Removing the Old Lamp Cartridge
1. Turn off TV power and allow the lamp to cool for at
least one hour before proceeding.
2. After the lamp has cooled, remove the cover. Refer to
figures 1 and 2. Use a #2 (large) Phillips screwdriver
to remove the two screws securing the cover. Keep
the screws and cover for re-installation
3. With a large flat-blade screwdriver, loosen the two
shiny screws securing the lamp cartridge until they
disengage from the mating threads. These are captive
screws and cannot be separated from the lamp car-
tridge.
4. Fully open up the bag supplied with the replacement
lamp cartridge and set the opened bag aside.
5. Gently grasp the handle of the old lamp cartridge and
pull it straight out towards you. See figure 3. Note the
orientation of the cartridge.
CAUTION: Do not tilt or rotate the cartridge, as small
glass fragments may fall out.
6. Without tilting or putting down the old lamp cartridge,
insert it into the opened bag. Close the bag while
being careful not to let any glass particles fall out.
Installing the New Lamp Cartridge
1. Do not touch the glass parts of the new lamp
cartridge. Insert the new cartridge into the TV in the
same orientation as the old cartridge. Push on the
cartridge housing until it is fully seated.
2. With either your fingers or the screwdriver, gently
tighten the two shiny screws. If using a screwdriver,
use only two fingers for final tightening. AVOID OVER-
TIGHTENING!
3. Replace the plastic cover and retaining screws.
4. WASH YOUR HANDS THOROUGHLY, AS THIS LAMP
CONTAINS MERCURY.
