Replacing the projection lamp
The lamp hour timer in the About menu counts the number of hours the lamp has been in use. After 1980 hours, the message “Change lamp” briefly appears on the screen at each startup. To maintain optimal video perfor- mance, we recommend changing the lamp after 2000 hours, depending on usage. You can order new lamp modules from your dealer. See “Accesso- ries” on page 32 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 removing the two screws and sliding the lamp door tabs out of the three tab bays.
CAUTION: Never operate the projector with the lamp door removed. This disrupts the air flow and causes the projector to overheat.
4Loosen the captive screw on the lamp module.
