This lamp contains mercury. Consult your local hazardous waste regulations and
dispose of this lamp in the proper manner.
Step 1. Turn the power off and disconnect the projector from the wall socket.
Step 2. Protect the projector's surface by clearing a flat open area on your desk and placing a
soft item on the desk for padding.
Step 3. Turn the projector over. Then loosen the
screws and remove the lamp cover. If the
lamp is hot, avoid burns by waiting for 45
minutes until the lamp has cooled.
Step 4. Loosen the screw that fixes the lamp to the
projector. If the screw is not loosened
completely, the lamp cannot be removed.
Be careful not to lose the screw as it is
needed to hold the replacement lamp in
place. It is strongly recommended that you
use a magnetic-head screwdriver.
Step 5. Lift the handle so that it stands up. Use the
handle to slowly pull the lamp out of the
projector.
•
Pulling too quickly may cause the lamp to
break and scatter broken glass in the
projector.
•
Do not place the lamp in locations where
water might splash on it, children can reach
it, or near flammable materials.
•
Do not insert your hands into the projector
after the lamp is removed. If you touch the optical components inside, it could cause
color unevenness and distortion of the projected images.
Step 6. Insert the new lamp. Ensure the handle is fully laid flat and locked in place. Reinsert
and tighten the screw firmly.
•
A Loose screw may cause a bad connection, which could result in malfunction.
•
Do not over tighten the screw.
Step 7. Re-install the lamp cover and tighten the
screws.
Step 8. Make connection to a signal source to be
displayed. Start up the projector. (Refer to
page
for making connection and page
for turning the power on.)
•
Do not turn the power on with the lamp cover
removed. Whenever the lamp is replaced,
reset the total lamp operation timer.
