Replacing the Lamp

B Replacing the Lamp

When replacing the lamp, turn off the projector and unplug the AC cord. Wait 45 minutes so that the lamp can cool. When this high-pressure lamp is hot, it may explode if it is improperly handled.

Caution

zDispose of used lamps in accordance with local authorities.

zAs the lamp is made of glass, do not apply shocks to it or scratch it.

zAlso, do not use an old lamp, as this could cause the lamp to explode.

zIf it seems that the lamp has exploded (for example, an explosive sound is heard), disconnect the power cord from the outlet and ask your dealer to replace the lamp. The lamp is covered by a front glass panel and an air-tight structure, but, in rare cases, the reflector and the inside of the projector may be damaged by scattered, broken pieces of glass, which could cause injury while being handled.

zFor replacement lamps, please contact your dealer. (Model name: VLT-X10LP)
