Replacing the Lamp
Be careful when replacing the lamp
The lifetime of the lamp depends on the environment in which the projector is used.
You can check how long the lamp has been used in the Lamp Time of the
INFORMATION menu.
You must replace the lamp when:
ꔈ The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate in quality.
ꔈ The lamp indicator is magenta.
ꔈ The message “Replace the lamp” appears on the screen when turning the
projector on.
ꔈ Press the POWER button to turn off the power.
ꔈ If the operation indicator LED is cyan and blinking, do not disconnect the mains supply until the operation indicator
LED has changed to blue as the fan is still running.
ꔈ Allow the lamp to cool down for 1 hour before replacing it.
ꔈ Replace only with the same type of lamp from an LG Electronics Service Center. Using another manufacturer's lamp
may damage the projector and lamp.
ꔈ Only pull the lamp out when replacing it.
ꔈ Keep the lamp unit out of reach of children. Keep the lamp away from heat sources such as radiators, stoves etc. There
is a risk of fire or burning.
ꔈ Do not expose the lamp to liquids or foreign materials. The lamp may burst.
ꔈ Do not insert any flammable or metal objects into the lamp socket after removing the lamp. This can result in electrical
shock or damage the product.
ꔈ Fix the new lamp with screws securely. If it is not securely fixed, the projected image may become darker and there may
be a fire risk.
ꔈ Do not touch the front glass of the new lamp or the glass of the lamp container. Picture quality and lamp lifetime may suffer.
Do not turn off the projector
