Replacing the projection lamp

The lamp hour timer in the About menu counts the number of hours the lamp has been in use. Fifty hours before the specified end of the lamp’s life, the message “Replace lamp” briefly appears on the screen at each startup and in the Interactive Display. After 50 additional hours, the lamp will no longer light. You can order new lamp modules from your dealer. See “Accessories” on page 43 for information.

1Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable.

2Wait 60 minutes to allow the projector to cool thoroughly.

3Turn the projector upside down and remove the lamp door by placing a flat-blade screwdriver into the space between the lamp door and the projector and gently prying the door off.

4Loosen the captive screw on the lamp module.

WARNINGS:

•To avoid burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 60 minutes before you replace the lamp.

•Unplug the power cord before replacing the lamp.

•Do not drop the lamp module. The glass may shatter and cause injury.

•Do not touch the glass lamp screen. Fingerprints can obscure projection sharpness.
