MAINTENANCE
This section describes the simple maintenance procedures you should follow to replace the lamp and clean the filter.
Replacing the Lamp
After your lamp has been operating for 1500 hours (up to 2000 hours in Eco mode) or longer, the LAMP indicator in the cabinet will blink red and the message will appear. Even though the lamp may still be working, replace it at 1500 (up to 2000 hours in Eco mode) hours to maintain optimal projector performance.
CAUTION
•DO NOT TOUCH THE LAMP immediately after it has been used. It will be extremely hot. Turn the projector off, wait 60 seconds, and then unplug the power cable. Allow at least one hour for the lamp to cool before handling.
•DO NOT REMOVE ANY SCREWS except the lamp cover screw and the lamp case screw. You could receive an electric shock.
