Replacing the Projection Lamp
WARNING: To avoid burns,
allow the projector to cool for at
least 60 minutes before you
replace the lamp. Never extract
the lamp housing while the
projector is operating.
The lamp hour timer in the Service Info menu counts the number
of hours the lamp has been in use. When the timer reaches 2900
hours, the Lamp LED lights red, indicating that it is time to
change the lamp. You can order new lamp housings from your
dealer. See “Accessories” on page 37 for information.
Follow these steps to replace the projection lamp:
1 Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord.
2 Wait 60 minutes to allow the projector to cool thoroughly.
3 Turn the projector upside down and loosen the captive screw
on the lamp door. The lamp door is part of the lamp housing.
WARNING: Be extremely careful
when removing the lamp housing.
In the unlikely event that the bulb
ruptures, small glass fragments
may be generated. The lamp
module is designed to contain
these fragments, but use caution
when removing the lamp module.
Before replacing the lamp, clean
the lamp compartment and
dispose of cleaning materials.
Wash hands after lamp
replacement. This product has a
lamp which contains a very small
amount of mercury. Dispose of it
as required by local, state or
federal ordinances and regulations.
