Replacing the Lamp
••••
If the lamp stops working and needs to be replaced, there is the danger that the lamp may 
break when handled. 
If replacing the lamp of a projector which has been installed to the ceiling, you should 
remove the projector from the ceiling before replacing the lamp. If the projector cannot be 
removed from the ceiling, you should always assume that the lamp is broken and handle it 
with extreme care during removal. Furthermore, you should stand to the side of the 
projector, not underneath it.
