When to replace the lamp

The LAMP indicator starts to flash red and the message shown below appears whenever the lamp time exceeds 2000 hours.

It is time to replace the lamp. Use the procedure in the User’s Guide to replace the lamp as soon as possible.

When this message appears, replace the lamp as soon as possible using the procedure under “Replacing the Lamp” on page 27.

Note that the above message will disappear about 10 seconds after you turn on the projector, even if you do not replace the lamp.

You will be able to continue using the projector without replacing the lamp until the lamp time reaches 100 hours. At that time, the LAMP indicator will stop flashing and remain lit red, the following message will appear for about 10 seconds, and then the projector will turn off automatically.

The lamp has exceeded its service life! The projector will not turn on until you replace the lamp.

When this message appears, replace the lamp immediately using the procedure under “Replacing the Lamp” on page 27.

Replacing the Lamp

Caution

zDuring normal use, the lamp and the area around it become extremely hot. Before replacing the lamp, turn off the projector and wait for the cool down operation (indicated when the POWER/STANDBY indicator is flashing amber) to finish. Next, disconnect the AC power cord from the projector, and wait for at least 60 minutes to allow it to cool down even further.

Touching the lamp or the area around it during operation or immediately after turning off the projector creates the risk of serious burn injury.

zReplace the lamp using the SP-LAMP-029 optional lamp cartridge only.

zA mercury lamp with high internal pressure is used as the light source. A lamp that is weakened by impact, damage, or expiration of its lamp life may explode or fail to light if exposed to loud noise. Note that lamp life differs greatly from lamp to lamp, and is affected by conditions under which the lamp is used.

zNever touch the glass of the lamp with your fingers. Doing so can cause the lamp to rupture and shorten its life.

zA broken lamp can cause glass fragments to be scattered inside the lamp housing. Gas inside of the lamp housing may also be discharged from the projector’s vent exhaust ports. Gas inside of the lamp includes mercury, so be sure to ventilate the area whenever the lamp breaks. Should you accidentally inhale gas fumes or should gas fumes get into your eyes, immediately contact a physician.

zShould the lamp break, take care to avoid personal injury on the glass fragments. Never try to replace a broken lamp on your own. Contact InFocus service (www.infocus.com/service) to request a replacement.

Warning

Hg - Lamp contains mercury. Manage in accordance with local disposal laws. See www.lamprecycle.org
