Ensure the projector is switched off.
Unplug all the cables from the projector.
Prepare a Phillips-head screwdriver.
Contact an Authorised Service Centre to purchase a replacement Lamp unit (ET-LAX100).
The Lamp unit is consumable and the brightness decreases by duration of usage. The LAMP indicator will alert
you of the replacement timing at 1 800 hours, and at 2 000 hours, the projector will be turned off. 1 800 or
2 000 hours is a rough guidance and might be shortened by the usage conditions, characteristics of the lamp unit,
environmental conditions, and so on. You can check the duration of usage time using LAMP RUNTIME in the
OPTION menu.
