Replacing the lamp

If lamp replacement is performed while the projector is suspended upside-down from the
ceiling, make sure that no one is underneath the lamp socket to avoid any possible injury or
damage to the human eyes caused by fractured lamp.

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always turn the projector off and disconnect the power
cord before changing the lamp.

To reduce the risk of severe burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 45 minutes before
replacing the lamp.
