Lamp Life
Projector lamps have a finite life. The projected images will become darker and hues will become weaker after a lamp has been used for a long period of time.
The LAMP indicator also becomes red when the lamp unit reaches a high temperature. Before replacing the lamp, switch the POWER OFF, wait approximately 20 minutes, then switch the POWER ON again. If the LAMP indicator still displays red, replace the lamp.
Replacing the Lamp
All projector lamps will wear out eventually. If used for long periods of time, the image could become darkened, and the color contrast could be impacted as well. We recommend that you replace your lamps early. If the LAMP indicator turns red, or a message prompts you to replace the lamp when you power up the projector, the lamp needs to be replaced.
1Turn off the projector, and unplug the power cord. Allow the lamp bulb to cool for at least 45 minutes, and prepare a new lamp
2After making sure that the projector has cooled adequately, slowly flip over the projector, so that the bottom is facing up
3Unscrew the 2 screws, and remove the lamp cover
4Unscrew the 1 screw, and slowly pull out the lamp by the handle
•Be careful not to touch the inside of the lamp case.
