Replacing the Lamp Cartridge
The lamp that is used as a light source in the projector has a limited service life. The rated service
life of the lamp is about 1,000 hours. This could be shortened depending on conditions of use and
other factors.
When the lamp timer exceeds a usage time of 1000 hours, the STATUS indicator lights and the lamp
timer display appears on the screen. When usage time exceeds 1100 hours, the lamp will cease to light.
Should this occur, it is time to replace the lamp cartridge.
CAUTION
• Replacement of the lamp cartridge is performed after switching off the power, waiting for the
cooling fan to stop, disconnecting the power plug from the power outlet, and then leaving the
projector for about 60 minutes before replacement is started. Replacement of the lamp car-
tridge during operation or immediately after operation stops will cause burns because of the
high temperature.
• Do not remove any screws other than those specified.
• Do not touch the lamp with bare hands. Doing so could shorten the life of the lamp.
• If lamp has reached the end of its usable life, the lamp bulb may shatter. When this happens, an
explosive sound can be heard and pieces of glass may be scattered in the lamp cartridge. Do
not touch them as the pieces of glass may cause injury. If this happens, contact your dealer or
the store the projector was purchased.
