset and which is normally used for rental
projectors only.
NOTE: As the lamp nears its limit (as set in Lamp Limit), a message can appear on
screen to warn that the lamp needs to be replaced. To make sure that this warning
appears, enter a checkmark in the Lamp Message checkbox located in the Lamp
submenu.

You will need a long (10") Phillips screwdriver for this procedure.
